Electric Version of the Soaring Icon

Introduced as a kit in 1981, the Bird of Time has proven to be timeless. The easy-to-assemble ARF version joined the original kit so that all sailplane enthusiasts could enjoy its relaxing, inspiring flight with less building time. Now this electric-powered Bird of Time EP ARF offers even more convenience, reaching soaring altitude in seconds — no hi-start, tow plane or large launch area needed.

Strong and convenient EP power.
Strong wood and fiberglass construction.
3-piece wing for easy transportation and storage.
Removable full-flying stabilizer.
Superior thermal and duration soaring.
Beautiful, easy-to-see MonoKote trim scheme.

The Bird of Time EP ARF includes a low-drag folding prop, spinner and prop adapter. With the recommended motor, one full battery charge can power many aggressive climbs to altitude.

A removable hatch in the Bird of Time EP ARF fuselage allows quick LiPo battery pack changes between flights.

Compared to smaller sailplanes, the 3-meter Bird of Time EP ARF flies well in breezy conditions and remains easy to see at high altitudes.
