Alpha 27 Electric - Multiplex
This is an excellent general-purpose model of the type preferred by many club pilots. Its outstanding features are its versatility, impressive performance and - above all - its straightforward handling in the air. It also offers a favorable price: performance ratio, making this electric glider a highly attractive proposition. The model is controlled using ailerons, rudder, elevator and motor speed, and is prepared for the installation of spoilers. The electric power system included in the kit combined with the recommended flight battery gives the model the ability to climb to more than 100m altitude 3 or 4 times per flight. From this altitude you stand every chance of completing some wonderful extended gliding flights.
The product is typical of Multiplex aircraft, a pleasure to build and fly.
