WP ELEKTRO TAXI III Graupner 4661.E The ELEKTRO TAXI III is a further development of the proven TAXI III. In designing the model we wished to emphasise a low take-off weight, and this is reflected in the TAXI´s flight performance and handling. The forgiving flying characteristics make the ELEKTRO TAXI III the ideal model for the enthusiast moving up from rudder/elevator to “full-house” models, as it is certainly capable of simple aerobatics. The largewing area and
carefully selected wing section give the model very sweet-natured and neutral flying characteristics. For easier taxiing and take-off handling the nosewheel is coupled with the rudder. The construction of the model is primarily of balsa wood, strengthened at highly stressed areas with plywood or spruce reinforcements. The fin and tailplane are 6 mm sheet balsa items. The fuselage, wing (already centre-joined), tailplane and fin are already built and film-covered as supplied. To complete the model all you have to do is glue the tailplane to the fuselage, install the motor mount, motor and undercarriage, and fit the radio control system and linkages. The kit includes a set of decal sheets, helping you to finish the model as shown in the picture very quickly. To fly the model all you need is a basic 4-function RC system.
