Overview:
The Ele Bee (short for Electric Bee) is unique among all of the flying wings on the market. One of the unique features of the Ele Bee is that it is molded from all EPP foam. EPP foam is what makes the plane bulletproof and is actually designed for full contact combat! If the Ele Bee hits something it just bounces off, snaps back and is ready to fly again!
Not only is the plane all EPP, it is also injected EPP—not hot-wire cut from a block of foam. The Ele Bee is the only molded EPP flying wing on the market. With the wing being all molded, it does not require any spray adhesive to build the kit; no glue is necessary at all!
Hot wired wings go through a chemical change that requires you to coat the wing with glue prior to taping—this is not necessary with a molded wing.
Another unique feature is that the servo, receiver and battery compartments are already molded into the bottom of the wing. This makes construction very simple, eliminating any cutting and also helps to lower the CG, contributing to better flight behavior. One other nice feature of the equipment being in the bottom is that the top surface stays nice and smooth with only the control horns sticking up. Even the spar is internal to the wing, eliminating any cutting and keeping the airfoil smooth.
Ele Bee kits are very complete and contain pre shaped balsa airfoil ailerons, 2 rolls of colored tape and the necessary fiber tape. A high performance speed 400 motor and coroplast wing tips and access panel covers. Even the pushrods are already bent to the proper length. No other kit is this complete, Just add your radio and electronics and you are ready to fly.

Windrider Aviation was established with the goal to innovate and develop new concepts for radio control gliders. The parent company of Windrider is the famous Lup Shun Metal & Plastic Ware Factory in HK. They manufacture foam and plastic toys and sell all over the world and are thus well equipped to produce cool new concepts in high volume.
The founder of this company has participated in radio control for decades and through his experience, has designed a new thinner airfoil for the Bee that has overcome most of the weakness of existing flying wings. Windrider is investing a tremendous amount of funding into R&D for more designs.
