✈️ About Ultralajt

Hello and welcome!

My name is "Ultralajt", and I’ve been designing and building radio-controlled aircraft models for over 30 years. From electric gliders to large-scale sailplanes, I specialize in creating high-performance models based on real aircraft as well as original designs from scratch.

Over the years, I’ve shared many of my builds and techniques on popular forums such as RCGroups and Forum Modelarji, where I’m known as “ultralajt”. I’ve also helped many beginners take their first steps into the world of model aviation.

This website is my way of offering high-quality plans and precision-cut kits to fellow enthusiasts around the world. Whether you're a seasoned builder or just getting started, I hope you’ll find something here that inspires you.

If you have questions, feel free to reach out – I’m always happy to help!

Make it happen

Model design

By the end of primary school, I had already developed a keen interest in aircraft modeling. I started with free-flying glider models and later moved on to U-control models. I rarely came across a model plan that truly captivated me, so I designed the vast majority of my models myself—following my own ideas while still adhering to established principles and proven construction methods.

After completing my military service, I became fascinated with free flight, spending a decade soaring with hang gliders and parachutes. For a few years, I transitioned to flying real gliders before returning to the world of modeling, where I remain active to this day.

I want to use my experience and expertise to offer high-quality plans of my creations to modelers around the world. There is no greater joy than seeing modelers build my designs and fly them successfully and with satisfaction. Every photo sent to me by happy builders from all over fills me with immense pride.

Plans & Drawings

All my model designs are the result of my knowledge and many years of experience, which I acquired during my education and later in my job, where I worked as a designer. All this knowledge is of great help to me in creating high-quality drawings and plans for my models. High-quality plans are a prerequisite for a model maker to successfully build their model based on them.

Short KIT-s

For some of my models, I offer the production of so-called "Short KITs," which include all the wooden components of the aircraft suitable for cutting with a CNC router. This eliminates the need for the modeler to manually carve a multitude of complex parts.

To assemble a Short KIT, the modeler only needs to purchase additional materials, depending on the specific model. These may include wooden strips, balsa sheets for covering the fuselage and wings, small connecting elements, hinges, heat-shrink film for covering the model, wheels, control linkage components, and, of course, all the necessary electronics, such as the motor, batteries, receiver, and servos.

Each KIT package comes with detailed assembly instructions, both in text and images. Additionally, the construction of these models is extensively documented on modeling forums, with links provided in the description of each model. If modelers encounter any questions or challenges, they are welcome to reach out to me for advice—I am always happy to help to the best of my ability.
