Finishing Goldberg Electra glider

Getting close to finishing my Electra. I joined the Fellowship of Christian Modelers last week and was inspired to use the Jesus Fish (Ichthus).

The overall scheme was inspired by Harley Michaelis’ Genie Big Smoothie. Harley is a friend who is now 99 and designed competition sailplanes for years.

My favorite design part of the Electra was the hidden elevator control port. My least favorite was trying to get the CG right given the light weight of today’s motors and lipos. I moved the two 9g Servos up to the firewall and used Sullivan Gold-N-Rods the length of the fuselage. 8X4 folding prop, 2012 Motor, 30A ESC and Spectrum AR410 Rx.
