DFS Kranich model aeroplane kit, scale 1/12, 1498 mm wingspan, Lasercut wooden parts, SD7032 profile, 645 mm fuselage length, 330 g RTF, RC glider model wooden kit, model aeroplane to build yourself
This aeroplane is a wonderful glider for beautiful hours of flying in the summer twilight (SD7032 profile).
The end result is a decelerating model aeroplane with a guaranteed fun factor.
The DFS Kranich has a filigree design and is suitable for slope flying and motorised towing to a limited extent.
If required, a motor can be installed at the pilot's discretion.
A friend of Tony's has summarised the entire construction and flight operation on his YouTube channel in three video parts.
