The Olympic 650 is the perfect sailplane for the first-time R/C flyer. It is patterned after the Olympic II, sharing its rugged airframe and forgiving flight characteristics, yet is smaller and easier to transport. Prominently featured in the Sailplane and Soaring Manual by Al Doig, this gentle, slow flying airplane is stable enough to fly by itself.
The Olympic 650 is a fast and easy ship to build. The nicely proportioned three piece wing and built-up fuselage help make construction simple, even for those with no previous modeling experience. The kit includes detailed, full size plans and well written building instructions with lots of pictures.
The parts fit exceptionally well and match the professionally laid-out, full size construction plans. The kit includes a complete hardware package with pushrods, control horns, clevises, hinges, etc.
This proven Lee Renaud design performs above that of a simple trainer, having won many two meter contests. The Olympic 650 will stay up in the lightest of lift and is fun for thermal or slope flying. It is unquestionably the best possible aircraft for the beginner, yet it’s great for experienced pilots looking for simple fun.
