	This is a 2-Meter Class Spirit Elite Sailplane from Great Planes. The Elite Makes A Fine First Sailplane For Experienced R/C Pilots Wanting Casual Soaring Or Even Competition Flying. Versatility and Performance with Exceptional Speed and Air Penetration. COMMENTS: The wing tips have close to 1 degree washout. The primary purpose of this is to match the zero lift angle of attack coefficients of the two different airfoils. This will give the Elite the lowest amount of drag on the wing as a whole. The tabs on the bottom of the ribs allow you to pin or weight the structure to your table while you install the top wing sheeting and allows you to "build in" the correct amount of washout. An Electric motor should work well on the front. Build the nose similar to the Spectra and you will be fine. The airframe is strong enough to handle the extra weight without any mods.   The Goldfire motor package is a great choice for this aircraft.
