Hey Guys,

Just completed my first kit build and covering... The plane is a Carl Goldberg Electra Electric Sailplane. I have not started to install the motor yet since I am now thinking that I can convert this to brushless fairly easily. I don't have the radio yet, but getting a Futaba FAAST 2.4 6ch next weekend. So the control surfaces are not glued into place yet. I think she turned out pretty good for a first build and covering job. I probably didn't go with the best colors for a first plane, but I'm happy with it.

Let's see your first covering jobs!

Looks like a greast job to me.

Very nice, I think you got it covered! [sm=lol.gif] ( Bad Joke) Really, you did a fantastic job!

WOW!! The CG Electra kit was my first airplane! You did a MUCH better job covering than I did. [sm=thumbs_up.gif] Mine looked like an oversized prune!!

Although it only got worse since I taught myself how to fly (repaired dozens of times) and used that huge stock boat anchor motor! []

You did a fantastic job building and covering that beauty [sm=thumbup.gif]

Here is my 1st build and covering job. It is a Gentle Lady covered in Coverite fabric, with a Eflite 400 740KV electric added for powering it into the air and a Hitec Laser4 for control.

I love that I converted this glider to electric, you can fly over and over again with one launch. I only need to find the right folding prop for it, right now it has a traditional 8" electric prop on it but I want a folding.

Again, very nice glider there, wish mine came out that smooth-looking.

Folding prop? Not hard to find

How do you get multiple flights from just one launch? Nobody else can. We need a seperate launch for each flight.

Really nice job. I have close to the same scheme on one of my planes . I put a 1/2inch yellow stripe on the leading edge of the wing. Really helped the plane stand out when it`s coming at you.

Maybe I didn't quite mean it the way it sounded. What I meant is when it starts to drift lower you turn the power back on instead of landing, bring it back to drifting height again, and continue to glide.
