Sugar Glider F5K 1m

We are very pleased to have the amazing Sugar Glider F5K. The Sugar Glider is an easy to build ultralight electric glider that thermals with ease, making it an excellent beginner's model. The brainchild of Sangyun Lee, who has been promoting it on Instagram so effectively that it has built a worldwide following. Taking off where the Elf Pro El stopped, the Sugar Glider is a great small thermal soarer, but is also a fun model to sport fly on a calm day.

The model is easily built from laser cut balsa with a carbon tailboom and wing spars. The complete kit includes an excellent manual.

A powertrain with a specially designed folding spinner and prop assembly and motor is available and highly recommended.

Please look at this great Sugar Glider Construction YouTube Playlist and here for build info. Unless the bundle is selected at checkout the RC, motor and prop are not included. We recommended Oralight and Feather Cover covering film for this model.
