REDY First is an entry-level glider/motor-powered glider for relaxed “Sunday“ flying, enjoyed by newcomers and skilled pilots as well. REDY First kit is a great thing for anybody who wants to build his models all by himself in the old-fashioned way of balsa, plywood and hardwood sticks. The building is easy and goes forward quite nicely; you can choose whether to build a glider or an electric-powered glider. REDY First maybe is not an ideal very first model for a newcomer without any previous experience, but if you have built at least “anything of balsa and sticks”, you should not have any problems.

Designed and manufactured in the Czech Republic.

This builder’s kit of an RC glider/electric powered glider is a perfect project for a modeller wanting to build a really good model for sporty and “Sunday“ flying. The well-thought-out design with CNC-cut interlocking parts fitting together like pieces of a puzzle makes the building a breeze.

The fuselage is a simple „box“ of balsa sides, top and bottom sheets and plywood formers and braces. The rudder and servos are located under the wing; the ESC, receiver and battery have their dedicated place in the “cockpit” under the removable canopy hatch with a magnetic lock. The plywood firewall for the electric version as well as the tow hook for the bungee launch are also included in the kit.

The one-piece wing sports a flat-bottomed wing section, making the build very easy. It is of a classic design with CNC-cut balsa ribs, a hardwood stick main spar with balsa shear webbing and a beech dowel leading edge for high strength at low weight. The wing is secured to the fuselage with rubber bands.

The empennage is made of CNC-cut balsa sheets with balsa and carbon reinforcements. The elevator and rudder are controlled by servos located in the fuselage with piano wire “snake” push rods.

You can use an iron-on film for covering - lightweight transparent KAVAN or Oracover® are preferred.

Radio: You will need at least a two-channel radio to control your REDY First glider or a four-channel radio for the electric-powered version. Good 6 g micro servos (0.7–1.0 kg·cm torque) are required for the elevator and rudder; the servo tray supplied in the kit is tailored to the KAVAN GO-6MG servos. A four-cell AAA 4.8V 800mAh NiMH battery would make a great receiver battery for the glider.

The electric version will be happy with the KAVAN PRO 2225-1600 brushless motor driving an 8×6“ folding propeller with a 30–32 mm spinner, KAVAN R-30B Plus or KAVAN PRO R-30SB ESC with a 3S LiPo 11.1 V 750–1200 mAh flight pack. If you ever considered upgrading to the “full-house” aileron and flap Thermic wing, you should go for the recommended KAVAN ESCs (or similar) featuring a powerful switched BEC required to power 6 servos right away.

The kit contents: CNC-cut balsa and liteply/plywood parts, hardwood sticks, accessories set, sheet of stickers, full-size building plan, instruction manual.
