Many of us want to fly F5-RES competitions or have fun with a high-performance 2-meter electric glider for sport flying, but who really has time to spend two weeks' worth of evenings putting together a balsa kit nowadays? We get it. That's why we set out to do something about that!
The receiver-ready E-Medina is an F5-RES/F5L electric glider and comes fully built so you can enjoy flying the model shortly after receiving the package. To complete the model, you only need to install the receiver and complete the basic setup.
Created in partnership with Performance Models in Australia, the E-Medina uses new airfoils purpose-designed for the flight envelope of modern F3/F5-RES competition flying. The wingtips are specifically optimized for great tip-stalling characteristics and could handle high variations in the angle of attack. The result? A glider that turns tighter and more efficiently than similar designs, perfect for low-level thermal flying
The properly-sized and removable V-tail is designed for control and great low-speed handling, crucial during soft thermals and the landing phase. And of course, the V-tail not only looks good but helps minimize the overall drag of the E-Medina for better L/D in all aspects of the flight envelope.
The fuselage is minimalistic but fits our ArmSoar 1806 powertrains perfectly, further minimizing overall drag from the completed model.
