Vladimir's Models ELF Assembly Manual

Elf Manual 2f 20/08/2014

ELF - a low weight mosquito class 1m span discus launched glider.
The ELF allows the pilot to soar in small places as never before.

ELF’s high tech construction makes the model stronger and lighter.

High prefabrication allows the model to be assembled in one evening.

Ready to fly weight of

only grams!

The ELF gives a lot of fun in a small package!

HyperFlight Notes

If you don’t want to use the SmartLipo shown in this

manual we have sourced some alternative batteries.

Don’t worry about a switch, just plug in the battery

when flying.
If using 2.4GHz RC use the HyperLipo 2S 175 mAh

LiPo battery and SD100 servos. No voltage regulator
is required because all modern receivers and these
servos can work fine on this voltage (8.4V). This will
give over 2.5hrs RC duration on one charge.

If using 35MHz RC use the Losi 150 NiMH battery,

and any suitable servos, though we would highly
recommend the SD100 - the only servo with the good
centring required by this high performance model. This
will give about 2hrs duration.

(Dependent upon R/C, battery and construction.)
