You can take your first flight the same day you open the box. The fiberglass fuselage, wing tips, wheel pants, and cowl come expertly painted, and the built-up wood wing and tail have film covering already applied. |
Great Planes selected fiberglass as the best material for the fuselage, wing tips, cowl, and wheel pants - due to its low weight, strength, and ability to recreate the full-size Lancair ES aircraft's smooth contours. |
Like the full-size Lancair ES, this electric model has fixed landing gear in a tricycle configuration that offers the option of a steerable nose wheel for greater ground control. White fiberglass wheel pants provide a crowning touch of detail. |
For a clean installation, the gearbox mounts in front of the firewall. The motor bolts in behind it. Cooling holes in the fuselage supply ventilation. |
