Yoda EL High-Performance F5K 1.5m

The Yoda EL is a high-performance electric glider designed to excel in F5K competitions while also serving as a versatile sport glider for flying just about anywhere. Despite its lightweight construction, it maintains impressive penetration even against moderate winds. However, with added camber, the Yoda EL slows down beautifully, allowing it to climb effortlessly in the lightest thermals.

Mirroring the exceptional handling of the Yoda DLG, the Yoda EL benefits from generous polyhedral, providing outstanding stability and a well-balanced control response-perfect for both competitive and recreational pilots. Its separate flaps enhance landing precision, enabling crow braking for controlled, ultra-slow approaches. This makes it ideal for flying in small spaces and rough terrain.

Designed for convenience, the two-piece wing and compact fuselage allow the Yoda EL to be packed into a box as small as 90 × 16 × 6 cm, making it an excellent travel companion. The model is specifically designed for the Vladimir's Models F5 PowerNose, which we highly recommend selecting at checkout.

Key Features:

• Full-house wing with separate ailerons and flaps for superior control
• Two-piece wing for easy transport and storage
• Expert-level prefabrication - minimal assembly required
• High-performance power system with an integrated motor-in-spinner drive
• Ultra-light 280g takeoff weight
• Ballastable fuselage for adaptable performance
• Extreme climb rate with a 3S LiPo setup
• Suplied with high quality wing and tail bag set

Whether you're competing in F5K or just looking for a top-tier sport glider, the Yoda EL delivers an unmatched balance of performance, portability, and ease of use.
