Many of us want to fly F5-RES or have fun with a high-performance e-glider for sport flying, but who has time to spend several weeks' worth of evenings putting together a balsa kit? We get it. That's why we set out to do something about that!
The
E-Medina is an almost ready to fly (ARF) F5-RES electric glider, and comes with fully pre-built and covered surfaces so you can enjoy flying the model shortly after receiving the package. To complete the model, you need to glue the carbon boom into the nose, glue the tail-mounting carbon pins into pre-drilled holes, mount the servos and run the pull-string wires.
Created by Armsoar in partnership with Performance Models in Australia, the
E-Medina uses new airfoils purpose-designed for the flight envelope of modern F3L/F5-RES competition flying. The wingtips are specifically optimized for great tip-stalling characteristics and could handle high variations in 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 1806 powertrains perfectly, further minimizing overall drag from the completed model.
