About this Plan

Electra-Lite. Radio control electric-powered sailplane model.

Later also kitted by Midnite Models.

The key to the Electra Lite's success has been its efficient lightweight structure. Throughout the construction the secret is making it LIGHT and Straight. Don't be tempted to add any additional structure. The design has been thoroughly tested and is more than adequately strong as is.

The prototype Electra Lites were all built using cyancacrylate glues (Hot Stuff, Zap, etc.) on nearly all joints. Five minute epoxy is used on some high stress areas which are called out on the plans. If you wish, white glues such as Tite Bond can be substituted for the epoxy, but re-member to use these heavy adhesives sparingly. The instruction sequence is laid out for ease in construction, You can circle the step number to keep track of where you are. Good luck, and remember: KEEP IT LIGHT!
