Wayne, Indiana 46804 Model Aviation Headquarters Jeremy, I can't resist replying to your question on an electric glider for a couple of reasons. One, I am putting on a one design hand launch contest this February and have always been cranked up over the idea of a one design contest. The other reason is to invite you to check out my Big Bird or 2M Lil Bird. You can learn about them on my website. The Big Bird has the electric installation drawn on the CAD plans and comes with a ply wood fuse bottom battery hatch. Both kits are all laser cut and feature tab/slot fuse construction and this means you can almost build the fuse in your lap. The Big Bird is 100' span, a cheap Speed 600 works for moderate climb angle and the kit includes a drawing by Jack Hamilton for installing an Astro Flight 608G for LMR contest work. Some of the guys have started to install 05 motors in the 2m Lil Bird. I have flown a Big Bird with a cheap Master Airscrew geared 05 on a 12" prop. I won an all up last down contest with it performing a 1 hour flight and the notable point is the contest didn't start until 6:30 PM. It is an very good performing airplane and builds easily. See construction photos on my site in the "Assembly Tips" page.
