Airtronics Aquila Remote Control Sailplane

Description

Airtronics Aquila Remote Control Sailplane with 99" wingspan. This model was purchased in late 1975 and built the winter of 1975/76. The build process was done according to plans and covered with Monocoat film. It was flown many times for a few year and then became a model hanging in my son's bedroom. It has been in storage for the last 20 years. A few of the tail boom seems seem to be cracking and there are a few spots where the film has separated from the airfoil. There is also one small hole at the bottom midpoint of the left wing Monocoat. The fuselage may need to be repainted. It was an excellent sailplane in the day and still one of the great vintage sailplane models. I have also been fortunate to be able to fly a new ASK21 sailplane as well as the Stemme S10 and S12. My interest in sailplanes was ignited by this RC model and finally culminated with flying the real thing. They are incredible!!
