X-Dream Elekro 2m

The X-Dream Elektro is a built-up laser cut balsa and ply kit designed for the new F5-RES electric 2m Rudder-Elevator-Spoiler glider class first popularised in Germany and Austria, but now flown worldwide.

The X-Dream Elektro is the latest development of Alois Janowetz, the designer of the X-RES and X-Dream. The new X-Dream Elektro is a dedicated electric version and performs at the top level.

The X-Dream Elektro has well harmonised flight characteristics and amazing performance. Despite the compettion-optimised design the model is agile and extremely easy to fly. The simple yet strong design and the brilliant use of weight-optimized materials allows a flying weight as low as 425 g and thus a wing loading of only 12 g/dm2 (3.9 oz/sq ft), resulting in very low sink rates.

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 laser cut kit has very simple and robust construction. Apart from the 6 mm carbon fibre wing joiners and the CF all moving tailplane mount the model is built from selected and optimized laser cut balsa and plywood. The model can be built very quickly using cyanoacrylate superglue, white glue or 5-minute epoxy. Oralight covering is recommended. An adjustable tow hook is standard and is included in the kit, as are the servo linkages. The kit includes a colour plan and comprehensive instructions, in German only.
