The models we have in stock now are all two-piece wing which make them very easy to store and transport, and all four servos mounted in the fuselage – no wing mounted servos as shown in some of the now outdated photos.
The spread carbon over Rohacell wing is very nicely made, with a high gloss finish and attractive colour schemes. A very good detail is that the aileron servos are mounted in the wing, giving extra space in the fuselage and simplifying the aileron linkage. Low drag servo covers perfectly cover the servo openings.
The E-Kite is supplied with a complete accessory pack including control horns, pull-cable, torque springs, pushrods and wing mounting screws. A good build manual can be downloaded from here.
