X-Dream Elekro 2m
Description
The X-Dream Elektro is the latest development of Alois Janowetz, the designer of the X-RES and X-Dream. The new X-Dream Elektro is a dedicated electric version and performs at the top level.
The X-Dream Elektro has well harmonised flight characteristics and amazing performance. Despite the compettion-optimised design the model is agile and extremely easy to fly. The simple yet strong design and the brilliant use of weight-optimized materials allows a flying weight as low as 425 g and thus a wing loading of only 12 g/dm2 (3.9 oz/sq ft), resulting in very low sink rates.
The large 2-part spoilers allow almost vertical descents without an increase in speed. The wing separates into three panels and the tailplane is removable making the model very easy to transport.
The laser cut kit has very simple and robust construction. Apart from the 6 mm carbon fibre wing joiners and the CF all moving tailplane mount the model is built from selected and optimized laser cut balsa and plywood. The model can be built very quickly using cyanoacrylate superglue, white glue or 5-minute epoxy. Oralight covering is recommended. An adjustable tow hook is standard and is included in the kit, as are the servo linkages. The kit includes a colour plan and comprehensive instructions, in German only.

I ordered this kit and it arrived in 4 days here in the Rocky Mountains. Great packing and service as usual. I am so grateful to have a company available that still values customers and provides great customer service. I am building this for a club member that doesn't like to build and so far, this kit is a breeze to assemble and should be an excellent replacement for his X-RES...which has seen better days.
Thanks again,
Mike
The built model is easy to fly and the still air performance is good, its second flight when some lift was about was excellent brought it down after 25 minutes.
the only downside when building is the instructions and drawing are not the best.
Having said that it can’t be that bad this is my second kit.
