4. Multiplex BK Lentus
The Lentus is the latest development from Multiplex. The model is designed as a club glider with a focus on thermal and slope flying. By installing the optionally available retractable undercarriage, the model can be self-launched in conjunction with a 4S 2600 battery and an 8x6" propeller. As a further option, it is possible to activate the prepared tow release by installing a Hitec HS-65HB servo, despite the built-in electric motor and undercarriage! Thanks to the modern profile design, the model achieves a very wide performance spectrum and allows a dynamic flying style. The 4-flap surfaces enable precise landings (butterfly).

5. Multiplex RR Lentus
The model is designed as a club glider with a focus on thermal and slope flight. The basic RR version of the model is equipped with a powerful ROXXY brushless motor for 3S 2600 batteries and comes standard with 6 Hitec HS-65HB servos for elevator, rudder, ailerons and flaps. By installing the optionally available retractable landing gear, the model is self-launching in conjunction with a 4S 2600 battery and an 8x6" propeller. As a further option, it is possible to activate the prepared tow release by installing a Hitec HS-65HB servo, despite the built-in electric motor and landing gear. Due to the modern airfoil design, the model achieves a very wide performance range and allows a dynamic flying style. The 4 flap surfaces allow pinpoint landings (butterfly).

9. Pichler Swallow Glider 2
Now available in laser-cut version. Good wooden model kits have become rare. The model can be built either as a pure glider or optionally as an electric glider. Prefabricated parts, printed sheets, and other components are made from carefully selected balsa wood, cabin glazing, and string material. A detailed construction plan is included.

10. Amewi Runner V3 Gyro
The Skyrunner has been further improved in its V3 version. Thanks to a 3-axis stabilization system, the model can be safely controlled even by beginners. Impressive maneuvers and even aerobatic figures can be learned in no time. Starting with this model is easy, and the gyro system keeps the plane on course at all times. Just give it some throttle and initiate a gentle climb, and the gyro will immediately provide support, allowing the fun of flying to begin.
The system features a beginner and an advanced mode. In beginner mode, stalling the model is not possible (no loops, etc.). When switched to advanced mode, loops and stalling can be performed without any issues. The flight behavior of the Skyrunner V3 is very forgiving, giving beginners the opportunity to dive into the world of model sports.
A long flight time combined with good gliding characteristics ensures uninterrupted flying fun, and the durable EPP material guarantees the model's longevity. Should the landing be a bit rough, it's not a problem. The material can withstand a lot, the electronics are positioned far back in the fuselage, and the motor is mounted towards the rear. The material can be easily re-glued with, for example, Styrofoam adhesive.
Pro
- Beginner aeroplane
- To glide
- Easy to control
