Electric Powered EPP (foam) beginners sailplane
Hi!
I’m looking for an electric powered EPP (foam) beginners sailplane. It seems like all the EPP/foamies I’ve found are all pure gliders. Any pointers/links would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin, There are no powered EPP sailplanes that I know of. People usually modify an existing plane by powering it up. Assuming you are an absolute newbie, your best bet is find an instructor and get on a buddy box; also consider using a flight simulator, it will develop your reflexes in a very short period of time. If you decide to power an existing sailplane, get a polyhedral wing and get good at flying it; then move up to an aileron set-up. Good Luck.
