Pro Tips for Your Glider Build:

For a 650g dry airframe, the recommended 2212 1100KV motor paired with a 3S 1300mAh battery and folding prop provides excellent climb performance, allowing you to quickly catch thermals and enjoy long soaring sessions. The traditional T-tail design offers superior rudder authority and stability during slow flight.
