Glider
Alpha 27 - Multiplex
The alpha 27 is the ideal glider for the typical weekend pilot and in particular for modeller's who wish to move on from rudder/elevator to "full-house" control. It is controlled by ailerons, elevator and rudder, and spoilers can easily be fitted at any time. The model is easy to control on a bungee or winch launch, and also works well with a piggyback or aero-tow system. At the slope the alpha 27 cuts a fine figure even in poor lift.
The product is typical of Multiplex aircraft, a pleasure to build and fly.
