My 3.2m wingspan Pulsar 3200 Open Electric Glider snapped by Owen Hedger at the Sailplane Expo held at Armidale in January this year.

The motor in this glider is the new Plettenberg HP-220/30/A2 P4 inner-runner with a 7:1 gearbox - swings an 18x10" prop from a Hyperion LVZ-3200/4S LiPo pack - a good combination for open glider contests - I am now trying the new LG335 packs - two 1600 mAh in series to give 4S.

For beginners, the MPX EasyStar and Easy Electric Glider are recommended.
