Electric ARF Airplanes and Gliders

This category brings together electric almost-ready-to-fly airplanes and gliders that need only final assembly and your own radio and power gear before flying. The selection spans small park-style models and slope soarers suited to a range of pilots.

Electric ARF Airplanes

The Green RC Models USA Gee Bee Y is offered as a 40 inch electric ARF, modeling the stubby lines of the classic racer, while the GWS Pico Stick-S electric ARF is a lightweight, easygoing airframe of the kind often chosen for early electric flying.

Gliders and Soarers

For unpowered flying, the Merlin Sailplane and the GWS Pico Tiger Moth slope glider are built for lift-driven flight from a hill or gentle slope, giving pilots a quiet alternative to powered models. Because these airframes arrive largely built, most of the remaining work is fitting servos, a receiver, and a power system rather than framing the structure from scratch.

Review the models listed below to find an electric airframe or glider that suits your flying site.
