TopModel Indian V

The Indian is a fun and versatile electric glider that can fit in small car.

Upon opening the box that contained the Indian, I was once again pleasantly surprised to see TopModels very good craftsmanship and build quality. All of the parts are individually wrapped or bagged; airframe parts, screws, control linkages to the firewall, the kit is beautifully packed and very complete! 

The Indian V is an excellent electric thermal ship that features a thin wing and a low, all up weight. The traditionally built up, 2 piece, D-tube balsa wing does the heavy lifting while the V-Tail is a built up balsa construction with a carbon spar and a carbon leading edge. 

 The MH32 series airfoils allow the Indian to float around in a thermal yet, slip briskly through the sink when searching for the next source of lift.
