Skywalker XL Electric Carbon Strong
The Skywalker XL, Electric is a five-meter high performance "big brother" to the Skywalker (3.8m). A one-meter center section added to the wing accomplishes this modification. It also features a new molded C/F fuselage. The Skywalker XL was developed primarily to meet the specifications and class performance needs of Sport Class GPS Triangle racing, an electric power event. Stock from the box, it is a high performance, unlimited class AMA thermal duration or F3J sailplane.
