GPMA0535 GP SPIRIT ELITE 2-METER SL/P

Home > AIRCRAFT > LIST BY MANUFACTURER > GREAT PLANES >

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.
