‘Olympic 650' Laser-cut Part Kit

The Olympic 650 is a high-performance sailplane featuring easy assembly and convenient size. The design was developed with the novice in mind, with a simple-to-build and rugged structure and forgiving characteristics. The Olympic 650 is quite stable and is recommended for those with no experience with R/C models. This was kitted by Airtronics - the plan was also available from Radio Control Modeler in the US.
