BLANIK ARF SILVER ELECTRO foil covered

Enjoy soaring with a semi-scale model of a well-known sailplane designed for electric power. Elegant looks are complemented by a lightweight, durable airframe and several attractive colour schemes. Full-colour printing across all major components gives the model a distinctive appearance, both on the ground and in the air.

The model is part of Hacker’s SKG series (Simple Known Gliders). Its expanded polypropylene (EPP) construction is lightweight, strong and flexible, contributing to excellent flight characteristics while helping the model withstand minor crashes.

Electric power takes you to altitude without a tow plane or a suitable slope. Once you have climbed, simply switch off the motor and enjoy relaxed soaring or searching for thermals. Whenever you need to regain altitude, motor power is at your fingertips. The model combines the charm of unpowered flight with the convenience and greater independence of electric power.
