X-RES Elektro 2m

The X-RES Elektro is a built-up CNC cut balsa and ply kit. It is an electrified versdion of the X-RES glider designed for the new F3-RES 2m Rudder-Elevator-Spoiler glider class popular in Germany and Austria.

The X-RES Elektro is the latest development of Alois Janowetz, the designer of many top performing models. The X-RES Elektro has pleasant flight characteristics and brilliant performance. The model is very agile and extremely easy to fly. The sophisticated design and the brilliant use of weight-optimized materials allows a flying weight of 430g and thus a wing loading of only around 11 g/dm2 (3.7 oz/sq ft) out of the box, giving amazing performance.

The large 2-part spoilers allow almost vertical descents without an increase in speed. The wing separates into three panels and the tailplane is removable making the model very easy to transport.

The CNC cut kit has very simple and robust construction. With the exception of the 6 mm CFRP rods for the wing and the GRP rocker for the moving tailplane only selected and optimized balsa and plywood are used.

All components are bonded with easily available glue and the model’s construction is simple, considering the excellent performance potential. The design allows the use of commercially available and easily obtainable components.

The kit includes a colour plan. See below for a link to an English translation of the X-RES (glider) build manual. For more info about the X-RES see this and this RCGroups build threads.
