About this kit
Astrid E is a lightweight balsa-and-plywood RC glider designed for calm, predictable thermal flying. The structural wing uses a carbon spar and the AG35–38 airfoil; the typical ready-to-fly weight is around 400–450 g when built with lightweight covering.
This F5J version is prepared for a light electric setup and uses the aluminium motor mount for the Hyperflight 1806 motor with a 25 mm spinner.

- Laser-cut balsa wood elements
- Laser-cut plywood elements
- 3D-printed elements
