Due to a strong interest in electric flight this page will contain articles and links on the subject of electric flight. Currently this consists mainly of reviews of the models which member of the club have successfully flown.

Graupner Chip (more detail)	Speed 600 8.4V 8 * 2000 SCR cells	pic?	This model was my first ever electric model - it is a testament to its strength that it is still alive and well - now equipped for night-flying.
The “Graupner Spark” (click for detailed report)	Speed 480 Race 8 * 800 AR		This model suffered many set backs. Click on the article to see how not to go about electric models.
Graupner Spark (2)	Aveox 1114/4Y 70-6-18 controller 10 * 800 AR cells		My second Spark this one has glassed wings which are incredibly stiff. This model can almost hold its own in F5D in the U.K. providing the batteries are working 100 %.
Mini Viper	Speed 400 6V 7 * 500 AR cells		I have been experimenting with single blade props on this model. Initial results show that in addition to increased flight times the probability of breaking a propeller on landing is reduced by much more than the expected 50%.
Avionik's F5D (D)	Lehner 2510/7, Kontronics controller. 7 * 2400 matched/zapped A.U.W		This Russian made model is typical of this years F5D pylon racers. Extremely fast but results so far have been disappointing due to pitch trim changes.
Avionik's F5D (C)	KBM 42-60 7 * 2000 SCR		This model developed severe wing flutter on the second flight which caused loss of aileron control.
FlutterBug	Speed 400 6V 7 * 700AE cells		Very good performance for such a simple model. Rolls and sustained inverted flight are possible - perhaps the control movements are a little extreme!
