MINIMOA Powered Glider
The full size Minimoa has a very interesting history. It was designed in Germany in the 1930s and was reportedly first flown in 1935. She has a distinctive nose and canopy along with very distinctive gull wings that were both attractive and functional. In 1938, the then altitude record of 6,687m was set in a Minimoa during a thunderstorm. A Minimoa was flown to victory in the US championships in 1937 and 1938. Currently there are four Minimoa full size gliders surviving in the world with two of them in Germany. The design has been popular with RC slope soarers who appreciate its elegant and classic gull wing design. The full size Minimoa was a pure sailplane with no motor as has been the case with most RC Minimoas up until now.

MINIMOA Glider
This famous German glider designed in 1935 is almost a cult classic amongst old-school glider pilots and those looking for something a little different. It's distinctive nose, stubby tail and gull wings are both attractive and functional, helping the original version to reach an altitude record of 6,687m in 1938!
Our Minimoa is a large (2mtr) RTF glider made from super strong reinforced EPO foam.
This model comes pre-built with motor, esc and servos already installed. All you need to do is include your own receiver & battery to be ready to fly in 10 minutes.
The HK Minimoa is well designed, with easy access to the battery compartment, and the wings being easily removed with 2 nylon screws and a wing support bracket, making this an easy glider to set up at the field and fit into the back of your car as it takes around 3 minutes to assemble the main wings. The gull wings are kept strong with 2 reinforcing rods, inserted at the time of moulding theEPO; they're fixed in place and will never move, providing a strong and slop-free support to the wings.
