West Wings Electric Glider Kits

West Wings Electric Glider Kits

West Wings produces balsa and ply flying model kits, and this category covers their electric-powered glider offerings. Kits like these ask the builder to assemble the airframe from printed and die-cut parts before fitting a motor, radio gear, and battery, which is part of the appeal for modelers who enjoy the workshop side of the hobby as much as the flying.

Fournier RF4

The West Wings Fournier RF4 kit models a well-known European motor glider, built here as an electric powered glider. Its long, slender wing is typical of the soaring designs that reward smooth, unhurried flying and gentle thermal hunting.

An electric glider kit is a good match for a pilot moving from ready-to-fly models toward building, since the finished airplane flies at a relaxed pace that suits open fields and calm mornings.
