Hegi Bergfalke w/ Cox Medallion .09 power pod


I got this Bergfalke already built, from a guy I knew from my old glider club days. He told me that some old guy named Wiley built it from the Hegi kit ten years ago, but it hadn't flown since. I decided it needed a new owner and a new life, with a fresh make-over and a power pod for launching to height without the need for a hi-start. Half-A power pods are a nostalgia thing for me, as a lot of my gliders way back in my youth featured them for getting up to thermal height, and this old glider seemed like a perfect candidate. The Cox .09 hauls it up there at a leisurely pace. I can't wait for the thermals to come back this spring... the Bergfalke will be ready! 90" span, 57oz AUW, R/E radio-assist with two Futaba S148 servos and a 1100mah Nimh battery.
