Thank you for choosing the Wattage Omega 636 EP Glider as your next airplane.  Whether you have built and

flown other electric airplanes in the past, or if this is your first, you will appreciate the high quality, easy final
assembly and excellent flight characteristics of the Omega 636.

The Omega 636 is a lightweight 72" T-tail electric glider that is ideal for thermal soaring and general sport

flying.  The Omega 636 features a white gel-coated fiberglass fuselage, built-up fully-sheeted plug-in wing
panels, and a removable sheet balsa stabilizer.  The wing panels and stabilizer are covered with real iron-on
covering material.  The wings are removable for easy transport and feature dual aileron servos for crisp, solid
control.  The Omega 636 comes with a preinstalled electric motor, a folding propeller assembly and a spinner.
With a seven cell flight battery and 30 amp speed control, the Omega 636 climbs with authority and flies with
ease.

When you open the box, you will notice that you won't have much left to do or to purchase to finish your

new airplane.  Most of the airplane has already been expertly preassembled for you.  Simply install your radio
system, bolt the stabilizer and wing halves into place and go fly.  It doesn't get much easier than that.

We hope you enjoy your new Wattage Omega 636 EP Glider as much as we have enjoyed designing and

building it for you.  If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.  We have included a
product survey in the back of this manual.  After you have finished assembling the Omega 636, please take a
minute to fill it out and send it to us.  We always appreciate hearing the comments and suggestions that you
have.
