From the manufacturer:
The HeliumMG represents our efforts to modernize the vintage motorized glider platform that gave many of us our first taste of powered RC flight. The Helium 2MG is a piece o'cake to build thanks to thoughtful design and interlocking precision laser cut components. This stable, predictable, featherweight (22-26oz Flying weight) glider sports a cavernous fuselage which makes it ideal for outfitting with various photography and FPV gear. Portability and flying site adaptability was a high priority when designing the HeliumMG as such we've designed the HeliumMG with 3 peice wing and given the fuselage a removable horizontal stabilizer to allow it to pack down flat making it an ideal travel plane. Shock mounted landing gear protect the underbelly of the HeliumMG from the ever-present rocks and scrub found at un-improved fields.
Product Features:
* 2 Meter span Rudder, Elevator, Throttle control motor glider with optional Spoiler
* Easy access to cavernous equipment and battery compartments
* Simple interlocking precision laser cut components and rapid assembly with CA glue
* Beginner friendly modified S7055 airfoil keeps speed in check without sacrificing penetration
* Ultralight flying weight assures success even on light lift days.
* Carbon fiber reinforced spar and flat center section build strong and allow the Helium to carry FPV and aerial photography payloads with complete confidence.
* Optional barn door spoiler allows for operation from small fields with confidence.
* Optional rubber-band on wing (cannot be used with spoiler) allows the Helium to function as a primary motor glider trainer.
* Easy to transport 3 piece wing assembles/disassembles in minutes at the field
* Removable horizontal stabilizer allows fuselage to pack flat for transport * Shock mounted, removable landing gear
