The new SR X70 micro electric sailplane is a simple aircraft to build and fly. It can be built as either a hand toss sailplane or you can add electric power. It can even be built to include sub-micro R/C systems. It's the perfect choice for your first electric indoor/outdoor aircraft!

In spite of the X70’s advanced looks, it is a very easy aircraft to build. All you’ll need are some simple modeling tools and a power system.

The X70 has a span of 26" and a wing area of 70 square inches. It weighs about 1/2 ounce without an electric power system and about 1.3 ounces ready to go with motor, battery pack and charging system in place. That means that an electric powered version of the X70 has a wing loading of about 2.6 ounces per square foot!

The X70 is the first of SR's MicroLaser™ cut kits and it only takes about an hour to get one flying. Careful engineering and MicroLaser™ cut jigs and fixtures assure you a perfect fit and fast building.The balsa is triple sorted and selected and the kit even includes a six page instruction manual.
