This is the E-Flite Mystique RES 2.9m ARF Airplane. The E-Flite Mystique RES 2.9m ARF sailplane was inspired by the popular full-house Mystique 2.9m, except that it has been specifically modified for exquisite performance with only elevator, rudder, and spoiler controls. The Mystique RES’s large wingspan was built with just the right amount of polyhedral to give you gentle flight characteristics, but still have the authority to turn abruptly into a thermal the instant it's sensed.
Built-in spoilers offer the ability to dump lift so you have control to escape a thermal and perform spot landings with greater precision. The Selig S3021 airfoil provides excellent handling over a wide speed range, plus the all-wood open-wing construction keeps weight to a minimum so you can take advantage of even the smallest amount of lift. The contour of the molded fiberglass fuselage is sleek yet provides ample room for its pushrods to run internally and still have room for a powerful LiPo motor battery.
