This a plank wing, which was initially a SAL (side arm launch) glider then converted to a powered glider.

The airfoil is PW1211. The wing is hotwired out of high density EPS. Fuselage is a 3 mm CF rod .. with some scrap balsa glued onto it to in front to act as the place to attach the RX and the battery.

In the DLG the battery was 1S, it was plugged straight into the Rx.
