The Electra ARF sailplane was designed to be a gentle trainer for the beginning R/C modeler, yet possess an electric motor to so
that it can be flown almost any where. Electra ARF is a very efficient machine, she reacts quickly to rising air ( called lift, or
thermals) so that long flight times are easily achieved. Electra ARF can circle very tightly without falling off so stay in the ther-
mal. . The Electra ARF has good penetration into the wind and can really “cruise” when desired. Before starting to build, read
through these instructions and familiarize yourself with this booklet.

If this is your first electric plane, then you will need make a decision. Do you want to turn on the motor and fly till the bat-
tery runs out of power (2 channel radio required)? Or do you want to use an electric speed control that will let you stop and
start the electric motor when you want too (3 to 4 channel radio required). Both methods are included in this booklet. You
will need to do some soldering of wires but the Electra ARF will perform great either way you build it.
