Notes from the box:

“In one design, we’ve created the perfect basic to intermediate trainer which can be used to advance your radio control flying skills. The Explorer 2M is an exciting sailplane which will satisfy you desire to soar with the eagles for a long time to come.”

“Beginners need stability and slow landing speeds. The Explorer 2M’s long tail moment produces the extra stability needed for those early training flights. It’s flat bottom airfoil gives the novice R/C pilot slow, gentle, controlled landings. Club fliers who want higher performance will be pleased with the Explorer 2M’s strong spars and stiff D-tube wing structure. The I-beam spar design has hardwood caps that are 1/8″ deep by 1/4″ wide. This wing can stand up to that 12v club winch! Once airborne, the D-tube wing allows fast flutter-free dives.”

“To help the experienced pilot penetrate wind or aggressively search the sky for lift, the Explorer 2M’s wing is designed with the efficient Clark-Y airfoil. This airfoil has a Philips entry leading edge that cuts drag without sacrificing lift. The Explorer 2M’s long tail moment helps the competitive flyer improve their landing scores by smoothing out that all important final approach. The Explorer 2M is carefully built and covered by skilled factory craftsmen using the finest grades of balsa, plywood, hardwood and vinyl film. All hardware, including horns, clevises, pushrods and tow hook, is provided. We make it very easy or you to be out of the workshop and ready to fly in just a couple of hours. Join the quiet revolution with the Global Explorer 2M ARF!”
