MPX Cularis 2.6m glider kit

The Cularis is a high-performance electric glider of 2.6m wingspan with ailerons and flaps. You can try a full-house set-up with crow braking for landing (flaps down, ailerons up). With an adequate power plant you can either fly like a hot dog, or you can go thermal soaring. The carbon spar stiffens the wing to such an extent that aerobatics like a hotliner are possible. If you click on the link below, which takes you to the Multiplex web site, you can see a video of the Cularis going through its paces.

So - here you have an aircraft with a wide speed range, big enough to be a smooth thermal machine, and you know that it will not break easily because of the Elapor foam construction.

The model you see in the video has a standard brushless power system like those recommended in the box to the right - you do not need a specialist set-up to obtain high performance.
