The inspiration for this workshop has roots going back thirty-five years.
In the first year after the EMFSO formed, members flew electric gliders
powered by Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries and brushed DC motors.
Today, some of the same models continue to fly with modern Lithium
Polymer (LiPo) batteries and three phase brushless motors.



Tony explained his classic Goldberg Electra in detail.




The Electra was originally powered with a brushed 550 DC motor.




A Graupner 9-5 folding propeller.




David talked about the features of his E-flite Radian XL 2.6 m.




The Radian is equipped with spoilers.




As part of the "In the Workshop" segment, Clair used an ABS cowl from a Citabria Pro.




A repair to a crack was plastic welded with a portable DC Weller soldering iron.
