The Electra Pro

A high performance sailplane designed from the start for electric flight. The fuselage has built in air cooling vents to evacuate the heat generated by the motor and batteries. The lightness of the airframe combined with a modern profile equipped with flaps give surprisingly good flight characteristics.

The Thermik Dream

High performance electric sailplane.

Very elegant high performance electric sailplane. Superb wing, designed with S7012 airfoil and flaps, to take the best advantage from the thermals and for a strong braking effect (coupled with ailerons) when landing. Powered with a brushless motor and an 8 cell pack, this sailplane climbs with authority (45° path with the selected brushless motor). The flight duration is 30 minutes nearly every time!
