Alula R/C Side-Arm-Launch Glider

The original forward-swept "fly anywhere" R/C glider! This organic design is a light and buoyant flier. The unique and refined bird-inspired wing design facilitates the sidearm launch method and maintains maneuverability, even at very low airspeeds.

Molded EPO hybrid foam airframe provides a stiff and lightweight structure and makes assembly a snap. We call this our "urban glider", due to its ability to soar in the most unconventional of locations. No high-starts, motors, or spinning propellors required... just fling and fly. Its as close to an R/C boomerang as it gets!

Features:
  • Durable, quality molded EPO* foam airframe manufactured in the USA! Ensures fast, consistent, and easy assembly. No covering material required. *EPO is an acronym for Expanded Polyolefin. Generally EPO foams are a hybrid foam blend of polystyrene and polyethylene.
  • Thermo-formed belly skid for landing protection.
  • Quick-assembly kit can be built in one evening with little glue. Say goodbye to the taping blues!
  • Modular airframe can be built as one piece for maximum durability or collapsible with our original magnet lock system for easy travel and storage.
  • Integrally molded control surfaces for minimum weight and building ease.
  • New wing design with fully encapsulated carbon-fiber joiner rod and easy-install carbon-fiber wing spars.
  • Further refined design
  • Complete hardware package includes ultra-light linkages, carbon-fiber pushrods, decals, and more!
  • Detailed construction manual (of course, if you've built a few of these, you may not even need it!)
