Default ARF

Where can I find a good 70 to 80", two piece wing, electric, folding prop sail plane ARF? Would prefer it came with motor and speed control.

Multiplex Easy Glider Electric. The RR (receiver ready) comes with servos already installed. It's precisely what you're asking for.

Thanks

I found the Easy in Tower add. Although this is the size I am looking for it sounds like it is a foam wing and fuse which isn't to my liking. I am seeking fiberglass fuse and build up wing....may be foam wing if I must.

I havent seen one fly either all ive been flying is dlg's would be kinda nice to have an electric one they didnt look to bad, heck if its underpowered im sure ive got and extra motor laying around that would work, might have to buy one just to see if it is.

I saw the new Accent to day at the hobby shop. It all there but for the battery rec. It has all you asks for and is almost ready to go. The only draw-back is the wing span is a little short. I had the early one and needed to be modified to make fly, all that was corrected in this one.
