It's a real challenge and the best entertainment for winter evenings.

You can build the model from a professional building kit that contains all the parts you'll need.

The kit is designed so that anyone, anywhere, can assemble the plane without any modeling experience or advanced workshop equipment.

The R-26s "Góbé" is the most popular glider trainer in Hungary. For 5 decades, everybody had their first flights in one of these. Generations of pilots learned to fly on these. This glider was designed by Rubik Ernő Senior, who was the father of the inventor of the famous "Rubik's cube". He is the most successful airplane designer in Hungary. He designed 28 different gliders and 5 powered aircraft. He had his own factory, where he manufactured these. This 1:7 scale model was designed by Pásztor Gábor in 2020. The model has a lot of scale detail, and it flies just as great as the original. It has a very nice glide slope and behaves very predictable, like a real trainer!

We have made two prototypes of the "Góbé" model.

The first is a traditional glider version.
It has a tow hook in the nose, and a "Járdán"-style high start hook under its center of gravity.

The second prototype was made with a brushless motor, a 20A ESC and a 2200mAh battery in the nose. With this setup, the take-offs are very easy, you can gain altitude pretty fast, but also efficiency is great. One battery can last almost a day! Very predictable, and good performance model, just like the real one.

All models are made with super scale cockpits. The seats are removable, and are very similar to the original lightweight aluminium structure. It also has an accurate instrument panel and a movable yoke.

The model has suspension landing gear like the original, wich helps with harder landings. The tailskid is also springy, and is covered with artificial leather, which makes it look very scale.

You can order with optional air-brakes too. The construction of these is exactly the same as the original air-brakes on the Góbé. They open up and down simultaneously, and can be built retrofitted in the model after it is complete.

The wings and tail surfaces are made with traditional wooden construction. We have designed a system, where you can build these yourself quickly, easily and very precisely. We made a lot of (1000) pictures of the build process, which you will get on a DVD.

The fuselage is made of fiberglass. This is coloured yellow in the material itself, you just have to paint the gray canvas parts. You can choose your tail number according to your preference, which you will get as a sticker set.

You will get covering material in the box, so you don't have to worry about that. We can also help you with the painting and finishing of the model, we have the exact RAL numbers for the colours.
