Let's start off with: "build quality is exceptional." This is what we hear all the time about this model, and it truly is.
The original Electric Deviant was a strong performer: compact size, full-carbon build, great climb and fun characteristics. But, it wasn't great at slowing down due to its AUW.
Generous battery bay and super nice wing attach.
Here’s how the platform was upgraded:
- Shorter nose section for better balancing — making CG setup easier and reducing the AUW.
- Updated fuselage design engineered for easier motor, ESC and servo installation & servicing — less hassle when building or maintaining in the field.
- Lower all-up-weight (AUW) target to improve performance and responsiveness.
- Improved slow-speed performance: better handling in mild lift and calm conditions so you can exploit thermals more effectively.
- Retaining full-carbon structure, premium tooling and the high-quality build you expect from ArmSoar.
The handy radio hatch and pushrod exits on the bottom keeps things easy.
Whether you’re upgrading from a foam glider or you’re looking for a compact, high-capability glider to take on trips — the Electric Deviant 2 gives you:
- Easier setup and field service: faster build, fewer headaches.
- Superior slow-air performance: more fun when conditions aren’t perfect.
- Excellent climb and glide characteristics thanks to optimized weight and balance.
- A travel-friendly e-glider built for serious soaring, not just backyard flights.
Specifications
Wing airfoil: modified Synergy 2

Stabilizer area: 1.6
Fin area: 1.3
Empty Weight: 117-127
Flight Weight: 200-220g
Recommended gear:
2x KST x06H (a06H) + 2x KST x06 (a06)
1507 Motor, 16A ESC, CN-models spinner, 6x4" folding propeller.
Suggested settings from a builder:
Flaperons- up=9mm. down=6mm
Elevator- up=6mm. down=7mm
Rudder- L/R=22mm. About +/-25 degrees each way.
Camber: Neutral is the speed setting
Down 2mm is normal cruise (from what I remember from the DLG chart)
Thermal I have not worked out yet. I am at 6-7mm and that creates a stall which means I need less flap or more El compensation.
Center of Gravity- I am at 74mm.
Fuselage Length (no tail): 28 7/8”
