Elvira medium i s the logical link between the special variants of our 4,5-meter model. The medium is suitable for almost all conditions on the slope and in the plane. Since the take-off weight is below 5kg, this version is interesting for those who had to do without Elvira so far due to statutory regulations.

Elvira slope is a robust funflyer fully built in carbon. The model is perfectly suited for hard use on slope.The great wing span and the high aspect ratio in combination with the weight enable high performance and fantastic momentum.
