Great Planes Bird of Time glider ARF

Currently out of stock

Product details

Due to its design from the 70s, the Bird of Time has found many enthusiastic supporters. The model is offered in two different versions: as a classic kit made of balsa wood and as an ARF version with a GRP fuselage and finished, MONOKOTE covered wings in ribbed construction. Both variants are characterized by their excellent flight characteristics. The transport of the ARF version is no problem at all due to the three-part wing (kit: two-part wing). The model is controlled by two axes and reacts quickly and precisely to every control command. Due to the large wingspan and the low wing loading, extended flights are possible even with low updrafts.

  • Light and robust wooden construction with GFK hull (ARF only)

  • Excellent thermal properties
