Overview
The EFL Winglet Set (2) for the E-flite Opterra 2M is an essential replacement part for RC aeroplane enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're an experienced RC plane pilot or just discovering the world of electric powered flight, winglets are crucial components that enhance your aircraft's aerodynamic performance and stability. These genuine E-flite parts are designed specifically for the Opterra 2M platform, ensuring perfect fit and optimal flight characteristics every time you take to the skies.
Winglets are the small vertical fins mounted at the wingtips of an aeroplane, and they serve an important purpose in RC flight dynamics. They help reduce wing tip vortices, which improves lift efficiency and reduces drag during flight. For the Opterra 2M, which is a popular mid-range RC glider and aeroplane, having a complete set of undamaged winglets is essential for achieving the best possible flight performance and handling characteristics. If you've experienced a crash or simply want to refresh your airframe with genuine replacement parts, this winglet set from E-flite delivers reliability and authentic performance.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine E-flite spares and parts for the Opterra 2M, and we're committed to helping you keep your RC aeroplane in top flying condition. From wing panels and elevons to control surfaces and structural components, we supply the essential parts you need to repair crash damage, maintain your model between flights, or prepare a second setup for extended flying sessions. Pair this winglet set with other Opterra 2M spares such as carbon tubes, centre fins, motor mounts and control horn sets to ensure your aircraft remains airworthy and performs at its best.
Key Features
- Genuine E-flite Product — These winglets are manufactured by E-flite, the same company that designs and builds the Opterra 2M aeroplane, ensuring perfect compatibility and authentic performance characteristics that integrate seamlessly with your aircraft's aerodynamic design.
- Aerodynamic Winglet Design — The winglets are engineered to reduce wing tip vortex effects, which decreases drag and improves overall flight efficiency, allowing your Opterra 2M to achieve better glide ratios and more stable flight at various speeds.
- Lightweight Construction — Like all components on the Opterra 2M platform, these winglets are manufactured from lightweight foam and composite materials that minimise weight whilst maintaining structural integrity, crucial for optimal RC flight performance.
- Set of Two — This package includes both left and right winglets, giving you a complete replacement set so you can restore your aeroplane to factory condition after damage or wear.
- Easy Installation — The winglets attach to the wing tips using standard RC aeroplane attachment methods, making replacement straightforward without requiring specialist tools or advanced RC knowledge.
- UK Stock Available — RC Model Shop maintains large UK stocks of E-flite Opterra 2M parts, meaning faster dispatch and next day delivery to many UK postcodes, getting you back in the air quickly after repairs.
Technical Performance
The EFL Winglet Set (2) represents E-flite's commitment to quality aeronautical engineering in the RC hobby sector. These winglets are precision-manufactured to exact specifications that match the original components shipped with the Opterra 2M aeroplane. The winglet design incorporates aerodynamic principles used in full-scale aviation, where winglets have proven to enhance flight efficiency by reducing induced drag at the wing tips. For RC aeroplanes like the Opterra 2M, which are typically powered by brushless electric motors and fly on 3S or 4S LiPo batteries, having properly functioning winglets ensures that the energy from your power system translates efficiently into sustained flight performance. The materials used in winglet construction provide an excellent balance between strength and weight, with foam cores and composite reinforcement preventing damage during normal flight operations whilst keeping the total mass addition to your airframe minimal. Whether you're flying in calm conditions or dealing with moderate wind, these winglets maintain their structural integrity and aerodynamic function, contributing to the overall stability and control responsiveness of your Opterra 2M throughout its flight envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are winglets and why does my Opterra 2M need them? — Winglets are small vertical fins mounted at the wingtips of an aeroplane that reduce wing tip vortex effects, which decreases aerodynamic drag and improves lift efficiency. On the Opterra 2M, winglets are essential components that contribute to stable flight, improved glide performance, and better handling characteristics across the aircraft's speed range.
- How do I know if my winglets need replacing? — If you've experienced a crash or noticed visible damage such as cracks, splits, compression damage, or if a winglet has become detached from the wing tip, it's time to fit a replacement set. Damaged winglets will negatively affect your Opterra 2M's aerodynamic performance and flight stability, so replacement is recommended.
- Are these winglets compatible with my Opterra 2M? — Yes, these are genuine E-flite parts specifically designed for the Opterra 2M aeroplane. Before ordering, ensure you check the part number (EFL11111) and confirm you're fitting the correct left and right orientation to your aircraft.
- Will replacing my winglets be difficult? — No, winglet replacement on the Opterra 2M is a straightforward process that requires no specialist tools or advanced RC knowledge.
