The Electric Sparky
Electric Sparky

Laser Cut balsa and plywood parts ( in stock ) $ 39.95

Full kit now available $ 69.95
includes pre shaped landing gear, all laser cut parts,
all hard wood and balsawood parts.
Wheels and wind screen not included.

The kit is Don Srull's Electric Sparky construction article and plan as it appeared in the July 1983 issue of Model Aviation magazine. Wing span is 64" and Don powered his with a .05 geared electric motor. Order plan 414, Model Aviation plan Service includes construction article. Today, we have the choice of much lighter weight motors and batteries that will allow s Don's design to really perform well.

Approximately 460 sq in wing area and today's powerful but much lighter weight geared Sp 400 motors should make this a true joy to build and fly. It will be an eye catcher at your flying area and with a relatively light wing loading, very easy to fly and I'm betting it will make a very good Park Flyer to enjoy thermal flying.

The motor mount parts are laser cut according to Don's plan for the .o5, so some modifications will be needed to mount a geared speed 400. I may cover mine with tissue and dope, Micafilm or a light weight low heat shrink plastic covering.

Enjoy........
