Classic RC Planes

Eagle 2 engine running

The Electra is a 2 meters sailplane motorized by an electric motor. This Carl Goldberg's design is from the golden era of balsa airplane models, 70's to early 90's I've made some mods, added one wheel under the belly for landing and re-made the canopy with a more bubbly shape and a stronger material than the original. And there she goes, flying elegantly, very easy going...
