Well we have had the first successful flight of a converted Ventus glider to electric power, using a Multiplex power set designed for the Cularis. Works great has loads of power and all from a 2000mah 3cell lipo. The lipo and esc sit on a plate that sits above the servos, this allows for an almost perfect balance without the need for masses of lead.

New - Wind 50 E from Sebart

Just found this picture of the latest Sebart model, a rather smart biplane !
The DG808S is FlyFly's largest ever scale glider with a massive wingspan of 4m! (£269.99 )
A
beautiful model that really captures the lines and grace of the
fullsize. Not only that, the HQ2512 wing section gives the kind of
efficient flight performance that you would expect and those sexy wing
tips add great low speed stability as well as reduced drag.
Not
a model for the beginner, but any average pilot would find her simple
to master. At home on both the slope or from flat fields by the simple
addition of a towhook.
Construction follows the standard FlyFly
concept of a lightweight GRP moulded fuselage and balsa/ply wings and
tail covered in a durable heatshrink film. A wheel is already factory
installed in the scale position as well.
See the video below plus some others on the video page and a link to the glider kits they do, from 1/4 scale upwards, there a link to each glider they produce with great detail pics of the construction all are superb quality. http://www.paritech.de/modellbaueng/uebmodellbau.php
