Midway Gnome, electric HLG

Svensk version


Midway Gnome, Speed 400 power

Midway Gnome

This model is a hand launch glider called the "Gnome". The Gnome is a good flier, both in thermals and on the slope.

I have tried geared Speed 400 7.2V (11x7 folder), direct drive Speed 400 7.2V (6x3 folder) and Speed 400 6V (6x3 folder) also direct drive. Power comes from 7 Sanyo 500AR.

I like the direct drive Speed 400 7.2V best. It gives the Gnome the best gliding performance and good climb. Still air time reaches 10 minutes with geared motor, 9 minutes with direct drive 7.2V and 6 minutes with 6V motor.

Wing span: 150 cm

Weight: 650 - 700 g

Wing area: 24 dm2
