This makes it much easier to differentiate between a "stick thermal" and a real bubble or rising air. The product consists of the aluminium TE probe, a short brass mounting tube, and approx 2m of thin tubing for plumbing the TE probe to the vario's pressure input. The TE Probe for Conventional Tails (TEX) should be mounted with the long part of the probe horizontal, aligned with the airstream, and the bent portion at the front pointing down.
With a Total Energy probe (TEK) fitted the variometer senses the vertical movement of the air mass, rather than the vertical movement of the model. The TEK does this by sensing the model�s speed, and adjusting the pressure into the variometer appropriately. With a perfect TEK you could dive a model and loop it, and the vario�s tone wouldn�t change - as long as you didn�t fly into lift or sink. Conversely, you could trim a model to high speed to escape an area of sink, and the TEK-fitted vario would continue to sense the vertical speed of the air mass only, without being confused by the higher than normal sink rate of the speeding model. Thus as soon as you had escaped the sink the vario would return to the normal tone - without the TEK you would have to slow the model up before you could rely on the vario�s signal.
<b>This TE probe is suitable for models with conventional and T tails. </b>

<font color="red"><b>DON'T MISS OUR SALE! �10 off RRP! </b></FONT>
</MARQUEE>
The LipoSack is a revolutionary invention for storing, transporting, and charging lithium polymer batteries. Although the LipoSack can't stop a damaged or abused LiPo battery from explosively igniting, it can and does contain any ignition very effectively, reducing the chance of serious damage and burns.
The LipoSack is made from a special fire-safe glass reinforced fabric so it doesn't add to the fire, and its slightly porous construction allows the gasses released in the extreme conflagration to escape without building up pressure, and causing an explosion.
The LipoSack bag is quite large, and pictured with a 3S 2.2ah LiPo pack for size comparison.
We highly recommend this bag as an essential piece of safety equipment for any user of LiPo cells.
<font color="#808080">Also known as: lipo charging bag, LiPo batteries bag, LiPo electric safety bag, lipo fire bag, lipoly battery bag, lipo charging container, Liposack, Liposac, li-po fire bag, lipoly safety bags</font>

This competition winning F3J model is a thermal duration soarer of the highest calibre. It was originally designed my Mark Drela, the world famous low speed aerodynamics professor at MIT and very gifted modeller, for bagged composite construction. However few modellers have the expertise or time to build the design, so Vladimir has made it available to all by using state of the art hollow moulded construction techniques. The CAD/CAM molds ensure the finished model has the exact wing and fuselage shape and totally accurate airfoils, and a superb surface finish.
The Supra Competition Pro sports all the design features that Drela�s models are world famous for, including a low pylon mounted wing, Drela designed custom airfoils, and a low drag V mounted tail plane. The upgraded Pro version has a drooped nose to reduce skidding on landing, allowing higher points when competition flying, and thisd latest Competition verson includes built up vertical and horizontal stabisers to reduce weight and intertia.
The glass version of this almost ready to fly glider can be assembled to a weight as low as 1600g, a brilliant figure for a large all molded model. The wing skin is a very rigid and tough glass/rohacell/kevlar sandwich with a substantial T800 carbon spar.
<img src="extras/supragpic-s.jpg" alt="Supra Glass molded wing construction">
The finessed design and the low weight allow the model to be an outstanding thermal soarer, that is particularly suited to weaker conditions common to the UK.
<b>Advantages of the Supra Pro Competition's Built-Up Tail </b>
1) The weight of the horizontal stabilizer is reduced by 7 grams, eliminating 15 grams of nose ballast.
2) The area of the horizontal stabilizer is increased by 7%, increasing stability, or allowing a more rearward CG, facilitating a further nose weight reduction.
3) Weight of the vertical stabilizer is reduced by 10 grams, eliminating 23 grams of nose ballast.
4) Stiffness and strength of the horizontal stabilizer is increased due to D-box and CF spar from T800 prepreg.
5) Improved accuracy of the tail airfoil due to new CAD/CAM built-up manufacturing process.
6) Reduction of weight at the extremities reduces the moment of inertia, increasing lift indication.
<b>Immediately Apparent Flight Improvements</b>
1) The Supra Competition reacts to the slightest of morning lifts and hot air bubbles.
2) Faster starts due to stiffer CF wing spar from T800 prepreg.
3) Improved control, especially apparent at low landing speed.
4) The Supra Competition reacts quickly to elevator input, if you dork the plane into the landing target.
Supra Competition kit has an assembled fuselage with a demountable vertical stabilizer, for easier transportation. The vertical stabilizer is fixed by a carbon pin. Please fix the pin in place with glued tape before flight.
The model is supplied with wing connection plugs and sockets and wiring harness for connecting up the wing servos.

Yellow / yellow and red R��y� �� �b�( BLASTER-2Blaster 2 DLG F3Ka The <b>Blaster 2/2</b> is a high tech F3K R/C hand launched glider utilising airfoils designed specially for DLGs by Mark Drela. To help with storage and transportation this updated Blaster 2/2 has a wing that splits into two parts � this is cleverly implemented and only adds 6g to the model's weight. The break is asymmetrical, and the wing that is used for launching is fully bolted to the fuselage, so the wing join only has to take the forces on the outside wing. This facility also makes the Blaster 2 into a brilliant holiday glider, that can be flown from the beach, small dunes, or any small field.
The hollow-molded wing is made in CNC machined molds to ensure the airfoils are reproduced accurately, and the potential performance is fully achieved. The elliptical planform and transitioning airfoils give the wing a very high efficiency, together with excellent handling characteristic and a benign stall.
The superbly finished wing comes complete with a moulded-in aerodynamic winglet on the left wing only, for tip launching by right-handers. The wing also has pre-cut servo mounts and bottom hinged generously sized flaperons, to allow the model to be slowed down to a crawl for hand catching. This high level of prefabrication makes the glider especially strong, clean, and easy to build.
The wing skin is a very rigid and tough glass/rohacell/glass sandwich with a substantial carbon spar.
<img src="extras/blaster-wing-all.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The glass skin is laid at 45 degrees to eliminate twisting and maximise launch height. The carbon braid reinforced shear web is bonded to the substantial carbon spar caps, resulting in a light but strong spar.
<img src="extras/blaster-spar.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The living skin hinged flaperons have a rohacell core and a very sharp trailing edge to minimise drag.
<img src="extras/blaster-wing-flap.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The spacious pod is Kevlar reinforced with a horizontal strip of carbon fibre extending back to the boom, and is covered by removable nose cone to keep the front end clean and maintain laminar flow. The pod includes a wing mounting pylon to reduce interference drag, and fairs smoothly into the generously sized and very stiff carbon tailboom.
A lightweight v-mount keeps the full flying tailplane out of the disturbed airflow, and gives the pilot excellent low drag pitch control.
Download our Blaster 2 Assembly Guide (link below) to see how easily and quickly the Blaster 2 goes together. Our thanks to Martin Bell for his help with the manual, and for permission to use his excellent photos.
Do look at this {href,http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1301307, New Blaster 2 RCGroups build thread} which shows how to fit all the servos in the pod, as now recommended by Vladimir's Models. Also see this excellent 4 in the pod build log {href,http://www.instructables.com/id/Discus-Launch-Glider-Build/,here}.
The Blaster 2 is supplied with a throwing blade molded into one wing side only. It is now usually supplied with a two piece wing, and has the blade on the left side, making it suitable for right handed throwers only.

<font color="#990000">Please note any colour preferences in the message section when checking out.</font> + � � � � � ,2� � � � � � � � � � R���s � �r�* AVAAVA F3J The AVA is the penultimate F3J thermal duration polyhedral floater (the ultimate is of course the Super AVA). Its stable TD design and simple rudder, elevator, spoiler (RES) controls make it supremely easy to fly, and its light weight, prodigious strength, and state of the art design result in unequalled performance.
Based on the acclaimed Bubble Dancer, the AVA F3J is an implementation of Mark Drela�s design using the free flight type construction techniques invented in Eastern Europe, and perfected by Vladimir. Like the Simply the Best and Organic ranges the AVA wing has carbon capped ribs and a kevlar D box. Allied to a substantial kevlar wrapped carbon spar this results in a very rigid and almost unbreakable structure.
The aerodynamics are also outstanding, with specially designed airfoils (no doubt in Xfoil, written by Mark Drela himself when he was a student), and a low drag V mounted tail plane, the model has a Zlog measured sink rate of 0.3m/s (60 ft per minute). The 3.2m AVA glider can be built down to 39oz, however despite the low wing loading the plane can cope with 15mph winds with ease.

The provision of flaps increases the speed range, and allows the model to be slowed better for F3J landing, allowing for more accurate and gentle landings. Also there is less trim change, so less elevator compensation is needed with flaps. This means they can be applied in a hurry, with less chance of ballooning or diving.

MINI-GRAPHITEMini Graphite Glider_ The Vladimir's Models <b>Mini Graphite</b> is a 1.9m super sleek fully moulded glider for all-round use. The design gives excellent performance as a fast slope soarer and can even be used as a thermal soarer. The Mini Graphite is in its element on the slope with well-balanced flight performance and outstanding thermal soaring capability.
The fuselage and removable nose cone are constructed from a specially woven carbon/Kevlar cloth producing an extremely strong yet light fuselage. The MH32 section hollow moulded wings have carbon spars and curved wing tips, which improve the flight performance and add to the sleek appearance of the model. The model is easily transported with its two-piece wings and removable V tail.
Download our {href, extras/Mini Graphite Assembly Guide.pdf, Mini Graphite Assembly Guide} (5mb) to see how easily and quickly the Mini Graphite goes together.
An AVA ballast tube and Supra/Maxa/AVA ballast can be purchased and used to give the model a substantial ballast capability, widening its flight envelope considerably.

The {b,Supra-e Pro Competition Glass} has the standard F3J Supra Competition Glass, wing and tail, with an electric fuselage, making it suitable for all types of electric r/c thermal soaring competitions. This version has a winchable wing with a full F3J strength carbon spar and is capable of aerobatics and high energy flight and the new drag-reducing narrow pod. We can order versions with both the built-up "Competition" and the classic molded tail surfaces to suit modellers who want the minimum weight, or a sexier all molded model.
The benefits of this version are:
{bullet}
Full strength T800 wing spar sized to withstand the forces required for two man F3J tows! Apart from allowing the wing to be used for F3J events it also means massive dives and high G aerobatics can be performed safely.
Supplied with a lightweight wiring loom for the fuselage and wing connections.
Fuse pod designed for a geared electric motors with a removable canopy hatch for easy access to the batteries and motor.
Built-up tail benefits: Ultralight fin with built-up rudder, and built-up tailplane (horizontal stabiliser). This is lighter and slightly larger, improving stability and reducing inertia, at the expense of being a little less robust.
Molded tail benefits: Stronger low drag molded fin and rudder, modified to allow the tail servos to be rear mounted, to give more space for the powertrain in the pod, and to aide with correct centre of gravity placement. Stronger low drag molded tailplane (horizontal stabiliser). Fin, rudder and tailplane match the fuselage and wing colour.
{endbullet}
These improvements will allow the plane to excel al thermal soaring competitions, but also to be used for fun flying. This more versatile version will be attractive to pilot who prefer a stronger airframe that works well in all flying conditions.
The wing skin is a very rigid and tough glass/rohacell/glass sandwich with special high modulus T800 carbon spar.
<img src="extras/supragpic-s.jpg" alt="Supra Glass molded wing construction">
The model is supplied with wing connection plugs and sockets and partial wiring harness for connecting up the tail servos. See the {plink,SUPRA-E-LOOM, Supra-e Servo Harness} product page.

BLASTER-2E
Blaster 2e� In addition to the discus launched glider Vladimir has made <b>Blaster 2 Electric</b> versions of the model, with rear mounted servos. The model is usually supplied with a two piece wing to help with transportation and storage - and to make it into a great holiday model. The Blaster 2e wing is now made in a spread carbon (SC) layup, increasing its strength and longevity.
<!--
The <b>outrunner fuselage</b> has the firewall recessed 27mm back from the nose, to allow a cost effective direct drive outrunner motor to be installed, with space for a good sized battery in the uncluttered pod. This version is best for those wanting minimum weight and expense. The inside diameter at the very nose is 30mm, increasing to 33mm at the recessed firewall.
The <b>inrunner fuselage</b> has the firewall in the normal place at the font of the nose, and is designed for use with a front mounted powertrain. This could be a normal direct drive motor, or a geared motor, or a front mounted outrunner. This version is best for those wanting conventionally mounted motors and those using gearboxes to maximise performance
-->
The fuselage is supplied with two firewalls, one suitable for front mounting a geared inrunner (like a geared Hacker B20), and a slightly larger one for mounting about 27mm back in the pod, for rear mounting a small outrunner (like a Hacker A20).
By using a 30g motor and a lightweight lipo battery the electric version can be built very light, and has flying characteristics identical to the DLG. Alternatively by fitting a larger motor and high discharge battery, the plane becomes a lightweight hotliner, adept at vertical climbs, high speed flight, and aerobatics, while still very capable of thermalling with the best.
The superbly finished hollow molded one piece wing comes with pre-cut servo mounts and bottom hinged generously sized flaperons, to allow the model to be slowed down to a crawl for damage-free landings or even hand catching. This high level of prefabrication makes the glider especially strong, clean, and easy to build.
The hollow molded wing skin is a very rigid and tough glass/rohacell/glass sandwich with a substantial carbon spar.
<img src="extras/blaster-wing-all.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The glass skin is laid at 45 degrees to eliminate twisting and maximise launch height. The carbon braid reinforced shear web is bonded to the substantial carbon spar caps, resulting in a light but strong spar.
<img src="extras/blaster-spar.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The living skin hinged flaperons have a rohacell core and a very sharp trailing edge to minimise drag.

PICARES-V2PicaRES Evo V2 2m
The {b,Picares Evo V2} has a good reputation in European F3-RES contests. The Picares is a beautiful 2 m all CNC cut balsa wood kit that builds fast and flies superbly. This new version is even lighter than previously, with an enlarged spoiler to ensure accurate landings.
The detailed full size plans include isometric drawings of some details and scale drawings of all the CNC balsa sheets, to make finding the parts easy. The plans include info on converting the model to electric power and on fitting a V tail rather than the Drela-inspired tail surfaces.
The model is well thought out with very nice detail design that does not add unneeded complexity. The parts are beautifully cut from well chosen balsa and ply, and fit together like a jigsaw.
The very complete accessories supplied include magnets, clevises, hinges, horns, and even a firewall for the optional electric conversion. The well illustrated manual is in German and can be understood with the help of Google Translate.

� � � � � d� � � � � � � � @ S� ] u� c � � ��b�� KAPPA25Kappa 25 F5J-400P The {b,Kappa 25} is a great 2.5m (100") span F5J electric thermal soarer for sports and competition modellers wanting a smaller model. It is light, well designed, and is built to a very high standard. The Kappa 25's advanced structural design ensures it is strong enough for its intended mission, and its finish, completeness and attention to detail is outstanding. The model really is almost ready to fly, with all the wing control horns and pushrods ready fitted, so the only work required to finish the wings is to fit the servos. The fuselage just requires the tailboom, fin and tailplane mount to be glued into place, and the tail control runs installed.
Special features of this model include:
{bullet}
A well designed low drag fuselage with a large underwing hatch giving good access to the powertrain and RC, making for easy RC installation and maintenance.
A high aspect ratio wing with proprietary airfoils optimised for F5J flying - the wing excels in tight thermal turns, allowing the model to be confidently climbed away from small, weak thermals.
Despite its extremely good thermal performance the wings maintain a good L/D up to higher speeds, allowing the Kappa 25 to easily return from far downwind.
The wing has slightly swept back wing tips, making it approximate to the Schulman planform. This is meant to improve performance and handling, especially near the stall.
Superb quality of construction and attention to detail. The model had been constructed by master builders who must have invested hundreds of hours in each airframe. The level of finish achieved is very rare.
The all the control surfaces are sealed and the wing control horns are all hidden inside the control surfaces, further reducing drag.
The level of completeness of the airframe is exceptional, allowing the model to be finished in just a few days.
The wing breaks down into two pieces and the tailplane is easily removable, allowing the model to be easily transported to contests.
{endbullet}
The model is available in three composite layups:
{b,Glass} - Mostly glass covered flying surfaces, with carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This is the lightest version.
{b,DBox} - The flying surfaces have a carbon DBox at the front. The rest is mostly glass with carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This version weighs approx 30 g more than the Light version but is stronger. This layup costs approx 9% more.
{b,Spread Carbon} - All the flying surfaces are covered in lightweight spread carbon, with extra carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This version only weighs approx the same as the Light version but is much stronger and less susceptible to hanger rash and handling damage. This layup costs approx 24% more.
For all wing layups the fuselage is all carbon. For all electric models (irrespective of the fuselage construction) we recommend the 2.4GHz aerials are exited from the fuselage, so they are in the outside airflow. One horizontal and one vertical aerial usually works well. There is too much electrical equipment in an electric glider fuselage for the RC signal to be reliably received inside the pod.
All models are supplied with high quality sewn cloth padded wing bags, to ensure the wing stays in perfect condition. The aileron and flap linkage hardware is included, as is the rudder and elevator horn. But the tail pushrods are not included. We recommend either using pull-spring control runs, as is popular on discus launched gliders. See our {href, products.asp?cat=Other+RC+Products&subcat=DLG+Accessories, DLG hardware} for suitable items. Alternatively use lightweight pushrods made from {href, products.asp?code=CARBON-ROD-1MM, 1mm carbon rods} running in our {href, products.asp?code=PTFE-TUBE-14L, 1.68mm PTFE outer tubes}.

AVA-e 3.2mx The AVA-e is the penultimate F3J or F5J polyhedral electric floater (the ultimate is of course the Super AVA-e). Its stable design and simple rudder, elevator, spoiler (RES) controls make it supremely easy to fly, and its light weight, prodigious strength, and state of the art design result in unequalled performance.
Based on the acclaimed Bubble Dancer, the AVA is an implementation of Mark Drela�s design using the free flight type construction techniques invented in Eastern Europe, and perfected by Vladimir. Like the Simply the Best and Organic ranges the AVA wing has carbon capped ribs and a kevlar D box. Allied to a substantial kevlar wrapped carbon spar this results in a very rigid and almost unbreakable structure.
The aerodynamics are also outstanding, with specially designed airfoils (no doubt in Xfoil, written by Mark Drela himself when he was a student), and a low drag V mounted tail plane, the model has a Zlog measured sink rate of 0.3m/s (60 ft per minute). The 3.2m AVA-e can be built down to 47oz, however despite the low wing loading the plane can cope with 15mph winds with ease.

The provision of flaps increases the speed range, and allows the model to be slowed better for F5J landing, allowing for more accurate and gentle landings. Also there is less trim change, so less elevator compensation is needed with flaps. This means they can be applied in a hurry, with less chance of ballooning or diving.
This is especially useful for the more highly loaded electric F5J version.

<font face="courier" color="#191970">
First the very good news.I did eventually get to fly the model.This was at Twywell last Sunday. I waited until the event was over. I was lucky to get some very good help from Stephen Mettam and Mike Proctor and am pleased to report that the model flew very well indeed. In fact, it is easy to fly but will be a challenge for me to fly well. I was very surprised at it's speed range in view of what seems to me a ridiculously low weight.
So, I look forward to enjoying this model and intend to enter one or more of the esoaring events later in the year.
As far as the fitting out was concerned there are one or two features that may just be of interest to you.
I originally fitted both HS125 servos in the tail but it soon became clear that this would result in some difficulty getting the CG right without a lot of nose weight or a big battery. Consequently I relocated the rudder sevo to a tray under the wing on the CG and used an internal push rod. To save a bit of weight and avoid clashes I used enamelled copper winding wire (26swg) to feed the elevator servo.
The battery fits on a tray which extends about 50 mm beyond the front of the fuselage pod. I fitted a shorting plug made from two 3.5mm gold connectors and a bit of brass sheet. This is on the top of the nose cone. The receiver is right in the back of the pod and the aerial exits from the spare rear fixing hole. As far as the spoiler servo is concerned I just could not get it completely in the wing and the ball link pokes out of the bottom about 6mm; so I had to remove a small bit of the upper deck of the pod.
Here are a few numbers:-
All up weight 1270 gms
Battery 3s1p Lipo Hyperion LVX series 2000mah (162gms)
Motor Medusa afterburner V2 2840 2500, kv is 2500rev/volt (100gms)
Gearbox Kontronic 5.2/1 (about 52gms)
Prop Aeronaut 16x10
ESC jeti Advance 40 amp
Servos HS125
Power is about 230 to 250 watts depending on battery temperature.
If I have the sums right all this gives a wing loading of about 7.6 oz/ft2.
That's about it.I really enjoyed putting this model together.It flys very well and has given me a new skill to master.
Regards, Spencer.</font>

The design gives excellent performance as a fast electric glider and as an all weather thermal soarer. The Mini Graphite is very happy at high speed aerobatics, yet also slows down well and thermals like a much larger model. Its well-balanced flight performance and excellent thermal soaring capability make it an outstanding model.
The fuselage and removable nose cone are constructed from a specially woven carbon/Kevlar cloth producing an extremely strong yet light fuselage. The MH32 section hollow moulded wings have carbon spars and curved wing tips, which improve the flight performance and add to the sleek appearance of the model. The model is easily transported with its two-piece wings and removable V tail.
The underwing fuse opening is 34mm > 27mm x 85mm (big enough for a 3S 2.2ah LiPo). By removing the nosecone a suitable 4S 2.2ah or 3S 3.3ah LiPo battery can be fitted.

� �b�6 GRAPHITE-2EGraphite 2e 3.1m� The Vladimir's Models <b>Graphite 2e</b> is a 3.1m no compromise high performance glider/hotliner for experienced r/c electric glider modellers. The aerodynamic qualities have been further improved over the original Graphite with the assistance of Dr Drela.
The wing uses the popular MH32 section, is all molded, and of exceptional quality and surface finish, with the lay-up designed to combine extraordinary strength with comparative low weight.
<img src="extras/graphite2-glass-version.jpg" alt="Molded wing construction">
The resulting performance is outstanding, and the glider�s toughness allows it to survive the rigours of competition and slope flying. Suitable for F5J competitions.
See this copy of a lost RCMF {href,graphitebuildlog" target=,Hyperflight / Vladimir's model Graphite 2E Build Thread} for a very high quality build log, with excellent photos, and flight reports.
<b>Construction</b>
The kit is very highly prefabricated, and can be assembled in a short time.
<img src="extras/gr2-electric-all-kit.jpg" alt="Parts breakdown">
Fuselage - coloured, gelcoated and laminated in the aluminium mould. It's made of Kevlar and carbon and has a removable nosecone. Its keel for the RC mounting is made of carbon together with the ballast mounting tube.
Wing - coloured, three-section gel coated and laminated in the aluminium mould, has sandwich construction and is made of the materials according to the version. It has a high-tech carbon spar and joiners. The ailerons and flaps are completely ready and hinged. They also have wipers closing up the slot when aileron/flap operates.
Tailplane - coloured two section gel coated and laminated in the aluminium mould, has sandwich construction and is made of HEREX and fiberglass. It has a carbon spar and joiners. The elevators are ready and hinged. They have wipers closing up the slot.

Kevlar b`,\ | ��b�� SD1007Ripmax SD100 / H47 / TS1118 Servo - 8.1mm 4.7g 1.1Kg.cm� {b,Limited to four servos per order}
The {b,Hepf H47} is <b>exactly</b> the same servo as the Ripmax SD100, Dymond D47 and Topmodel TS1118 and is rated for up to 8.4V operation. This allows it to be used with a 2S LiPo receiver battery without a voltage regulator, reducing cost and increasing reliability - and allowing useful rx battery voltage info to be transmitted back to the pilot when using modern telemetry radios.
The Hepf H47 like the Ripmax SD100 and D47 is a precision 4.7 g analogue servo with a good torque and excellent centring. It has a low backlash geartrain and can be used for all control surfaces. Suitable for models weighing up to 1 Kg.
Another benefit of the H47 / SD100 / D47 / TS1118 is the very low operating current. This increases the flight time of the model by about 40% in comparison to a similar digital servo.
<i>HyperFlight note: We are sourcing this servo under other brand names from European suppliers as the SD100 is no longer available from the Ripmax in the UK. However the H47 and TS1118 labelled servos are the exact same servo as the SD100, just with a different sticker.</i>

SUPRA-V-MOUNTSupra & Supra Pro V Mount� {br,No more than 2 per order please.}
Carbon V mount for {b,all versions of the Supra}. Supplied with a custom machined alloy sleeve nut to retain the tailplane. It fits on the boom one way for the original Supra, and the reverse way for the Pro version. Also ideal for Drela inspired own designed models.
Based on the Mark Drela design, this superb quality mount is hand crafted from high modulus carbon and keeps the tailplane above the turbulent flow near the fuselage. This increases the amount of laminar flow on the tailplane, reducing drag. Although it looks spindly it is in fact very strong, and none have ever failed in flight.
Boom fitting inside diameter: 18.4mm
Height of the tailplane mounting plate above the boom: 36mm
Weight: 6.7g
Stud thread: M3
To further reduce drag it is recommended that the V leading edges are rounded, and all trailing edges are filed to a sharp point.

| � P � � '� � � � � � � � d ^a2�P `� �`�_ MKS-SBEC-2A MKS 2A SBEC� The {b,MKS 2A SBEC} voltage regulator fits between the receiver and the servo, like a short extension lead. It allows the receiver to be powered by a 2S LiPo or 2S LiFe battery, and reduces the voltage to the servo to a safe 5V level, ensuring reliable operation and long servo life. It is particularly attractive for telemetry enabled receivers, as the pilot will be able to see the real unregulated battery voltage on his transmitter, not the regulated voltage you would see if the UBEC was fitted between the battery and the receiver.
{b,One SBEC is required for each servo.} This has the added safety advantage that if one servo short circuits or pulls too much current, only the supply to that servo will be shut down, not the complete RC system.
Note that confusingly SBEC is short for Safe BEC in MKS speak, as this device uses a linear regulator, not a switching type. This does mean that there are no switching harmonics, and the servo supply will be free of interference.
These MKS regulators can be modified so they fit between the battery and the receiver, making them suitable for discus launched gliders. See this {href,http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1806357,RCGroups} thread explaining how to rewire them.

BLASTER-2E-INBlaster 2e for Inrunners In addition to the discus launched glider Vladimir has made <b>Blaster 2 Electric</b> versions of the model, with rear mounted servos. This electric Blaster is available in two versions, one designed for popular ourtunner motors, and one for normal electric motors - called inrunners to differentiate them from the LRK type of rotating cased outrunner motors.
This kit includes the <b>inrunner fuselage</b>. This has the firewall in the normal place at the font of the nose, and is designed for use with a front mounted powertrain. This could be a normal direct drive motor, or a geared motor, or a front mounted outrunner. This version is best for those wanting conventionally mounted motors and those using gearboxes to maximise performance.
By using a geared motor the plane can be given amazing performance, and flown like a lightweight hotliner. However by using a little flap is can still be slowed down well and is capable of thermaling with the best.
The superbly finished hollow molded one piece wing comes with pre-cut servo mounts and bottom hinged generously sized flaperons, to allow the model to be slowed down to a crawl for damage-free landings or even hand catching. This high level of prefabrication makes the glider especially strong, clean, and easy to build.
The hollow molded wing skin is a very rigid and tough glass/rohacel/glass sandwich with a substantial carbon spar.
<img src="extras/blaster-wing-all.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The glass skin is laid at 45 degrees to eliminate twisting and maximise launch height. The carbon braid reinforced shear web is bonded to the substantial carbon spar caps, resulting in a light but strong spar.
<img src="extras/blaster-spar.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The living skin hinged flaperons have a rohacel core and a very sharp trailing edge to minimise drag.

These bags are well constructed with commercial quality fabric and zippers, and usually available in red and blue. The 162 cm (64") bag is a perfect choice for 3m to 4m gliders where the longest wing panel is up to 162 cm long. The bag has three padded compartments and also three smaller pockets for stabs, wing rods or accessories. On the outside an additional lined compartment allows a glider fuselage to be carried externally
These bags pay for themselves in a season by eliminating transportation and storage hangar rash, allowing the model to stay in pristine condition for longer. They also allow more flying as the models can be prepared for flight and put away much more quickly, allowing an extra one or two flights per flying session. Also the fact that the model is enclosed in the bag while in the back of the car reduces the chance of theft.
The bags are supplied with the HyperFlight two colour logo rather than Vladimir's Models logo (as shown in the photos).

� x � � +c� � � � � � � � � $ [� c,�m � �b�l SPRITE-HOT-E Sprite Hot-e 2m with wing bags� The Vladimir's Models <b>Sprite Hot Electric</b> is a 2m very efficient fully molded e-glider for thermal and aerobatics. The advanced design by Dr Mark Drela makes it a competitive 2m thermal soarer while the low drag, low dihedral and large controls make it a great hot dog plane too.
Like other VM models the Sprite is optionally available with servo frames with bearings and internal IDS linkages ready fitted. This simplifies installing the RC massively. Whether these have been fitted or not is indicated with text like {i, Aileron and Flap IDS fitted for MKS 6100} below the colour in the {i, Available Options} area below the price. The number refers to the servo family, in this case MKS DS6100 or MKS HV6100 servos. Other servos will generally not work as the servo splines are incompatible between KST, MKS, Futaba, Hitec, etc.
The Hot version has a reduced dihedral angle of 2 degrees, of making it especially suitable for aerobatics and thermalling in windier, more turbulent conditions. The AG40/41/42/43 section hollow molded wings have carbon spars and large ailerons and flaps, extending the speed range at the low and high speed ends of the polar.
The attractive Kevlar fuselage and removable carbon canopy hatch are highly streamlined producing an extremely low drag and sleek pod. The molded-in wing pylon reduces interference drag and the long high modulus carbon tail boom and conventional cruciform tail ensure excellent handling. The molded tail assembly holds the superbly engineered all flying tail mount. The model is easily transported with its two-piece wings and removable tail.
In addition to the exceptional design the other outstanding characteristic of the Sprite is the very, very, very complete build done at the factory, with the following items already fitted to perfection: canopy, tailboom, tailplane mount. The only work required is gluing the fin and fitting the RC and motor.
These are available in glass or spread carbon layup. The delivery received included some lovely spread carbon Sprite Hot-e models. These are very strong and very light.

Plane Quiver II has been further improved to become the pre-eminent glider bags available, with unsurpassed quality. These bags are designed to protect and transport two 3 meter sailplanes or up to four 60" wings... They have been designed to be flexible, functional and durable while providing protection for those valuable sailplanes.
* Built in Fuse Sock on top of the quiver to eliminate the possibility of dragging the tail fins on the ground during transport.
* Extra width has been added if you choose to stuff more than the recommended two planes.
* Storage: You can hang the wings and fuses together.
Plane quiver is one of the strongest bags on the market with lots of added reinforcement to extend the life of the bag while providing maximum protection for the planes. Double stitched and reinforced liners throughout especially in the high stress areas of the bag like the handles and the storage hook.
This bag has been carefully engineered to be durable, strong and flexible. The workmanship on these bags are unmatched by any other bag available today.
A unique Fuse Sock has been placed on top of the quiver. This will enable you to transport up to two full sized 3m fuselage safely on one bag. Two nylon synch fasteners have been sewn into the sock and the bag to keep the fuses secure during transport.
High quality 600 Denier Polyester with interwoven PVC laminate fabric will not fade and is totally waterproof and easy to clean. Polyester has proven to be more UV and fade resistant than nylon. Polyester has PVC laminated into the cloth unlike coated nylon which have polyurethane coatings that peel off during use and washing. These bags are very durable and were designed to protect valuable wings during transportation to your flying site or storage.
Reinforced Tubing Handles and Straps:Two Ergonomically placed reinforced tubing handles have been added to make transporting planes easier and more comfortable. Plastic tubes have been added to provided additional comfort for those long walks to the flying site.

The Pulsar 3.2 is a highly successful competition winning electric R/C glider. The Pulsar 3.2 is probably the lightest high tech full house 3m+ electric glider available in the world. It uses the latest Ukrainian composite construction techniques married to a modern aerodynamic design with a wing utilising Mark Drela's slippery AG25 airfoil optimised for high performance thermal duration planes. The low wing loading and generous dihedral gives excellent thermal climb performance, with the fully articulated wing controls allowing the model to be centred accurately in small turbulent thermals. The thin low drag airfoil works well over a surprisingly large speed range, allowing the model to be safely brought back after drifting far downwind. The large flap and ailerons allow steep slow final approaches, allowing even club pilots to score top landng points, and bring home the wood.
Like other highest performance thermal duration sailplanes the entire model is constructed using free-flight techniques. The wing is a balsa built-up carbon fibre and Kevlar D-box design that utilizes carbon capped balsa ribs and a carbon trailing edge. The open section wing and tail are covered with Ultracote Lite.
The fuselage is made of white gel-coated carbon/Kevlar cloth with carbon tapered boom and removable Kevlar/CF nose cone. The three piece wing and 2-piece conventional tail are easily removable for transport and storage. The rudder servo installs in the vertical stab, and the elevator servo fits in the end of the carbon fibre boom.
Note the carbon in the cloth weave means that the fuselage is not transparent to 2.4GHz radio waves, and the antenna whiskers will have to be placed externally. This can be done as shown below to obtain reliable operation. <img src="extras/Pulsar32-24GHz.jpg" alt="Pulsar 3.2 2.4GHz receiver installation">
The careful use of composites, combined with a high quality underlying wood design ensures a lightweight and rigid structure. This is an extremely light, high performance model that has won numerous UK eSoaring contests.

Measured climb rate TP: 1779 FPM
Measured climb rate LM: 2361 FPM
As I mentioned these seem higher than the figures you calculated. Both batteries are near there nominal ratings and as you can see the older TP battery must have a higher resistance.
The battery space in the Pulsar is a bit tight and I did have a bit of trouble finding a battery to fit from my collection.The TP is a lovely fit(I think the 2100 size is the same cross section).The LM is very snug indeed but just about goes in.

F � �b�y SKYASSISTANT SkyAssistant Logging Voice Vario� {BR, NO LONGER AVAILABLE}
The SkyAssistant is a small but very high specification logging telemetry variometer. The R/C model's vertical speed (lift and sink) is transmitted to the pilot, who hears audible tones and voice announcements telling how the model is flying.
Lift is indicated by a pulsed tone with rate and frequency of the pulses depending on the climb rate. Sink is indicated by a low, continuous tone depending on the sink rate. The audio tones and voice announcements are transmitted by built-in radio transmitter and can be received on standard LPD, PMR or FRS receivers.
Features of the SkyAssistant include:
{bullet}
Voice announcement of altitude in feet or meters at definable altitude steps (default every 50m).
Voice announcement of on-board battery voltage, a message at each voltage drop of 0.1V and a voice alarm if it drops too low.
Voice announcement of temperature (battery, engine or air) in �C or �F.
Logs altitude and all data to Flash memory. Logging time >10h in typical conditions.
Measurement of the servo PPM signal and a warning if interference is detected (works with most systems).
Only weighs 18 g (0.63 oz).
Small size of 70 x 26 x 12 mm.
Supplied with a nozzle to the static port to allow connection of a total energy (TE or TEK) probe.
Compatible with WsTech and other total energy (TE) probes.
RC control of voice messages (altitude, voltage and temperature) and device status.
Easy to update firmware.
All data can be downloaded and graphed for off-line analysis.
USB PC interface.
Can be configured for LPD (EU) or FRS (US) frequency bands.
Easy to use PC software to setup the many programmable parameters and for viewing the altitude logs.
{endbullet}
Note that the SkyAssistant does require access to a PC running MS Windows for setting up and accessing the logged data. See below the instruction manual PDF file for more info.
It is recommended that the vario is mounted with the nozzle facing down. The sensor's diaphragm is a mechanical part and acceleration can have an influence on measurement. When the sensor is oriented with nozzle down, the accleration force has the same sign as force from pressure change. Circling in thermals will have no significant effect on reading.
The vario is now supplied in a smaller box without software, which needs to be downloaded from {href,http://www.pitlab.com/skyassistant-variometer/download.html,http://www.pitlab.com/skyassistant-variometer/download.html}

{endbullet} F � _� _� � � � � � � � � 2 R��_� `� �`�� PULSAR-3600Pulsar 3.6 eSoarerc The Pulsar 3.6 is a larger version of the highly successful and competition winning Pulsar 3.2 electric R/C glider. The Pulsar 3.6 is probably the lightest high tech full house 3.5m+ electric glider available in the world. It uses the latest Ukrainian composite construction techniques married to a modern aerodynamic design with a wing utilising Mark Drela's slippery AG25 airfoil optimised for high performance thermal duration planes. The low wing loading and generous dihedral gives excellent thermal climb performance, with the fully articulated wing controls allowing the model to be centred accurately in small turbulent thermals. The thin low drag airfoil works well over a surprisingly large speed range, allowing the model to be safely brought back after drifting far downwind. The large flap and ailerons allow steep slow final approaches, allowing even club pilots to score top landng points, and bring home the wood.
Like other highest performance thermal duration sailplanes the entire model is constructed using free-flight techniques. The wing is a balsa built-up carbon fibre and Kevlar D-box design that utilizes carbon capped balsa ribs and a carbon trailing edge. The open section wing and tail are covered with Ultracote Lite.
The fuselage is made of white gel-coated carbon/Kevlar cloth with carbon tapered boom and removable Kevlar/CF nose cone. The three piece wing and 2-piece conventional tail are easily removable for transport and storage. The rudder servo installs in the vertical stab, and the elevator servo fits in the end of the carbon fibre boom.
The fuselage pod is now made from Kevlar so it is 2.4GHz friendly, making the instalation of modern spread spectrum RC straightforward. The careful use of composites, combined with a high quality underlying wood design ensures a lightweight and rigid structure. This is an extremely light, high performance model that has won numerous UK eSoaring contests.

Specifically designed for discus launch gliders (DLGs), the PLD-BAC-004 (BEC Alarm Combo) has been made as small as possible but still packed with needed functionality.
This updated and improved version replaced the original PLD-BAC-001. The 004 version now includes a built in LED for voltage level indication as well as an audio alarm for when things get to the critical stage, and other improvements. The LED flashes the voltage level, so if the battery is 7.2V it will flash 7 times, pause and flash twice more. Also the PLD-BAC-004 has an improved circuit design to give less voltage sagging and lower noise on the signal and power wires.

These bags are well constructed with commercial quality fabric and zippers, and usually available in red and blue. The 110 cm (43") bag is a perfect choice for gliders where the longest wing panel is up to 110 cm long. The bag has three padded compartments and also three smaller pockets for stabs, wing rods or accessories. On the outside an additional lined compartment allows a glider fuselage to be carried externally
These bags pay for themselves in a season by eliminating transportation and storage hangar rash, allowing the model to stay in pristine condition for longer. They also allow more flying as the models can be prepared for flight and put away much more quickly, allowing an extra one or two flights per flying session. Also the fact that the model is enclosed in the bag while in the back of the car reduces the chance of theft.

The advanced design by Dr Mark Drela gives excellent performance as a highly competitive 2m thermal soarer. By combining low weight and large ballast compartment the Sprite Thermal is equally at home in calm and windy conditions. Its well-balanced controls, excellent speed range, and outstanding thermal soaring capability make it particularly attractive to expert flyers who are looking for 3m performance in a conveniently compact 2m package.
Like other VM models the Sprite is optionally available with servo frames with bearings and internal IDS linkages ready fitted. This simplifies installing the RC massively. Whether these have been fitted or not is indicated with text like {i, Aileron and Flap IDS fitted for MKS 6100} below the colour in the {i, Available Options} area below the price. The number refers to the servo family, in this case MKS DS6100 or MKS HV6100 servos. Other servos will generally not work as the servo splines are incompatible between KST, MKS, Futaba, Hitec, etc.
The Sprite Thermal has a polyhedral wing with an EDA of 5 degrees, making it very easy to thermal, even at the limits of visibility. The AG40/41/42/43 section hollow molded wings have carbon spars and large ailerons and flaps, extending the speed range at the low and high speed ends of the polar. The fuselage is fitted with a ballast tube so adding ballast weight is easy, further improving the speed range.
The attractive Kevlar fuselage and removable carbon canopy hatch are highly streamlined producing an extremely low drag and sleek pod. The molded-in wing pylon reduces interference drag and the long high modulus carbon tail boom and conventional cruciform tail ensure excellent handling. The molded tail assembly holds the superbly engineered all flying tail mount. The model is easily transported with its two-piece wings and removable tail.
In addition to the exceptional design the other outstanding characteristic of the Sprite is the very, very, very complete build done at the factory, with the following items already fitted to perfection: canopy, large ballast tube, tow hook, tailboom, tailplane mount, and rudder and elevator Bowden cables. The only work required is gluing the fin and fitting the RC.

Post by RCGroups member <b>jtlsf5</b> after his maiden flights with his new Sprite Thermal:
<i>Caught a break on the weather today. After way too many days of steady rain, it cleared, giving me a chance to fly the Sprite. Went to my local community college flying site with a zip start and set up. Three flights and a little over an hour of air time later, I'm a believer. Launches were high and straight with the tow hook all the way back, and the ship needed very little trim to settle in. Great little plane. Agile, efficient, signals lift well, lands like a feather. This is a keeper. My 95 mm CG seems pretty close with just a little pull up in the dive test. One thing I did find was that after setting up aileron-rudder coupling proportional to my Supra, the Sprite wanted about 15% more. With that dialled in, turns were smooth and clean. --Jim</i>

The advanced design by Dr Mark Drela gives excellent performance as a highly competitive electric 2m thermal soarer. With its high strength and reasonably spacious pod the Sprite Thermal-e can be used with powerful electric power systems that require beefy batteries. Alternatively the Sprite Thermal-e low weight also allows smaller powertrains to be used, to maximise its thermal soaring capabilities.
Like other VM models the Sprite is optionally available with servo frames with bearings and internal IDS linkages ready fitted. This simplifies installing the RC massively. Whether these have been fitted or not is indicated with text like {i, Aileron and Flap IDS fitted for MKS 6100} below the colour in the {i, Available Options} area below the price. The number refers to the servo family, in this case MKS DS6100 or MKS HV6100 servos. Other servos will generally not work as the servo splines are incompatible between KST, MKS, Futaba, Hitec, etc.
The Sprite Thermal-e's low drag gives it an excellent speed range makes it equally at home in calm and windy conditions, and makes hotliner style aerobatics a pleasure. With the power off its well-balanced controls and soaring optimised wing give it an outstanding thermal soaring capability and make it particularly attractive to expert flyers who are looking for 3m performance in a conveniently compact 2m package.
The Sprite Thermal-e version has a polyhedral wing with an EDA of 5 degrees, making it very easy to thermal, even at the limits of visibility. The AG40/41/42/43 section hollow moulded wings have carbon spars and large ailerons and flaps, extending the speed range at the low and high speed ends of the polar.
The attractive Kevlar fuselage and removable carbon canopy hatch are highly streamlined producing an extremely low drag and sleek pod, with fast convenient access to the flight battery. The molded-in wing pylon reduces interference drag and the long high modulus carbon tail boom and conventional cruciform tail ensure excellent handling. The molded tail assembly holds the superbly engineered all flying tail mount, with room for the elevator and rudder servos. The model is easily transported with its two-piece wings and removable tail.
In addition to the exceptional design the other outstanding characteristic of the Sprite is the very, very, very complete build done at the factory, with the following items already fitted to perfection: canopy, tailboom, and tailplane mount. The only work required is gluing in the fin and fitting the RC and powertrain.
These are available in glass or spread carbon layup. The spread carbon Sprite Hot-e models are very strong and light. The models now come with wing bags so there is no need to order these separately.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � R��� X � �b�� SUPRA-E-COMP-LITE!Supra-e Pro Competition Ultralite� The {b,Supra-e Pro Competition Ultralite} is a special light weight version of the electric Supra optimised for electric power, making it suitable for F5J type electric r/c thermal soaring competitions. It has glass and Kevlar skins and a reduced thickness spar. This version <i>is only suitable for electric thermal soaring</i> and is not warranted for hotliner type high energy flight.
The benefits of this version are:
{bullet}
Fuse pod designed for a geared electric motors with a removable canopy hatch for easy access to the batteries and motor.
New Ultralight fin with built-up rudder, modified to allow the tail servos to be rear mounted, to give more space for the powertrain in the pod, and to aide with correct centre of gravity placement. (Not shown in flying photos.)
New Ultralight built-up tailplane (horizontal stabiliser). This is lighter and slightly larger, improving stability and reducing inertia.
Now supplied with a lightweight wiring loom for the fuselage and wing connections.
Specially designed T800 wing spar sized to withstand the forces required for a lightweight electric thermal soarer only - not two man F3J tows! This saves considerable weight and improves climb and glide performance. For massive dives and high G aerobatics a Supra-e Glass or Supra-e Spread Carbon is recommended.
{endbullet}
These improvements allow the plane to excel in the UK's eSoaring and the new FAI F5J class. This lighter version will also be attractive to all pilot who prefer a lower weight model that excels in typical weak lift conditions, yet has the speed range to cope with 25mph winds with ease.
The wing skin is a very rigid and tough glass/rohacell/glass sandwich with special lightweight high modulus T800 carbon spar.
<img src="\extras\Supra-Glass-Light-Graphic.jpg" alt="Supra Ultralite wing construction">
The model is supplied with wing connection plugs and sockets and partial wiring harness for connecting up the tail servos. See the {plink,SUPRA-E-LOOM, Supra-e Servo Harness} product page.

; 6� Brass bJ � . � ��r�� PLD-BAC-ESJ-LMA7LiPo Regulator, Lost Model Alarm & Ultra Reliable Swich� If you take the existing PLD-BAC-ESJ and add a lost model alarm facility, you end up with the PLD-BAC-ESJ-LMA.
The BAC-ESJ-LMA (BEC Alarm Combo) has been made as small as possible but still packed with needed functionality and now provides LED and audio indication of battery status, lost model alarm and most significant of all, now an electronic switchjack and charger combo port.
With the new ESJ combination, you can now switch on/off and charge your plane all with a single 3.5mm plug-socket. Inserting the plug turns off the unit, after which you can then charge your lipo via the 2-wire plug. To turn on the machine, simply remove the plug from the socket.
Specifications:
Very low weight - 8.5g
Very small - 28 x 12.5 x 10mm
2S lipo input
5V output
LED-blink voltage state indicator (full scale)
Over voltage alarm (Vin > 8.5V)
Under voltage alarm (Vin < 7.2V)
Lost model alarm (servo pulses less than 1300uS)
Buzzer alarm
1A linear BEC for minimum RF interference
Extensive decoupling for even quieter RF levels
250mA constant supply, 500mA for 1 minute, 1A for 10 seconds (thermally limited - better cooling gives longer duration)
Thermal and short circuit protection
High quality, low power, low (RF) noise micro controller
Large copper backplane to improve heat-sinking of linear regulator.
Supplied with 100mm RX lead, 100mm female JST battery lead and combo charge/switch plug. 7 � _� � � � � � � � � � 2 R��� 6 � �`�� VIGOR-VS-12M(Vigor VS-12M Servo - 8.7mm 8.1g 1.5Kgcm The Vigor VS-12M is an ultra thin servo ideal for glider wings and tails. It is comparable with the well regarded SD150 (or D60), but is in fact thinner, lighter, and more powerful.
Despite the Vigor VS-12M's small size its substantial bronze gears are reasonably free of backlash and capable of withstanding large shock loads. The good quality motor and electronics ensure excellent repeatability and temperature stability.
At only 8.7mm thick this wing servo can easily fit in thin high performance glider wings and tails. With 1.5kg.cm torque the VS-12M is appropriate for a large range of high performance DLGs and electric gliders weighing up to about 600g. It is an ideal replacement for the Ripmax SD150 / Dymond D60 servo.
Note Vigor VS-12M servos do not have conventional mounting tabs. They can be wrapped in tape (or heatshrink) and glued into place, or mounted using the two 4mm OD 13mm pitch spigots on the bottom. If these are not required they can be cut off.

Plane Quiver II has been further improved to become the pre-eminent glider bags available, with unsurpassed quality. These bags are designed to protect and transport two 4 meter sailplanes or up to four 79" wings... They have been designed to be flexible, functional and durable while providing protection for those valuable sailplanes.
* Outside Dimensions: 80" Length, 13" Height 6-8" Width
* Inside Dimensions: 79 " Length, 11.5 Height 6-8" Width
* Built in Fuse Sock on top of the quiver to eliminate the possibility of dragging the tail fins on the ground during transport.
* Extra width has been added if you choose to stuff more than the recommended two planes.
* Storage: You can hang the wings and fuses together.
Plane quiver is one of the strongest bags on the market with lots of added reinforcement to extend the life of the bag while providing maximum protection for the planes. Double stitched and reinforced liners throughout especially in the high stress areas of the bag like the handles and the storage hook.
This bag has been carefully engineered to be durable, strong and flexible. The workmanship on these bags are unmatched by any other bag available today.
A unique Fuse Sock has been placed on top of the quiver. This will enable you to transport up to two full sized 3m fuselage safely on one bag. Two nylon synch fasteners have been sewn into the sock and the bag to keep the fuses secure during transport.
High quality 600 Denier Polyester with interwoven PVC laminate fabric will not fade and is totally waterproof and easy to clean. Polyester has proven to be more UV and fade resistant than nylon. Polyester has PVC laminated into the cloth unlike coated nylon which have polyurethane coatings that peel off during use and washing. These bags are very durable and were designed to protect valuable wings during transportation to your flying site or storage.
Reinforced Tubing Handles and Straps:Two Ergonomically placed reinforced tubing handles have been added to make transporting planes easier and more comfortable. Plastic tubes have been added to provided additional comfort for those long walks to the flying site.

The Vigor VS-12M is an ultra thin yet very powerful servo ideal for glider wings and tails. It is comparable with the well regarded SD150 (or D60), but is in fact thinner, lighter, and more powerful.
Despite the Vigor VS-12M's small size its substantial bronze gears are reasonably free of backlash and capable of withstanding large shock loads. The high quality motor and electronics ensure excellent accuracy, repeatability, and temperature stability.
At only 8.7mm thick this superb wing servo can easily fit in thin high performace glider wings and tails. With a powerful 1.5kg.cm torque the VS-12M is approriate for a large range of high performance electric gliders and DLGs.
Note Vigor VS-12M servos do not have conventional mounting tabs. They can be wrapped in tape (or heatshrink) and glued into place, or mounted using the two 4mm OD 13mm pitch spigots on the bottom. If these are not required they can be cut off.
This is an ideal replacement servo for the Ripmax SD150, the Dymond D60, or the LSX180.

Stark Pro F3K" The LD Models {b,Stark Pro} is a high performance 1.5m DLG capable of the top level performance without breaking the bank. It is optimised for higher launches and a wide speed range.
The new fuselage has a slightly more spacious pod to accomodate all the servos, helping with ballance and reducing the all up weight.
The Stark Pro is available in two versions:
{b,Checkerboard Spread Carbon layup wing.} This is the standard option and weighs about 15 g more than the Light SC but is bullet proof and suitable for all throwers and all conditions. The stronger layup makes it especially good for slope usage.
{b,Light Spread Carbon layup wing.} This Vladimir veil type SC gives a very light wing that is suitable for most conditions though perhaps not a very powerful thrower with ballast. The SC is a very light weave and it is normal to see the occasional gap between the strands.
The Stark Pro is ideal for customers looking for maximum flying performance and model toughness, for the money. The finish of the parts is less good than some competing DLGs but this does not affect the performance in any way.
The model comes with a servo tray, control horns and a nice throwing blade. Pushrod and/or pull-spring wire needs to be supplied by the builder. We recommend our {pref,BOWDEN-CABLE-08-14,HyperFlight 0.8/1.4 Pushrod Set} and {pref, PIANO-WIRE-20, 20 SWG piano wire}.

The {b,Fireworks 4.2 Disser} is a high launching very competitive discus launched glider from the renouned manufacturer PCM. It is a well proven design with Drela airfoils, a lightweight low drag structure, and forgiving handling. The wing uses the modern �disser� layup of diagonally laid carbon tows. This gives maximum torsional rigidity with a minimal weight.
The conservatively tapered one piece wing has 7 degrees of dihedral, which gives good stability, allowing it to be flown to the limit of vision with confidence. Its thin high performance airfloils and large camber changing flaperons give the Fireworks 4.2 a good speed range, though it is best in winds below 15mph.
This very lightweight model is supplied with a beautifully engineered and finished hollow molded carbon fin and tailplane (horizontal stabiliser, elevator), not balsa built-up as shown in some photos on the web. The all flying tailplane's mount and actuation mechanism is built into the lower fin, giving a very low drag, and with no work required by the builder. Generally the model is highly finished, and little effort is reqired to get the DLG flying.
The Fireworks 4.2 Disser is an excellent choice for a modeller looking for a very easy to fly discus launched glider that also offers excellent performance.

Combining the exceptionally popular <i>LiPo Regulator & Alarm</i> and the <i>Ultra Reliable Electronic On/Off Switch</i>, the <b>LiPo Regulator, Alarm & Ultra Reliable Switch</b> incorporates a LiPo regulator, low voltage alarm, bullet proof on/off switch, and charging port into one tiny unit. This device is ideal for DLG and other small planes, solving most RC power problems and making things even easier for you.
With the new ESJ combination, you can now switch on/off and charge your plane all with a single 3.5mm plug-socket. Inserting the plug turns off the unit, after which you can then charge your lipo via the 2-wire plug. To turn on the machine, simply remove the plug from the socket.
Like the PLD-BAC-55 the PLD-BAC-ESJ6 offers more decoupling to give you less voltage sagging and lower noise on the signal and power wires. Also like the PLD-BAC-55 this unit provides 5.5V to the RC gear, increasing servo speed and receiver reliability.

New 4m version of the AVA. As the construction manual isn't yet ready we recommend this plane for more advanced modellers only.
The Hyper AVA-e Pro is a special 4m version of the AVA-e optimised for the UK eSoaring competition class. This ultimate electric floater is THE plane for the r/c glider pilot who wants to stay up even longer.
This version of the AVA also has improved twin spoilers, set out at the end of the centre section. These spoilers do not affect the airflow over the tail, and the pitch change on deployment is more linear, and very much reduced, allowing more accurate landings. The longer tail boom improves stability, but does require more planning during assembly, to obtain a correct centre of gravity position.

In 2010 Vladimir's Models began a series of experiments to create an extra light carbon fabric. After numerous tests they perfected the design for a machine to spread carbon fibre tows to a thickness of 0.02 mm. This allowed the company to create a triaxial fabric from extra strength carbon fibres with a weight as low as 26 g/m�. This tri-axial spread carbon weighs 58 g/m�.
Today this fabric is used not only in Vladimir's Models planes but is also used by many other model and sports equipment manufacturers who demand the best, lightest, and strongest carbon for their products.
Now this high-strength fabric using IMS65 carbon fibres is accessible also to you.
Two sizes of Carboline sheet are available. Please select the required size using the radio buttons below the price. Delivered rolled, supported by orange peel ply fabric.

The assembly is completely finished with the firewall fitted, the wing mounting bolts molded in, and the elevator bowden cable bonded in place. The very smooth molded wing is of glass and carbon construction, with the ailerons ready hinged, and with the aileron torque rods completely fitted. The tailplane is also molded, with the elevator ready hinged. The only construction required is gluing the elevator control horn and fitting the RC.
We love fitting a folding prop, and flying the Sokol as a mini hotliner. It climbs and zooms brilliantly, but doesn't thermal quite as well as an {pref,Elf, Elf}!

All this data is then logged to the Micro SD card, and optionally announced over the radio link, allowing the pilot to <b>hear</b> altitude, airspeed, rate of climb/descent, motor current, and motor voltage.
{bullet}
Clear announcements of altitude, voltage, and glitches.
Four R/C selected announcement modes - all include R/C voltage and failsafe warnings.
Normal mode announces the model's altitude whenever it crosses a 100 ft threshold.
�Integral� altitude change mode announces altitude change from 20 seconds ago - excellent for plane tuning and scratching.
Special mode for tuning the climb rate when flying electric gliders - now you can optimise your angle of climb real-time.
Use the R/C link to have your model's altitude announced on demand.
Saves the minimum voltage and maximum altitude, and announces them the next time the vario is switched on - great for bragging rights and safety.
Quiet mode only announces when the R/C voltage drops or if the radio link is lost - excellent for aerobatics.
Transmits it to the walkie-talkie ground station on one of 69 channels on the UK/EU legal 433MHz band.
Very sensitive 5cm/s (10 ft per minute) pressure sensor allows even the smallest and weakest bubbles to be detected.
Fast acting tonal (duut, duut, dut, dut, dit, dit) output gives immediate indications of lift and sink.
Operates in feet or meter units
Weighs only 27g (1oz)
Operates on a 4.5V to 9V supply, so can be used with 4 or 5 cell NiXX receiver packs or a 2S LiPo pack.
Draws only 75mA, so operates for approx 2 hours on a 7g 2S 145mAh LiPo pack.
Short 7" flexible wire antenna.
Out of sight 1.2 mile range.

�� ��r�� BOLEROBolero 2.3m Short Kitv
The Bolero is a top level electric thermal glider for F5J and eSoaring type competitions. The Bolero was designed by the highly acclaimed Palo Lish�k and is a strongly optimised design with a thin, low drag Drela airfoil for penetration in stronger winds, and a light wing loading and high aspect ratio for low min sink.
The Bolero short kit includes laser cut ribs, beautiful curved laminated fin and tailplane leading edges, a well molded fuselage pod with a silver molded canopy, and a carbon fibre tailboom and wing spars. The motor and tailboom mount bulkheads, and control horns are also included. Sheet wood and other items to complete the Bolero will need to be sourced by the builder to keep the costs down. The two sheet plan shows the wood in metric sizes, but it will be possible to substitute imperial thickness wood without problems. However we do not recommend this kit for beginners.
The prototype was powered by a NEU 1110 with 5.8:1 gearbox pushing an Aeronaut 12x8 prop in conjunction with a 3S 1.2ah 20C LiPo. Climb was close to 20m/sec (4000 fpm) on a fully charged battery. However it would be possible to fit a small economical outrunner motor.

<b>USB Interface Installation Instructions</b>
There are two steps to install the USB upload cable. First, the proper software drivers must be available so that your computer can recognize and install the cable when it�s plugged in. Second, you must determine what COM port Windows has assigned to the cable and set FlightView to match using the Setup menu.
If you�re running Windows 7 and connected to the internet, there�s a good chance that the USB driver will install automatically when the RAM3 USB Interface is plugged into the PC. If not please go to <a href="http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm" target="_new">www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm</a> and download and install the driver appropriate for your operating system.
Once the driver is installed and the RAM3 USB interface has been recognised open the Windows Device Manager and look for the Ports (COM & LPT) entry. Expand this entry and you should see a USB Serial Port line followed by the COM port assignment. If the COM port number is greater than 9 click on the Advanced button on the Port Settings tab and change it to 9. Make note of the number and then run FlightView and use Setup => Com Port to set the COM port to match.

It features an advanced design by Joe Wurts, the legendary Word Championship winner of all glider classes, and professional aerodynamicist. Joe spent many months optimising the Maxa for the F3J thermal soaring class, but the large size, light weight, high aspect ratio, and well cambered airfoils also makes it ideal for electric thermal soaring, especially the new FAI F5J class and the popular UK eSoaring class.
The large size and extreme light weight have been made possible by a new spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko and made by specially designed machines in his impressive fabrication facility. The wing is a monocoque structure with a skin of a double layer of spread carbon strengthened with a F3J strength spar made with a multi-ply 45� balsa and carbon shear web between substantial IMS 65 carbon spar caps. We are mostly stocking the "Light" (which used to be called the Hard Spread carbon) version. The even stronger slightly heavier "Windy" (double Hard Spread carbon) version is available to order if not in stock.
In mid 2012 the tailplane (called horizontal stabiliser or elevator in some countries) size was increased by about 10%. The latest 2013 Maxa 4 models include a 13 cm longer tailboom to further increase stability and controllability. We are of course stocking this improved version only, which Vladimir is calling "Maxa 4e Long Tail". To ensure that handling is kept sweet in the rear servo electric version we highly recommend that lightweight tail servos are used and ultralight tail extension leads are made up.

Cut away drawing of the Maxa spar, showing the IMS 65 carbon spar caps, amd the +/- 45� balsa/carbon/balsa ply spar web.
{img, extras/F3J-Maxa-spar.jpg,Maxa spar construction}
The fuselage is a well engineered Kevlar and carbon pod, with a diagonally wound spread carbon boom, and fin mounted cruciform tail. The model is totally complete, and almost no assembly is required. The tail pushrods are ready installed, and all the hardware is supplied for the wing servo installation. The model comes with a ballast tube (for windy conditions) and a wiring harness.
The Maxa 4e is the first high performance glider designed from the start for the new F5J rules, whose main requirement is reliable soaring from low altitude, as higher {i,Start Heights} count against the final score. The 30 second climb window is generous, so high-power heavy motors are not required, and the model can be kept very light.
{bullet}
The Maxa�s aerodynamic qualities have been modelled to a new level of accuracy and by Joe Wurts. In the process Joe designed a new family of airfoils and optimised the shape of the model to get the best from the new spread carbon composites being developed by Vladimir. The result is a very low sink rate that ensures the longest duration in no-thermal conditions, while also maintaining gentle handling that inspires confidence from the first flight.
The Maxa�s low wing loading and inertia makes it very respond to tiny air disturbances, allowing small bubbles to be detected and worked from low down, allowing low Start heights and high F5J scores.
The Maxa 4e�s large span allows it to be seen further away than smaller models, allowing a larger volume of air to be searched, and thermals worked for longer. This is especially important for the 15 minute flyoff task.
The excellent lift/drag ratio, especially at higher speeds, gives good penetration, and thus the ability for the glider to return from distant thermals with little altitude loss.
The long nose moment allows very lightweight powertrains to be used to balance the model.
As the electric version retains the ballast system of the glider version, the model�s weight can be tuned to the conditions, allowing the Maxa to shine in even the strongest wind.
{endbullet}
This combination of state of the art aerodynamics, low weight, and a good size makes the Maxa 4e the best model for competitive F5J soaring, bar none.

} � } � � A(� � � � � � � � � b� > �� �b�� BLASTER-2-LITEBlaster 2 Lite DLG� The <b>Blaster 2 Lite</b> is a special lighter verson of the Blaster2 DLG, with a fixed fin only - no rudder. This saves weight and for some pilots allows higher launches. Also the elevator pushrod is ultra lightweigt, and the aileron servos can be optionally mounted in the pod. All these bring the centre of gravity forward, allowing less noseweight.
The Blaster-2 Lite is a high tech F3K r/c hand launched glider utilising airfoils designed specially for DLGs by Mark Drela. The hollow-molded wing is made in CNC machined molds to ensure the airfoils are reproduced accurately, and the potential performance is fully achieved. The elliptical planform and transitioning airfoils give the wing a very high efficiency, together with excellent handling characteristic and a benign stall.
The superbly finished one piece wing comes complete with a moulded-in aerodynamic winglet for tip launching. The wing also has pre-cut servo mounts and bottom hinged generously sized flaperons, to allow the model to be slowed down to a crawl for hand catching. This high level of prefabrication makes the glider especially strong, clean, and easy to build.
The wing skin is a very rigid and tough glass/rohacel/glass sandwich with a substantial carbon spar.
<img src="extras/blaster-wing-all.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The glass skin is laid at 45 degrees to eliminate twisting and maximise launch height. The carbon braid reinforced shear web is bonded to the substantial carbon spar caps, resulting in a light but strong spar.
<img src="extras/blaster-spar.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The living skin hinged flaperons have a rohacel core and a very sharp trailing edge to minimise drag.
<img src="extras/blaster-wing-flap.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The spacious pod is Kevlar reinforced with a horizontal strip of carbon fibre extending back to the boom, and is covered by removable nose cone to keep the front end clean and maintain laminar flow. The pod includes a wing mounting pylon to reduce interference drag, and fairs smoothly into the generously sized and very stiff carbon tailboom.
A lightweight v-mount keeps the full flying tailplane out of the disturbed airflow, and gives the pilot excellent low drag pitch control.

It is designed for 540 sized RC car motors, and will not fit many RC plane motors of this size, due to their 5mm shafts. However it is comparatively easy to drill the back-plate so that 400/480 sized motors (with their 1/8" shafts) can be fitted.
The geardrive is all ballraced and has a hardened steel shaft and gears, and an alloy casing.
<b>Benefits</b>
{bullet}
The 6.7:1 high reduction ratio allows smaller, higher Kv motors to be used, saving weight, money, and improving electrical efficiency.
The large propellers that can be used with this gearbox increase the propulsive efficiency of the model, allowing smaller battery packs to be used, saving more weight.
Metal gears and ball raced bearings ensure the gearbox has a very high mechanical efficiency.
The substantially sized case and shaft ensure it will
survive most unplanned arrivals!

These bags are well constructed with commercial quality fabric and zippers, and usually available in red and blue. The 125 cm (49") bag is a perfect choice for gliders where the longest wing panel is up to 125 cm long. The bag has three padded compartments and also three smaller pockets for stabs, wing rods or accessories. On the outside an additional lined compartment allows a glider fuselage to be carried externally
These bags pay for themselves in a season by eliminating transportation and storage hangar rash, allowing the model to stay in pristine condition for longer. They also allow more flying as the models can be prepared for flight and put away much more quickly, allowing an extra one or two flights per flying session. Also the fact that the model is enclosed in the bag while in the back of the car reduces the chance of theft.

�� ��b� SPINNER-README"HyperSpinner FAQ - READ THIS FIRST <B>Frequently Asked Questions</B>
<B>What is a cranked hub?</B>
It is the offsetting of the blades, when looked at from the front. For this reason some manufacturers call them Offset Hubs.
<B>What is the benefit of a cranked hub?</B>
It helps the prop blades sit closer to the fuselage, reducing drag.
<B>What is a twisted hub?</B>
All of our hubs are cranked, but some are also twisted. This is when the hinge pin is set at a small angle to the disk of rotation, to alter the average pitch of the prop blades.
<B>What is the benefit of a twisted hub?</B>
It is to change the effective pitch of the prop blades. All our HyperSpinners that have twist have a positive twist, so the pitch of the blades is increased. This is useful if you cannot find a prop with a high enough pitch. This is the only reason for using a hub with a twist.
<B>Does the cranked hub put any extra stress on the blades?</B>
Yes, there is some evidence that the cranked nature of these spinners DOES increase the stress on the blades. To be on the safe side we recommend that the max safe RPM of the blades is reduced by 25% below the manufacturer's normal recommendation.
<B>What folding prop blades are these spinners compatible with?</B>
They are compatible with the great majority of folding prop blades produced, including those by Aeronaut, Graupner, and RFM. The 8mm blade root and 3mm hole size are a standard that is used by prop blade manufacturers for most or all of their range.
<B>Why don't the prop blades open fully?</B>
Sometimes the plastic spinner cone stops the blade fully opening. This can happen because the blade root is thicker than usual, and it may cause the prop to vibrate or operate at lower efficiency. To allow the blades to fully open cut away the spinner cone with a sharp modelling knife, until the blades can swing freely. They should be able to open at least 90 degrees to the prop shaft.
<B>How do I secure the spinner to the motor shaft</B>
Sometimes the spinner keeps coming loose on the motor shaft, even though the Allen key grub screws have been tightened fully. In this case it is best to file or grind a "flat" on the motor shaft using a grinding wheel or good quality file. It is best if the flat does not extend all the way to the end of the shaft, so even if the grub screw comes a bit loose the spinner won't be able to come off. At HyperFlight we are not sure of the benefit of having two grub screws opposing each other, giving two points of contact. We think one grub screw may be better giving one point and one surface contact. Hence we only use one screw, and file one flat on the motor shaft. Keep the other grub screw as a spare.
<B>What colour cone is supplied & available?</B>
All spinners are supplied with <b>black</b> cones, not white as shown in many of the illustrations. Extra cones are available in yellow, red, and orange, to match the Vladimir's Models standard gel coat colours. Get them from the <a HREF="products.asp?cat=Spinners+%26+Props&subcat=Spinner+Accessories"><b><font color="#990000">Spinner Accessories</font></b></a> section.
<B>Which spinner cones fit the various yokes?</B>
There are three sizes of yokes
30/32 - for 30 mm and 32 mm spinners - fit 30 mm and 32 mm cones
32P - for 32 mm Power spinners - fit 32 mm cones only
38 - for all 38 mm spinners- fit 38 mm cones only
<B>What is the spinner cone material?</B>
The cone is made from high strength glass/carbon reinforced polyamide plastic.
<B>How do I work out the pitch of a prop with a twisted yoke spinner?</B>
The new pitch of a prop blade when used with a twisted yoke spinner is dependent on the diameter and original pitch. We wrote an online spreadsheet to calculate the new pitch, you can access by <a HREF="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AlkF0ESuxR83cG9wYjdkdEZaeU50NmdxMVVqUWRYVkE&hl=en
" target="_new"><b><font color="#990000">clicking here.</font></b></a>
<B>Are spinner accessories and spares available?</B>
Yes. Get them from the <a HREF="products.asp?cat=Spinners+%26+Props&subcat=Spinner+Accessories"><b><font color="#990000">Spinner Accessories</font></b></a> section.
<B>What does the "Turbo" front hole do?</B>
Tests have shown that a rotating spinner acts as a centrifugal pump, expelling all air at its periphery. We have heard of instances where a rotating spinner pulled air backwards though the fuselage, and out through the spinner gap. However the main benefit is when the motor has stopped, by letting pitot pressure air get into the fuselage, improving the flow of cooling air though the fuselage, as long as adequate exit vents have been installed. These should preferably be backward facing, in low pressure areas - not under the wing. Of course there must be suitable holes in the motor firewall for this to work.
<B>I have another question, can you answer it?</B>
Yes. Please use the <a HREF="products.asp?page=contact"><b><font color="#990000">contact form</font></b></a> or <a HREF="mailto:sales@hyperflight.co.uk"><b><font color="#990000">email us.</font></b></a> � � � � � � � � � � � W�<o � � ��r� CARBON20Claim your 20% Discount7 To make our carbon rod, strip and tube even more attractive to discerning customers we are now offering 20% discounts on larger purchases.

" � < � � $<� � � � � � � � ^ x c,��� `� �`� AVA-PROAVA Pro 3.2m Glider The Vladimir's Models <b>AVA Pro</b> is a wonderfully stable thermal duration (TD) model suitable for near beginners and competition fliers alike, and the simple rudder, elevator, spoiler controls make it supremely easy to fly. Its light weight, prodigious strength, and state of the art design result in unequalled performance.
The <b>AVA Pro</b> is an improved version of the world renowned AVA. Probably no rudder-elevator-spoiler (RES) glider has a better reputation and a more illustrious contest record than the AVA, so improving this already superb model is no mean feat. However Vladimir has incorporated these very significant upgrades in the AVA Pro:
- The thinner fuselage pod with a carefully engineered wing pylon reduces interference drag. The drooped nose eliminates skidding on landing, improving competition landing scores.
- The AVA Pro wing planform has been optimised to be more elliptical, and the construction of the tip panels improved to utilise a carbon D-box to be stiffer and stronger. The better adherence to the airfoil profile also gives a useful drag reduction.
- The single central spoiler has been replaced by two smaller spoilers, these don't interfere with the flow over the tailplane, reducing the pitch change and making accurate landings child's play.
- The AVA Pro's tailplane has an improved planform and carbon D-box construction, increasing strength and reducing trim drag.
- The new fin has also been changed to use a molded fixed portion, with a lower drag tailboom attachment that incorporates a very clever quick release mechanism, to make the AVA Pro more transportable.
- The fuselage pod has been totally redesigned to use a beautifully executed canopy hatch rather than a sheath nosecone, improving usability on the field.
- The tailboom has been strengthened and stiffened.
- Improved provision for up to 480g of ballast.
- The adjustable tow hook allows the launch to be optimised, giving very high and fast straight launches. The rigid structure and low drag airfoils allow huge zooms, and the low wing loading ensures a very low min sink, and the ability to climb away in the weakest of thermals.
On the construction side, Vladimir has taken the build to a new level of completeness, so the AVA Pro can be assembled in only a few hours. New work done by Vladimir to speed AVA Pro final assembly:
- The wing spoiler horns have been fitted, and the spoiler servo wires threaded into place.
- All pushrods and horns have been fabricated, wires bent, etc.
- Fitting the servos in the pod has been simplified with a custom molded servo mount that is removable for servo and battery fitting and maintenance.
The only work required to compete the model is to glue the boom to the pod, attach the fin quick release clip, optionally fix the ballast tube, and fit the tow hook & RC gear.

<b>History</b>
The AVA Pro is an evolutionary improvement of the AVA, which was itself based on the revolutionary Bubble Dancer designed by Dr Mark Drela. The AVA was an implementation of Mark Drela�s design using the free flight type construction techniques invented in Eastern Europe, and perfected by Vladimir. Like the Simply the Best and Organic ranges the AVA Pro wing has carbon capped ribs and a Kevlar D box. Allied to a substantial Kevlar wrapped carbon spar this results in a very rigid and almost unbreakable structure.
The aerodynamics are outstanding, utilising specially designed airfoils (no doubt in Xfoil, written by Mark Drela himself when he was a student), and a low drag V mounted tail plane, the AVA has a measured sink rate of 0.3m/s (60 ft per minute). The AVA Pro glider can be built down to 41.3oz, however despite the low wing loading the plane can cope with 15mph winds with ease.
Many have asked about the underslung fin. There is no need to worry, in all the years we have been selling the AVA and the AVA Pro not a single person has reported a broken fin or boom.

Its light weight, prodigious strength, extreme low wing loading and high aspect ratio result in unequalled performance. Even more importantly, its large silhouette allows the model to be seen at extreme range, allowing thermals to be followed further downwind and higher than would be the case in a smaller model.

<b>History</b>
The Super AVA Pro is an evolutionary improvement of the Super AVA, which was itself a stretched version of the revolutionary Bubble Dancer designed by Dr Mark Drela. The AVA was an implementation of Mark Drela�s design using the free flight type construction techniques invented in Eastern Europe, and perfected by Vladimir. Like the Simply the Best and Organic ranges the super AVA Pro wing has carbon capped ribs and a Kevlar D box. Allied to a substantial Kevlar wrapped carbon spar this results in a very rigid and almost unbreakable structure.
The aerodynamics are outstanding, utilising specially designed airfoils (no doubt in Xfoil, written by Mark Drela himself when he was a student), and a low drag V mounted tail plane, the Super AVA has a measured sink rate of 0.3m/s (60 ft per minute). The Super AVA Pro glider can be built down to 48oz, however despite the low wing loading the plane can cope with 15mph winds with ease.
Many have asked about the underslung fin. There is no need to worry, in all the years we have been selling the AVA and the AVA Pro not a single person has reported a broken fin or boom.

� `� �`� AVA-PRO-EAVA Pro-e Electric 3.2mM The Vladimir's Models <b>AVA Pro-e</b> is an improved version of the world renowned electric AVA. Probably no rudder-elevator-spoiler (RES) eSoarer has a better reputation and a more illustrious contest record than the AVA, so improving this already superb model is no mean feat. However Vladimir has incorporated these very significant upgrades in the AVA Pro-e:
- The electric fuselage pod has been totally redesigned to use a beautifully executed canopy hatch rather than a nosecone, allowing the battery to be inserted and connected easily, improving usability on the field. Also the very slim pod has a carefully engineered wing pylon to reduce interference drag.
- The AVA Pro-e wing planform has been optimised to be more elliptical, and the construction of the tip panels improved to utilise a carbon D-box to be stiffer and stronger. The better adherence to the airfoil profile also gives a useful drag reduction.
- The single central spoiler has been replaced by two smaller spoilers, these don't interfere with the flow over the tailplane, reducing the pitch change and making accurate landings child's play.
- The AVA Pro's tailplane has an improved planform and carbon D-box construction, increasing strength and reducing trim drag.
- The new fin has also been changed to use a molded fixed portion, with a lower drag tailboom attachment that incorporates a very clever quick release mechanism, to make the AVA Pro-e more transportable.
- The tailboom has been strengthened and stiffened.
- The long pod allows large propellers to be fitted, and the rigid structure allows kilowatt class powertrains to be installed giving ultra fast climbs. The low wing loading ensures a very low min sink, and the ability to climb away in the weakest of thermals.
On the construction side, Vladimir has taken the build to a new level of completeness, so the AVA Pro can be assembled in only a few hours. New work done by Vladimir to speed AVA Pro final assembly:
- The wing spoiler horns have been fitted, and the spoiler servo wires threaded into place.
- All pushrods and horns have been fabricated, wires bent, etc.
- Fitting the servos in the fin has been simplified.
The only work required to compete the model is to glue the boom to the pod, attach the V mount and fin quick release clip, and install the powertrain & RC gear.
The AVA Pro-e is a stable thermal duration eSoaring model suitable for near beginners and competition fliers alike, and the simple rudder, elevator, spoiler controls make it supremely easy to fly. Its light weight, prodigious strength, and state of the art design result in unequalled performance.

This allows it to be used with a 2S LiPo receiver battery without a voltage regulator, reducing cost and increasing reliability - and allowing useful rx battery voltage info to be transmitted back to the pilot when using modern telemetry radios.
The Dynond D60 is a precision 9 g analogue servo with a good torque and excellent centring. It has a low backlash geartrain and can be used for all control surfaces. Suitable for models weighing up to 2 Kg.
Another benefit of the D60 is the very low operating current. This increases the flight time of the model by about 40% in comparison to a similar digital servo.

This is both an attitude logger and a height limiter.
It works by being daisy chained between the receiver and the motor speed control, and cutting the receiver's throttle signal when the reduced barometric pressure indicates the model is at (or near to) the predetermined cut off altitude - 200m for UK contests. It has a very clever anti-zoom algorithm to stop high rates of climb being used to gain extra altitude.
It is a great unit and we thoroughly recommend it. However HyperFlight does not sell the unit as Martin Bell is the sole UK distributor. This isn't a problem as Martin is very helpful and provides superb service.

The Elvira XL Is one of the biggest and best slope soarers to come out of the PCM stable. Renown for their strong wings, the PCM Elvira is tough, has a fantastic speed range, and handles beautifully. Made in Austria to a very high standard, with an excellent surface finish. Their almost ready to fly airframes need just a little work before you install your RC gear and start climbing those slopes!
As can be seen in the videos below, flying one of these beautiful models is an exhilarating experience. The model maintains its energy through strong turns and similar aerobatic manoeuvres, giving you the edge required when competing on the slope. This feature also allows the Elvira to garner lift when conditions get marginal, displaying exactly the efficiency you need from such a top performer.
This XL version has an all carbon layup. Comprising of a very sturdy pod and boom fuselage, V-Tail and Impressive three piece wing. The wing comes with two pair of 300mm carbon wing joiners at 180g a pair and two pair of 300mm steel ballast wing joiners at 940g a pair. Allowing the pilot to explore its considerable flight envelope in wide ranging wind conditions.

When stretched to 40m long gives approx 4 Kg F of pull, so is approximately compliant wih the German F3-RES rules. Can be mated with up to 105m of line (0.5mm to 0.7mm nylon) to make a maxed-out F3-REs high start, but using shorter lengths (50m - 70m) work better for smaller fields.
Excellent for launching F3-RES models, Sprites and upn to 3m light weight thermal soarers. For higher launches we recommend using two of these high starts to double the length of rubber, with 100m-120m of nylon monofilament line.

h � H � � � � � � � � � � � 645.00 _>�| `��`�" HYPER-AVA-PRO-EHyper AVA Pro-e 4m{ The Vladimir's Models <b>Hyper AVA Pro-e</b> is an improved and further stretched version of the world renowned electric Super AVA-e thermal soarer. Probably no rudder-elevator-spoiler (RES) eSoarer has a better reputation and a more illustrious contest record than the AVA series, so improving this already superb model is no mean feat. However Vladimir has incorporated these very significant upgrades in the Hyper AVA Pro-e:
- The electric fuselage pod has been totally redesigned to use a beautifully executed canopy hatch rather than a nosecone, allowing the battery to be inserted and connected easily, improving usability on the field. Also the very slim pod has a carefully engineered wing pylon to reduce interference drag.
- The Hyper AVA Pro-e wing mid section and tips have been stretched, bringing the span to 4m, decreasing induced drag, lowering the already low sink rate, and increasing visibility.
- The single central spoiler has been replaced by two smaller spoilers, these don't interfere with the flow over the tailplane, reducing the pitch change and making accurate landings child's play.
- The Hyper AVA Pro-e's tailplane has an improved planform and carbon D-box construction, increasing strength and reducing trim drag.
- The new fin has also been changed to use a molded fixed portion, with a lower drag tailboom attachment that incorporates a very clever quick release mechanism, to make the Hyper AVA Pro-e more transportable.
- The tailboom has been lengthened and stiffened. The longer tail moment improves stability and turning performance.
- The long pod allows large propellers to be fitted, and the rigid structure allows kilowatt class powertrains to be installed giving ultra fast climbs. The low wing loading ensures a very low min sink, and the ability to climb away in the weakest of thermals.

<img src="extras/Hyper-AVA-set-600.jpg" alt="Hyper AVA Pro-e Pro Parts View">
On the construction side, Vladimir has taken the build to a new level of completeness, so the Hyper AVA Pro-e can be assembled in only a few hours. New work done by Vladimir to speed Hyper AVA Pro-e final assembly:
- The wing spoiler horns have been fitted, and the spoiler servo wires threaded into place.
- All pushrods and horns have been fabricated, wires bent, etc.
- Fitting the servos in the fin has been simplified.
The only work required to compete the model is to glue the boom to the pod, attach the V mount and fin quick release clip, and install the powertrain & RC gear.
The Hyper AVA Pro-e is a stable thermal duration eSoaring model suitable for discerning modellers wanting the ultimate electric soaring experience. The simple rudder, elevator, spoiler controls make it supremely easy to fly, allowing you to concentrate on reading the air and the other gliders. Its light weight, prodigious strength, and state of the art design result in unparalleled performance.
<b>History</b>
The Hyper AVA Pro-e is an evolutionary improvement of the Super AVA-e, which was itself a stretched and electrified version of Dr Mark Drela's revolutionary Bubble Dancer. The AVA-e series was an implementation of Drela�s design using the free flight type construction techniques invented in Eastern Europe, and perfected by Vladimir. The Hyper AVA Pro-e is a stretched and improved version of this model. Like the <i>Simply the Best</i> and <i>Organic</i> ranges the Hyper AVA Pro-e wing has carbon capped ribs and a Kevlar D-Box. Allied to a substantial Kevlar wrapped carbon spar this results in a very rigid and almost unbreakable structure.
The aerodynamics are outstanding, utilising specially designed airfoils (no doubt in Xfoil, written by Mark Drela himself when he was a student), and a low drag V mounted tail plane, the AVA has a measured sink rate of 0.3m/s (60 ft per minute). The Hyper AVA Pro-e can be built down to 60 oz, however despite the low wing loading the plane can cope with 15mph winds with ease.
Many have asked about the underslung fin. There is no need to worry, in all the years we have been selling the AVA and the AVA Pro ranges not a single person has reported a broken fin or boom.

To help with storage and tranporation this new Blaster 2e has a wing that splits into two halves. The two part wing is cleverly implented and only adds 6g to the model's weight.
This kit includes the <b>inrunner or outrunner fuselage</b>. The inrunner pod has a normal firewall at the front, the outrunner version has the firewall recessed 27mm back from the nose, to allow a cost effective direct drive LRK type outrunner motor to be installed, with space for a good sized battery in the uncluttered pod.
The inside diameter at the very nose is 30mm, increasing to 33mm at the recessed firewall.
By using a 20g motor and a lightweight lipo battery the electric version can be built very light, and has flying characteristics identical to the DLG. Alternatively by fitting a larger motor and high discharge battery, the plane becomes a lightweight hotliner, adept at vertical climbs, high speed flight, and aerobatics, while still very capable of thermaling with the best.
The superbly finished hollow molded one piece wing comes with pre-cut servo mounts and bottom hinged generously sized flaperons, to allow the model to be slowed down to a crawl for damage-free landings or even hand catching. This high level of prefabrication makes the glider especially strong, clean, and easy to build.
The hollow molded wing skin is a very rigid and tough glass/rohacel/glass sandwich with a substantial carbon spar.
<img src="extras/blaster-wing-all.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The glass skin is laid at 45 degrees to eliminate twisting and maximise launch height. The carbon braid reinforced shear web is bonded to the substantial carbon spar caps, resulting in a light but strong spar.
<img src="extras/blaster-spar.jpg" alt="Blaster molded wing construction">
The living skin hinged flaperons have a rohacel core and a very sharp trailing edge to minimise drag.

An AXI 2212/12, with a 2S TP910 lipo and an Aeronaut 9.5x5 prop gives a climb rate of about 2400fpm. This motor will take up to 12" props (with a suitable battery and ESC) so long as the motor runs are kept short.
We recommend 2S LiPo setups if using linear a BEC. If using a 3S pack we suggest a separate UBEC or a speed controller with a switching BEC.

The two part wing is cleverly implemented and only adds 6g to the model's weight. The break is asymmetrical, and the wing that is used for launching is fully bolted to the fuselage, so the wing join only has to take the forces on the outside wing.</i> Apart from the two piece wing the model is the same as the one piece wing <b>Blaster 2</b> discus launched RC glider. It is a high tech F3K r/c hand launched glider utilising airfoils designed specially for DLGs by Mark Drela.
The hollow-molded wing is made in CNC machined molds to ensure the airfoils are reproduced accurately, and the potential performance is fully achieved. The elliptical planform and transitioning airfoils give the wing a very high efficiency, together with excellent handling characteristic and a benign stall.
The superbly finished one piece wing comes complete with a moulded-in aerodynamic winglet for tip launching. The wing also has pre-cut servo mounts and bottom hinged generously sized flaperons, to allow the model to be slowed down to a crawl for hand catching.

However it also has a very lightweight built-up tailplane and fin, making the model lighter than normal, and perfect for competition use. The Supra Competition is optimised for success!
Taking advantage of new materials and improved design, Vladimir's Models have achieved a unique combination of light wing loading and low inertia, in addition to high strength and stiffness. This results in a plane that not only delivers fast starts and precise landings, but also soars well in even the slightest lift.
The model is completely prefabricated, with very little work required to get it flyable - just install your radio gear.

<b>Advantages of the Supra Pro Competition's Built-Up Tail </b>
1) The weight of the horizontal stabilizer is reduced by 7 grams, eliminating 15 grams of nose ballast.
2) The area of the horizontal stabilizer is increased by 7%, increasing stability, or allowing a more rearward CG, facilitating a further nose weight reduction.
3) Weight of the vertical stabilizer is reduced by 10 grams, eliminating 23 grams of nose ballast.
4) Stiffness and strength of the horizontal stabilizer is increased due to D-box and CF spar from T800 prepreg.
5) Improved accuracy of the tail airfoil due to new CAD/CAM built-up manufacturing process.
6) Reduction of weight at the extremities reduces the moment of inertia, increasing lift indication.
<b>Immediately Apparent Flight Improvements</b>
1) The Supra Competition reacts to the slightest of morning lifts and hot air bubbles.
2) Faster starts due to stiffer CF wing spar from T800 prepreg.
3) Improved control, especially apparent at low landing speed.
4) The Supra Competition reacts quickly to elevator input, if you dork the plane into the landing target.
Supra Competition kit has an assembled fuselage with a demountable vertical stabilizer, for easier transportation. The vertical stabilizer is fixed by a carbon pin. Please fix the pin in place with glued tape before flight.
The model is supplied with wing connection plugs and sockets and wiring harness for connecting up the wing servos.

DATAVARIO-FRS3CS DataVario Logging & Extendable Voice Vario (FRS)� The Wstech Classic Sound DataVario FRS the US legal version of this variometer. It is a high technology variometer that, in addition to normal voice vario functions, also interfaces with a pitot tube and electric motor current and voltage sensors. All this data is then logged to the Micro SD card, and optionally announced over the radio link, allowing the pilot to <b>hear</b> altitude, airspeed, rate of climb/descent, motor current, and motor voltage.
{bullet}
Clear announcements of altitude, voltage, and glitches.
Four R/C selected announcement modes - all include R/C voltage and failsafe warnings.
Normal mode announces the model's altitude whenever it crosses a 100 ft threshold.
�Integral� altitude change mode announces altitude change from 20 seconds ago - excellent for plane tuning and scratching.
Special mode for tuning the climb rate when flying electric gliders - now you can optimise your angle of climb real-time.
Use the R/C link to have your model's altitude announced on demand.
Saves the minimum voltage and maximum altitude, and announces them the next time the vario is switched on - great for bragging rights and safety.
Quiet mode only announces when the R/C voltage drops or if the radio link is lost - excellent for aerobatics.
Transmits it to the walkie-talkie ground station on one of 7 channels on the US legal 462MHz band.
Very sensitive 5cm/s (10 ft per minute) pressure sensor allows even the smallest and weakest bubbles to be detected.
Fast acting tonal (duut, duut, dut, dut, dit, dit) output gives immediate indications of lift and sink.
Operates in feet or meter units
Weighs only 27g (1oz)
Operates on a 4.5V to 9V supply, so can be used with 4 or 5 cell NiXX receiver packs or a 2S LiPo pack.
Draws only 75mA, so operates for approx 2 hours on a 7g 2S 145mAh LiPo pack.
Short 7" flexible wire antenna.
Out of sight 1.2 mile range.
Legal for use in USA - uses the FRS frequency band, so no licence is required.

Being so light no effort or rotation of the body is needed to throw it, and even an unfit and arthritic person like myself can launch it to 25m very easily (and with no aches the next day). After a brief dusk trimming session I caught a thermal and specced out on the very first launch on the first daytime flight - the feeling of accomplishment is really brilliant!
<b>The Elf now includes wings bags, so these are now included in the base price. There is no need to order wings bags separately.</b>
The model is an update of Dr Mark Drela's ground breaking Apogee design and performs wonderfully as a small field DLG model or even a micro slope soarer. Built to Vladimir's Models incredibly high standards, the kit is very highly prefabricated with the wing, fin, and tailplane finished. Only the simple pod and boom fuselage requires a little work. Assembling the Elf and fitting the RC shouldn�t take more than a couple of evenings.
The one piece wing uses free flight type construction techniques, to maximise strength and stiffness, and minimise weight. The wing�s front part is a beautifully molded carbon Dbox for good torsional strength and excellent aerodynamics. The substantial spar is made from carbon spar caps with vertical grain balsa shear webs. The balsa ribs are connected to the thin carbon trailing edge using carbon capstrips, and aft of the spar is covered with film. The Dbox is beautifully curved, and at the wingtips there is a slot for bonding in the launching winglet.
The pod and boom fuselage uses very neat transparent plastic moldings for the pod and sheath nosecone. These are an excellent fit and follow the wing underside contour for a gap free fit. The tailboom is a tapered wrapped carbon tube with a pre-cut slot for the fin, and a flattened front section for mounting the R/C equipment. The fin is made from rigid foam with carbon spars and has smooth vac-bagged glass covering, and incorporates the rudder with a very free living hinge. The all flying foam/carbon/glass tailplane is mounted above the boom using a tiny V mount to minimise drag and allow it to be pivoted for excellent control. All pushrods and accessories are included, only the R/C gear and minimal building equipment is required.
The Elf is supplied almost completely finished. The fuselage now comes with the V mount, pod and pushrods already fixed in place. All that is required to finish the model is to glue the fin, tailplane and launch peg in place and fit the RC.
<b>Beginners, we highly recommend the Elf as a first hand launched glider</b> - because it is easy to fly, is reasonably crash resistant if flown over long grass, and has superb performance. It doesn't require much assembly - just gluing on the tail, and fitting the radio control.
Download our {href, extras/ElfAssemblyGuide.pdf,Elf Assembly Guide} (3Mb) to see how easily and quickly the Elf goes together. Note photo 6 on P6 is incorrect, the tailplane holder's horn should be on the left, as shown correctly below.

The rudder horn is also fitted, and all the tail pushrod and servo mounting hardware is supplied.
{b,Special features of this model include:}
{bullet}
A well designed low drag fuselage with a large canopy hatch giving good access to the powertrain and RC, making for easy RC installation and maintenance. The nose of this new version has been extended to allow lighter batteries to be used than with the older fuselage.
A very high aspect ratio wing with proprietary airfoils optimised for F5J flying - the wing excels in low speed tight thermal turns, allowing the model to be thermalled away from small, weak thermals with ease. This allows competition winning low starts to be made with confidence.
Despite its extremely good thermal performance the wings maintain a good L/D up to higher speeds, allowing the Kappa 40 to return from a long way downwind with ease.
The wing has slightly swept back wing tips, making it approximate to the Schulman planform. This is meant to improve performance and handling, especially near the stall.
Superb quality of construction and attention to detail. The airframe design and molding must have entailed literally hundreds of hours work by master builders and designers. This is fully reflected in the final quality of finish, which is truly excellent.
The plane was designed and optimised for electric gliding from the start, it is not a modified F3J design. This has allowed a high aspect ratio to be used and more suitable airfoils.
All the control surfaces are sealed and the wing control horns are all hidden inside the control surfaces, further reducing drag.
The level of completeness of the airframe is exceptional, allowing the model to be finished in just a few hours.
The wing breaks down into three pieces and the tailplane and fin are easily removable, allowing the model to be easily transported to contests.

{b,The model is available in three composite layups:}
{b,Light} - Mostly glass covered flying surfaces, with carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This is the lightest version.
{b,DBox} - The flying surfaces have a carbon DBox at the front. The rest is mostly glass with carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This version weighs approx 50 g more than the Light version but is stronger. This layup costs approx 8% more.
{b,Spread Carbon} - All the flying surfaces are covered in lightweight spread carbon, with extra carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar, resulting in the lightest and strongest model possible.This version weighs approx 30 g more than the Light version but is much stronger, more rigid and less susceptible to hanger rash and handling damage, and can be flown faster. This layup costs approx 19% more.
For all wing layups the fuselage is all carbon. The top of the fuselage is painted and the underside is left in natural carbon black. This looks very attractive. For all electric models (irrespective of the fuselage construction) we recommend the 2.4GHz aerials are exited from the fuselage, so they are in the outside airflow. One horizontal and one vertical aerial usually works well. There is too much electrical equipment in an electric glider fuselage for the RC signal to be reliably received inside the pod.
All models are supplied with high quality sewn cloth padded wing bags, to ensure the wing stays in perfect condition.

Note that although the spinner diameter is 38 mm the width of the canopy hatch is only approx 27 mm, so the max diameter powertrain that can be fitted is 28 mm (with a little flexing of the fuselage skin). Also the RC and flight battery will have to be installed as far forward as possible to achieve a minimum flying weight. Unlike other (converted F3J) models the nose is only just long enough to achieve the correct balance when using a lightweight motor.

) t� Plastic c,��L � �b�s MAXA-35 Maxa 3.5 F3J� The {b,Maxa 3.5} is the 3.5m version of Vladimir's Models latest and best ever F3J glider. It features an advanced design by Joe Wurts, the legendary Word Championship winner of all glider classes, and professional aerodynamicist. Joe spent many months optimising the Maxa for the F3J thermal soaring class, and came up with 3.5m and 4m models optimised for windy and normal conditions.
This 3.5m span version is ideally suited to windier conditions, where better manouverability, and a higher wing loading allows the model to penetrate and flown accurately in a breeze.
The size and extreme light weight have been made possible by a new spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko and made by specially designed machines in his impressive fabrication facility. The wing is a monocoque structure with a skin of a double layer of spread carbon strengthened with a bulletproof F3J strength spar made with a multi-ply 45� balsa and carbon shear web between substantial IMS 65 carbon spar caps. We are mostly stocking the "Light" (which used to be called the Hard Spread carbon) version. The even stronger slightly heavier "Windy" (double Hard Spread carbon) version is available to order if not in stock.
In mid 2012 the tailplane (called horizontal stabiliser or elevator in some countries) size was increased by about 10%.

Cut away drawing of the Maxa spar, showing the IMS 65 carbon spar caps, amd the +/- 45� balsa/carbon/balsa ply spar web.
{img, extras/F3J-Maxa-spar.jpg,Maxa spar construction}
The fuselage is a well engineered Kevlar and carbon pod, with a diagonally wound spread carbon boom, and fin mounted cruciform tail. The model is totally complete, and almost no assembly is required. The tail pushrods are ready installed, and all the hardware is supplied for the wing servo installation. The model comes with a ballast tube (for windy conditions) and a wiring harness.
The Maxa 3.5 is the first high performance glider designed from the start for the new F5J rules, whose main requirement is reliable soaring from low altitude, as higher �Start Heights� count against the final score. The 30 second climb window is generous, so high-power heavy motors are not required, and the model can be kept very light.
{bullet}
The Maxa�s aerodynamic qualities have been modelled to a new level of accuracy and by Joe Wurts. In the process Joe designed a new family of airfoils and optimised the shape of the model to get the best from the new spread carbon composites being developed by Vladimir. The result is a very low sink rate that ensures the longest duration in no-thermal conditions, while also maintaining gentle handling that inspires confidence from the first flight.
The Maxa�s low wing loading and inertia makes it very respond to tiny air disturbances, allowing small bubbles to be detected and worked from low down, allowing low Start heights and high F5J scores.
The Maxa 3.5�s more mageable size allows it to be flown in a wider range of conditions than larger, more lightly loaded models. The excellent lift/drag ratio, especially at higher speeds, gives good penetration, and thus the ability for the glider to return from distant thermals with little altitude loss.
The long nose moment allows little noseweight to balance the model.
The ballast system allows the model�s weight to be tuned to the conditions, allowing the Maxa to shine in even the strongest wind.

The battery is a tight fit in the Elf pod, but fits okay if set back from the very nose.
It works very well with the many modern RC components that work directly with 8.5V (2S) battery supplies. On our test Elf, fitted with a Jeti Duplex R5 receiver, an SD100 elevator servo, a Blue Arrow 2.5g rudder servo, and a Jeti Vario sensor the battery gives at least 2 hours of flying time. The very small loads on the servo mean that the battery's small capacity is ample for this model. All these components worked fine on the 2S unregulated battery.
Use a Jeti Box on the transmitter to check the battery voltage - stop flying when the voltage goes down to 7V.
The battery is supplied with a mini JST-HX plug and a JST-HX extension lead. Remove the extension lead�s plug and solder on a normal RC plug. Use this JST-HX to RC battery extension lead both to connect the battery to the receiver (and act as a switch), and as a charge conversion lead.

`� �`�T SCORPIONScorpion 2.3m Cross TailR <b>The latest version of the Scorpion has a removable cross tail, improving controllability and easing transportation. Some of the photos show the earlier V tail model.</b>
The Scorpion is an extremely high performance lightweight electric thermal soarer, filling the gap between the smaller 2m models and the much less agile 3.2m+ models. The Scorpion flies like a thoroughbred and is used by many pilots for F3J and F5J training when time or flying space is in short supply. However, it isn't limited just to practise and sport flying. Amongst many other successes, the new Scorpion X tail won 1st place in the 28th May 2011 Slovakian F5J-Outrunner Eurotour event and 3rd place in the 2010 F5J-HeightLimiter event, competing against 3m and 4m models.
The ultra-lightweight construction, being of all molded glass and carbon, is truly ARTF with just the electric motor and RC to install. The wings are two piece for easy transport and storage; the horizontal stabiliser (tailplane) is removable for easier transport. There is a canopy hatch for easy battery changes and maintenance.
<b>Powertrain Suggestions</b>
The model is designed to be usable for Slovenian F5J Outrunner competitions. This class prescribes suitable small (40g - 45g) outrunner motors, and a 2S LiPo battery. See the <i>F5J Outrunner Rules with allowed motors 2010</i> attached PDF file below for the full list of allowed motors. Even on the small 170W prescribed powertrains the model has a climb rate of about 9m/s (1800 ft/min). For modellers not constrained by these rules we recommend similar small outrunner motors be used, but powered by small 3S LiPo batteries. This will keep the model light, as intended and give even better climb rates. Use of heavier powertrains will probably result in tail weight being required for balance, and isn't recommended.

This is smaller (34cm span) than the Blaster 2 tailplane (38cm span).
Weight = 7g
< � � � � � � � � � � � � ^�^ � `���`�W BLASTER-3
Blaster 3 DLGB The {b,Blaster 3} is the long-awaited successor to the award winning Blaster line of 1.5m DLGs from Vladimir's Models. The Blaster 3 is a great improvement in DLG design, building upon the experience gained in development and manufacturing of the first two Blaster versions. It meets all the requirements for a competition level discus launch glider, while being suitable for intermediate and even less experienced pilots.
This "Light" version has a glass and Rohacell wing skin, with a substantial carbon spar. It is fine for most fliers, but we recommend modellers who launch hard to get the stronger spread tow layup.
Blaster 3 is designed in CAD from the ground up. It combines unique design, the latest composite materials, the state of the art manufacturing process and careful manual composite layup. Blaster 3's visible simplicity hides its structural sophistication.
Thanks to the advanced aerodynamic design by Dr. Drela and extremely streamlined fuselage, we have developed a uniquely controllable, fast, light, and strong glider with excellent penetration ability.
The Blaster 3 has these major improvements over the Blaster 2:
{bullet}
Lighter, from 260 g flying weight, approx 40 g lighter than the Blaster 2.
Easier and quicker to build.
Smaller fuselage with smaller pylon reduces drag.
Shorter tailboom and smaller tailplane reduces inertia and improves manoeverability.
Stiffer wing mount and tail boom increases the launch height.
The above result in a model that launches higher, has improved hang time, and thermals better.
{endbullet}
The Blaster 3, unlike previous versions, can have the launch blade attached to either wing, allowing the model to be build for left handed and right handed throwers.
The wing design uses state of the art hollow molded fabrication techniques to maximise strength, while keeping weight to a minimum. <img src="extras/blaster3-wing-tech.jpg" alt="Blaster 3 molded wing construction">
The spar is constructed from high modulus unidirectional carbon flanges, which are bonded to the wing skin, these are kept rigid by the web, which is made from high density blue foam strengthened with a braided carbon fibre sleeve. This ensures +/- 45 degree fibre orientation, ideal for a shear web. <img src="extras/blaster3-spar-tech.jpg" alt="Blaster spar construction">
The wing skins are made of Rohacell foam and glass cloth. The ailerons are very light and stiff due to a braided CF sleeve spar.This also moves the aileron CG forward, preventing flutter during launch. <img src="extras/blaster3-spar-tech.jpg" alt="Blaster aileron construction">

� � �b�X MKS-NUKE3%MKS Nuke 3 Servo - 8.8mm 3.7g 0.9KgcmB
The MKS Nuke 3 Nano Servo is a tiny yet very powerful servo ideal for lightweight models that need very precise high quality control. It is comparable with the well regarded SD100 (or D47), but is lighter and faster while being nearly as thin and powerful.
Despite the Nuke 3's small size its substantial gears are totally free of backlash. The high quality coreless motor and electronics ensure excellent accuracy, repeatability, and temperature stability.
At only 8.8 mm thick this superb servo can easily fit in very small fuselages, and most wings and tails. With a reasonably strong 0.9 kg cm torque the Nuke 3 is appropriate for electric gliders and DLGs weighing up to about 600 g, and electric indoor 3D and F3P pattern models. It is an ideal replacement for the Ripmax SD100 / Dymond D47 servo.
<i>Note: Although otherwise perfect for the Elf Mini Glider, the Nuke 3 servo output arm is too short to give adequate rudder throw using the predrilled rudder horn hole. A new hole nearer the rudder hinge needs to be made in the horn before glung it in place, or the servo output arm extended. I good method was posted on the RCGroups thread:
A tip for extending Nuke-3 servo arms, use a length of 3/32" or 2.38mm aluminium tube. It was necessary to very slightly squash the tube to make it oval and also to lightly fettle the Nuke-3 arm with a needle file, but the final fit was good and firm. I then completly flattened the last couple of mm with a pair of pliers and drilled a suitable hole for the z bend. From memory I think this resulted in an arm with about 9mm from the centre of the servo to the pushrod. Result - plenty of rudder movement.</i>

� x � �b�] TASER Taser Glass The <b>Taser</b> is a very lightweight thermal soarer designed by the renowned Podivin Composite Modellbau team. This Austrian manufacturer is best know for their Fireworks series of competition winning discus launched gliders.
The model is a fully molded 2m electric glider intended mainly for competitive and sport thermal soaring. The glass layup wing shows off the balsa skins beautifully, and the lack of gelcoat helps keep the weight down to a minimum. The advanced design by Marcus Podivin uses a mixture of computer assistance and careful flight testing, with stepwise refinement to arrive at a perfect compromise of performance, flying characteristics and resilience.
The near elliptical two piece wing has of 7 degrees of dihedral, giving it good stability, especially in tight thermal turns. Its thin Drela airfloils and large camber changing flap/ailerons give the Taser a large speed range, allowing it to be used in winds up to about 15mph. The wing control surfaces are expertly gap sealed, to minimise drag and ensure excellent control feel. The flaps and ailerons are supplied joined, in one piece, so the model can be setup to use two servos on flaperons, or four servos controlling the flaps and ailerons separately.
The all carbon fuselage has a removable carbon canopy hatch. The fuselage is very slim, reducing drag, but requiring small RC gear, and a small powertrain. The model is easily transported with its two-piece wings and compact V tail. The Taser is almost completely built at the factory, very little work is required to finish it.

Designed by Soaring Circuits for the US 200m altitude limited electric soaring format, the CAM is small, light, and easy to install. Just plug it in between your receiver and ESC. That's it! The CAM automatically shuts your motor down at 200 meters or after 30 seconds per the emerging altitude limited soaring rules. This simple competition format promises to put the "soaring" back into electric sailplane contests. Even inexpensive RTF models can compete!
The CAM has selectable cut-off altitudes of 100m, 150m and 200m, and does not require a computer to program or use. You can easily change the cut-off right at the field. With the CAM you can make multiple climbs to cut-off without having to land. Great for practicing!

&� � � � � � � � � b�d, � �b�` MAXA-35E Maxa 3.5e� The {b,Maxa 3.5e} is the 3.5m version of Vladimir's Models latest and best ever electric glider. It features an advanced design by Joe Wurts, the legendary Word Championship winner of all glider classes, and professional aerodynamicist. Joe spent many months optimising the Maxa for the F3J thermal soaring class, but the large size, light weight, high aspect ratio, and well cambered airfoils also makes it ideal for electric thermal soaring, especially the new FAI F5J class and the popular UK eSoaring class.
This 3.5m span version is ideally suited to windier conditions, where better manouverability, and a higher wing loading allows the model to penetrate and be flown accurately in a breeze.
The size and extreme light weight have been made possible by a new spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko and made by specially designed machines in his impressive fabrication facility. The wing is a monocoque structure with a skin of a double layer of spread carbon strengthened with a F3J strength spar made with a multi-ply 45� balsa and carbon shear web between substantial IMS 65 carbon spar caps. We are mostly stocking the "Light" (which used to be called the Hard Spread carbon) version. The even stronger slightly heavier "Windy" (double Hard Spread carbon) version is available to order if not in stock.

Cut away drawing of the Maxa spar, showing the IMS 65 carbon spar caps, amd the +/- 45� balsa/carbon/balsa ply spar web.
{img, extras/F3J-Maxa-spar.jpg,Maxa spar construction}
The fuselage is a well engineered Kevlar and carbon pod, with a diagonally wound spread carbon boom, and fin mounted cruciform tail. The model is totally complete, and almost no assembly is required. The tail pushrods are ready installed, and all the hardware is supplied for the wing servo installation. The model comes with a ballast tube (for windy conditions) and a wiring harness.
The Maxa 3.5e is the first high performance glider designed from the start for the new F5J rules, whose main requirement is reliable soaring from low altitude, as higher �Start Heights� count against the final score. The 30 second climb window is generous, so high-power heavy motors are not required, and the model can be kept very light.
{bullet}
The Maxa�s aerodynamic qualities have been modelled to a new level of accuracy and by Joe Wurts. In the process Joe designed a new family of airfoils and optimised the shape of the model to get the best from the new spread carbon composites being developed by Vladimir. The result is a very low sink rate that ensures the longest duration in no-thermal conditions, while also maintaining gentle handling that inspires confidence from the first flight.
The Maxa�s low wing loading and inertia makes it very respond to tiny air disturbances, allowing small bubbles to be detected and worked from low down, allowing low Start heights and high F5J scores.
The Maxa 3.5�s more mageable size allows it to be flown in a wider range of conditions than larger, more lightly loaded models. The excellent lift/drag ratio, especially at higher speeds, gives good penetration, and thus the ability for the glider to return from distant thermals with little altitude loss.
The long nose moment allows very lightweight powertrains to be used to balance the model.
As the electric version retains the ballast system of the glider version, the model�s weight can be tuned to the conditions, allowing the Maxa to shine in even the strongest wind.
{endbullet}
This combination of state of the art aerodynamics, low weight, and a good size makes the Maxa 4e the best model for competitive F5J soaring, bar none. See this {href, http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1558751, RC Groups Maxa 4e thread} and the Vladimir's Models {href,http://f3j.in.ua/en/maxa-el-family.html, Maxa 4 EL} page for a lot more info.

o� Germanyc0�!� � �b�f AKCENT-2 Akcent-2 DLG+ The {b,Akcent-2} is a molded composite discus launched glider model beautifully made by Dmitriy Lomovtsev of LD Models in Russia.
The Akcent-2 has several innovative features in addition to a sleek graceful design and a proven airfoil set (modified AG series from Mark Drela). The wing is molded with a CNC routed foam core inside a double layer fibreglass skin and a carbon Dbox leading edge. The solid foam core makes the wing very durable and repairable. The very slim fuselage is a one-piece carbon molded design with a 2.4 GHz friendly fibreglass nose. The tail feathers are molded with CNC routed foam cores and a light layer of glass. The tailplane is detachable and is mounted on a very clever and light tail mount with one plastic screw and two fixing pins.
The model is designed for pull-spring actuation of the tail surfaces, but pushrods can be used if preferred. Pushrods, or strings and springs are not supplied with the kit and must be obtained separately by the builder. We now have an option to purchase the kit with a fin that does not have a rudder. This is mainly preferred by competition fliers who prefer the weight saving and inertia reduction of a rudderless DLG.
The Akcent-2 is very easy to fly and is suitable for fliers of any level - from beginners to advanced pilots. The Akcent-2 has been successfully used by pilots in Russia, Europe, and the USA, with positive feedback. It requires a bit more work to assemble than, for example, the Blaster 2 or 3, but flies very well and is tougher and easier to repair.
For more info see the excellent {href,http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1347755, Akcent-2 build log and discussion} on RCGroups.
Note the Akcent-2 DLGs received in the latest consignment are not "disser" and have some small blemishes in the wings - small dents and paint finish errors. These do not affect the model's flying performance or strength.

Blaster 3 DLG The {b,Blaster 3} has great performance and is suitable for new and more experienced fliers of discus launched gliders. The third of the award winning Blaster line of 1.5m DLGs from Vladimir's Models, the Blaster 3 launches higher than the Blaster 2, while keeping its ARTF quick construction, and great handling. Although not the current pinnacle of DLG performance, it offers unsurpassed quality of construction and value for money. It is in common use as a competition level discus launch glider, while also being suitable for intermediate and even less experienced pilots. Thanks to the advanced aerodynamic design by Dr. Drela, the Blaster 3 has a great combination of being easy to fly with excellent low speed controllability, while having a good glide angle at higher speeds, allowing it to penetrate back upwind after catching a thermal.
The Blaster 3 is only produced in spread carbon wing layups only, this makes the model much tougher than the earlier glass versions, without being heavier. The "Regular" layup is suitable for average launchers in all wind conditions, or powerful launchers in winds up to about 14 mph (22kph). The slightly heavier "Strong" layup is even stronger and is suitable for all strengths of launchers in all wind conditions. Both versions are stiffer than the previous glass layup, allowing the model to be launched higher, and their strong carbon wing skin ensures they suffer less damage from handling, transport, or missed catches.
Blaster 3 is designed in CAD from the ground up. It combines unique design, the latest composite materials, the state of the art manufacturing process and careful manual composite layup. Blaster 3's visible simplicity hides its structural sophistication.
The Blaster 3 has these major improvements over the Blaster 2:
{bullet}
Lighter, from 260 g flying weight, approx 40 g lighter than the Blaster 2.
Easier and quicker to build.
Smaller fuselage with smaller pylon reduces drag.
Shorter tailboom and smaller tailplane reduces inertia and improves manoeuvrability.
Stiffer wing mount and tail boom increases the launch height.
The above result in a model that launches higher, has improved hang time, and thermals better.
{endbullet}
The Blaster 3 can have the launch blade attached to either wing, allowing the model to be built for left handed and right handed throwers.
The wing design uses state of the art hollow molded fabrication techniques to maximise strength, while keeping weight to a minimum.
Note this and the subsequent images are of the glass layup wing, the current models have spread carbon wing skins.<img src="extras/blaster3-wing-tech.jpg" alt="Blaster 3 molded wing construction"
The spar is constructed from high modulus unidirectional carbon flanges, which are bonded to the wing skin, these are kept rigid by the web, which is made from high density blue foam strengthened with a braided carbon fibre sleeve. This ensures +/- 45 degree fibre orientation, ideal for a shear web. <img src="extras/blaster3-spar-tech.jpg" alt="Blaster spar construction">
The wing skins are made of Rohacell foam and glass cloth. The ailerons are very light and stiff due to a braided CF sleeve spar. This also moves the aileron CG forward, preventing flutter during launch. <img src="extras/blaster3-spar-tech.jpg" alt="Blaster aileron construction">

This product can be used with older RAM3 altimeters (that were supplied with RS232 cables) to convert them to the USB standard.
Note the USB interface is built into this special lead, this is not an off-the-shelf cable.
<b>Installation Instructions</b>
There are two steps to install the USB upload cable. First, the proper software drivers must be available so that your computer can recognize and install the cable when it�s plugged in. Second, you must determine what COM port Windows has assigned to the cable and set FlightView to match using the Setup menu.
If you�re running Windows 7 and connected to the internet, there�s a good chance that the USB driver will install automatically when the RAM3 USB Interface is plugged into the PC. If not please go to <a href="http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm" target="_new">www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm</a> and download and install the driver appropriate for your operating system.
Once the driver is installed and the RAM3 USB interface has been recognised open the Windows Device Manager and look for the Ports (COM & LPT) entry. Expand this entry and you should see a USB Serial Port line followed by the COM port assignment. If the COM port number is greater than 9 click on the Advanced button on the Port Settings tab and change it to 9. Make note of the number and then run FlightView and use Setup => Com Port to set the COM port to match.

� � � � � � � � � V��r # ��b�u FW-MINI-Q"Fireworks Mini-Q and Mini-Q Carbon�
The {b,Fireworks Mini-Q} is a lightweight 1m class mini discus launched glider designed by the renowned Podivin Composite Modellbau team. The {b,PCM Mini-Q Carbon} is a race version with a very strong and rigid carbon skin wing, making it suitable for very powerful throwers and great fun on a slope. This Austrian manufacturer is well known for their 1.5m Fireworks series of competition winning discus launched gliders, and the Mini is a great addition for sport fliers and slope soarers. The -Q version is the aileron edition (aileron is Querruder in German), and the model is very aerobatic, and great fun to fly. Fireworks Mini-Q discus launches very well, making it easy to catch thermals on the flat. The PCM Mini-Q Carbon is unbeatable when flying from small and even larger slopes. It stays up in the lightest of winds, and can cope with wind speeds of 30mph or more if ballasted.
The Fireworks Mini has a fully hollow molded wing. The glass layup that shows off the beautiful balsa wing skin and the expertly laid up carbon version looks fabulous. A small amount of colouring is used to adorn the model, and make it more visible. The advanced design by Marcus Podivin has the benefit of his renowned expertise in discus launched gliders, and he has squeezed unexpected performance from this very conveniently sized model.
The moderately tapered one piece wing has of 5 degrees of dihedral, which gives good stability, considering its small size. Its thin Drela airfoils and large camber changing flaperons give the Fireworks Mini-Q a very good speed range, allowing it to thermal as well as lighter models, and yet also to cope with stronger winds with ease.
The all carbon fuselage has a removable carbon sheath nosecone, that makes fitting and maintaining the RC child�s play. The Fireworks Mini-Q wing and fuselage is almost completely built at the factory, only the tail surfaces need a little work to complete.

� � A� � � � � � � � � � ( R��_ 2 ���b�y SAPPHIRE Sapphire 2m� The <b>Sapphire</b> is a lightweight electric thermal soarer designed for the Czech/Slovak Small Outrunner electric glider class. It borrows many design and technology refinements from discus launched gliders, and the aerodynamic design is well thought out and fault-free.
The nicely finished smooth glass skinned foam core wing has a substantial carbon spar. Each wing half is molded with the polyhedral in place, ensuring a very smooth and low drag surface, and good stability. The small lightweight fuselage pod is of glass/epoxy construction, so is 2.4GHz friendly, and can accommodate folding props up to 14" diameter, allowing good climb rates. The convenient canopy hatch allows access to the electric motor and battery. The rear fuselage is made of a lightweight but long carbon boom, giving excellent flight stability.
The tail feathers have a similar construction to the wings and are in a conventional {b,cross tail configuration}, with a fin and tailplane. The tailplane is removable for easy transport. The control surfaces are actuated by servos in the pod using the supplied pushrods. This helps the CG to be correctly positioned even when using a lightweight powertrain. Please ignore all references to the older V tail version.
The light weight, high aspect ratio, generous dihedral and tail moments, make the Sapphire a high performance and easy to fly thermal soarer that will stay aloft with the best of them. The modern thin airfoil and four servo wing gives the model a wide speed range. The quality construction and excellent price point make it a very good first competition model for the 2m eSoaring class. The kit includes minimal English instructions. See this excellent German {href, http://www.rc-network.de/forum/showthread.php/359287-Q12-von-Ho%C5%99ej%C5%A1%C3%AD, build log} for lots of useful info.
<i>The new <b>Ultralight pod</b> option has a lighter carbon/Kevlar fuselage pod. This is very slim and requires a 28mm or 30mm (max) spinner. Apart from being slimmer the pod is also longer, so a lighter powertrain can be used. Access to the pod is a little restricted so the only motors that we recommend are the Hacker B20-18L or the Hacker A10-7L motors, both geared 4:1. This pod saves about 28g (1 oz), from the flying weight shown below.</i>

PLD-BAC-55 LiPo Regulator & Alarm - 5.5V# Use the <b>LiPo Regulator & Alarm</b> to reduce the weight of your glider and allow you to fly longer by safely replacing the NiMH receiver pack with a lighter, but higher capacity LiPo battery.
Specifically designed for discus launch gliders (DLGs), the PLD-BAC-55 (BEC Alarm Combo) has been made as small as possible but still packed with needed functionality.
This updated and improved version replaces the previous PLD-BAC-004. The new -55 version now regulates the LiPo voltage down to 5.5V (previously 5V) as all RC gear will respond better at this higher voltage, with faster servo movement, and more reliable receiver operation. It also includes a built in LED for voltage level indication as well as an audio alarm for when things get to the critical stage, and other improvements. The LED flashes the voltage level, so if the battery is 7.2V it will flash 7 times, pause and flash twice more. Also the PLD-BAC-004 has an improved circuit design to give less voltage sagging and lower noise on the signal and power wires.

It works very well with the many modern RC components that work directly with 8.4V (2S) battery supplies. On our test Elf, fitted with a Jeti Duplex R5 receiver, an SD100 elevator servo, a Blue Arrow 2.5g rudder servo, and a Jeti Vario sensor the battery gives at least 2.5 hours of flying time. The very small loads on the servo mean that the battery's small capacity is ample for this model. All these components worked fine on the 2S unregulated battery.
I use a Jeti Box on the transmitter to check the receiver battery voltage - I stop flying when the rx voltage goes down to 7V.

LONGSHOT-4Longshot 4 DLG 1.5m/ The well regarded <b>Longshot 4</b> is a good value entry level molded 1.5m DLG. The Longshot-4 is very tough and easy to fly, making it a great trainer. The Longshot 4 uses solid molded construction methods, and a modern Drela airfoil, which keeps it light and gives it excellent performance.
The Longshot 4 DLG is a substantial improvement on the earlier versions, with better aerodynamics and an improved molded glass / foam / glass wing, with lots of carbon in the right places. The Longshot�s fuselage is a carbon/Kevlar molding with a lightweight rolled carbon tailboom that is long (for good stability) and very stiff (for high launches). The R/C is accessed though a handy canopy hatch, and the wings are bolted onto the low pod, keeping the frontal area to a minimum. The tail is ready finished in blue foam with lightweight glass skin. The tailplane is conveniently removable for no fuss transportation. It is mounted on a nicely prefabricated carbon pylon that is glued to the boom. The Longshot�s very smooth low drag wing is supplied in two pieces and is easily joined using the supplied carbon reinforcements, and is painted with flashes of colour on the tips. The strong carbon spar ensures the model can be safely launched to 50m, giving dead air times of over a minute. All the linkages are provided, only glue and the RC gear needs to be supplied by the builder.
The easy build, benevolent flying characteristics, and tough construction all make the Longshot 4 an excellent introduction to discus launched gliders. See some build photos {href,http://www.horejsi.cz/PhotoGallery/0724_LS3/LS3_sequence_EN.htm,<b>here</b>}.

X � i � � B2� � � � � � � � � )� < �� Plastic, carbon fibre c1P 9 `� �`�� FW5-FLOWFireworks 5-Flow The <b>Fireworks 5-Flow</b> is the most competitive discus launched glider in the renowned PCM range, only released after an intensive development period. The FW Flow 5 is mostly new, with many improvements in materials, construction, and aerodynamic design. Numerous prototypes, and more than 1000 test launches were necessary before they were satisfied that the design was perfect.
Maximum performance while retaining good handling were the most important design goals. Marcus Podivin chose the highly acclaimed Zone 52-21 airfoil, as it gives outstanding performance in all flight modes, including launch, speed and thermal.
The fuselage is unusually short, which results in livelier handing, allowing for excellent characteristics in turbulent thermals. Also the shorter fuselage allows the masses to be concentrated closer to middle of the glider, giving a lower moment of inertia, and thus less tail wagging on launch, to enable the highest starts. It also incorporates a bottom opening to allow the flaperon pushrods to be attached, keeping the linkage completely out of the airstream, like RDS but without the complexity or maintenance headache. See the video below that shows the flaperon pushrods being attached and removed.
{video,KTEjTVQMv_Y}
The near-elliptical one piece wing has 6.5 degrees of dihedral, which gives good stability, allowing it to be flown to the limit of vision with confidence. Its thin modern airfoils and large camber changing flaperons give the Fireworks 5-Flow a very good speed range, allowing it to launch high to cope with stronger winds with ease, but with little camber added it will hang forever.
The mostly carbon fuselage has a Kevlar front portion and a removable access hatch, that makes fitting 2.4GHz RC child�s play.

<b>Evolution of the Fireworks 5-Flow</b>
The new FW5 "FloW": When PCM started developing a new F3K-model, a lot of people told them about their experiences and successful improvements. The problem was that there was little evidence that the changes really helped. So they tried to prove all of this with test flights. First they developed a good testing method to get reliable data. After several trials they chose a comparing method with a dlg that is launched with a rubber hi-start. With constant energy launches it was possible to separate the atmospheric disturbances (wind and thermals) from the design changes. The solutions of our test you will find in the magazine "Aufwind" and on the PCM homepage.
The factors for a high start which we proved were (performance such as L/D and minimum sink rate were calculated.):
- centered masses
- little masses
- little/high dihedral
- narrow wing tips
- little/high sweep back
- different aspect ratios
- different airfoils: HM51, AG foils, Zone foils, and mixes and strakes of these
- asymmetrical stabs
- stabs with higher aspect ratio
- different starting methods: steep or flat
- shorter boom
After many tests it was clear the most important points were:
- centering masses to keep the radius of gyration low
- little flying masses
- the priority of these two points: centered masses are more effective than little masses.
- The pilot has to start in different ways when the wind varies. This makes also a big difference.
FUSELAGE
The construction of the fuselage is very special. It is uses a sandwich construction over the whole fuselage with Airex under balsa as supporting material. This highly time consuming production is rewarded with fantastic weights of around 30g and simultaneously high stiffness. The fuselage uses these materials:
- Kevlar in the front for 2.4ghz receivers
- IM spread tow in the back for good stiffness
- Airex sandwich in the front and balsa sandwich in the back for good strength
The fuselage is shorter in the back and the front to center the masses. Thermalling characteristics, especially agility and sensitiveness for thermals have clearly improved by this. You can easily stay in the thermal by making small steering movements or change the turning direction with nearly loosing no height.
Nose made of Kevlar for installation of 2,4GHz.
CNC-milled radio board with access from the side for tidy mounting and quick changing of servos.
One-piece fuselage built with IM spread tow.
Pre-fabricated threads for fixing the wing.
The end of the boom is shaped for easy mounting of the rudder.
WING
Airfoil: Zone airfoils from 52-21. These airfoils are very suitable for high launches and far distance flights. PCM chose again a wider wing tip like the fw4. They made tests with narrow wing tips to reduce mass at the tip. The result was bad during flight and also the strength of the tip decreased extremely. So they had to add more material to reach enough strength. That means in the end we had more weight and worse flying performance. So they chose again the wide tip that circles great and forgives mistakes. Now you can dare to thermal very low and near to obstacles. This sensitive feeling for thermals is also supported by centering masses. The wing is made from:
-The D-Box is made of IM spread tow. More material is used in the middle of the wing to withstand the higher torsion forces and to center the masses. As the flying weight was near 250g, we could afford to integrate additional material. Further reduction of weight is not helpful, as the ideal conditions for a very light model (no wind, soft thermals) are very rare.
Rohacell is used as supporting material to provide a smoother surface.
When searching the ideal place for the servos PCM first tried wing servos. This resulted in nose weight being required, so, the flying weight was 13g higher and also the distribution of the masses was worse. For this reason PCM came back to situating all servos inside the fuselage.
STABILIZER
After all tests PCM finally returned back to our well-established FW4.2 stabs, as they gave best results. In addition, these stabs are very popular amongst our customers for this and the good functionality, low weight from about 14g and easy installation. The stabs are dismountable.

ZsR�� ��b�� AVITRON2Avitron 2 Ornithopter The {b,Avitron 2} is a superb bird shaped flying ornithopter. The Avitron looks incredibly realistic in flight, and is a masterpiece of aero, electronic, and mechanical engineering. The 33 cm (13 in) span bird only weighs 8.7 g (0.31 oz) and flies for up to 12 minutes on its integrated lithium polymer battery. The patented mechanics incorporate a tiny two stage planetary reduction drive, so the coreless electric motor flaps the wing at the correct speed. The models is controlled by the included 2.4GHz spread spectrum proprietary radio control. The transmitter doubles as a stand and charger between flights.
The performance of the ornithopter is very good, with an excellent speed range and a rate of climb that is better than most real birds. The Avitron 2 can be flown indoors and outside on calm days. The 100 m (330 ft) radio range is more than enough for this small model, allowing it to be flown to the limits of visual range.
Although it is not a glider the wings can be stopped in flight, and directional control is maintained. HyperFlight usually stock high performance competition gliders and electric planes, and although the Avitron doesn't obviously tick all the boxes, it is high performance, it is electric, it does glide, and it is a superb piece of engineering. We hope our customers love it as much as we do.

This is a really quick setting cyanoacrylate superglue. Apply sparingly, and remove your fingers quickly to ensure you do not glue yourself to the work piece. Keep some debonder on hand to unstick yourself if the worst happens.
It is ideal for field repairs of composite structures as it bonds very well to epoxy resin, and has the low viscosity to wick into cracks and fully wet out glass, Kevlar and carbon cloths. Be careful that it does not come into white or blue expanded polystyrene foams as it can "melt" these.

The well made balsa wing has a substantial carbon tubular spar, and is expertly covered in Oralight film. The wing has ailerons for good roll control, and for acting as airbrakes when landing, however the 9.6 degrees equivalent dihedral angle (EDA) gives good stability for easy thermal soaring. The lightweight full length fuselage is of glass/epoxy construction, so is 2.4GHz friendly, and can accommodate folding props up to 13" diameter, allowing good climb rates. The fuselage is just large enough to accommodate small outrunner direct drive brushless motors. The convenient canopy hatch allows access to the electric motor and battery.
The tail feathers are of built-up balsa construction, and have good sized control surfaces which are actuated by servos in the forward fuselage using the supplied pushrods. This helps the CG to be correctly positioned even when using a lightweight powertrain.
The well tried S4083 airfoil gives a low sink rate, and a reasonable speed range. The light weight, generous dihedral and tail moments, make the Zircon a high performance yet easy to fly entry level thermal soarer that also has enough performance to hold its own in 2m eSoaring competitions.

The Vladimir's Models <b>Avalon 3.7</b> is a version of the world renowned electric Super AVA Pro-e with flaps and ailerons. It is called Super AVA Pro-e 4 Flap by other dealers, but we like the idea of a name to evoke legends!
The Super AVA Pro is a wonderful model with brilliant soaring capabilities, but many modellers have asked for a version with flaps and ailerons, to improve manoeuvrability and allow more accurate landings. The Avalon 3.7 with its large flaps and ailerons fulfils these requirements in several ways:- easier entry into and exit from thermal turns; the airfoil�s camber can be optimised in flight; walking speed accurate landings with 85 degrees of flap and the ailerons set for crow braking.
Highlights of the Avalon 3.7:
{bullet}
The large 3.7m span results in a very low sink rate, and has a large visual footprint, allowing the model to be flown further away than smaller soarers.
The fully articulated wing allows the model to outclimb others in weak lift, and also to penetrate back upwind after following a thermal to the limits of vision.
The Avalon wing planform has been optimised to be nearly elliptical, and the construction of the tip panels utilises a carbon D-box for stiffness and strength. Good adherence to the airfoil profile also gives a useful drag reduction.
The massive flap is bottom hinged, allowing the model to be slowed to walking pace and making accurate landings child's play.
The Avalon's high aspect ratio tailplane has a carbon D-box construction, increasing strength and reducing trim drag.
The fin has a molded fixed portion, with a low drag central tailboom attachment that allows the fin to be removed making the Avalon more transportable.
The electric fuselage has a beautifully executed canopy hatch allowing the battery to be inserted and connected easily, improving safety and usability on the field.
The pod also has a carefully engineered wing pylon to reduce interference drag. It is also very long allowing a smallish motor to be used to achieve the correct CG, and large propellers, for an efficient powertrain. Its rigid structure allows kilowatt sized motors to be installed for ultra fast climbs, if required.{endbullet}
Vladimir has taken the build to a new level of completeness, so the Avalon can be assembled in only a few hours. Work done in the factory to speed final assembly is as follows:-
{bullet}
The wing control surfaces have been hinged and the servo wires threaded into place.
All pushrods and horns have been fabricated, wires bent, etc.
Fitting the servos in the fin has been simplified.
The only work required to compete the model is to glue the boom to the pod; attach the V mount and fin, then install the powertrain & RC gear.{endbullet}
The Avalon is a thermal duration eSoaring model suitable for sports fliers and competition fliers alike, the fully articulated wing makes it great fun to fly, with responsive handling and a very wide speed range.

It has the largest wing of all the electric F5J models we sell (and probably the largest of this type in the world), giving the model an extremely low wing loading, and thus an amazingly low sink rate, and the ability to climb out in even the weakest of thermals. This combined with the very large visual footprint allows this model to be flown very high, and to excel at duration events, and sport flying on those perfect summer evenings we all dream of.
It uses the latest Ukrainian composite construction techniques and a modern aerodynamic design utilising Mark Drela's AG26 airfoil, optimised for high performance thermal duration planes. The low wing loading and generous dihedral gives excellent thermal climb performance, with the fully articulated wing controls allowing the model to be centred accurately in small turbulent thermals. The thin low drag airfoil works well over a surprisingly large speed range, allowing the model to be safely brought back after drifting far downwind. The large flap and ailerons allow steep slow final approaches, allowing even club pilots to score top landing points, and bring home the wood.
Like other highest performance thermal duration sailplanes the entire model is constructed using free-flight techniques. The wing is a balsa built-up carbon fibre and Kevlar D-box design that utilizes carbon capped balsa ribs and a carbon trailing edge. The open section wing and tail are covered with Ultracote Lite.
The fuselage is made of white gel-coated Kevlar cloth with carbon tapered boom and removable Kevlar nose cone to give good access to the electric motor and battery. The three piece wing and 2-piece conventional tail are easily removable for transport and storage. The rudder servo installs in the vertical stab, and the elevator servo fits in the end of the carbon fibre boom.
The fuselage pod is made from Kevlar so it is 2.4GHz friendly, making the installation of 2.4GHz RC straightforward.
The Pulsar 4e is a very high performance thermal duration eSoaring model, but its good handling makes it suitable for both sports fliers and competition fliers.

� �� �b�� BINGO
Bingo 2.5mi
The Bingo (also known as a Pulsar 2.5e) is an excellent intermediate size electric glider. It is beautifully made using the latest high tech composite construction techniques in Ukraine. The large ailerons and flaps give the model a very good feel in the air, and allow camber changing to optimise the wing section to the current task, whether it is maximising the lift by increasing camber to stay in the core of the thermal, or decreasing camber to allow the model to be flown back upwind with minimal height loss.
The lightweight three piece wing is very rigid and strong. It is built with a substantial Kevlar wrapped carbon spar, a Kevlar/carbon D-box, carbon capped ribs and a carbon trailing edge. The ailerons, flaps and rudder are pre-hinged with integral shrouds fitted to the flaps, making crow braking very effective, and ensuring accurate landings. The well proportioned V tail is removable and gives good control. The fuselage uses a removable nosecone to allow good access to the powertrain.

The <b>SkyLite Thermal-e</b> is a fun to fly smaller electric thermal soaring glider. The partially molded construction gives it an excellent performance, and keeps the weight and the cost down. The wing front part is of molded construction, with an integrated carbon spar. The rear of the wing is made from film covered CNC cut balsa ribs with a molded trailing edge. The wing joiner is a 5mm steel rod for maximum resilience, with the wings bolted onto the glass fibre 2.4GHz friendly fuselage. The fuselage is ready fitted with a firewall for easy motor mounting, and the larger than normal spinner diameter allows a small outrunner to fit in the fuselage without difficulty, greatly reducing the powertrain cost. The X tail is removable and is hinged with Kevlar. A full accessory pack is included.
The wing is fitted with large ready-hinged flaps to allow the model to be safely dived out of a thermal, and to assist with accurate landings.
The SkyLite Thermal-e is very similar to the Highlight 1.8 electric RC glider that used be popular in the UK. As these have only just arrived we only have a generic instruction guide for the Sky series range.

HYPER-23ME Hyper 2.3me�6 The <b>Hyper 2.3me</b> is an ultra lightweight 93" span electric soarer that excels in light air. It is beautifully made using the latest high tech composite construction techniques in Ukraine. The large ailerons and flaps give the model a very good feel in the air, and allow camber changing to optimise the wing section to the current task, whether it is maximising the lift by increasing camber to stay in the core of the thermal, or decreasing camber to allow the model to be flown back upwind with minimal height loss.
The lightweight three piece wing is very rigid and strong. It is built with a substantial Kevlar wrapped carbon spar, a Kevlar/carbon D-box, carbon capped ribs and a carbon trailing edge. The ailerons, flaps and rudder are pre-hinged, making crow braking very effective, and ensuring accurate landings. The removable tailplane and compact dimensions allow the model to be transported easily. The fuselage incorporates a large canopy hatch to give good access to the powertrain. The rudder servo is designed to be housed in the fin, with the elevator servo fitted in the rear of the pod. Control horns are supplied, but pushrods will need to be supplied by the builder.
See this {href,http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=719135, RCGroups Hyper 2.3 Build Thread} for a lot of useful info. However the fin and rudder servos are now at the rear, so the early balance difficulties are now fixed.

{b,Notes}
The canopy is held in place by two carbon tabs at the rear, and a tongue at the front. To release it unclip the rear tabs and ease it back.
The tailplane mount is already installed as part of the tailplane assembly, but is supplied pushed back into the void in the underside of the tailplane and isn't obviously articulated. To see it gently pull out the carbon mount, it rotates around the tubular spar.

<i>New Hyper 2.3ME!!!! From the Ukraine where all the best and lightest synergistic composite sailplanes are made comes newest Hyper the Hyper 2.3ME! Like the Hyper 2 ME the Hyper 2.3ME combines the technology from the Hyper DLG Sailplane with newer airfoils and longer wingspan, three piece wings with flaps(optional) and the ability to fly as an electric sailplane! Like all sailplanes form the Ukraine, the Hyper 2.3 ME is a technological breakthrough. A light, strong wing with a molded Carbon fiber leading edge and a blend of carefully machined ribs reinforced with carbon fiber and Kevlar, the Hyper 2.3 ME achieves strength and torsional rigidity reserved only for fully molded wings at literally half the weight.
This new Hyper has the lowest wingloading of any electric sailplane we have seen to date! The airframe is only 13.5 ounces! And that is with a wingspan of 92.5"! The span loading on the Hyper 2.3 ME is fantastic! The Hyper 2.3 ME is built very much like the Hyper 2 ME but with some pretty important changes! First the wingspan has been increased with very little addition of weight which results in a much improved L/D and better sinkrate. Second, the boom has been increased in length, with a larger horizontal tail to accommodate the increased wingspan. Third, the wings outer panels have been increased in length and the tips has built in twist to decrease drag at the tips while increasing stability. The overall effect ins dramatically increased performance with improved L/D and decreased sinkrate. Best of all you can use the same motor systems used on the Hyper 2.3ME and the Renny 2M
Like the Hyper 2ME here is the general description:
The workmanship on the Hyper 2.3ME is simply amazing! The tapered, spiral wrapped carbon fiber tail boom fits perfectly into the rear fitting on the fiberglass and carbon pod with fitted canopy. The interior of the fuselage is spacious enough to handle a Speed 400 geared motor or any brushless (up to speed 400 in size) that you wish to use. The ailerons and flaps are accurately built and pre-hinged to the wing. The trailing edges are a thin piece of carbon fiber for rigidity and strength. The tails are completely built up with carbon fiber at the trailing edges. The newest version sports a separate horizontal fin and elevator mounted on a small pylon with the vertical fin and rudder going through a slot at the back of the boom. As with all parts on the Hyper 2.3ME, what is evident is the attention to detail. A really beautiful setup that is light and very strong.
Portability is one of the strong points with the Hyper 2.3ME. The wing is three piece with hollow aluminum wing rods. The outer tips have the ailerons and the center section has the flap. Only one servo is needed for flap actuation making setup very easy. The horizontal stab is removable with one bolt so you can break down the Hyper to a flat package for shipping and transport. A perfect sailplane for taking on a vacation!
Similar to the Hyper DLG, the Hyper 2.3ME is a ship fully built and ready for radio installation. Only 5 servos are needed for the Hyper 2.3ME. We have used the S3110, DS285, HS-56B or the HS-55 servos with good results. Two are needed for the ailerons, one for the flaps, one each for the rudder and elevator. The ailerons are separately built and pre-hinged for you (Flaps too!). The ailerons are inboard of the wingtip by seven inches, allowing greater throw while still maintaining good control and airflow over the tips. The tips are fully curved and are angled upward from the outer tips, increasing overall dihedral. This makes for excellent fast response with no fear of a possible tip stall. The handling is very easy going on the Hyper 2.3ME. The tail has some very cool and unique features. First of all, the tail surfaces have fully curved leading edges and are built from balsa reinforced with carbon fiber with carbon fiber trailing edges. The stabilizer is full flying and is unique to the Hyper 2.3ME. The horizontal tail simply bolts onto a fitting on the back of the tailboom. The tail is hinged at this point so that it pivots right at the back of the boom resulting in a full flying stabilator. This gives the Hyper 2.3ME very smooth and positive pitch response with an absolute minimum of drag. The vertical fin mounts in front of the stabilizer assembly. The quality and fit of parts is the highest and installation of radio equipment should only take an evening. Overall perfect parts fit and good looks are already a given in Hyper 2.3ME.
We find that the Hyper is one of the lightest European production sailplanes and consequently will fly in very light lift. New airfoils that are currently being developed in Europe are easily becoming a match for some of the best American designed airfoils, but this one is better. The Hyper 2.3ME incorporates the drela designed airfoil and tweaked by some of the best in Eastern Europe. The result is a sailplane that is absolutely competitive in F5J competition. This is what the Hyper 2.3ME was made for! The airframe of the Hyper 2.3ME is only 13.5 ounces! This the lightest and still the strongest airframe of its size and type found anywhere! With the proper motor system the Hyper 2.3ME will climb rapidly to thermal height. The high aspect ratio, clean, and well-designed airframe/planform and the excellent choice of airfoils will result in a high L/D, low sinkrate, wide speed range,. This sailplane is perfectly balanced in design for thermal flying, because the wing will produce lift and low speeds and the shape and dihedral of this wing is ideally suited for thermal turns. The low drag design further enhances the ability of the Hyper 2.3ME to move from one thermal area to another. Due to the structure the handling is very light and immediate and this really becomes useful in working light lift or small strong thermals. Of all the competition ships that we have flown the Hyper is by far the easiest to fly and get the maximum performance with the least amount of tweaking. It seems to be very forgiving and once it enters it tends to stay in a thermal with very little persuading. We have been surprised by both the performance of this sailplane and just how easy it is to fly and thermal well.
This is a high performance thermalling sailplane and and needs the pro-per radio equipment to get the best out of this amazing sailplane. We suggest using a radio that is capable of handling flaps. For example, a JR 9303, Stylus, Futaba 9C Super will all work fine. Since the Hyper 2.3ME has only one flap servo for the center section, only one flap channel is needed, so for the more economy minded the Eclipse 7 or even the Optic 6 will work fine.
Servos are an important decision for any performance sailplane and the Hyper 2.3ME is no different in this respect. We suggest using S3114 servos for the ailerons, elevator and rudder and using one HS-65MG for the flaps. This gives you the best combination of performance, lightest weight and are still very economical. If using a standard 72Mhz system we highly recommend the Berg 7 channel receiver as it is very small and light.
We suggest the Hacker B20-15L with 4-1 Planetary geardrive as the best motor for this sailplane. It will give you very low weight but amazing performance. The Mini Axi system is a acceptable low cost alternative.
Note: The Hyper 2.3ME is ideal for many of the new brushless F5J competitions happening all over the Country. The flying weight is very low but with this large wingspan you not only be able to thermal in the lightest lift but you be able to range farther than any of the typical 1.8 - 2 Meter designs
Please see our motor system below:
Mini Axi Motor System-Li-Poly!
Mini Axi Extreme Brushless motor with 6-1 inline reduction drive, Phoenix 25 Brushless speed control, folding prop system with hub, adapter and spinner), 3-cell 1320 mah Li-poly Battery pack and all hardware. This system is one of the lightest ways to go and have excellent performance and climb!
Hacker B20L Motor System-Li-Poly!
Ultimate in lightweight performance, this motor system simply rocks! We use the Hacker B20-15L with Maxon 4.4-1 Planetary Geardrive, Phoenix 25 Brushless Sensorless speed Control, aluminum 30mm spinner, Graupner Cam Folding prop, 3-cell 1320 mah ThunderPower 20C battery pack, and all hardware and connectors. This is the ultimate in lightweight, thermal and motor performance.
Sal Says:
Quite a bit of testing and research went into this new Hyper 2.3ME and the results have been amazing. This the lightest, highest performance electric sailplane in our series of "ultralights" to date! The extremely low sinkrate has to be experienced to be believed and the dramatically improved L/D makes this a ship that can easily keep up with much larger sailplanes. We have found that you can work the lightest lift from below tree top level and still the longer span makes the Hyper 2.3ME easier to see and longer distanmces giving you the ability to reach those far away thermals. I have found that if you can't find lift with the Hyper 2.3ME there isn't any!</i>

' � � � � J � � � � � � � � � b1�^ [ � �b�� TASER-CARBON Taser Carbon�
The <b>Taser Carbon</b> is a very lightweight thermal soarer designed by the renowned Podivin Composite Modellbau team. This Austrian manufacturer is best know for their Fireworks series of competition winning discus launched gliders. It is just like the standard model but the wing and V tail have a carbon fibre cloth skin. Apart from looking great this makes the wing a lot stronger, reducing hangar rash and allowing high energy aerobatics, but only adds a little to the weight.
<img src="extras/taser-carbon.jpg" alt="Taser Carbon wing skin">
The model is a fully molded 2m electric glider intended mainly for competitive and sport thermal soaring. The carbon layup wing shows off the carbon weave beautifully, and the lack of gelcoat helps keep the weight down to a minimum. The advanced design by Marcus Podivin uses a mixture of computer assistance and careful flight testing, with stepwise refinement to arrive at a perfect compromise of performance, flying characteristics and resilience.
The near elliptical two piece wing has of 7 degrees of dihedral, giving it good stability, especially in tight thermal turns. Its thin Drela airfloils and large camber changing flap/ailerons give the Taser a large speed range, allowing it to be used in winds up to about 15mph. The flaps and ailerons are expertly gap sealed, to minimise drag and ensure excellent control feel. The flaps and ailerons are supplied joined, in one piece, so the model can be setup to use two servos on flaperons, or four servos controlling the flaps and ailerons separately.
The all carbon fuselage has a removable carbon canopy hatch. The fuselage is very slim, reducing drag, but requiring small RC gear, and a small powertrain. The model is easily transported with its two-piece wings and compact V tail. The Taser is almost completely built at the factory, very little work is required to finish it.

The low dihedral and good sized ailerons make it responsive and fun to fly and the partially molded construction gives it an excellent performance. This model is strong and resilient. The wing front part is of molded construction, with an integral carbon spar. The rear of the wing is made from film covered CNC cut balsa ribs with a molded trailing edge. The wing joiner is a 4mm steel rod for maximum resilience, with the wings bolted onto the glass fibre 2.4GHz friendly fuselage. A full accessory pack is included.
The wing is fitted with large ready-hinged ailerons for excellent controlability. By using crow braking the model can be dived out of a thermal, and landed accurately.
The SkyLite Mini is very similar to the Highlight Speed 1.5m glider that used be popular in the UK. As these have only just arrived we only have a generic instruction guide for the Sky series range. A small discount may be given to any modeller able to help producing a specific guide for this model - phone for more info.

This model is designed to be particularly light, and very strong. The wing front part is of molded construction, with an integrated carbon spar. The rear of the wing is made from film covered CNC cut balsa ribs with a molded trailing edge. The wing joiner is a 4mm steel rod for maximum resilience, with the wings bolted onto the glass fibre 2.4GHz friendly fuselage. The fuselage is ready fitted with a firewall for easy motor mounting, and the larger than normal spinner diameter allows a small outrunner to fit in the fuselage without difficulty, greatly reducing the powertrain cost. The V tail is removable and is hinged with Kevlar. A full accessory pack is included.
The wing is fitted with large ready-hinged aileron, which can be used as flapperons (with a suitable transmitter) to allow the model to be safely dived out of a thermal, and to assist with accurate landings.

/ � _� � � � � � � � � � 2 R��� � � �b�� SUPER-MINI-TOPSKY Super Mini Topsky DLG - B GradeI {b, The latest batch of Super Mini Topsky DLGs have small cosmetic moulding imperfections and are being sold as B grade. They are 100% normal strength and will still fly superbly.}
The Super Mini Topsky is a fun to fly mini discus launched glider with ailerons, making it suitable for light wind slope soaring as well as flat field thermal soaring. It is very tough and flies excellently, making it a great first aileron glider.
This lovely little model is supplied as a very complete kit, requiring a few evenings to put together. The kit includes a complete accessory pack, including all linkages and a plug and socket for connecting the aileron servos. See the good installation manual (link below) for more info. The manual recommends a bit too much dihedral, we suggest 4� to 6�, so for DLG flying pack up each wing 3.5 cm to 5 cm (or one wing 7 cm - 10 cm) when joining them. If you are building the models mainly for slope soaring you can reduce the dihedral to nothing if you want. The model will be more aerobatic, but will require more skill to thermal correctly.

Independent Super Mini Topsky model review:
{video, GowG76ou_jM}
{video,nEGYDdninWQ} � x � c � D � � � � � � � � � W��� � �b�� SUPER-TOPSKY-2Super Topsky 2 DLG The Super Topsky 2 is an economical, fun, and lightweight discus launched glider. Its Drela airfoils and low weight make it a surprisingly good DLG, and its kevlar, carbon and blue foam construction ensure it is tough and ding proof, making it ideal for sport rough and tumble flying off the flat or small slopes. The performance enhancement over the previous Topsky 2 Viper version come from:
a) Improved aerodynamics. The wing was upgraded to a 3-panel planform from the original 2-panel design. This allows the designer to match the chord of the wing to the selected airfoil more accurately to yield higher efficiency, and also decrease the area of the wing, reducing drag. The resulting reduced wetted area and slightly higher wing loading allows the Super Topsky 2 to range further, fly faster, and launch higher.
b) Improved structure. The wing now has a very strong carbon D-box front part, with the rear of the wing covered in lightweight Kevlar. The Kevlar fuselage pod also sports carbon fiber reinforcing, and a lightweight wrapped carbon boom. The nicely finished tailplane and fin are of lightweight glass and carbon over blue foam construction.
This lovely model is supplied as a very complete kit, requiring little construction. The kit includes a complete accessory pack, including all linkages and a plug and socket for connecting the aileron servos. The laser cut ply pieces supplied make up a jig to help with aligning the tail when gluing it in place. See the {href,getfile.asp?code=SUPER-TOPSKY-2&code2=2,Super Topsky Tail Installation Guide}. The otherwise good {href,getfile.asp?code=SUPER-TOPSKY-2&code2=1,Super Topsky Installation Manual} doesn't mention this.
Also see {href,http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1121424, this RC Groups build thread} for up to date info. The current models do not have the disser criss-cross carbon wing reinforcement shown in the bottom photo.
This model is supplied with separate left and right wings, and with carbon material supplied to reinforce the join. This allows the modeller to set the dihedral to an angle suitable for the intended flying style - 6.3� if mostly DLG flying from the flat, or a much lower dihedral angle (2� recommended) if the model will mostly be used on the slope. This option, and the rugged bagged solid foam wing with a strong DBox, make the Super Topsky 2 one of our best DLG type gliders for slope soaring on not too windy days.

'Jeff coles' <soarneck@live.ca> \�pH! � �b�( SUPRA-PRO-SC#Supra Pro Competition Spread Carbon� {BR, This is last year's model but it is still a brilliant glider! It flies just as well and I doubt that anyone could tell the difference when flying the Expert and Competition versions. Get a bargain while it is still available.}
The Supra Pro Competition Spread Carbon has a complete carbon skinned wing, making it more rigid and tough, while also being lighter than even the glass layup wing. The wing skin is constructed from a new spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko and made by specially designed machines in his state of the art facilities. The model incorporates the "competition" lightweight built-up tailplane and fin, making the model lighter than normal, and perfect for competition use. The Supra Competition Spread Carbon is the most optimised for success!
Taking advantage of new materials and improved design, Vladimir's Models have achieved a unique combination of light wing loading and low inertia, in addition to high strength and stiffness. This results in a plane that not only delivers fast starts and precise landings, but also soars well in even the slightest lift.
The model is completely prefabricated, with very little work required to get it flyable - just install your radio gear.

The wing uses a new internal structure, making it more torsionally rigid and flutter resistant.
<img src="extras/Supra-Carbon-Wing-Cutaway-600.jpg" alt="Supra Carbon Light Spar">
The new spar is made from T800 ultra high modulus carbon, reducing weight and increasing stiffness.
<img src="extras/SUPRA-Spar-Cutaway-600.jpg" alt="Supra Carbon Wing Cutaway">
The structure has been computer modelled and scientifically tested, but the old ways are certainly more eye catching.

<b>Advantages of the Supra Pro Competition's Spread Carbon Wing Skin</b>
1) Ligher and stiffer structure allows the model to be launched quicker, and ping higher.
2) Reduced AUW gives a lower sink rate, increasing duration.
3) Reduced weight at the extremeties decreases inertia, so thermals are seen more easily.
4) Tougher wing skin reduces hangar rash and landing damage, so the model stays looking new.
<b>Advantages of the Supra Pro Competition's Built-Up Tail </b>
1) The weight of the horizontal stabilizer is reduced by 7 grams, eliminating 15 grams of nose ballast.
2) The area of the horizontal stabilizer is increased by 7%, increasing stability, or allowing a more rearward CG, facilitating a further nose weight reduction.
3) Weight of the vertical stabilizer is reduced by 10 grams, eliminating 23 grams of nose ballast.
4) Stiffness and strength of the horizontal stabilizer is increased due to D-box and CF spar from T800 prepreg.
5) Improved accuracy of the tail airfoil due to new CAD/CAM built-up manufacturing process.
6) Reduction of weight at the extremities reduces the moment of inertia, increasing lift indication.
7) Improved control, especially at low landing speed.
Supra Competition kit has an assembled fuselage with a demountable vertical stabilizer, for easier transportation. The vertical stabilizer is fixed by a carbon pin. Please fix the pin in place with glued tape before flight. The model is supplied with wing connection plugs and sockets and wiring harness for connecting up the wing servos.

The Hyperion Atlas DS09 range is an excellent 9 mm thick servo. The AMD variant has metal gears, and a very good 2.4 Kg.cm torque. The speed is good enough for 95% of glider and electric model installations. Despite the metal gears there is no slop in the geartrain, and with the very small deadband, the servo is ideal for all control surfaces.
At only 9 mm thick this superb wing-servo can easily fit in very thin wings. With 2.4 kg.cm torque and a reasonably good 0.18s/60� speed it is excellent for flaps, ailerons, elevator and rudder on many high performance gliders, DLGs, electric gliders, and faster sport slopers.

Please contact us. � � � � � � � � � � � � � � R��_� ��b�� STARKStark 2018 DLG@ The {b,Stark 2018} is a superb discus launched glider from LD Models which has been compared with the Stobel for its outstanding performance. Its excellent wing design and slim fuselage give it the highest levels of performance, however it is easy to fly and will bring out the best in all fliers. The 2018 version we are now stocking has updated wing layups and colour schemes, making it lighter and more attractive.
The Stark 2018 is supplied with {b,Checkerboard Carbon DBox layup wing.} This is bullet proof and suitable for all throwers and all conditions. This strong layup makes it especially good for slope usage. XPS wing core.
The one piece fuselage is molded from spread carbon with a carbon carbon hatch. The tail has a small pylon on which the tailplane is mounted. The wings and tail are molded over solid foam cores, making the models much tougher and ding proof than hollow molded models of similar light weight. The aileron servos are usually mounted in the wing, with just the rudder and elevators servos mounted in the fuselage.
The aerodynamics have been optimised over three years, going through several iterations of airfoil and planform, with the final version a great improvement over their previous offering. The Stark DLG model is ideal for customers looking for maximum flying performance and model toughness, for the money. The finish of the parts is less good than some competing DLGs but this does not affect the performance in any way.
The main photos show the previous version and colour schemes. The current models have an all carbon fuselage.
The model comes with control horns and a nice throwing blade. Pushrod and/or pull-spring wire needs to be supplied by the builder. We recommend our {pref,BOWDEN-CABLE-08-14,HyperFlight 0.8/1.4 Pushrod Set} and {pref, PIANO-WIRE-20, 20 SWG piano wire}.

This allows it to be used with a 2S LiPo receiver battery without a voltage regulator, reducing cost and increasing reliability - and allowing useful rx battery voltage info to be transmitted back to the pilot when using modern telemetry radios.
The Ripmax SD150, like the D60 is a precision 9 g analogue servo with a good torque and excellent centring. It has a low backlash geartrain and can be used for all control surfaces. Suitable for models weighing up to 2 Kg.
Another benefit of the SD150 (and D60) is the very low operating current. This increases the flight time of the model by about 40% in comparison to a similar digital servo.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � j� YJ]� . � �b�� FU-FIX-BEARING"Fu-Fix External Bearing Kit (pair)� To maximise a glider's performance it is <b>essential</b> that the flaps and ailerons have totally slop free linkages, so the airfoil camber can be accurately adjusted during flight, to optimise the airfoil for the current flight condition, be it launch, thermal hunting, circling in a thermal, or beating upwind through sink.
The <b>Fu-Fix External Bearing Kit</b> increases the rigidity of the linkage, and reduces compliance and slop in flap and aileron linkages by providing a structural fixing on the other side of the output arm from the servo body, changing the output arm mechanism from being cantilevered on the top of the servo, to being fully supported. This massively reduces the forces on, and thus the compliance of, the servo body.
<i>This bearing kit is the most cost effective, and possibly easiest way to create rock solid linkages that allow modern high resolution servos to accurately control the wing trailing edge. </i>
Select the correct kit according to the thread size of the output arm fixing screw for your servos. The kit replaces the normal output arm fixing screw with a new threaded shaft fits inside a ball race that is mounted in a bearing block. This block is glued to the wing (preferably to both the upper and lower wing skins), as shown in some of the photos.
<i>Two bearings supplied in each kit. Use the table below to identify the correct size, and select this size using the </i>Available Options<i> drop down box below the price.</i>

The Zippy 2S 700 mAh LiFe has easily enough capacity to fly an average four servo model for 2.5-3 hours, or more, depending upon the servos.
A two cell (2S) LiFe battery produces 6.6 volts nominal, which is nearly a volt less than a 2 cell LiPo battery. LiFe batteries have a good discharge curve that is flatter than that of a NiMH battery (less voltage drop with discharge or load), and without the risk of fire that exists when a LiPo battery is abused. Additionally, when used as a receiver pack, for most 2.4GHz receivers and many servos, a LiFe battery eliminates the need for a voltage regulator, which reduces the risk of failure by eliminating a component that could potentially fail.

� � � � � � � � d W�i� `��`�� JJ-EDGE%JJ Edge ARTF DLG (wing servos fitted) The <i>JJ Edge</i> is a superb all molded implementation of Gerald Taylor's ground breaking <b>Edge</b> design. Widely acknowledged as the next stage on from the Super Gee II, this model incorporates Mr Taylor's state of the art custom airfoils to allow the model to launch very high and to range far. The higher than usual flying speed allows the model to cope with wind well, and the superb finish and detail design get the best from the advanced aerodynamics.
The JJ Edge's wing is supplied with two Hyperion DS09-SCD servos already installed, with superbly engineered low drag linkages to the flaperon. The flaperon horns hardly extend above the wing surface, so no fairing is required, making an ultra clean installation. The flaperon have wipers installed, so the drag stays low for all camber positions.
The light tailplane is also beautifully molded, and has the elevator ready hinged, a torque spring installed, and a horn fitted.
The fuselage is a one piece molding, 2.4GHz friendly Kevlar at the front, changing to carbon from the wing backwards. The boom is molded to an oval shape, for increased stiffness, and thus facilitate higher launches. The rear of the boom incorporates a pylon for the tailplane, which also acts as a fairing for the elevator horn, so the horn and pullstring are out of the airflow, creating a drag-free control linkage. A Kevlar pull string for the elevator is included, so the only work required for the RC installation is fitting the elevator servo.
The fuselage also incorporates a ballast tube, and the molded 40g and 80g ballast slugs allow the model to be flown in a very wide range of wind speeds. The canopy hatch has a fixing mechanism installed.
The kit includes two weights of ballast, installed control linkages, the throwing peg, wing covers, and a complete wiring harness. No soldering or extension leads are required to connect the radio.
The excellent detail design and superb finish really sets this model apart from most discus launched gliders, and contribute to its top level performance. The good fit, finish, and completeness reduce the build time very considerably. Only a few hours are required to glue the fin and launch peg in place, and install elevator servo. The model comes with a rudderless fin, but a Kevlar living hinge has been molded in, so if a rudder is preferred it can easily be cut free.
The model is available in full spread tow carbon for �80 above the base version which has a carbon DBox only. Also a DBox and disser (criss cross carbon) version is available for �30 extra. See the Options combo box below the price to choose the layup and colour.

This practical hollow molded model is stiff, and comparatively tough, considering the low weight. The model has an impressive competiton pedigree, placing first in the Polish Nationals, being used in the recent F3K World Championships, and placing 27th in the 2011 Eurotour Trophy.
The one piece wing has the position of the wing mounted servos molded into the bottom wing skin. The disser (criss-cross carbon tows added to the layup to increase torsional rigidity) reinforcement ensures good stiffness, and the optional Dbox offers a bullet proof leading edge. Flaperon wipers are installed, to minimise profile drag for all camber positions.
The very light tailplane and fin also have carbon disser reinforcements, and have the elevator and rudder ready hinged.
The fuselage is a compact one piece molding, 2.4GHz friendly Kevlar at the front, changing to carbon from the wing backwards. The boom is molded to an diamond shape, for increased stiffness, and thus facilitate higher launches.
The model comes with carbon pushrod inners and outer tubes, the throwing peg, pushrod wires, and other accessories. Two weights of ballast are also available as extras.
The model is available in two wing layups:
{bullet}
Disser on XPS foam
Carbon Dbox plus disser on Rohacel foam (extra �50)

R��� `� �`�� AVALON-GAvalon 3.7 Glider� The Vladimir's Models <b>Avalon 3.7</b> is a version of the world renowned Super AVA Pro glider with flaps and ailerons. It is called Super AVA Pro 4 Flap by other dealers, but we like the idea of a name to evoke legends!
The Super AVA Pro is a wonderful model with brilliant soaring capabilities, but many modellers have asked for a version with flaps and ailerons, to improve manoeuvrability and allow more accurate landings. The Avalon 3.7 with its large flaps and ailerons fulfils these requirements in several ways:- easier entry into and exit from thermal turns; the airfoil�s camber can be optimised in flight; walking speed accurate landings with 85 degrees of flap and the ailerons set for crow braking.
Highlights of the Avalon 3.7:
{bullet}
The large 3.7m span results in a very low sink rate, and has a large visual footprint, allowing the model to be flown further away than smaller soarers.
The fully articulated wing allows the model to outclimb others in weak lift, and also to penetrate back upwind after following a thermal to the limits of vision.
The Avalon wing planform has been optimised to be nearly elliptical, and the construction of the tip panels utilises a carbon D-box for stiffness and strength. Good adherence to the airfoil profile also gives a useful drag reduction.
The massive flap is bottom hinged, allowing the model to be slowed to walking pace and making accurate landings child's play.
The Avalon's high aspect ratio tailplane has a carbon D-box construction, increasing strength and reducing trim drag.
The fin has a molded fixed portion, with a low drag central tailboom attachment that allows the fin to be removed making the Avalon more transportable.
The pod also has a carefully engineered wing pylon to reduce interference drag. It is also very long allowing a smallish motor to be used to achieve the correct CG, and large propellers, for an efficient powertrain. Its rigid structure allows kilowatt sized motors to be installed for ultra fast climbs, if required.{endbullet}
Vladimir has taken the build to a new level of completeness, so the Avalon can be assembled in only a few hours. Work done in the factory to speed final assembly is as follows:-
{bullet}
The wing control surfaces have been hinged and the servo wires threaded into place.
All pushrods and horns have been fabricated, wires bent, etc.
Fitting the servos in the fin has been simplified.
The only work required to compete the model is to glue the boom to the pod; attach the V mount and fin, then install the powertrain & RC gear.{endbullet}
The Avalon is a thermal duration model suitable for sports fliers and competition fliers alike, the fully articulated wing makes it great fun to fly, with responsive handling and a very wide speed range.

The good quality high impact strength plastic gears are a perfect fit, making the geartrain totally slop-free, and with the very small deadband, the servo is ideal for all control surfaces.
At only 9 mm thick this superb wing-servo can easily fit in very thin wings. With 2 kg.cm torque and an excellent 0.13s/60� speed it is excellent for DLG flaperons, ailerons, elevator and rudder on many high performance gliders, DLGs, electric gliders, and sport slopers.

It has enough capacity to fly an average four servo discus launched glider for 2-3 hours (or more), depending upon the servos used.
A two cell (2S) LiFe battery produces 6.6 volts nominal, which is nearly a volt less than a 2 cell LiPo battery. LiFe batteries have a good discharge curve that is flatter than that of a NiMH battery (less voltage drop with discharge or load), and without the risk of fire that exists when a LiPo battery is abused. Additionally, when used as a receiver pack, for most 2.4GHz receivers and many servos, a LiFe battery eliminates the need for a voltage regulator, which reduces the risk of failure by eliminating a component that could potentially fail.

STORK-4EVStork 4e V Tail F5J� The {b,Stork 4e v Tail F5J} is the latest version of the highly regarded line of competition F3J and F5J models. The model is strong and reasonably light, with a lighter wing layup than the glider version. The attractive lines and excellent handling characteristics make this plane an excellent choice for sport and competition pilots. The model has a good L/D, so ranges well, and its easy handling ensures good climbs, even in weak conditions. The large flaps are capable of 85 degree deployment, allowing precise spot landings without any damage, maximising competition scores.
The nicely finished three piece wing and removable V tail ensure easy transportation. The roomy fuse is strong glass/Kevlar 2.4GHz friendly layup, with carbon reinforcements. The already installed fuselage pushrods and molded servo cut-outs make the build fast, and accurate. The large 42mm firewall diameter allows outrunner motors to be used, reducing the powertrain cost, and increasing convenience.
The model has a very good competition success record in continental Europe and the UK, with dozens of wins, including at the UK Nationals. More than anything, this proves the excellent performance, handling, and ruggedness - competition pilots demand the best, and do not baby their models!

Maxa 4 F3J} The {b,Maxa 4} is Vladimir's Models latest and best ever F3J thermal soarer. It features an advanced design by Joe Wurts, the legendary Word Championship winner of all glider classes, and professional aerodynamicist. Joe spent many months optimising the Maxa for the F3J thermal soaring class, but the large size, light weight, high aspect ratio, and well cambered airfoils also makes it ideal for sport flying.
The large size and extreme light weight have been made possible by a new spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko and made by specially designed machines in his impressive fabrication facility. The wing is a monocoque structure with a skin of a double layer of spread carbon strengthened with a F3J strength spar made with a multi-ply 45� balsa and carbon shear web between substantial IMS 65 carbon spar caps. We are mostly stocking the "Light" (which used to be called the Hard Spread carbon) version. The even stronger slightly heavier "Windy" (double Hard Spread carbon) version is available to order if not in stock.
In mid 2012 the tailplane (called horizontal stabiliser or elevator in some countries) size was increased by about 10%. The latest 2013 models include a 13 cm longer tailboom to further increase stability and controllability.

Cut away drawing of the Maxa spar, showing the IMS 65 carbon spar caps, amd the +/- 45� balsa/carbon/balsa ply spar web.
{img, extras/F3J-Maxa-spar.jpg,Maxa spar construction}
The fuselage is a well engineered Kevlar and carbon pod, with a diagonally wound spread carbon boom, and fin mounted cruciform tail. The model is totally complete, and almost no assembly is required. The tail pushrods are ready installed, and all the hardware is supplied for the wing servo installation. The model comes with a ballast tube and a wiring harness. The benefits of the Maxa include:
{bullet}
The Maxa�s aerodynamic qualities have been modelled to a new level of accuracy and by Joe Wurts. In the process Joe designed a new family of airfoils and optimised the shape of the model to get the best from the new spread carbon composites being developed by Vladimir. The result is a very low sink rate that ensures the longest duration in no-thermal conditions, while also maintaining gentle handling that inspires confidence from the first flight.
The Maxa�s low wing loading and inertia makes it very respond to tiny air disturbances, allowing small bubbles to be detected and worked from low down, allowing short F3J tows and high scores.
The Maxa 4�s large span allows it to be seen further away than smaller models, allowing a larger volume of air to be searched, and thermals worked for longer. This is especially important for the 15 minute flyoff task.
The excellent lift/drag ratio, especially at higher speeds, gives good penetration, and thus the ability for the glider to return from distant thermals with little altitude loss.
The long nose moment means little weight is required to balance the model, keeping the wing loading low, and the launch acceleration high.
As the ballast system allows the model�s weight can be tuned to the conditions, allowing the Maxa to shine in even the strongest wind.
{endbullet}
This combination of state of the art aerodynamics, low weight, and a good size makes the Maxa 4 the best model for competitive F3J soaring, bar none. See this RCGroups {href, http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1488021, Maxa discussion} and the Vladimir's Models {href,http://f3j.in.ua/en/maxa-family.html, Maxa 4} page for a lot more info.

The rest of the wing is okay, apart from the extreme left Dbox, which is a little cracked. This could be repaired wirth CA with an optional thin glass cloth covering. The spar is fine.
The left flap's leading edge and trailing edge seem to be undamaged, but many of the ribs have been broken. To repair the flap the covering will need to be removed, and many of the flap's ribs will have to be replaced. Despite looking bad, I estimate this work could be undertaken in about 12 hours, and the repaired wing would be only a few grams heavier than normal, and would fly superbly.
Apart from fitting an Avalon, this centre panel will fit all AVA Pro models, so it is a way of creating a unique flapped Super or Hyper AVA Pro aircraft.

The FMD variant has metal gears, and a very good 4.5 Kg.cm torque. The speed is good enough for 95% of glider and electric model installations. Despite the metal gears there is no slop in the geartrain, and with the very small deadband, the servo is ideal for all wing surfaces.
At only 9.5 mm thick this superb wing-servo can easily fit in very thin wings. With brilliant 4.5 Kg.cm torque and a reasonably good 0.18s-0.15s/60� speed it is excellent for flaps and ailerons on many high performance gliders, electric gliders, and faster slope soarers. It is alos suitable for RC jet models and all fast models with thin wings.

This battery works very well with the many modern RC components that work directly with 8.4V (2S) battery supplies. We get at least 2.5 hours of flying time on our test Elf, fitted with a Jeti Duplex R5 receiver, two SD100 servos, and a Jeti Vario sensor. The very small loads on the servo mean that the battery's small capacity is ample for this model. All these components worked fine on the 2S unregulated battery.
We use a Jeti Box on the transmitter to check the receiver battery voltage - stop flying when the receiver voltage goes down to 7V. Charge at 100 mA - 200 mA (max) using a suitable LiPo charger.

It is beautifully made using the latest high tech composite construction techniques in Ukraine. The large ailerons and flaps give the model a very good feel in the air, and allow camber changing to optimise the wing section to the current task, whether it is maximising the lift by increasing camber to stay in the core of the thermal, or decreasing camber to allow the model to be flown back upwind with minimal height loss.
The lightweight three piece wing is very rigid and strong. It is built with a substantial Kevlar wrapped carbon spar, a Kevlar/carbon D-box, carbon capped ribs and a carbon trailing edge. The ailerons, flaps and rudder are pre-hinged, making crow braking very effective, and ensuring accurate landings. The removable tailplane and compact dimensions allow the model to be transported easily. The fuselage incorporates a large canopy hatch to give good access to the powertrain. The rudder servo is designed to be housed in the fin, with the elevator servo fitted in the rear of the pod. Control horns are supplied, but pushrods will need to be supplied by the builder.
See this {href,http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=719135, RCGroups Hyper 2.3 Build Thread} for a lot of useful info. However the fin and rudder servos are now at the rear, so the early ballance difficulties are now fixed.

{b,Notes}
The canopy is held in place by two carbon tabs at the rear, and a tongue at the front. To release it unclip the rear tabs and ease it back.
The tailplane mount is already installed as part of the tailplane assembly, but is supplied pushed back into the void in the underside of the tailplane and isn't obviously articulated. To see it gently pull out the carbon mount, it rotates around the tubular spar.
<b>The info below was written by Sal of NESail, and despite being a bit dated and OTT it does provide some useful info. </b>
<i>From the Ukraine where all the best and lightest synergistic composite sailplanes are made comes the Hyper 2ME. The Hyper combines the technology from the Hyper DLG Sailplane with newer airfoils and longer wingspan, three piece wings with flaps(optional) and the ability to fly as an electric sailplane! Like all sailplanes form the Ukraine, the Hyper 2ME is a technological breakthrough. A light, strong wing with a molded Carbon fiber leading edge and a blend of carefully machined ribs reinforced with carbon fiber and Kevlar, the Hyper 2ME achieves strength and torsional rigidity reserved only for fully molded wings at literally half the weight.
The workmanship on the Hyper 2ME is simply amazing! The tapered, spiral wrapped carbon fiber tail boom fits perfectly into the rear fitting on the fiberglass and carbon pod with fitted canopy. The interior of the fuselage is spacious enough to handle a Speed 400 geared motor or any brushless (up to speed 400 in size) that you wish to use. The ailerons and flaps are accurately built and pre-hinged to the wing. The trailing edges are a thin piece of carbon fiber for rigidity and strength. The tails are completely built up with carbon fiber at the trailing edges. The newest version sports a separate horizontal fin and elevator mounted on a small pylon with the vertical fin and rudder going through a slot at the back of the boom. As with all parts on the Hyper 2ME, what is evident is the attention to detail. A really beautiful setup that is light and very strong.
Portability is one of the strong points with the Hyper 2ME. The wing is three piece with hollow aluminum wing rods. The outer tips have the ailerons and the center section has the flap. Only one servo is needed for flap actuation making setup very easy. The horizontal stab is removable with one bolt so you can break down the Hyper to a flat package for shipping and transport. A perfect sailplane for taking on a vacation!
Similar to the Hyper DLG, the Hyper 2ME is a ship fully built and ready for radio installation. Only 5 servos are needed for the Hyper 2ME. We have used the S3110, DS285, HS-56B or the HS-55 servos with good results. Two are needed for the ailerons, one for the flaps, one each for the rudder and elevator. The ailerons are separately built and pre-hinged for you (Flaps too!). The ailerons are inboard of the wingtip by seven inches, allowing greater throw while still maintaining good control and airflow over the tips. The tips are fully curved and are angled upward from the outer tips, increasing overall dihedral. This makes for excellent fast response with no fear of a possible tip stall. The handling is very easy going on the Hyper 2ME. The tail has some very cool and unique features. First of all, the tail surfaces have fully curved leading edges and are built from balsa reinforced with carbon fiber with carbon fiber trailing edges. The stabilizer is full flying and is unique to the Hyper 2ME. The horizontal tail simply bolts onto a fitting on the back of the tailboom. The tail is hinged at this point so that it pivots right at the back of the boom resulting in a full flying stabilator. This gives the Hyper 2ME very smooth and positive pitch response with an absolute minimum of drag. The vertical fin mounts in front of the stabilizer assembly. The quality and fit of parts is the highest and installation of radio equipment should only take an evening. Overall perfect parts fit and good looks are already a given in Hyper 2ME.
We find that the Hyper is one of the lightest European production sailplanes and consequently will fly in very light lift. New airfoils that are currently being developed in Europe are easily becoming a match for some of the best American designed airfoils, but this one is better. The Hyper 2ME incorporates the drela designed airfoil and tweaked by some of the best in Eastern Europe. The result is a sailplane that is absolutely competitive in F5J competition. This is what the Hyper 2ME was made for! The airframe of the Hyper 2ME is only 10.5 ounces! This the lightest and still the strongest airframe of its size and type found anywhere! At NSP, we know sailplane competition and we think this is the perfect vehicle for Speed 400 F5J competition. With the proper motor system the Hyper 2ME will climb rapidly to thermal height. The high aspect ratio, clean, and well-designed airframe/planform and the excellent choice of airfoils will reselect in a high L/D, low sinkrate, wide speed range,. This sailplane is perfectly balanced in design for thermal flying, because the wing will produce lift and low speeds and the shape and dihedral of this wing is ideally suited for thermal turns. The low drag design further enhances the ability of the Hyper 2ME to move from one thermal area to another. Due to the structure the handling is very light and immediate and this really becomes useful in working light lift or small strong thermals. Of all the competition ships that we have flown the Hyper is by far the easiest to fly and get the maximum performance with the least amount of tweeking. It seems to be very forgiving and once it enters it tends to stay in a thermal with very little persuading. We have been surprised by both the performance of this sailplane and just how easy it is to fly and thermal well.
It is possible to fly at 18-20 ounces and the Hyper 2ME is extraordinary with this flight system.</i>

MKS 1.5A SBEC� The {b,MKS 1.5A SBEC} voltage regulator fits between the receiver and the servo, like a short extension lead. It allows the receiver to be powered by a 2S LiPo or 2S LiFe battery, and reduces the voltage to the servo to a safe 5V level, ensuring reliable operation and long servo life. It is particularly attractive for telemetry enabled receivers, as the pilot will be able to see the real unregulated battery voltage on his transmitter, not the regulated voltage you would see if the UBEC was fitted between the battery and the receiver.
{b,One SBEC is required for each servo.} This has the added safety advantage that if one servo short circuits or pulls too much current, only the supply to that servo will be shut down, not the complete RC system.
Note that confusingly SBEC is short for Safe BEC in MKS speak, as this device uses a linear regulator, not a switching type. This does mean that there are no switching harmonics, and the servo supply will be free of interference.
These MKS regulators can be modified so they fit between the battery and the receiver, making them suitable for discus launched gliders. See this {href,http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1806357,RCGroups} thread explaining how to rewire them.

The {b,Stork 4e X Tail F5} is the latest version of the highly regarded line of competition F3J and F5J models. The separate rudder and elevator controls give better control during thermalling and landing, and allow the model to be flown more precisely. This improved controllability is especially important for F5J landings, where hitting the spot can make all the difference to the final placing. The model is strong and light, with a lighter wing layup than the glider version. The attractive lines and excellent handling characteristics make this plane an excellent choice for competition pilots. The model has a good L/D, so ranges well, and its easy handling ensures good climbs, even in weak conditions. The large flaps are capable of 85 degree deployment, allowing precise spot landings without any damage, maximising competition scores.
The nicely finished three piece wing and removable vertical and horizontal tail surfaces ensure easy transportation. The roomy fuse is strong glass layup, with carbon reinforcements. The already installed fuselage pushrods and molded servo cut-outs make the build fast, and accurate. The large 42mm firewall diameter allows outrunner motors to be used, reducing the powertrain cost, and increasing convenience.
Even though this version didn�t come out till mid 2012 it has already won several prestigious competitions, including the F5J Eurocup in Hungary. This proves the excellent performance, handling, and ruggedness - competition pilots demand the best, and do not baby their models!

T$-� � ��b�0 SUPRA-EXPERT-E Supra Expert Electric F5J 3.4mT The Vladimir's Models {b,Supra Expert Electric} is the latest version of the electric Supra F5J. Despite its strong spar the spread carbon version can be built down to 1.35Kg, making it a great F5J thermal soarer. Its light weight has been made possible by a very light spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko, or by a tough but light Glass layup on the Glass Ultralight version. The wing is a monocoque structure with a skin of a double layer of spread carbon/glass strengthened with a strong spar made with a multi-ply 45� balsa and carbon shear web between substantial IMS 65 carbon spar caps. The fin and rudder are all molded in the latest versions.
The benefits of this version are:
{bullet}
Optionally includes IDS sets already fitted to the wings, so aileron and flaps servos can just be slotted into place in the ServoRahmen {href, products.asp?code=SRB-MKS-IDS,bearing fames} for MKS DS6100 and HV6100 servos. Optimised linkages are already fitted. See {href, http://f3j.in.ua/en/ids-servoframes-sets.html,Vladimir's site} and the photo below, showing how the wing is delivered.
{endbullet}
<img src="extras/Wing IDS Instllation-600.jpg" alt="IDS servo mount and LDS connecting rod">
{bullet}
New pylon mounted tailplane reduces drag and improves pitch control.
Fuselage pod designed for geared electric motors with a removable canopy hatch for easy access to a lightweight powertrain.
Ultralight molded fin and rudder for increased strength and resistance to transport damage.
New Ultralight molded tailplane (horizontal stabiliser). This is lighter and slightly larger, improving stability and reducing inertia.
Supplied with a lightweight wiring loom for the fuselage and wing connections.
{endbullet}
These improvements make it the best sub 3.5m plane for the UK's eSoaring and the FAI F5J class. This version will also be attractive to all pilots who prefer a lower weight model that excels in typical weak lift conditions, yet has the speed range to cope with 25 mph winds with ease.

BH-MINIMOABlack Horse Minimoa ARTF!
This almost ready to fly (ARTF) 3.4m Minimoa is designed for slope soaring and flat field thermaling from an aerotow, using the built-in tow release. The Minimoa is one of the most iconic gliders ever made. Every glider pilot has heard of it and most are captivated by its simple beauty. Designed in Germany in the halcyon days of gliding prior to WWII, it was flown by the top pilots that later moved on to serve in the Luftwaffe. Few aircraft have such stunning looks and great reputation as the Minimoa, and this model faithfully reproduces these qualities.
Black Horse have faithfully re-created those famous bird-like curves and followed the design closely. The Minimoa is not a simple shape to model, but Black Horse's skilled designers get the best from modern computer aided design and CNC laser cutting techniques, to create a delightful 1/5 scale model that is strong, comparatively light, and looks the part in the air.
The Minimoa's well designed wing ensures that flying characteristics are docile, and the controls are positive and effective at all times. The model is equipped with large top and bottom "barn door" type airbrakes to allow slopeside landings and for exiting thermals safely.
The model is totally pre-built on jigs by skilled staff from laser cut balsa and plywood parts, then covered in a classic scale Swiss scheme to aid visibility at altitude. Only final assembly RC installation is required to get the model airborne. See the manual link for complete instructions. For transportation and storage the two part wings and tailplane dismount from the fuselage easily.

This model is sold on the understanding that the buyer will reinforce the wing spars and will take full responsibility for the safety of modellers and the public.
THIS MODEL CANNOT BE SHIPPED OVERSEAS - THE BOX IS TOO BIG AND FRAGILE.
SORRY UK BUYERS ONLY.}
The {b,Phoenix Models 6m K8b} is a very keenly priced almost ready to fly 40% scale model of the popular Alexander Schleicher Ka 8b.
The K8 is the slightly better performing -b version with a bubble canopy. The scale model includes a pilot figure to look the part when in the air. The model has been expertly constructed from laser cut balsa and ply and is covered in white and red Oracover (Profilm) to a very high standard. The only work required to get the model in the air is installing the RC.
Although this nearly half scale model it is new to the UK, there have been many very positive flying reports from Germany, Australia, and the US. It is comparatively light and thermals beautifully - just like the full size aircraft. All these qualities make it an ideal first giant scale model for any aspiring RC pilot.
To alleviate transport and storage difficulties the wing is a four piece design, with each wing (left and right) breaking down into an inner and an outer panel. Our kits all include the stronger inner wing panels, following a problem with one of the original models in the US.
The UK delivery cost is only valid for the main UK conurbations, excluding country areas and Highlands and Islands. Sorry, but this model is too big to be shipped to overseas or NI buyers. Due to the large size and not-very-strong box we much prefer if this model is collected from our Warwickshire warehouse.

The {b,Phoenix Models 3.5m K8b} is a lovely almost ready to fly approx 1/4 scale model of the popular Alexander Schleicher Ka 8b. It is a very similar size to the much missed Flair K8, but is ready built, and less expensive.
The K8b is the slightly better performing -b version with a bubble canopy. The model includes a pilot figure to look the part when in the air. The ARTF model has been beautifully built from laser cut balsa and ply and is covered in white and red Oracover (Profilm) to a very high standard. The only work required to get the model in the air is installing the RC.
Although it is new to the UK, there have been many very positive flying reports from Germany and the US. The easily transportable size, good handling, and light yet tough structure make this an ideal first quarter scale model. This special introductory price may be changed at any time.

It is particularly good at coping with wind, and enjoys an excellent glide angle while travelling at speed, allowing the model to be brought home from a long way downwind. It has very effective brakes, and excellent low speed handling, enabling the pilot to get 100 point landings with ease.
We are only stocking Satoris with C68 carbon wing skins, as these give the model a toughness and longevity that cannot be matched by lighter layups. The 2.4GHz friendly fuselage has the rudder and elevator linkages completely finished, with drag-free internal horns. The attention to detail, finish and build quality of these German made and designed models is outstanding, they are definitely one of the very best made models we sell.
Our Satoris have a very attractive red-white-blue colour scheme, as shown in the parts photo and the three-view. They are supplied almost ready to fly, with wiring looms and padded wing, tail and fuselage bags. Only the RC needs to be installed. Our Satoris do not have a tow hook fitted, making them most suitable for slope soaring.

This battery works very well with the many modern RC components that work directly with 8.4V (2S) battery supplies. We get at least 2.5 hours of flying time on our test Elf, fitted with a Jeti Duplex R5 receiver, two SD100 servos, and a Jeti Vario sensor. The very small loads on the servo mean that the battery's small capacity is ample for this model. All these components worked fine on the 2S unregulated battery.
We use a Jeti Box on the transmitter to check the receiver battery voltage - stop flying when the receiver voltage goes down to 7V. Charge at 200 mA - 900 mA (max) using a suitable LiPo charger.

DLG-WING-BAGS%Wing Bags for Discus Launched Gliders A pair of high quality protective wing bags specially designed for 1.5m discus launched gliders. One bag is oversized towards the tip, to accomodate the launch peg reguired by DLGs. This allows the bladed wing (usually the left side) to be fed into the wing bag easily, without the blade snagging the bag before wing wing is fully inserted.
The bags are made from aluminised mylar covered foam. The foam is coated on both sides and is about 3mm thick. The edges are firmly welded, making a very strong bag.

�� Wd�� � ��b�| SUPER-TOPSKY-3 Super Topsky 3 DLG DBox/DisserM The {b,Super Topsky 3} is an updated version of the successful Super Topsky series of economical and fun discus launched gliders. The wing layup has a carbon Dbox front part and Kevlar and carbon disser rear. {b,Disser} means the wing has criss-cross carbon fibre tow reinforcements. This makes the wing exceptionally light and rigid, allowing it to be launched higher, and to float better.
The Super Topsky 3's Drela airfoils and low weight make it a surprisingly good DLG, and its Kevlar, carbon and blue foam construction ensure it is tough and ding proof, making it ideal for sport rough and tumble flying off the flat or small slopes. The performance enhancement over the previous Super Topsky 2 version come from:
a) Improved aerodynamics. The wing has an improved tip shape and profile. The reduced drag increases launch height and ranging.
b) Improved structure. The wing tip has an increases amount of carbon towards the tip, allowing more powerful and thus higher launches. The wings on the current consignment all have a carbon Dbox, kevlar skins, and carbon disser (criss-cross) reinforcement. This makes for a very torsionally stiff yet light wing. The Super Topsky 3 has been launched to 65m (213 ft) - as high an DLGs costing twice or three times as much. The Kevlar fuselage pod also sports carbon fibre reinforcing, and a lightweight wrapped carbon boom. The nicely finished tailplane and fin are of lightweight glass and carbon over blue foam construction.
This sweet model is supplied as a very complete kit, requiring little construction. The kit includes a complete accessory pack, including all linkages and a plug and socket for connecting the aileron servos. The laser cut ply pieces supplied make up a jig to help with aligning the tail when gluing it in place. The {href,extras/TS3-Installation-Guide.pdf, SuperTopsky 3 Installation Manual} explains the construction work required. The Topsky pod is quite small and low drag, and is light and strong. See {pref, TOPSKY-DLG-POD,this link} for more pod photos.
This model is supplied with separate left and right wings, and with carbon material supplied to reinforce the join. This allows the modeller to set the dihedral to an angle suitable for the intended flying style - 6� if mostly DLG flying from the flat, or a much lower dihedral angle (2� recommended) if the model will mostly be used on the slope. This option, and the rugged bagged solid foam wing with a strong composite covering, make the Super Topsky 3 one of our best DLG type gliders for slope soaring on not too windy days.

BLASTER-35Blaster 3.5 DLG/ The new {b,Vladimir's Models Blaster 3.5} is an upgrade to the Blaster 3, with an improved rear fuselage and tail surfaces borrowed from the Snipe. The tail has been specially optimised by Joe Wurts with new airfoils and planform. The horizontal stabiliser (tailplane+elevator) is mounted on a short pylon below the boom, and the elevator horn is cleverly recessed into the pylon to reduce drag. The vertical stabiliser (fin+rudder) is cambered to give more corrective force during the launch, reducing energy-sapping yaws, resulting in exceptional launch heights. The rear fuselage has a slot for the fin ready cut into the boom. As the fin camber is orientated differently for left handed and right handed throwers the model needs to be ordered with a suitably handed fuselage. The new tail and the pull-spring rudder and elevator actuation gives a lower flying weight.
The front fuselage is the Blaster 3 design, which has a fully removable slip-on nosecone, giving unrestricted access to the RC, and allowing a very easy servo installation. The pull wires are supplied installed, and the complete hardware pack allows the model to be assembled and RC installed in approximately four hours.
The wing is the same as the Blaster 3 wing and is available in Regular and Windy spread carbon layups only. It is a very easy to fly high performance design by Mark Drela, with forgiving and handling and clear lift indication. The spread carbon construction gives it exceptional strength and ding-resistance, giving a longer life than non spread carbon models.

It certainly looks the fastest, and may well be the speediest. The Voodoo is beautifully constructed, with an absolutely outstanding finish, attention to detail, and quality of design. The Voodoo is also blazingly fast, with its strong high aspect ratio wing, short nose (allowing heavier motors), large battery compartment, and excellent aerodynamic design.
The Voodoo flies exactly where you point it and is a very good first racer. With a hot setup the model can easily reach 260 Km/hr (160 mph) or more.
The perfectly molded glass fuselage has carbon reinforcement and the firewall, fin, and tailplane already fitted. The firewall already has the motor mounting holes drilled (on a 16mm PCD) and the ready-hinged elevator has the horn molded in, with a ball link fitted.
{img, extras/Voodoo-Wing-servo-inst600.jpg, Voodoo servo mounting and wing construction}
The flawless molded wing has a carbon spar, with gap sealed ailerons, and aileron torque rods installed. These have the balls secured on the end of the arms, to engage in the supplied control rod hardware, and ensure a totally slop free and geometrically correct linkage to the two aileron servos. This allows the ailerons to be drooped for landing, allowing the model to be landed easily at a reasonably low speed. The wing skin is a very rigid glass/balsa/glass sandwich with a substantial carbon spar.
The Voodoo is supplied with very high quality accessories including superb pushrods with ball links, and a clever mount for the elevator servo to easily facilitate installation in the rear of the fuselage. The only work required is fitting the motor and RC. The only gluing required is attaching the aileron servos. The racer can be completed in one or two lazy evenings.

We commissioned this model with Vladimir's spread carbon fabric for lightness, and with a cross tail for improved control response and yaw stability. The model has very sweet handling and thermals well. Its massive flaps enable it to fly very slowly, allowing maximum point landings to be made with ease.
The Carbon Vulture fuselage is actually mostly Kevlar, to help with 2.4GHz reception. It has a long nose with a very big canopy hatch, making access to the motor and battery very easy indeed. There is a large opening under the wing for the rudder and elevator servos, and the supplied pushrod and outers are already bonded to the fuselage. The linkage to the all flying tailplane (horizontal stabiliser, elevator) has been completely assembled, so no work is required there, and a totally slop-free elevator is assured. The rudder pushrod is supplied, and the rudder horn has been bonded to the rudder. Although no hardware is supplied there is ample room to fit a substantial amount of ballast under the wing (behind the battery, in front of the servos) to give the model all-weather competition winning abilities.
The three piece lightweight spread carbon wing is bolted to the fuselage with two bolts. The centre panel benefits from two very large bottom hinged flaps with molded-in wipers. The tip panels have generous ailerons, also with molded-in wipers. The servo pockets are molded in, with reinforced skins. The aileron and flap horns are ready fitted.
MVM have only recently started to build using Vladimir's Carboline spread carbon, and their inexperience shows in places, but the overall finish is good, and the model's weight is competitive. The flying surfaces are now suplied in protective aluminised mylar bags, to protect the model in transport, and to shade the carbon wing skins from the sun between flights on hot days.

SPRITE-HOT
Sprite Hot 2m
The Vladimir's Models <b>Sprite Hot</b> is a 2m very efficient fully molded glider for thermal and aerobatics on the slope or from a field. The advanced design by Dr Mark Drela makes it a superb 2m soarer while the low drag, low dihedral and large controls make it a great hot dog plane too.
Like other VM models the Sprite is optionally available with servo frames with bearings and internal IDS linkages ready fitted. This simplifies installing the RC massively. Whether these have been fitted or not is indicated with text like {i, Aileron and Flap IDS fitted for MKS 6100} below the colour in the {i, Available Options} area below the price. The number refers to the servo family, in this case MKS DS6100 or MKS HV6100 servos. Other servos will generally not work as the servo splines are incompatible between KST, MKS, Futaba, Hitec, etc.
The Hot version has a reduced dihedral angle of 2 degrees, of making it especially suitable for aerobatics and thermalling in windier, more turbulent conditions. The AG40/41/42/43 section hollow molded wings have carbon spars and large ailerons and flaps, extending the speed range at the low and high speed ends of the polar. The fuselage is fitted with a ballast tube so adding ballast weight is easy, further improving the speed range.
The attractive Kevlar fuselage and removable carbon canopy hatch are highly streamlined producing an extremely low drag and sleek pod. The molded-in wing pylon reduces interference drag and the long high modulus carbon tail boom and conventional cruciform tail ensure excellent handling. The molded tail assembly holds the superbly engineered all flying tail mount. The model is easily transported with its two-piece wings and removable tail.
In addition to the exceptional design the other outstanding characteristic of the Sprite is the very, very, very complete build done at the factory, with the following items already fitted to perfection: canopy, tailboom, tailplane mount. The only work required is gluing the fin and fitting the RC.

ALTIS-V4-PLUS>AerobTec Altis V4+ F5J Start Height Recorder and Flight Logger: The {b,AerobTec Altis V4+} is a great multipurpose device suitable for F5J, eSoaring, DLG, and all pilots wanting altitude.
# This updated {b,Plus} version contains an improved precision altitude sensor with lower noise, and the display has been updated to a higher contrast version with a white background.
This updated {b,Plus 2020} version (with a blue colar over the cable) has double the memory and contains an improved precision altitude sensor with lower noise, and the display has been updated to a higher contrast version with a white background.
The AerobTec Altis V4+ provides these facilities:
{bullet}
An F5J Start Height recorder and display, with its own mini OLED screen - no reader is required.
An eSoaring or ALES limiter for cutting an electric glider's throttle at the required altitude.
An altitude logger for flight recording and later analysis on a PC.
A telemetry sensor that works with Jeti and Multiplex 2.4GHz receivers.
A DLG launch height recorder and display.
Altis v4+ is an improved version - it contains a newer sensor which has a lower noise. So the graphs will be smoother. The other modification is white display instead of blue one
{endbullet}
The AerobTec Altis V4+ is an RC altimeter designed especially for F5J and eSoaring electric glider competitions, though it can also be used to record the barometric altitude of any object - a RC model, a bird, kite, or full size aircraft.
Its unique benefit is the built-in screen that displays the F5J Start Height (or other data) automatically. This allows F5J competitions to be run very easily and safely, with no plugging in of gizmos or fiddling with wires.
Another great benefit is its ability to interface with Jeti Duplex and Multiplex M-Link 2.4GHz receivers to give real time altitude telemetry. Despite these very powerful features the Altis V4 is very small and light.
The Altis Flight Manager software is used to download the logged data onto a PC, to display and analyse it, and to save it in various formats. Download Altis Flight Manager PC software from {href,http://www.aerobtec.com/products/altis-flight-manager,here}. Note the software isn't included in the package, and must be downloaded by the customer.
We recommend you also go to the {href, https://aerobtec.com/altis-v4, AerobTec Altis V4 page} to check for and download the latest Altis V4+ firmware revisions and documentation.
Note that from V2.2 onwards altitude and other parameters cannot be changed usng the keypad. Best to revert to V2.1 if this is needed - eg for eSoaring events.
A Micro B USB cable and telemetry cable are not included in the product, and need to be purchased separately if required.

{b,HyperFlight Safety Warning}
There is discussion of the Altis causing power loss and subsequent crashes in {href,https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3663853-New-Firmware-for-Altis-Nano-and-Altis-V4,this RCGroups thread}, see especially post #24 onwards. The consensus is that the crimping is potentially unreliable on both the Altis and the ESC wiring and the best way of improving reliability is to wire an additional positive and negative wire from the ESC to the receiver in parallel to the Altis. � B � � ' � � � � � � � � d �� . �� b��� J ���b� SPRITE-WING-BAG"Vladimir's Models Sprite Wing Bags� These {b,Vladimir's Models Sprite Wing Bags} are beautifully made from aluminised Mylar covered foam. They are attractively printed in red with a Sprite logo in silver.
Specially designed for Vladimir's Models range of 2m gliders they fit perfectly on all versions of the Sprite Hot and Sprite Thermal and also work with most other 2m wings. The two covers slip over the wings and fasten using a Velcro type hook and loop fastener in the middle. There is an inner picket for the Sprite tailplane too.
Most modern composite models can easily be damaged in storage or in transit and we highly recommend these bags to keep your model looking good and in flight worthy condition.
� � $2� � � � � � � � � � � �� b� � ��b�� SUNRACER4Sunracer 4 F5D* The {b,Sunracer 4} is the latest version of the acclaimed Sunracer F5D pylon racer from Ukraine. This easy to fly model is really fast, and at 98 cm (38.5") wing span it is easier to see than Speed 400 sized racers.
The Sunracer 4 has the following improvements over the Sunracer 3:
{bullet}
Wing servos are rearranged from the wing centre to near the ailerons.
Ailerons are reduced on the area to avoid a flutter.
The aileron servo uses a short control rod to eliminate flutter.
Aileron servos are faired with streamlined hatches.
Available battery volume is increased by moving aileron servos into the wing.
The removable nose design is improved to allow a larger battery.
Durability of the fuselage bottom is improved to reduce landing wear.
In the spread carbon (SC) wing the structure incorporates a carbon D-box made from Vladimir�s Models material, increasing strength while minimising weight.

. �� b�� 1 ��b�� SNIPE-WING-FUSE-BAG@Vladimir's Models Wing, Fuselage and Tail Bags for the Snipe DLGy A beautiful set of wing, fuselage and tailplane bags for the Snipe DLG made by Vladimir's Models. The covers will protect the surfaces from physical damage and from solar radiation which can warp and weaken naked carbon structures, even in northern climates.
The set consists of:
{bullet}
A sophisticated fuselage and fin bag that protects the pod, boom, and fin in transport, and on the field. The bag can be fitted with the wings in place, and can be removed without having to disassemble the model.
A pair of wing bags for the left and right wing panels.
A pair of tailplane/elevator bags for the horizontal stabiliser.
{endbullet}
The bags are made from aluminised Mylar covered foam with a black fabric (canvas-like) edging and grey pocket ends. The wing bags include a coloured Snipe logo and the fuselage and fin bag has a matching coloured zip.
Also fits the Yoda.
6 � . � � [� � � � � � � � � e� bs�L ��b�� ZUPAIR-Z1 Zupair Z1� The {b, Zupair Z1} wing is here. This iconic high performance flying wing is a fantastic slope model, and is a lot of fun from a high start too. It has excellent light air performance, a good speed range, and predictable handling.
The wing is made from vacuum bagged carbon and Kevlar over a solid foam core. The carbon Dbox and Kevlar skin ensures the model is surprisingly tough, allowing it to be flown from difficult locations with little worry of damage.
{img,extras/Z1-Kit-Contents-600b.jpg,kit contents}
The kit includes two nicely finished carbon-Kevlar wing halves, two glassed tip fins, two elevon horns, control rod wires, elevon servo extension leads, battery and receiver hatch covers, and glass cloth for wing joining. RC, glue and laminating resin (epoxy) are required to complete the model.
{img,extras/Z1-flaps_front1s.jpg,Flaps front view}
Although usually flown using just elevons for control, flaps can optionally be fitted giving it exceptional low speed and slope landing abilities.
{img,extras/Z1-flaps-rs.jpg,Flaps rear view}
The models is now supplied with an electric powertrain fairing - see the bottom photo.

Receiver power packs used to have NiMH cells, but many users have wanted the much higher capacity, lighter weight, and greater reliability of LiPo cells. However LiPo cells have voltage too high (3.7V/cell) to work reliably with most servos. (Most 2.4 Ghz receivers are okay on up to 9V)
But unlike LiPo, LiFePO4 cells (3.3V/cell) are a closer replacement for NiMH on voltage basis. And compared to high-capacity NiMH packs, the Hyperion G3 LifePO4 Radio batteries have these other advantages:
{bullet}
More capacity per gram, meaning lighter models in flight
Almost no "self discharge", so your radio system is always ready to go even weeks after charging.
Superior voltage performance under load, so your servos perform with more consistent torque and speed.
Faster charge time.
Better reliability.
{endbullet}
However these batteries are not recommended by most servo manufacturers for use with standard RC servos. They may appear to work initially, but the life of the servo will probably be reduced. Any failure is the sole responsibility of the user. We recommend a voltage regulator like the {pref, MKS-SBEC-2A,MKS SBEC} is used to lower the servo voltage down to 5V.

This increases flexibility, fatigue resistance, and possibly improves conductivity over fewer thicker conductors. This ultra-lightweight cable is far lighter than most wiring harness cables, but in our experience can safely be used for tail servos and aileron servos on 3m to 4m electric gliders.
Twisted extension leads suffer less from interference from other RF sources, reducing servo chatter and other RC problems. They also radiate less electromagnetic noise, reducing the likelihood of the extension leads causing interference.

The {B,Vladimir's Models Snipe} is a revolutionary DLG, encompassing radical aerodynamics developed by multiple World Champion and professional aero engineer Joe Wurts . By running an exhaustive computer analysis of all phases of a discus launch model's flight envelope Wurts has produced an optimal aerodynamic design, allowing the Snipe to achieve extremely high launches while also having a wider speed range than contemporary models. The proprietary JW airfoil has been designed for maximal laminar flow while also avoiding separation bubbles in launch and cruise conditions. The tail has been specially optimised with new airfoils and planform. The horizontal stabiliser (tailplane+elevator) is mounted on a short pylon below the boom, and the elevator horn is cleverly recessed into the pylon to reduce drag. The vertical stabiliser (fin+rudder) is cambered to give more corrective force during the launch, reducing energy-sapping yaws, resulting in exceptional launch heights. The fuselage has a slot for the fin ready cut into the boom. As the fin camber is orientated differently for left handed and right handed throwers the model needs to be ordered with a suitably handed fuselage.
Even the best aerodynamic design is of limited use unless it is implemented in a strong, lightweight, and smooth airframe that can be assembled by the average modeller. Here Vladimir's Models has excelled, creating new technologies to produce a super smooth solid molded ding-resistant wing that only weighs 103 g to 115 g, and a model that can be built to a flying weight as low as 225 g (7.9 oz). The front fuselage is based on the Blaster 3 design, which has a fully removable slip-on nosecone, giving unrestricted access to the RC, and allowing a very easy servo installation. The rear pod design has been changed to allow internal aileron connections to reduce drag. The vertical and horizontal stabilisers are actuated by supplied pull-spring hardware, totally eliminating slop and saving tail weight. The kit is highly complete and very little work is required to get the model airborne. Just a few glue joints and fitting the RC is all that is required. All control linkage hardware is supplied.
<img src="extras/Snipe-DLG-wing-const-600.jpg" alt="Snipe molded wing construction">
The wing design uses ground breaking solid molded fabrication techniques to maximise strength and toughness, while keeping weight to a minimum. The spar is constructed from high modulus unidirectional carbon flanges, which are bonded to the wing skin, these are kept rigid by a carbon shear web with a �45� fibre orientation. The wing skins are made from Vladimir's Carboline ultra light spread carbon, ensuring rigidity and excellent strength. The aileron is mounted using a very strong yet free Kevlar living hinge.
<img src="extras/Snipe-DLG-flap-const-600.jpg" alt="Snipe molded wing flap construction">
The wing mount consists of two cone shaped holes that mate with carbon mounting cones built into the fuselage. The conical holes are very strongly reinforced with carbon doublers on the lower and top wing surface, ensuring a long service life. The ailerons incorporate a spar and shear web to maximise stiffness and eliminate flutter.
The Snipe has the advantage in all phases of flight: its very light weight and low drag allow pilots to throw the model to amazing altitudes with little exertion, the JW airfoil and light weight results in a great rate of climb even in weak thermals, and the clean aerodynamic design and internal aileron linkages give an extremely good L/D and the ability to return home from long distances downwind. The combination of outstanding launch height and an exceptionally low sink rate gives great still air duration. Even at its low weight the Snipe can cope with average wind speeds well, however 30 g, 60 g or 85 g ballast pieces can be fitted internally, allowing the model to be flown in winds up to the FAI limit with confidence.
The Snipe achieved great success in its first competitive engagement, the 2013 F3K World Championships in Denmark, despite the fact that the model had only been distributed to the team pilots a few days before the event commenced. Of the 83 entrants four Snipe flying pilots achieved a top 12 position, and entry into the fly-off, more than any other design. In the fly-off Snipe flying Igor Butseroga tied with Henrik Vogler for first place with a perfect score of 5000. Unfortunately Igor slipped while doing an ultra quick re-launch in the unprecedented extra tie breaker round, giving first place to Henrik. Nevertheless this was an amazing performance by Igor and the Snipe, especially considering these were pre-production Snipes and the pilots had very little time to get used to them.
We are stocking the Snipe in two wing layups:
<i>
{b,Standard}: Spread carbon wing skin weighing 39 g/m�. Weights as listed below.
Good for powerful throwers, all ballasts and all wind conditions. (Called plain Snipe on Vladimir's site.)
{b,Light}: Very fine spread carbon wing skin weighing only 26 g/m�. Saves approx 10 g.
Better for average throwers, up to 30 g ballast and light to medium wind conditions.
</i>
We will attempt to stock both layups, but may not always manage this.

Its extreme low weight make it superbly suited to F5J type flying, with low Start Heights and brilliant low level thermal performance. However this same low weight, large control surfaces, and excellent aerodynamics make it superbly suited to general sport flying. Check out the video at the bottom of the page. It is breathtaking.
The very narrow fuselage is beautifully molded. The front of the pod is made from glass fibre to be 2.4GHz friendly, and because glass absorbs energy better than carbon. The canopy hatch is a translucent glass molding and provides convenient access to the flight battery. The rear of the pod and boom are molded from diamond pattern spread carbon. The tailboom is also molded from diamond pattern spread carbon, with flats on the inside to match the tang on the rear of the pod to ensure the boom is correctly aligned. The rear of the boom includes a strong yet very streamlined mount for the V tail. The end of the boom incorporates a hatch to allow V tail mounted tail servo plugs to be connected. The V tail is constructed with carbon and Rohacell foam, with a lightweight glass skin. The very lightweight wing has a substantial carbon spar and Dbox in the high stress area. The tips are constructed with a carbon spar and local reinforcement and Rohacell foam, with a lightweight glass skin. The flaps and ailerons incorporate a living hinge, and are gap sealed. The wing incorporates two tubular wing joiner tubes, and is supplied with hollow carbon fibre joiners. However for windier weather flying one or both of these can be replaced with steel joiners to add about 500g to the flying weight.
The model comes almost ready to fly. The only work required is gluing the ready-keyed boom to the pod and fitting the power system and RC.

� ��b�� ERWIN-XL-ULTRAErwin XL Ultralite� The {b,Erwin XL Ultralite} is the superb new ultra lightweight version of the {i,Erwin XL} glider. This amazing 3m soarer has a wing loading of around 20 g/dm2 (6.7 oz/sq ft) and it handles like a discus launch glider - but with better "legs", better speed retention, and a much better visual footprint. It is designed for flat field thermal soaring from a hi-start (or possibly a winch if used very carefully) or for slope soaring on low wind days, and its superb performance and sweet handling make it ideal for all levels of fliers.
The very thin and aerodynamic fuselage is beautifully molded. The front of the pod is made from glass fibre to be 2.4GHz friendly, and because glass absorbs energy better than carbon. The canopy hatch is a translucent glass molding. The rear of the pod and boom are molded from diamond pattern spread carbon.

The rear of the boom includes a strong yet very streamlined mount for the V tail. The end of the boom incorporates a hatch to allow the fully internal elevator control rods to be connected, and to minimise drag. The V tail is constructed with carbon and Rohacell foam, with a lightweight glass skin. The lightweight wing has a substantial carbon spar and Dbox in the high stress area.

Beautifully molded from carbon fibre, and contoured to maximise launch height and comfort. The offset allows for the discus launch glider wing's dihedral angle, so the fingers stay approximately vertically aligned, even though the glider's wing will be angled up by about 6 degrees.
It is supplied as an unfinished blank, so can be used for right handed and left handed throwers.

Can be supplied with the nosecone intact or removed and a firewall fitted, for use with an inrunner or small outrunner electric motors.
This ultralight pod has a very light carbon/Kevlar layup. This is very slim and the electric version requires a 32mm spinner. We recommend the Hacker B20-18L or Hacker A10-7L motors, both geared 4:1. The width of the access hatch opening is 25 mm, however this can be opened up a little without compromosing strength.
Supplied with a removable carbon canopy. The {pref, CARBON-BOOM-185-7,18.5mm boom} is not included in the base price and should be selected using the {i,Tailboom} option. The {pref,BLASTER-V-MOUNT,Blaster V mount} fits this boom and can be purchased separately to make a complete Drela type pod-boom-tail mount fuselage.
Suitable for use on Allegro Lite and Bubble Dancer type models. For a 2m size model the boom can be cut down to about 60-70 cm. A 1m boom is the perfect length for a Bubble Dancer, making this a very nice option for that classic design.
If the width of the opening under the canopy is too small for the motor you wish to use it is perfectly okay to open it up by filing or Dremelling away some of the material. This will not appreciably weaken the pod.

In 2010 Vladimir's Models began a series of experiments to create an extra light carbon fabric. After numerous tests they perfected the design for a machine to spread the carbon fibre tows to a thickness of 0.02 mm. This allowed the company to create a biaxial fabric from extra strength carbon fibres with a weight as low as 26 g/m�.
Today this fabric is used not only in Vladimir's Models planes but is also used by many other model and sports equipment manufacturers who demand the best, lightest, and strongest carbon for their products.
Now this high-strength fabric using IMS65 carbon fibres is accessible also to you.
Two sizes of Carboline sheet are available. Please select the required size using the radio buttons below the price. Delivered rolled, supported by orange peel ply fabric.

� � � � � � � � P D� c"�� ��b�0 MAXA-PRO-4E Maxa Pro 4e@ The {b,Maxa Pro 4e} is Vladimir's Models latest and lightest version of the Maxa, specially optimised for F5J competitions. It features an advanced design by Joe Wurts, the legendary Word Championship winner of all glider classes, and professional aerodynamicist. Joe spent many months optimising the Maxa for the F3J thermal soaring class, but the large size, light weight, high aspect ratio, and well cambered airfoils also makes it ideal for electric thermal soaring, especially the new FAI F5J class and the popular UK eSoaring class. The Maxa is available in various laups, from Windy to Megalight, with the latest {i,Megalight} version about 25% lighter than the light layup, making it easier to core low level thermals, while still retaining enough toughness to be a workable all-weather F5J model.
The large size and extreme light weight have been made possible by a new spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko and made by specially designed machines in his impressive fabrication facility. The wing is a monocoque structure with a skin of a double layer of spread carbon strengthened with a F3J strength spar made with a multi-ply 45� balsa and carbon shear web between substantial IMS 65 carbon spar caps. We are mostly stocking the {i, Light} and {i,Megalight} version, but {i,Standard} (normal spread carbon layup) and the stronger {i,Windy} (double spread carbon) versions are available to order.
{IDS}
The latest Maxa Pro 4 models feature a tailplane mounted on a short pylon to reduce drag on a long tailboom. The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) has a separate elevator to further increase stability and controllability. The tailplane, fin, and rudder are now molded from lightest weight spread carbon to improve strength and minimise weight - previously the rudder and tailplane were film covered built-up structures.

{img, extras/F3J-Maxa-spar.jpg,Maxa spar construction}
The fuselage is a well engineered Kevlar and carbon pod, with a diagonally wound spread carbon boom, and fin mounted cruciform tail. The model is totally complete, and almost no assembly is required. The tail pushrods are ready installed, and all the hardware is supplied for the wing servo installation. The model comes with a ballast tube (for windy conditions) and a wiring harness.
The {b,Maxa Pro 4e Megalight} is optimised for F5J rules, whose main requirement is reliable soaring from low altitude, as higher {i,Start Heights} count against the final score. The 30 second climb window is generous, so high-power heavy motors or batteries are not required, and the model can be kept very light.
{bullet}
The Maxa Pro's aerodynamic qualities have been modelled to a new level of accuracy and by Joe Wurts. In the process Joe designed a new family of airfoils and optimised the shape of the model to get the best from the new spread carbon composites being developed by Vladimir. The result is a very low sink rate that ensures the longest duration in no-thermal conditions, while also maintaining gentle handling that inspires confidence from the first flight.
The Maxa Pro�s low wing loading and inertia makes it very respond to tiny air disturbances, allowing small bubbles to be detected and worked from low down, allowing low Start heights and high F5J scores.
The Maxa Pro 4e�s large span allows it to be seen further away than smaller models, allowing a larger volume of air to be searched, and thermals worked for longer. This is especially important for the 15 minute fly-off task.
The excellent lift/drag ratio, especially at higher speeds, gives good penetration, and thus the ability for the glider to return from distant thermals with little altitude loss.
The long nose moment allows very lightweight powertrains to be used to balance the model.
As the electric version can use the standard ballast system used in the glider version, the model�s weight can be tuned to the conditions, allowing the Maxa to shine in even the strongest wind.
{endbullet}
This combination of state of the art aerodynamics, low weight, and a good size makes the Maxa 4e the best model for competitive F5J soaring, bar none. See {href, http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1558751, this} and {href,http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2101724, this} RCGroups thread and the Vladimir's Models {href,http://f3j.in.ua/en/maxa-pro-electro-family.html, Maxa Pro 4 EL} page for a lot more info.

The bag is made from a grey (canvas-like) fabric and are edged with black canvas. The covers will protect the surfaces from physical damage and solar radiation.
Note the carrying handles are tack-sewn onto the fuselage bag, unpick the stitches to release them. This hasn't been done in the photos. 1 � _� � (� � � � � � � � � }� S�p@ ] ���b�
PULSAR-PRO-2EPulsar Pro 2e 2m� The new {b,Pulsar Pro 2e} is the latest version of the well regarded line of Pulsar 2m electric R/C soarers. The Pulsar Pro 2e is a very light high tech full house 2m electric glider that is optimised for sport flying. It uses the latest Ukrainian composite construction techniques married to a modern aerodynamic design with a wing utilising Mark Drela's slippery AG25 airfoil for best thermal duration performance. The low wing loading enables excellent thermal climb performance, with fully articulated wing controls allowing the model to be centred accurately in small turbulent thermals. The thin low drag airfoil works well over a surprisingly large speed range, allowing the model to be safely brought back after drifting far downwind.
The new Pulsar Pro 2e fuselage pod is beautifully molded from Kevlar with a large canopy hatch to give easy access to the powertrain, battery, and RC. The boom is a lightweight carbon molding with a molded tailplane mount and a bushed holes for mounting the vertical stabiliser. The tailplane and fin/rudder assembly are both removable for easy storage and transport. The rudder and elevator servos are mounted in the fin, to simplify the RC installation.
Like other quality thermal soarers the entire model is constructed using free-flight techniques. The wing is a balsa built-up carbon fibre and Kevlar D-box design that utilizes carbon capped balsa ribs and a carbon trailing edge. All the flying surfaces are expertly covered in Oracover Light, and all the control surfaces have been nicely hinged.
The three piece wing and two piece conventional tail are each easily removable for transport and storage. The careful use of composites, combined with a high quality design ensures a lightweight and rigid structure. This high performance model is perfect for the sports flyer who wants to experience top level performance with a compact and tough airframe.

PULSAR-PRO-25Pulsar Pro 2.5e� The new {b,Pulsar Pro 2.5e} is a stretched version of the excellent Pulsar Pro 2e electric R/C soarer, usually available in rudder-elevator-spoiler (RES) and rudder-elevator-aileron-flap (Full House) versions . The Pulsar Pro 2.5e is a very light high tech house 2.5m electric glider that is great for sport flying. It uses the latest Ukrainian composite construction techniques married to a modern aerodynamic design with a wing utilising Mark Drela's slippery AG25 airfoil for best thermal duration performance. The low wing loading enables excellent thermal climb performance, with the full house version's fully articulated wing controls allowing the model to be centred accurately in small turbulent thermals. The thin low drag airfoil works well over a surprisingly large speed range, allowing the model to be safely brought back after drifting far downwind.
The Pulsar Pro 2.5e fuselage pod is beautifully molded from Kevlar with a large canopy hatch to give easy access to the powertrain, battery, and RC. The boom is a lightweight carbon molding with a molded tailplane mount and a bushed holes for mounting the vertical stabiliser. The tailplane and fin/rudder assembly are both removable for easy storage and transport. The rudder and elevator servos are mounted in the fin, to simplify the RC installation.
Like other quality thermal soarers the Pulsar Pro 2.5e is constructed using free-flight techniques. The three piece wing is a balsa built-up carbon fibre and Kevlar D-box design that utilizes carbon capped balsa ribs and a carbon trailing edge. All the flying surfaces are expertly covered in Oracover Light, and all the control surfaces have been nicely hinged. An unusual feature of this model is that the centre panel isn't flat, it incorporates some dihedral, which is added to in the tip panels. This improves the efficiency of the wing and raises the dihedral break, reducing the likelihood of ground looping when landing.
The best use of composites, combined with a high quality design ensures a lightweight and rigid structure. This high performance model is perfect for the sports flyer who wants to experience top level performance with a reasonably compact and tough airframe.
We try to stock this model in both rudder-elevator-spoiler (RES) and rudder-elevator-aileron-flap (Full House) versions. Both are excellent thermal soarers. The RES version is best for lazy Sunday afternoon flying, and the house version is better for coping with wind, and accurate landings.
A limited quantity of top quality well padded bags are now available to protect the model during transit and in storage. These consist of 4 part wings bags, 2 part tailplane bags, a fin bag, and a fuselage bag. Highly recommended.

� � � � � � � � P =� _F�m v `��`�m KAPPA35 Kappa 35 F5J� The {b,Kappa 35} is probably the best pure F5J plane yet. It is amazingly light, it is a superb design and it is built to a very high standard. The Kappa 35's advanced structural design ensures it is strong enough for its intended mission, and its finish, completeness and attention to detail is outstanding. The model really is almost ready to fly, with all the wing control horns and pushrods ready fitted, so the only work required to finish the wings is to fit the servos. The rudder horn is also fitted, and all the tail pushrod and servo mounting hardware is supplied.
{b,Special features of this model include:}
{bullet}
A well designed low drag fuselage with a large canopy hatch giving good access to the powertrain and RC, making for easy RC installation and maintenance.
A high aspect ratio wing with proprietary airfoils optimised for F5J flying - the wing excels in low speed tight thermal turns, allowing the model to be thermalled away from small, weak thermals with ease. This allows competition winning low starts to be made with confidence.
Despite its extremely good thermal performance the wings maintain a good L/D up to higher speeds, allowing the Kappa 35 to return from a long way downwind with ease.
The wing has slightly swept back wing tips, making it approximate to the Schulman planform. This is meant to improve performance and handling, especially near the stall.
Superb quality of construction and attention to detail. The original MASTER airframe must have entailed literally hundreds of hours work by master builders. Which is fully reflected in the final quality of finish, which we consider second to none.
The plane was designed and optimised for electric gliding from the start, it is not a modified F3J design. This has allowed a high aspect ratio to be used and more suitable airfoils.
All the control surfaces are sealed and the wing control horns are all hidden inside the control surfaces, further reducing drag.
The level of completeness of the airframe is exceptional, allowing the model to be finished in just a few hours.
The wing breaks down into three pieces and the tailplane and fin are easily removable, allowing the model to be easily transported to contests.
{endbullet}
{b,The model is available in three composite layups:}
{b,Light} - Mostly glass covered flying surfaces, with carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This is the lightest version.
{b,DBox} - The flying surfaces have a carbon DBox at the front. The rest is mostly glass with carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This version weighs approx 30 g more than the Light version but is stronger. This layup costs approx 7% more.
{b,Spread Carbon} - All the flying surfaces are covered in lightweight spread carbon, with extra carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar, resulting in the lightest and strongest model possible. This version only weighs approx the same as the Light version but is much stronger and less susceptible to hanger rash and handling damage. This layup costs approx 24% more.
For all wing layups the fuselage is all carbon. The top of the fuselage is painted and the underside is left in natural carbon black. This looks very attractive. For all electric models (irrespective of the fuselage construction) we recommend the 2.4GHz aerials are exited from the fuselage, so they are in the outside airflow. One horizontal and one vertical aerial usually works well. There is too much electrical equipment in an electric glider fuselage for the RC signal to be reliably received inside the pod.
All models are supplied with high quality sewn cloth padded wing bags, to ensure the wing stays in perfect condition.

Note that although the spinner diameter is 38 mm the width of the canopy hatch is only approx 27 mm, so the max diameter powertrain that can be fitted is 28 mm (with a little flexing of the fuselage skin). Also the RC and flight battery will have to be installed as far forward as possible to achieve a minimum flying weight. Unlike other (converted F3J) models the nose is only just long enough to achieve the correct balance when using a lightweight motor.

The keypad allows you to make changes to the motor run time, height cut off, motor restart, competition restart and F5J setting. However from Altis firmware V2.2 onwards altitude and other parameters cannot be changed usng the keypad. Best to revert to V2.1 if this is needed - eg for eSoaring events.
When using the logger the Altis v4 has to have its port A set to Keypad, so the keypad cannot be used at the same time as the telemetry facility.
To enable the keypad you may need to upgrade both the computer software and the Altis V4 firmware to the latest versions. Then there will be a new option in the PC software to enable the external keyboard.
To comply with the current F5J rules no changes are possible when loaded with the F5J firmware.
Supplied with a cable - the same item as the Telemetry Cable. $ � 2� � 2� � � � � � � � . �� b�� � ��b��
CD-3000-FH,Circle Dancer 3000 Full House Electric V2 3m2 The {b,Circle Dancer 3000 Full House Electric V2} is a beautifully constructed balsa and carbon almost ready to fly version of the venerable Bubble Dancer by Dr Mark Drela. The {i,Full House} appellation indicates that this version has the wing built with flaps and ailerons, to give precise approach control and slow landings. This product page is for the electric version with ailerons and flaps, even though some of the photos show the RES version.
Although the structure is simplified in comparison to the original BD design, the aerodynamics are very similar, and the Circle Dancer 3000 Full House V2 has excellent performance and great handling. This version has reduced dihedral to work better with the ailerons, and to give positive roll control. The ailerons and flaps can be actuated together to adjust the airfoil's camber to provide a wider speed range, allowing the model to be turned tighter in thermals and to return from great distances downwind with confidence.
The fine fuselage consists of a lightweight Kevlar, glass, and carbon pod molding with a small pylon for mounting the wing above the fuselage, to reduce interference drag. The fuselage has the motor firewall already mounted, with holes for common motors ready drilled. The fuselage nose incorporates a large (18 cm long) hatch to allow easy access to the motor, battery, and rudder and elevator servos. The hatch is very nicely molded from carbon fibre and incorporates a positive attachment system. The V2 fuselage has been updated to use a molded carbon tailboom incorporating a small pylon for the tailplane/horizontal stabiliser. The pushrod outers are bonded in place, and all the tail pushrod hardware is supplied. The fuselage update has reduced the fuselage weight, improved strength, removed weight from the tail extremity, and has reduced the size of the shipping box, allowing us to post the model overseas more easily.
The tailplane is a feather weight built-up balsa and carbon construction, covered with lightweight transparent film and is supplied ready to bolt onto the rear pylon mount. The V2 tailplane is of improved construction and includes a separate ready hinged elevator for faster pitch response.
The wing is expertly constructed from balsa and carbon, with beautifully applied transparent film covering, in contrasting colours. The centre panel incorporates large flaps, which are ready hinged, and can be actuated to 90 degrees deflection if required. The tip panels include good sized ailerons. Overall the standard of construction is excellent, and the prefabrication is very complete. The only things left to do are gluing the tailboom to the pod, gluing the fin, installing the control surface control horns, fabricating linkages for the flaps and ailerons, and fitting the RC and powertrain.
Note all the photos above (not below) show the rudder/elevator version of the Circle Dancer 3000 V1, which has extra dihedral. The Circle Dancer 3000 Full House has a flatter wing, and of course flaps and ailerons.

United Statesc+G� f ��b� TOPSKY3-WING-SC+Super Topsky 3 Spread Carbon Wing - B Grade� A set of "B" quality wing panels for a Super Topsky 3 Spread Carbon DLG. The panels were vacuum bagged with too much vacuum and there are gentle undulations over the whole wing surface. These depressions are a fraction of a millimetre deep. They will affect performance slightly, but no more than tissue or film covering on an open structure model. They would make very good slope soarer wings, or DLG wings for a sports flier.
Being full spread carbon these wings are strong. The two panels will need to be joined together and the centre will need reinforcement with a 50mm width of carbon cloth. We suggest a dihedral angle between 2� and 4� for slope use or between 4� and 6� for DLG use.

MKS-HV737/MKS HV737 High Speed Servo - 15mm 38g 10.2Kg.cm_ The {b,MKS HV737 High Speed Servo} is designed for glider rudder, elevator, and V tails, and is perfect for many high performance gas, jet, and electric RC planes. The speed, strength and precision of the HV737 is astonishing.
The gear train uses a new type of gear structure, giving negligible backlash and an even longer service life. The MKS HV737 is powered by a substantial 12 mm diameter x 20 mm length efficient coreless DC motor. It can operate with supplies from 5.5V to 8.4V, allowing the servo to be used safely from an unregulated 2S LiPo battery. The feedback mechanism uses a 9 mm VR ultra high resolution potentiometer, to ensure the servo moves very accurately, and holds its position 100% when adverse torque is applied.

The {b,Aerobtec Altis Micro} is functionally very similar to Altis v4, except that is does not have a display. The main benefits are smaller dimensions and lighter weight, making it suitable for smaller eSoarers and discus launched gliders.
The {b,AerobTec Altis Micro} is a multipurpose device:
{bullet}
A DLG launch height recorder.
An F5J Start Height recorder.
An eSoaring or ALES limiter for cutting an electric glider's throttle at the required altitude.
An altitude logger for flight recording and later analysis on a PC.
A telemetry sensor that works with Jeti and Multiplex 2.4GHz receivers.
{endbullet}
The AerobTec Altis Micro is an RC altimeter suitable for discus launch gliders and F5J and eSoaring electric glider competitions, though it can also be used to record the barometric altitude of any object - a RC model, a bird, kite, or full size aircraft.
A great feature is its ability to interface with Jeti Duplex and Multiplex M-Link 2.4GHz receivers to give real time altitude telemetry. Despite these very powerful features the Altis V4 is very small and light.
The Altis Flight Manager software is used to download the logged data onto a PC, to display and analyse it, and to save it in various formats. Download Altis Flight Manager PC software from {href,http://www.aerobtec.com/products/rc-electronics/altis-flight-manager,here}. Note the software isn't included in the package, and must be downloaded by the customer.
We recommend you also go to the {href, http://www.aerobtec.com/products/rc-electronics/altis-micro/, AerobTec Altis Micro page} to check for and download the latest Altis Micro firmware revisions and documentation.

The wing is from the same mold as the contest-proven Fireworks 5 Flow, but the fuselage has been shortened to improve handling, and the tails simplified to save cost. The result is a model with great performance, excellent responsiveness, and outstanding value for money. Unlike standard Rookie kits ours now come with completely pre-made glassed foam tail surfaces to vastly decrease the construction work required.
Competitive cost, great performance and good handling were the main design goals. Marcus Podivin chose Gerald Taylor's highly acclaimed Zone 52-21 airfoil series for high launches, good L/D in speed mode, and low sink and stall-free handing when thermalling.
The shorter fuselage gives well coordinated handing, allowing for excellent characteristics in turbulent thermals. Also the shorter fuselage allows the masses to be concentrated closer to middle of the glider, giving a lower moment of inertia, and thus less tail wagging and higher launches. It also incorporates a bottom opening to allow the flaperon pushrods to be attached, keeping the linkage completely out of the airstream, like RDS but without the complexity or maintenance headache. See the video below that shows the aileron pushrods being attached and removed.
{video,KTEjTVQMv_Y}
The near-elliptical one piece wing has 6.5 degrees of dihedral, which gives good stability, allowing it to be flown to the limit of vision with confidence. Its thin modern airfloils and large camber changing flaperons give the Rookie a very good speed range, allowing it to cope with stronger winds with ease, but with little camber added it will hang forever. Unlike the standard kits the {b,Rookie Plus} includes fully built glassed foam tail surfaces, these are are beautifully made and very light.
The mostly carbon fuselage has a Kevlar front portion and a removable glass fibre access hatch, that makes fitting 2.4GHz RC straight forward. The kit is very complete, with all the hardware and control linkages provided. A nicely engineered ballast system is also supplied, to allow the model to be flown on windier days.

B ��b�( PULSAR-PR0-4ECPulsar Pro 4e Compact 4m� We have received a consignment of Pulsar Pro 4 Compact eSoarers. These have improved aerodynamics and structure over previous models and can be broken down into components, giving a maximum box length of approx 100 cm . The main changes are:
{bullet}
More dihedral to improve stability when thermalling.
A longer nose to help balance the model with modern lightweight powertrains.
A large canopy hatch to enable the battery to be swapped or charged more easily.
The wing mounts on a short pylon to reduce interference drag, improving performance at all speeds.
Ballast can be fitted internally more easily, to allow a larger speed range.
Smaller 38mm front firewall reduces drag yet still accommodates most motors.
{endbullet}
This model is very easy to fly, with good performance and excellent handling. It is more relaxing than an all molded model, yet will be just as efficient in wind speeds up to about 12 mph.

� z `��`�) MARABUMarabu� The {b,Marabu} is a carbon and balsa glider with a span of 1.5m, and is a perfect introduction to soaring. It has an optional wing tip throwing peg, and can be gently discus launched, but we don't think the structure will withstand a full power discus launch. We recommend it is used with a hi-start or on the slope. The Marabu is beautifully constructed, and the aerodynamics are obviously influenced by Drela's Super Gee DLG.
The Marabu fuselage consists of a slim glassfibre pod with a little carbon reinforcement and a canopy hatch, mated to a stiff carbon tailboom. At the end of the boom a small carbon pylon supports the tail. The wings are of built-up balsa construction, with tubular carbon spars, and large pre-hinged flaperons, and are superbly covered in lightweight film. The tailplane and fin are also built-up balsa surfaces, ready covered, and with the rudder and elevator pre-hinged. The model is very nicely made and little work is required to get the glider airborne - basically the fin and tail mount need to be glued, the wings joined and glued using the supplied joiner, the control horns fitted, and the RC & battery need to be installed.
The Marabu is a brilliant value 1.5m glider that builds quickly and flies very well.

DF-LIBELLEDream-Flight Libelle 1.2m" The {b,Dream-flight Libelle} is a breakthrough in discus launched gliders. Few modelling experiences can be as fulfilling as catching a thermal from a model launched by hand, with no other energy source involved. Until now, this experience has been out of reach to non-expert modellers. The Libelle changes this, it can be assembled, kitted-out, and trimmed for flight by pilots of any experience level, and for a smaller budget.
Apart from being extremely quick and easy to assemble, the {b,Libelle} (which means dragon fly in German) flies excellently, making it a fantastic introduction to discus launch gliding. We love our Libelle, and fly it on the flat, and on the slope often, where it really shines.
Libelle pilots will {i,get out and glide faster}, as many time-saving tasks have been expertly finished at the factory. Utilizing the most modern materials and foam molding techniques, Dream Flight have achieved a durable, lightweight, and super smooth airframe. The entire model is made from purpose-designed components, with all the main parts self-aligning and interlocking.
{bullet}
"ARG" Almost Ready to Glide - Get into the air faster with this quick assembly design!
100% self-aligning airframe produces a perfectly trimmed model for all skill levels
Precision-molded EPO foam and composite parts ensure easy assembly and best performance
Carbon fibre tail boom, wing spars, and pushrods produce a lightweight, durable airframe
All pushrods and clevises, for connecting the servos to the control surfaces are included
Highly efficient and graceful design for maximum enjoyment in light lift conditions
Left or right handed wingtip launch system - Zoom to thermal catching altitude with ease!
Flight and Assembly Manual provides thoughtful assembly and DLG soaring techniques
{endbullet}
Note that this product is the Libelle airframe, control linkages, etc. To make a flyable model you will also need a suitable radio control transmitter and receiver, four servos, and a receiver battery.

OSPREY-RESOsprey 3000 RES, The {b,Osprey 3000 RES} is a beautiful new 3 m glider which is a delight to look at and a joy to fly. Its excellent aerodynamics make it a stable and easy to fly model with impeccable thermal performance, and a surprisingly good speed range.
Like its predecessor the Circle Dancer 3000 this models is a beautifully constructed balsa and carbon almost ready to fly version of the venerable Bubble Dancer by Dr Mark Drela. The {i,RES} appellation indicates that this version is controlled using Rudder/Elevator/Spoiler controls. The wing has generous dihedral and a large central spoiler fitted, keeping to the intent of the Drela design. The Osprey 3000 RES has beautifully built wing with a substantial carbon spar and carbon DBox, making it rigid and strong enough for a sensible winch launch.
The fine fuselage consists of a lightweight Kevlar, glass, and carbon pod molding with a small pylon for mounting the wing above the fuselage, to reduce interference drag. The fuselage nose incorporates a large (18 cm long) hatch to allow easy access to the battery, receiver, rudder and elevator servos. The hatch is very nicely molded from carbon fibre and incorporates a positive attachment system. The fuselage has a molded carbon tailboom incorporating a small pylon for the tailplane/horizontal stabiliser. The pushrod outers are bonded in place, and all the tail pushrod hardware is supplied.
The tailplane is a feather weight built-up balsa and carbon construction, covered with lightweight transparent film and is supplied ready to bolt onto the rear pylon mount. The tailplane includes a ready hinged elevator for faster pitch response.
The Osprey 3000 RES wing is expertly constructed from balsa and carbon, with beautifully applied transparent film covering, in contrasting colours. The centre panel incorporates a large spoiler to give good approach control. The centre and mid panels include carbon Dbox structural elements which considerably strengthen and stiffen the wing, allowing the model to be flown at higher speed and in windier conditions. The standard of construction is excellent, and the prefabrication is very complete. The only things left to do are gluing the tailboom to the pod, installing the control surface control horns, fabricating linkages for the spoiler, and fitting the RC, battery and towhook.

MAXA-PRO-4Maxa Pro 4 F3J Glider� The {b,Maxa Pro 4} is Vladimir's Models latest and best ever F3J thermal soarer. It features an advanced design by Joe Wurts, the legendary Word Championship winner of all glider classes, and professional aerodynamicist. Joe spent many months optimising the Maxa for the F3J thermal soaring class, but the large size, light weight, high aspect ratio, and well cambered airfoils also makes it ideal for sport flying.
The large size and extreme light weight have been made possible by a new spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko and made by specially designed machines in his impressive fabrication facility. The wing is a monocoque structure with a skin of a double layer of spread carbon strengthened with a F3J strength spar made with a multi-ply 45� balsa and carbon shear web between substantial IMS 65 carbon spar caps. We are mostly stocking the "Light" (which used to be called the Hard Spread carbon) version. The even stronger "Windy" and "Storm" versions are available to special order.
{IDS}
The latest Maxa Pro 4 models include a long tailboom and a lightweight spread carbon molded tailplane mounted on a short pylon to reduce drag. The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) has a separate elevator to further increase stability and controllability. The solid molded tail construction improves strength and minimises weight - previously the rudder and tailplane were film covered built-up structures. The benefits of the new tail are:
{bullet}
Reduced tail drag
Increased rudder and elevator control effectiveness
Increased rigidity of tail and control system
Reduced tail weight
Removable fin for easier transport
{endbullet} To achieve these improvements Vladimir's Models changed to an elliptical shape tail boom. Stiffness of the boom is increased by more than two times and the weight is increasing by just 9%. The tail boom is narrowed towards the end to reduce aerodynamic drag. The all new fin and stabilizer are constructed from solid core Rohacell and covered with ultralight Carboline 26 g/m �. The tailplane's carbon spars are made from pre-stretched and uniformly impregnated rovings and laid into the slots in the core.

The fuselage is a well engineered Kevlar and carbon pod, with a diagonally wound spread carbon boom, and fin mounted cruciform tail. The model is totally complete, and almost no assembly is required. The tail pushrods are ready installed, and all the hardware is supplied for the wing servo installation. The model comes with a ballast tube and a wiring harness. The benefits of the Maxa include:
{bullet}
The Maxa�s aerodynamic qualities have been modelled to a new level of accuracy and by Joe Wurts. In the process Joe designed a new family of airfoils and optimised the shape of the model to get the best from the new spread carbon composites being developed by Vladimir. The result is a very low sink rate that ensures the longest duration in no-thermal conditions, while also maintaining gentle handling that inspires confidence from the first flight.
The Maxa�s low wing loading and inertia makes it very respond to tiny air disturbances, allowing small bubbles to be detected and worked from low down, allowing short F3J tows and high scores.
The Maxa 4�s large span allows it to be seen further away than smaller models, allowing a larger volume of air to be searched, and thermals worked for longer. This is especially important for the 15 minute fly-off task.
The excellent lift/drag ratio, especially at higher speeds, gives good penetration, and thus the ability for the glider to return from distant thermals with little altitude loss.
The long nose moment means little weight is required to balance the model, keeping the wing loading low, and the launch acceleration high.
As the ballast system allows the model�s weight can be tuned to the conditions, allowing the Maxa to shine in even the strongest wind.
{endbullet}
This combination of state of the art aerodynamics, low weight, and a good size makes the Maxa 4 the best model for competitive F3J soaring, bar none.

Maxa Pro 3.5ea The {b,Maxa Pro 3.5e Megalight} is the 3.5m version of Vladimir's Models latest and lightest version of the Maxa, specially optimised for F5J competitions. It features an advanced design by Joe Wurts, the legendary Word Championship winner of all glider classes, and professional aerodynamicist. Joe spent many months optimising the Maxa for the F3J thermal soaring class, but the large size, light weight, high aspect ratio, and well cambered airfoils also makes it ideal for electric thermal soaring, especially the new FAI F5J class and the popular UK eSoaring class. Previously the Maxa was a bit heavy, in comparison to the latest European F5J planes, but this latest {i,Megalight} version has about 25% lighter than the previous lightest layups, making it much easier to core low level thermals, while still retaining enough toughness to be a workable all-weather F5J model.
This 3.5m span version is reputed handle better than the 4m Maxa and its performance is not noticeably affected by the lower wingspan. For F5J competitions the smaller 3.5m span helps with coring in the smaller thermals found low down. Also its slightly higher wing loading makes the Maxa Pro 3.5e Megalight ideally suited to windier conditions, where better manoeuvrability, and a higher wing loading allows the model to penetrate and be flown accurately in a breeze.
The extreme light weight have been made possible by a new spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko and made by specially designed machines in his impressive fabrication facility. The wing is a monocoque structure with a skin of a double layer of spread carbon strengthened with a F5J strength spar made with a multi-ply 45� balsa and carbon shear web between substantial IMS 65 carbon spar caps.

KST-DS245H,KST DS245H Nano Wing Servo - 8mm 9g 2.0Kg.cm� The {b,KST DS245H} is a low/medium voltage extremely thin metal cased servo, especially good for ailerons on DLGs, electric racers, and all models with thin flying surfaces. Although based on the DS245MG the case is thinner and smaller, reducing the weigh. Its flat mounting tabs make it especially suitable for mounting in wings and other flying surfaces. It can be operated from a voltage as low as 3.5V (1S LiPo) or as high as 6V (2S LiFe). The factory has recently improved its geartrain machining tolerances, and this servo is completely slop free, and equal to products costing twice as much. Despite not having the -MG monicker this servo also has metal gears, and is very tough.
At only 8 mm thick this powerful and reasonably high speed servo can easily fit in thin glider, pylon racers and EDF wings. With up to 2.6kg.cm torque the KST DS245H is appropriate for F3K, F5J, many types of high performance models.

HYPER-27ME Hyper 2.7me- The {b,Hyper 2.7me} is an ultra lightweight 107" span electric soarer that really excels in light air. It is the very latest of the Hyper 2.x range and the extended wing improves the glide angle and reduces the already very low sink rate. The boom has also been extended to maintain the honest handling.
The Hyper 2.7me is beautifully made in Ukraine using the high tech composite construction techniques the USSR perfected. The large ailerons and flaps give the model a very good feel in the air, and allow the wing camber to be optimised for the current task, whether it is maximising the lift by increasing camber to stay in the core of the thermal, or decreasing camber to allow the model to be flown back upwind with minimal height loss.
The lightweight three piece wing is very rigid and strong. It is built with a substantial Kevlar wrapped carbon spar, a Kevlar/carbon D-box, carbon capped ribs and a carbon trailing edge. The ailerons, flaps and rudder are pre-hinged, making crow braking very effective, and ensuring accurate landings. The removable tailplane and compact dimensions allow the model to be transported easily. The fuselage incorporates a large canopy hatch to give good access to the powertrain. The rudder servo is designed to be housed in the fin, with the elevator servo fitted in the rear of the pod. The only work required to finish the model is to glue the boom to the pod, the fin to the boom, glue horns onto the control surfaces, and install the RC and powertrain. This shouldn't take more than a few evenings. Control horns are supplied, but pushrods will need to be supplied by the builder.

{b,Notes}
The canopy is held in place by two carbon tabs at the rear, and a tongue at the front. To release it unclip the rear tabs and ease it back.
The tailplane mount is already installed as part of the tailplane assembly, but is supplied pushed back into the void in the underside of the tailplane and isn't obviously articulated. To see it gently pull out the carbon mount, it rotates around the tubular spar.
6 � D � � � � � � � � � � � � %� ^'*� � `��`�] TUKANTukan* The {b,Tukan} is a lightweight carbon and balsa glider with a span of 1.5m, and is a perfect introduction to electric soaring. Based on modern discus launched glider designs, it has a great performance and lovely looks. It thermals easily, has a reasonably good speed range, and its large flaperons allow it to be slowed down and spot landed with ease.
The Tukan fuselage consists of a slim glassfibre pod with a little carbon reinforcement and a canopy hatch, mated to a stiff carbon tailboom. The firewall has already been fitted in the pod. At the end of the boom a small carbon pylon supports the tail. The wings are of built-up balsa construction, with tubular carbon spars, and large pre-hinged flaperons, and are superbly covered in lightweight film. The tailplane and fin are also built-up balsa surfaces, ready covered, and with the rudder and elevator pre-hinged. The model is very nicely made and little work is required to get the glider airborne - basically the fin and tail mount need to be glued, the wings joined and glued using the supplied joiner, the control horns fitted, and the RC & powertrain need to be installed.
The Tukan is a brilliant value 1.5m eSoarer that builds quickly and flies very well.

10 kg :� U�x�� ��b�U CD-3000-RES%Circle Dancer 3000 RES Electric V2 3m The {b,Circle Dancer 3000 RES Electric V2} is a beautifully constructed balsa and carbon almost ready to fly version of the venerable Bubble Dancer by Dr Mark Drela. The {i,RES} appellation indicates that this version is controlled using Rudder/Elevator/Spoiler controls. The wing has generous dihedral and a large central spoiler fitted, keeping to the intent of the Drela design. Although the structure is simplified in comparison to the original BD design, the aerodynamics are very similar, and the Circle Dancer 3000 RES V2 is a stable and easy to fly model with impeccable thermal performance, and a reasonable speed range. This product page is for the RES electric version, even though some of the photos show the pure glider and full house versions of the model.
Although the structure is simplified in comparison to the original BD design, the aerodynamics are very similar, and the Circle Dancer 3000 Full House V2 has excellent performance and great handling. This version has reduced dihedral to work better with the ailerons, and to give positive roll control. The ailerons and flaps can be actuated together to adjust the airfoil's camber to provide a wider speed range, allowing the model to be turned tighter in thermals and to return from great distances downwind with confidence.
The fine fuselage consists of a lightweight Kevlar, glass, and carbon pod molding with a small pylon for mounting the wing above the fuselage, to reduce interference drag. The fuselage has the motor firewall already mounted, with holes for common motors ready drilled. The fuselage nose incorporates a large (18 cm long) hatch to allow easy access to the motor, battery, and rudder and elevator servos. The hatch is very nicely molded from carbon fibre and incorporates a positive attachment system. The V2 fuselage has been updated to use a molded carbon tailboom incorporating a small pylon for the tailplane/horizontal stabiliser. The pushrod outers are bonded in place, and all the tail pushrod hardware is supplied. The fuselage update has reduced the fuselage weight, improved strength, removed weight from the tail extremity, and has reduced the size of the shipping box, allowing us to post the model overseas more easily.
The tailplane is a feather weight built-up balsa and carbon construction, covered with lightweight transparent film and is supplied ready to bolt onto the rear pylon mount. The V2 tailplane is of improved construction and includes a separate ready hinged elevator for faster pitch response.
The wing is expertly constructed from balsa and carbon, with beautifully applied transparent film covering, in contrasting colours. The centre panel incorporates large spoilers which are ready hinged, and can be actuated to 90 degrees deflection if required. The tip panels have extra dihedral in comparison to the Full House version. Overall the standard of construction is excellent, and the prefabrication is very complete. The only things left to do are gluing the tailboom to the pod, gluing the fin, installing the control surface control horns, fabricating linkages for the flaps and ailerons, and fitting the RC and powertrain.

� � � � P � � � � � � � � � 9 � ^�� � ��b�V CDG-3000-RES#Circle Dancer 3000 RES Glider V2 3m� The {b,Circle Dancer 3000 RES Glider V2} is a beautifully constructed balsa and carbon almost ready to fly version of the venerable Bubble Dancer by Dr Mark Drela. The {i,RES} appellation indicates that this version is controlled using Rudder/Elevator/Spoiler controls. The wing has generous dihedral and a large central spoiler fitted, keeping to the intent of the Drela design.
Although the structure is simplified in comparison to the original BD design, the aerodynamics are very similar, and the Circle Dancer 3000 RES V2 is a stable and easy to fly model with impeccable thermal performance, and a reasonable speed range.
The fine fuselage consists of a lightweight Kevlar, glass, and carbon pod molding with a small pylon for mounting the wing above the fuselage, to reduce interference drag. The fuselage nose incorporates a large (18 cm long) hatch to allow easy access to the motor, battery, and rudder and elevator servos. The hatch is very nicely molded from carbon fibre and incorporates a positive attachment system. The V2 fuselage has been updated to use a molded carbon tailboom incorporating a small pylon for the tailplane/horizontal stabiliser. The pushrod outers are bonded in place, and all the tail pushrod hardware is supplied. The fuselage update has reduced the fuselage weight, improved strength, removed weight from the tail extremity, and has reduced the size of the shipping box, allowing us to post the model overseas more easily.
The tailplane is a feather weight built-up balsa and carbon construction, covered with lightweight transparent film and is supplied ready to bolt onto the rear pylon mount. The V2 tailplane is of improved construction and includes a separate ready hinged elevator for faster pitch response.
The wing is expertly constructed from balsa and carbon, with beautifully applied transparent film covering, in contrasting colours. The centre panel incorporates a large spoiler to give good approach control. The standard of construction is excellent, and the prefabrication is very complete. The only things left to do are gluing the tailboom to the pod, gluing the fin, installing the control surface control horns, fabricating linkages for the flaps and ailerons, and fitting the RC and battery.
The photos all show the previous V1 model.

� � P� � � � � � � � � � 4 � _���%D ���b�� SLITE-V2 Slite V2 2m�$ HyperFlight are very pleased to be able to supply the iconic {b,Slite V2} model. This is probably the most highly regarded model designed for the F3-RES 2m balsa glider class, and we have been trying to source it for many years.
In 2011 Josef Gergetz of SETA Modelltechnik started to manufacture high quality sailplane kits for the newly emerging 2m build up glider competition class. By the end of 2017 the demand for Slite V2 was so high that Josef Gergetz could no longer keep up with the production. Delivery times were up 9 months and it was decided to switch the production to lasercut technology at a larger manufacturer. It has taken this long to complete this process, but now we are able to quickly supply this model to customers world-wide.
The {b,Slite V2} uses a slightly modified version of the highly regarded AG24 - AG26 airfoil family by Mark Drela. To allow accurate construction of the originally very thin trailing edge the rear of the airfoil was slightly thickened. It gives high lift with comparatively little drag over a wide range of lift coefficients (Cl). Compared to the Pures V2 the Slite V2 has improved L/D, especially at higher speeds.
The wing of the Slite V2 is, like the Pures V2, is built as an open rib construction over very strong wound carbon fiber tube spars. To reduce sagging of the covering film between the ribs two extra sub ribs are used between each full rib. This ensures the wing profile conforms much better to Mark Drela's original airfoil than other built-up designs.
A balsa jig is supplied to ease positioning of the numerous ribs, ensuring the wing is built in an accurate and speedy manner. The laser cut structure is almost identical to the previous CNC version as there was nearly nothing to improve.
What is new? Besides the new lasercut production, the components are now numbered to ease building. Furthermore, there is an excellent multicolored construction plan and richly illustrated building instructions (in German, but see the English translation <a href="getfile.asp?code=SLITE%2DV2&code2=1" target="_new"><b>here</b></a>. Please see the {href, https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2630580-SLITE-2-meter-RES-Sailplane,Slite V2} and {href, https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3258607, New Slite Available} RC Groups threads for more English language build info.
{b,Wing construction}
The optimised design uses wound carbon fiber spar tubes, a tapered tail boom and pultruded carbon fibre tubes for the leading edge. The Slite V2 has a three piece wing and is built as an open tubular spar rib construction. The wing joiner is made of 4mm steel wire and is positioned directly in the spar tube. The flat inner wing (with the central airbrake) has an elliptical planform. The elliptical mid panels are joined to the center panel with a dihedral of 8� and are fixed with a specially milled plastic clip to make sure that they don't slip out during the flight. No need to tape anymore! The lightweight tip panel is joined to the mid panel with a dihedral of 12�.
{b,Fuselage construction}
The front of the fuselage is made from balsa with plywood reinforcements and plywood formers. Behind the wing, the wooden fuselage joins the CRP tail boom (wound, tapered carbon fiber spar tube) which is supplied slotted to take the fin. Two holes are already drilled for the horizontal stabilizer pylon and the slots for the bowden tubes are already milled out. The CRP tail boom is manufactured in the same way as the tubular carbon spars of the wings to similarly minimise weight and maximise stiffness. The fuselage is wide enough to fit a single 2600 mAh Li-Ion cell.
{b,Tailplane construction}
The Drela HT12 mod profiled tailplane is constructed with balsa ribs, CRP tubular spar and a balsa leading edge.
{b,Electric Modification}
The Slite fuselage is very narrow, being only 26 mm wide at the front. Most electric motors will be too large to fit but the {href,products.asp?code=SN2E-PWRSET,Vladimir's Models Snipe 2e Powertrain} could probably be made to work with only minor modifications.
The kit consists of carefully selected and numbered laser cut balsa and plywood parts. All small parts and good quality linkages are included in the kit. RC components, glues and covering material are not included.

At the start of March 2020 I bought a SliteV2 from you and have already sent you a first inspection review. Build is now well on with flying surfaces finished and am working on the fuselage. I did say to you that I intended to electrify the model but only for sport purposes. You may be interested if others enquire in my how to do it notes.
I am surprised how simple it proves to be. Firstly I did not use the two small diameter motors I bought from you as I found a 23mm diameter inrunner lying in a box....no idea what make it is, but it does run nicely on two cells using an Overlander 20A ESC (this latter may be a bit of overkill but better safe than sorry.
Stage1. The nose needs its height and width increasing slightly. For scale my spinner in the photo is 30mm diameter.
First build the fuselage as normal from the boom mount forward to and including the main former (R11)at the leading edge of the wing.
DO NOT glue the fuselage internal ply edge strips (R3,R4)to the fuselage sides forward of this and do not put any vertical strengtheners (R5,R6,R7) in place...
Also omit the servo tray (I was moving mine elsewhere anyway.)
Stage2. Get a supply of finger clamps or clothes pegs ready. Treating one member of R3,R4 at a time you will find there is enough flex in them to be moved slightly vertically while remaining attached at R11. This was a real bit of serendipity. I moved them as far as i needed (see photos) and using PVA clamped and glued them in their new position.
Repeat this for all 4.
Stage 3. DO NOT throw away the matrix balsa sheet (76.02) the fuselage sides came from (you didn�t did you!). Why...... well the curved balsa infills you will need to make up the new fuselage sides on R3 and R4 are already there for you (clever eh...)...... see photo. Cut our and fix these as required.
Stage3. I decided I needed a square section at the nose in the old R9 position to be sanded down later to merge with the spinner.
To this end the thick balsa block holding the unused nose pieces has just enough scrap to include my
initial rectangular blank for my new nose block which will go where R4 was and behind the prop spinner. I will use the actual spinner to mark out a 30mm circle on the front face and sand to that when attached.
Stage4. Other issues. All planking top and bottom from R11 forward will need widening (but you will be well capable of that if you are building this sophisticated, delicate and detailed machine anyway). This also involves widening the removable hatch which I believe will fit quite happily after the above operations. As a side issue I have decided to make my hatch longer anyway to ease access to battery, ESC and servos all in one go. Do not forget to put in place any vertical ply strengtheners from the R5,R6,R7 set but these will all need to be a tad longer..... again the matric sheet of timber will help. The removeable hatch will need its clever vertical rails angle-ing a bit to match the new fuselage side internal width.
The overall result I find very pleasing as the width and height of the nose has not been enlarged to anything that spoils the natural taper of the fuselage from the tail boom forward and the mod uses no more materials than are already in the kit.
Photos will follow of the completed machine....
Best Regards..... Paul S

It features an advanced design by Joe Wurts, the legendary Word Championship winner of all glider classes, and professional aerodynamicist. Joe spent many months optimising the Maxa for the F3J thermal soaring class, and came up with 3.5m and 4m models optimised for windy and normal conditions.
This 3.5m span version is ideally suited to windier conditions, where better manoeuvrability, and a higher wing loading allows the model to penetrate and be flown accurately in a breeze.
The size and light weight have been made possible by a new spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko and made by specially designed machines in his impressive fabrication facility. The wing is a monocoque structure with a skin of a double layer spread carbon, strengthened with a bulletproof F3J strength spar made with a multi-ply 45� balsa and carbon shear web between substantial IMS 65 carbon spar caps. We are mostly stocking the "Light" (which used to be called the Hard Spread carbon) version. The even stronger slightly heavier "Windy" (double Hard Spread carbon) version is available to order if not in stock.
{IDS}
The latest Maxa Pro 3.5 models feature a tailplane mounted on a short pylon to reduce drag. The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) has a separate elevator to further increase stability and controllability. The tailplane, fin, and rudder are now molded from lightest weight spread carbon to improve strength and minimise weight - previously the rudder and tailplane were film covered built-up structures.

{img, extras/F3J-Maxa-spar.jpg,Maxa spar construction}
The fuselage is a well engineered Kevlar and carbon pod, with a diagonally wound spread carbon boom, and fin mounted cruciform tail. The model is totally complete, and almost no assembly is required. The tail pushrods are ready installed, and all the hardware is supplied for the wing servo installation. The model comes with a ballast tube (for windy conditions) and a wiring harness.
{bullet}
The Maxa�s aerodynamic qualities have been modelled to a new level of accuracy and by Joe Wurts. In the process Joe designed a new family of airfoils and optimised the shape of the model to get the best from the new spread carbon composites being developed by Vladimir. The result is a very low sink rate that ensures the longest duration in no-thermal conditions, while also maintaining gentle handling that inspires confidence from the first flight.
The Maxa 3.5�s more manageable size allows it to be flown in a wider range of conditions than larger, more lightly loaded models. The excellent lift/drag ratio, especially at higher speeds, gives good penetration, and thus the ability for the glider to return from distant thermals with little altitude loss.
The long nose moment allows little nose weight to balance the model.
The ballast system allows the model�s weight to be tuned to the conditions, allowing the Maxa to shine in even the strongest wind.

TF� � �� �b�f EUPHORIAEuphoria V2 F5J 4m
The {b,Euphoria V2 F5J} is a brilliant design, with top quality construction and amazing value. The wing and tailplane are of all spread carbon construction, making the model extremely tough, rigid, and light. The aerodynamic design is similar to the Maxa and the Perfection, giving the plane a superb glide angle and also a very low sink speed. In the V2 version the tailplane is mounted on a small pylon in front of the fin, in line with the current fashion.
The fuselage is very well thought out, with the motor, speed control, and rudder and elevator servos fitting at the front of the pod, with enough room to slip the battery through the large canopy hatch into the ample space behind the servos. Aft of that there is a ballast tube, so the plane's weight can be adjusted for windy conditions - however its excellent polar gives it a good speed range so extra weight is only beneficial for wind speeds above 15 mph (7m/s, 24 km/h).
The spread carbon skinned wing has a substantial spar, allowing high energy aerobatics if required. The wing is a four piece construction, allowing larger ailerons than would normally be possible, giving especially good roll control. The control surfaces are large, so camber changes are very effective, and the large flaps allow the plane to be spot landed with ease. The spread carbon tailplane has a separate elevator to give very precise pitch control. The carbon fin sports a large film covered rudder to minimise tail weight. The fit and finish is very good, with all the parts sliding into place perfectly. The pushrods, all control horns and linkages are supplied. The only work required to get the model airborne is gluing the tailboom (a jig is provided) and installing the RC and powertrain.

These nicely made bags will eliminate transport and handling damage, paying for themselves easily. 0 � � � 2� � � � � � � � � ERWIN-XL-WING-BAGS�� W��;q ���b�� SMILE2Smile F3K 1.5m DLG� The {b,Smile F3K} is a great discus launched glider from AJ Aeromodels. Like the Snipe it has very high aspect ratio wing, giving it a high launch and a great glide angle. The design shows a strong Snipe influence, employing similar pylon mounted tailplane. Like the Snipe the model flies very well, with high launches and a good speed range.
The wing and tail are beautifully molded from ultra-light spread carbon over a Rohacell 31 foam core. This makes the wing light, accurate, and comparatively tough and repairable if necessary. The lightweight tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) is mounted on a molded carbon pylon, which can be mounted above or below the boom, to the modeller's preference. The fuselage is a very rigid spread carbon molding, with a good sized canopy hatch, aiding the RC installation. The tailboom has an oval cross section to increase stiffness and improve the launch height.
The model is supplied with horns, pushrods, pull cable, torque springs, servo mounting plate and a very nice offset throwing blade. The wings are supplied in thin foam bags but fit nicely in our {pref, F3K-WING-BAG, DLG F3K Wing Bags} and the tails in our {pref, F3K-TAIL-BAGS, DLG F3K Tail Bags} for greater protection. No build manual is available but there is some useful info in this RCGroups {href, http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2353440, Smile thread}, and some construction photos on Facebook {href,https://www.facebook.com/Silaif/media_set?set=a.852488748143251.1073741846.100001464013947&type=3,here}.
Although the completeness of the kit and the quality of construction and detail design is excellent there are a few small paint and surface finish blemishes, hence the reduced price. But do not let that put you off, these are still beautiful models and a fantastic bargain.

Red Fox RF500� This very effective glider powertrain consists of a nicely engineered RF500 SPC planetary gearbox mated to a Turnigy H2223-3500 outrunner brushless motor. This creates a very powerful and reliable glider powertrain that will fit in the narrow noses of many F5J models.
The planetary gearbox is only 23.5 mm diameter so this will fit in most models easily. However the motor wires emerge from the motor 25 mm back from the front of the gearbox, increasing the apparent diameter of the powertrain to 42mm at this position. Thus the motor will easily fit in fuselages designed for 38 mm and larger spinners. It just fits in pods designed for 32mm spinners, but keeping the motor wires away from the spinning case may be difficult.

The new V6 version has the same great specifications as the old V5 servo, but is also programmable using a {pref, KST-TOOL2, PC based} or a {pref, KST-TOOL1, press-button} programming tool.
The KST X08 is especially good for ailerons on discus launched gliders, electric racers, and all models with thin flying surfaces. Despite being only 8 mm thick the powerful coreless DC motor and gearing provide good torque and high speed. The X08 can be operated from a voltage as low as 3.8V (1S LiPo) or as high as 8.4V (2S LiPo). KST servos have excellent geartrain machining tolerances, and this servo is completely slop free, and equal to products costing twice as much. Despite not having an -MG moniker this servo has metal gears, and is very tough.
The KST X08's high torque, good speed, and 8mm thinness make it suitable for many high performance glider, pylon racers and EDF applications. With up to 2.8kg.cm torque the KST X08 is appropriate for F3K, F5D, F5J, many types of high performance models. The accessories include three strong nylon output arms, two double sided, and one single sided, one of which is low profile. This means that when the servos are mounted one in front of the other the control rod of the front one won't foul the rear one.
The new V6 version has the same great specifications as the V5 but allows programming using {href, products.asp?search=KST+Servo+Programming, KST's new programming tools}.

This product does not work with other manufacturer's (eg Blue Bird) servos as the output spline size and retaining arm screw size is particular to MKS.
These frames speed-up servo installation, keep the servo secure and rigidly mounted, and also allow easy removal for maintenance or replacement. The external bearing reduces side load at the servo output arm, reducing compliance and extending the life of the servo. The external bearing reduces any free play, increasing the stiffness of the control surface, improving control and avoiding flutter problems.
These frames are especially good for the DS6100 and HV6100 their plastic cases can deflect slightly under extreme load.

{b,Zupair Zulu EPO ARTF} is a great light wind aerobatic flying wing slope soarer with amazing "drooperon" leading edge devices. These are connected to the elevon servos giving a four control surface wing controlled by just two (already fitted) servos. We are just stocking the almost ready to fly version which includes fitted servos already connected to the elevons and leading edge drooperons. The only work required to finish the model is to glue the nosecone, wing joiner, fin, and wings in place. Then connect up the servos to your choice of receiver and battery, balance and fly!
We are stocking the ARTF version with two quality Emax 09MA servos ready fitted, which have a voltage range of 4.8-6.0v. Only a receiver and battery is required to get the model airborne. Although the Zulu EPO is supplied as a glider the nosecone is not fixed in place, and a firewall is already fitted, so conversion to electric power is straight forward.

DS6125Hr� To�� � ��b�� ERWINErwin 5 Slope Soarer 2m[ We have just received one {b,PCM Erwin Slope} all carbon glider. This is one of the fastest and strongest 2m slope planes made, and has become a slope classic. It can be used for dynamic soaring, or sports flying, and excels on both the front and the back side of the slope.
The model is very substantially built and of all carbon construction. The build quality is immaculate, and the work required to complete the model is minimal. It comes with all the required linkage hardware and good build instructions are available.
Grab this great model before someone else does.
{video,LJkZoh1Z_54} � � � � y� � � � � � � � � �� W��5 ' ��b�� FW6 Fireworks 6� The {b,Fireworks 6} has been designed and optimised to maximise launch height. By creating a discus launch glider that can launch higher than previous models PCM are enabling pilots to launch into better air, possibly already marked by other gliders, but too high for other planes to launch into. Even if no thermals are marked, air is less turbulent and more buoyant higher up, and thermals are stronger and better organised, making them easier to see and to work.
PCM created this high-starting FW6 by:
{bullet}
Minimising weight.
Minimising energy sapping yaw inertia which causes the oscillation seen straight after launch. This was done by reducing the wingspan, fuselage weight, and tail weight.
Maximising stiffness.
{endbullet}
Other improvements in this version are
{bullet}
Solid core wing technology, to provide a much tougher and more damage resistant wing, with better longevity and twice the torsional stiffness of the FW5.
Asymmetric smaller and thinner fin and rudder, reducing drag and weight.
Reduced fuselage cross section, reducing drag.
Improved capability for up to 70 g of ballast, to allow better windy weather and slope performance.
{endbullet}
The design goals also resulted in the FW6 being extremely agile and manoeuvrable, so it can work smaller thermals easily. This is helped by the broader wing tips which resist tip stalling even in turbulent air, giving a low pilot workload. So the PCM FW6 is a high launching DLG with brilliant performance and great handling.
The Fireworks FW6 is available in two versions:
C6L - this light version has wings using 26 g/m2 spread carbon, and has a flying weight from 240 g.
C6S - this is the strong version, with wings from 39 g/m2 spread carbon, and has a flying weight from 255 g.

Red Fox RF300� The {b,RedFox RF300} is a very effective glider powertrain consisting of a nicely engineered RF300 Eco planetary gearbox mated to a Turnigy H2218-1860 outrunner brushless motor. This creates a reasonably powerful and reliable glider powertrain that will fit in the narrow noses of smaller F5J models and electric gliders.
The planetary gearbox is only 23.5 mm diameter so this will fit in most models easily. However the motor wires emerge from the motor 25 mm back from the front of the gearbox, increasing the apparent diameter of the powertrain to 42mm at this position. Thus the motor will easily fit in fuselages designed for 38 mm and larger spinners. It just fits in pods designed for 32mm spinners, but keeping the motor wires away from the spinning case may be difficult.

& � m � c � N � � � � � � � � � F |� V�� e ��b�y THOWT Throw It!� The {b,Throw-it!} DLG is a fantastic value contest proven hand launch model from the Czech Republic. It uses a modern East European designed airfoil to give good flight performance with honest easy handling, making it ideal for modellers just getting into discus launched gliders and perhaps considering entering F3K contests. The glider is very prefabricated{, with a one piece wing and with the throwing blade already installed in the left wing, making suitable for right-handed launcher only.} and the surface finish is excellent, plus the weight is low for an entry level model, making the Throw it! excellent value.
The Throw-it! fuselage consists of reasonably spacious 2.4GHz transparent Kevlar nose section mated to a stiff carbon rear fuselage with a small pylon molded in for tail mounting. The wing and tail mounting holes are drilled and tapped, and a nice glass hatch canopy gives good access to the RC. Four small servos can be fitted in the fuselage to minimise weight, but for ease of installation we recommend fitting the aileron servos in the wing, and just installing the rudder and elevator servos in the pod. The wing is solid molded glass over EPS foam, with a sturdy carbon spar. The tips and aileron roots are reinforced with carbon, and a contoured throwing blade has been expertly fitted. The ailerons are pre-hinged and are reasonably stiff. The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) has a carbon spar, and the elevator pre-cut and hinged. Similarly the fin (vertical stabiliser) has a carbon spar, and the rudder pre-cut and hinged. The enclosed accessories include springs for pull-spring actuated tail surfaces, and carbon sheet for the control horns. To complete the model the buyer will need to slot the fin and glue it to the tailboom, drill mounting holes in the tailplane, make and fit the control horns, and install the RC and linkages.
The present stocks are {model comes in mustard yellow or} red (as illustrated), with wings supplied in nice padded aluminised mylar wing bags. Adding to the great value of this well made model. The instructions available are for a previous version (called Thowt), but assembly should be clear to any modeller with some building experience.

It is more powerful, faster, and considerably more robust than the DS65K. It is also rated for operation down to 3.5V making it safe for use on 1S LiPo batteries. Its clever inverted motor design makes it very compact, in fact it is nearly as small as the SD100/D47 in the vertical and horizontal directions.
The DS75K is ideal for F3K, F5D, and all small models that require excellent precision, massive torque, and adequate speed. Along with the DS65K it is probably the best 8.5 mm thick servo ever produced. It looks beautiful and with a torque of 2.4 Kg cm it is amazingly powerful.

ALTIS-GPS2 Altis GPS 2u The new improved Aerobtec {b,Altis GPS2 } logs GPS coordinates, ground speed, barometric pressure altitude, and RC input, allowing the 3D position and speed of a model to later be displayed on a computer. As the barometric pressure altitude is much more accurate than GPS height info this device is much better than most loggers for model aircraft use. Additionally it acts as a telemetry sensor for supported RC, allowing a real-time display of this info on the user's transmitter.
The improvements of this GPS2 over the previous version are faster satellite acquisition start time, improved reception and double the memory.
It also has support for Jeti, Multiplex, Graupner, Futaba SBUS2* and FrSky S.Port* telemetry, allowing the RC pilot to receive real-time data via his transmitter. *Note Futaba SBUS2 and FrSky S.Port both need the optional telemetry convertor.
The unit has very small dimensions and a low weight. Recorded flights can be analyzed in Altis Flight Manager PC application which allows users to view the data in graph view mode and in Map/Earth mode.

� ��b�� SUPRA-EXPERTSupra Expert F3J 3.4m
The Vladimir's Models {b,Supra Expert F3J} is the latest version of the Supra glider. Despite its strong spar the spread carbon version can be built down to 1.5Kg, making it a great F3J thermal soarer. Its light weight has been made possible by a very light spread carbon fabric perfected by Vladimir Gavrilko, or by a tough but light Glass layup on the Glass version. The wing is a monocoque structure with a skin of a double layer of spread carbon/glass strengthened with a strong spar made with a multi-ply 45� balsa and carbon shear web between substantial IMS 65 carbon spar caps. The fin and rudder are lightweight all molded in the structures.
{IDS}
The benefits of the Supra Expert are:
{bullet}
New pylon mounted tailplane reduces drag and improves pitch control.
Slim long fuselage pod designed with a removable canopy hatch for easy access to RC.
Ultralight fin with and rudder for minimum inertia.
New light molded tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) mounted on a tail pylon. This improves stability and controllability.
Supplied with molded lead nose weight and wiring harness.
{endbullet}
Taking advantage of new materials and improved design, Vladimir's Models have achieved a unique combination of light wing loading and low inertia, in addition to high strength and stiffness. This results in a plane that not only delivers fast starts and precise landings, but also soars well in even the slightest lift.
The model is completely prefabricated, with very little work required to get it flyable - just install your radio gear.
The new spar is made from T800 ultra high modulus carbon, reducing weight and increasing stiffness.
<img src="extras/SUPRA-Spar-Cutaway-600.jpg" alt="Supra Carbon Wing Cutaway">
The structure has been computer modelled and scientifically tested, but the old ways are certainly more eye catching.
<img src="extras/SUPRA-competition-WingTest-600.jpg" alt="Supra Carbon Light molded wing test">
Supra Expert kit has an assembled fuselage with a demountable vertical stabilizer, for easier transportation. The vertical stabilizer is fixed by a carbon pin. Please secure the pin in place with tape before flight. The model is supplied with wing connection plugs and sockets and a quality wiring harness.

It is great for powering RC with 2S LiPo voltage directly from a 2S LiPo battery. Most receivers are fine on 2S LiPo voltage but make sure any servos connected are HV or WV types.
Another benefit/use for this lead is to act as an on/off switch for the RC system. Plug in the battery to fly, and unplug it at the end of the session. No moving parts. Nothing to fail. Minimum weight.
Never attempt to plug a JST BEC plug directly into a receiver as even a momentary incorrect contact will burn out all the servos.

MKS-HV6110$MKS HV6110 Servo - 10mm 10g 3.4Kg.cm� The {b,MKS HV6110} is a high voltage version of the acclaimed {pref, MKS-DS6100,DS6100} with lugs suitable for mounting as a wing servo. It is specially optimised for glider fliers, with excellent torque and precision, and a very low deadband. On a 2S LiPo battery it has higher torque and speed than the DS6100. It is a very high torque thin 10g servo suitable for many wing and fuselage applications. It has more torque and a better geartrain than all other high voltage servos of this size and price range.
At only 10mm thick this superb wing-servo can easily fit in thin wings, but with a low height of 23.5mm it can also fit in DLG and other small fuselages. With good 3.4 kg.cm torque and a blistering 0.10s/60� speed it is excellent for flaps, ailerons, elevator and rudder on many high performance gliders, DLGs, electric gliders, and faster sport slopers.

0.38mm red purchased July 2015 ~� [t� c `��`�� FLITZ FlitzebogenQ
HyperFlight is proud to stock the {b,Flitzebogen} - or {b,Flitz} to English speakers. This highly acclaimed new DLG has a great contest record and a bright future. Oleg Golovidov placed second using a Flitz at the recent US IHLG contest, a tribute to Oleg and the glider!
The small fuselage is a nicely made carbon molding with a 2.4GHz transparent glass radio compartment, to simplify the RC installation and maximise range. The tailplane is mounted on a lightweight pylon that can be mounted above or below the tailboom, whichever the builder prefers. The fin is a strong but light design.
Like the rest of the model the wing is a beautifully molded with carbon skin of attractive lozenge shaped spread carbon, over a solid core. The aileron servos are mounted in the wing for the most direct and rigid control connection, and the aileron pocket outlines are already moulded into the lower wing skin. The wing is available in two weights, {i,Light} and {i,Strong} - the Strong layup is about 10g heavier.
The wing launch peg and other hardware are included in the full accessory packet.

# China`�ʼn� � �b� CD3600G Circle Dancer 3600 Glider 3.6m The {b,Circle Dancer 3600 Glider} is a beautifully constructed 3.6m span balsa and carbon almost ready to fly version of the Bubble Dancer by Dr Mark Drela. The model available on this page is the pure glider version, with rudder, elevator and flap controls, not electric as shown in the photos. This new 3.6m version is an all new structural design, with stronger and stiffer carbon Dbox wings and other strength improvements.
Although the structure is simplified in comparison to the original BD design, the aerodynamics are very similar, and the Circle Dancer 3600 is a stable and easy to fly model with impeccable thermal performance, and a reasonable speed range.
The fine fuselage consists of a lightweight Kevlar, glass, and carbon pod molding with a small pylon for mounting the wing above the fuselage, to reduce interference drag. The fuselage nose incorporates a large (18 cm long) hatch to allow easy access to the motor, battery, and rudder and elevator servos. The hatch is very nicely molded from carbon fibre and incorporates a positive attachment system. The fuselage has been updated to use a molded carbon tailboom incorporating a small pylon for the tailplane/horizontal stabiliser. The pushrods are supplied and all the tail pushrod hardware is supplied. The new fuselage has reduced the fuselage weight, improved strength, removed weight from the tail extremity, and has reduced the size of the shipping box, allowing us to post the model overseas more easily.
The tailplane is a feather weight built-up balsa and carbon construction, covered with lightweight transparent film and is supplied ready to bolt onto the rear pylon mount. The tailplane is of improved construction and includes a separate ready hinged elevator for faster pitch response.
The wing is expertly constructed from balsa and carbon, with a strong carbon DBox front part and beautifully applied transparent film covering, in contrasting colours. The centre panel incorporates large flaps to give good approach control. The standard of construction is excellent, and the prefabrication is very complete. The only things left to do are gluing the tailboom to the pod, gluing the fin, installing the control surface control horns, fabricating linkages for the flaps and ailerons, and fitting the RC and battery.

This 3.6m version is an all new structural design, with stronger and stiffer carbon Dbox wings and other strength improvements, but with the same excellent quality of manufacture that makes this model so special. Note we are importing both "full house" (rudder, elevator, aileron, flap) and REF (rudder, elevator, flap) versions of this model. The REF version has increased dihedral, making for a more stable and easier to fly model. In comparison the full house version has flaps and ailerons to allow better roll control and wing camber changes to give the model a wider speed range.</b>

Unlike the BD, the Circle Dancer 3600 has flaps built into the centre panel and the full house version has ailerons in the tip panels. This gives better control authority (especially when landing in gusty conditions), good landing approach control, and the ability to control the airfoil's camber to optimise the wing for cruising, thermalling, or flying faster against the wind. The standard of construction is excellent, and the prefabrication is very complete. The only things left to do are gluing the tailboom to the pod, gluing the fin, installing the control surface control horns, fabricating linkages for the flaps and ailerons, and fitting the RC and powertrain.

The case omits mounting tabs making it more compact and especially suitable for fitting in a wing (or tail surface) or for very cramped installations where it is glued in place. This version is also 0.1 g lighter than the lugged DS75K.
The MKS DS75K-N is more powerful, faster, and considerably more robust than the DS65K. It is also rated for operation down to 3.5V making it safe for use on 1S LiPo batteries. Its clever inverted motor design makes it very compact, in fact is is nearly as small as the SD100/D47 in the vertical and horizontal directions.
The DS75K-N is ideal for F3K, F5D, and all small models that require excellent precision, massive torque, and adequate speed. Along with the DS65K it is probably the best 9 mm thick servo ever produced. It looks beautiful and with a torque of 2.4 Kg cm it is amazingly powerful.
{MKSCNC}
{film}
Low/standard voltage versions of the DS75K are available with standard mounting lugs (the {pref,MKS-DS75K, DS75K}), wing mounting lugs (the {pref,MKS-DS75K-R, DS75K-R}), and no mounting lugs (the {pref,MKS-DS75K-N, DS75K-N}). High voltage versions are available with standard mounting lugs (the {pref,MKS-HV75K, HV75K}), wing mounting lugs (the {pref,MKS-HV75K-R, HV75K-R}), and no mounting lugs (the {pref,MKS-HV75K-N, HV75K-N}).

In 2010 Vladimir's Models began a series of experiments to create an extra light carbon fabric. After numerous tests they perfected the design for a machine to spread carbon fibre tows to a thickness of 0.02 mm. This allowed the company to create a triaxial fabric from extra strength carbon fibres with a weight as low as 26 g/m�. This tri-axial spread carbon weighs 38 g/m�.
Today this fabric is used not only in Vladimir's Models planes but is also used by many other model and sports equipment manufacturers who demand the best, lightest, and strongest carbon for their products.
Now this high-strength fabric using IMS65 carbon fibres is accessible also to you.
Two sizes of Carboline sheet are available. Please select the required size using the radio buttons below the price. Delivered rolled, supported by orange peel ply fabric.

BELL-CRANK(All Flying Tailplane Mounting Bell Crank� This bell crank is designed for mounting in the fin of a glider and for supporting and actuating an all flying tailplane. It can also be used for any application where the direction of motion needs to be changed by 90 degrees.
It is supplied with a 3 mm steel axle and plastic axle mounting pads for supporting the axle.
The distance between the pivot hole and the pushrod hole is 23 mm. It is same on both arms of the crank.

An {b,Integrated Drive System} or IDS is a largely or completely internal linkage between an aileron or flap and its servo. It is different from a normal wire based linkage in using much stiffer components, resulting in a more rigidly connected control surface, with much less compliance.
These frames and IDS linkages speed-up servo installation, keep the servo secure and rigidly mounted, and also allow easy removal for maintenance or replacement. The external bearing reduces side load at the servo output arm, reducing compliance and extending the life of the servo. The external bearing and the special rigid IDS connecting piece reduces any free play, increasing the stiffness of the control surface, improving control and avoiding flutter problems.
The connection between the servo and control surface is made via two plastic parts and a 5 mm aluminium tube. The length of the connecting rod is completely variable up to 100 mm long.
Parts supplied for a single IDS:
1 piece servo frame including clamping part
1 of each ball bearings
1 piece plastic pushrod end coupler
1 piece 80mm aluminium tube
4 pieces servo arms of different lengths
1 piece plastic IDS horn
2 pieces brass control surface horns of different lengths
Sold in pairs, so 2X of the above are supplied. Add one to the basket for mounting and connecting two servos.
Size: 58 mm x 47 mm x 10.5 mm

Beautifully constructed from molded carbon fibre this model is strong, sleek, with its rigid construction giving it superbly stable flying characteristics, even at extreme speeds. Although designed as a full on F5D racer, it can be powered by a smaller motor to act as a pylon racer trainer, with the battery/prop/motor upgraded until full F5D performance is obtained.
The kit is very complete, and only requires installation on the RC and powertrain. The wing is a very strong all carbon all molded construction, with a very substantial carbon spar. The inset ailerons have a gap-seal ready fitted. Despite being compact the fuselage has large easily accessible equipment bay below the wing, to allow generous batteries to be fitted. The strong carbon tailplane and ready-hinged elevator is bolted to the top of the fin. Pushrods and control linkages are supplied.

Note the model is designed around the Dream-Flight 12.4 g Digital Metal Gear servo and this is recommended as it will fit without any modification to the foam structure. However other servos can be fitted easily by the more experienced modeller. If fitting a LiPo battery make sure the servos can operate at this voltage - the Dream Flight servos can't.

L3007-5000�� b �� I ��b�� MAATMate F3K� The {b,Mate F3K} is a great new model from the Czech Republic. It is a fantastic value contest proven DLG. It uses a modern East European designed airfoil to give good flight performance with honest easy handling, making it ideal for modellers just getting into discus launched gliders and perhaps considering entering discus launch glider contests. The model is very prefabricated, with a one piece wing. The surface finish is good and the weight is low for an entry level model, making the Mate F3K excellent value.
The Mate F3K fuselage consists of reasonably spacious 2.4GHz transparent Kevlar nose section mated to a stiff carbon rear fuselage with a small pylon molded in for tail mounting. The wing and tail mounting holes are drilled and tapped, and a nice glass hatch canopy gives good access to the RC. Four small servos can be fitted in the fuselage to minimise weight, but for ease of installation we recommend fitting the aileron servos in the wing, and just installing the rudder and elevator servos in the pod. The wing is solid molded glass over EPS foam, with a sturdy carbon spar. The tips and aileron roots are reinforced with carbon, and a contoured throwing blade has been expertly fitted. The ailerons are pre-hinged and are reasonably stiff. The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) has a carbon spar, and the elevator pre-cut and hinged. Similarly the fin (vertical stabiliser) has a carbon spar, and the rudder pre-cut and hinged. The enclosed accessories include springs for pull-spring actuated tail surfaces, and carbon sheet for the control horns.
{We have one ARTF model wih the RC superbly installed. Four SD100 servos have been beautifully installed, pushrods etc are installed, and a 4.8V battery and switch is fitted. Just a receiver is needed to complete the model. Note this model has the throwing peg installed on the right wing, so suitable for left-handed pilots.} Present stocks have four black stripes on the bottom of each wing. With wings supplied in nice padded aluminised mylar wing bags. Adding to the great value of this well made model.

+ ; � c#��7 ��b�� KAPPA20Kappa 20� The {b,Kappa 20} is a great 203 cm (80") span F5J electric thermal soarer for sports and competition modellers wanting a smaller model. It is very light, well designed, and built to a very high standard. The Kappa 20's advanced structural design ensures it is strong enough for its intended mission, and its finish, completeness and attention to detail is outstanding. The model really is almost ready to fly, with all the wing control horns and pushrods ready fitted, so the only work required to finish the wings is to fit the servos. The fuselage just requires the tailboom, fin and tailplane mount to be glued into place, and the tail control runs installed.
Special features of this model include:
{bullet}
A well designed low drag fuselage with a large underwing hatch giving good access to the powertrain and RC, making for easy RC installation and maintenance.
A high aspect ratio wing with proprietary airfoils optimised for F5J flying - the wing excels in tight thermal turns, allowing the model to be confidently climbed away from small, weak thermals.
Despite its extremely good thermal performance the wings maintain a good L/D up to higher speeds, allowing the Kappa 20 to easily return from far downwind.
The wing has slightly swept back wing tips, making it approximate to the Schulman planform. This is meant to improve performance and handling, especially near the stall.
Superb quality of construction and attention to detail. The model had been constructed by master builders who must have invested hundreds of hours in each airframe. The level of finish achieved is very rare.
The all the control surfaces are sealed and the wing control horns are all hidden inside the control surfaces, further reducing drag.
The level of completeness of the airframe is exceptional, allowing the model to be finished in just a few days.
The wing breaks down into two pieces and the tailplane is easily removable, allowing the model to be easily transported to contests.
{endbullet}
The model is available in two composite layups:
{b,Glass} - Mostly glass covered flying surfaces, with carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This is the lightest version.
{b,DBox} - The flying surfaces have a carbon DBox at the front. The rest is mostly glass with carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This version weighs approx 30 g more than the Light version but is stronger. This layup costs approx 11% more.
For all wing layups the fuselage is all carbon. For all electric models (irrespective of the fuselage construction) we recommend the 2.4GHz aerials are exited from the fuselage, so they are in the outside airflow. One horizontal and one vertical aerial usually works well. There is too much electrical equipment in an electric glider fuselage for the RC signal to be reliably received inside the pod.
All models are supplied with high quality sewn cloth padded wing bags, to ensure the wing stays in perfect condition. The aileron and flap linkage hardware is included, as is the rudder and elevator horn. But the tail pushrods are not included. We recommend either using pull-spring control runs, as is popular on discus launched gliders. See our {href, products.asp?cat=Other+RC+Products&subcat=DLG+Accessories, DLG hardware} for suitable items. Alternatively use lightweight pushrods made from {href, products.asp?code=CARBON-ROD-1MM, 1mm carbon rods} running in our {href, products.asp?code=PTFE-TUBE-14L, 1.68mm PTFE outer tubes}.
At 203 cm span the Kappa 20 is slightly over the 2 m wing span limit for some competition classes. If competition flying do check with the CD to ensure it is acceptable. If necessary 3 cm can be trimmed from the wing tips without compromising the excellent flying qualities.

These blades are thinner (they have a higher aspect ratio) than normal folding propeller blades, allowing larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. They are also engineered to fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag when folded than other props. See photos 3 and 4 for a visual comparison of GM, RF and Aeronaut props, kindly produced by Andre Jeber Demetrio.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

The new V6 version has the same great specifications as the V5 servo, but is also programmable using a {pref, KST-TOOL2, PC based} or a {pref, KST-TOOL1, press-button} programming tool.
The KST X08N is especially good for ailerons on DLGs, electric racers, and all models with thin flying surfaces. The gearing has been optimised to improve the torque while keeping an excellent speed. The X08-N can be operated from a voltage as low as 3.8V (1S LiPo) or as high as 8.4V (2S LiPo). KST improved its geartrain machining tolerances, and this servo is completely slop free, and equal to products costing twice as much. Despite not having an -MG moniker this servo has metal gears, and is very tough.
The KST X08 N's high torque, good speed, and 8mm thinness make it suitable for many high performance glider, pylon racers and EDF applications. With up to 2.8kg.cm torque the KST X08 is appropriate for F3K, F5D, F5J, many types of high performance models. The accessories include three strong nylon output arms, two double sided, and one single sided, one of which is low profile. This means that when the servos are mounted one in front of the other the control rod of the front one won't foul the rear one.

PULSAR-PRO-2GPulsar Pro 2 RES Sailplane
The {b,Pulsar Pro 2 RES Sailplane} is the latest version of the well regarded line of Pulsar 2m R/C models. Despite the photos showing electric and full house models, the ones we have for sale are definitely RES pure gliders.
The Pulsar Pro 2 is a very light high tech full house 2m glider that is optimised for sport flying. It uses the latest Ukrainian composite construction techniques married to a modern aerodynamic design with a wing utilising Mark Drela's slippery AG25 airfoil for best thermal duration performance. The low wing loading enables excellent thermal climb performance, with fully articulated wing controls allowing the model to be centred accurately in small turbulent thermals. The thin low drag airfoil works well over a surprisingly large speed range, allowing the model to be safely brought back after drifting far downwind.
The new Pulsar Pro 2 fuselage pod is beautifully molded from Kevlar with a large canopy hatch to give easy access to the battery and RC. The boom is a lightweight carbon molding with a molded tailplane mount and a bushed holes for mounting the vertical stabiliser. The tailplane and fin/rudder assembly are both removable for easy storage and transport. The rudder and elevator servos are mounted in the boom to help with CG location.
Like other quality thermal soarers the entire model is constructed using free-flight techniques. The wing is a balsa built-up carbon fibre and Kevlar D-box design that utilizes carbon capped balsa ribs and a carbon trailing edge. All the flying surfaces are expertly covered in Oracover Light, and all the control surfaces have been nicely hinged.
The three piece wing and two piece conventional tail are each easily removable for transport and storage. The careful use of composites, combined with a high quality design ensures a lightweight and rigid structure. This high performance model is perfect for the sports flyer who wants to experience top level performance with a compact and tough airframe.

PULSARPRO-25GPulsar Pro 2.5 Sailplane� The {b,Pulsar Pro 2.5 Sailplane} is a beautifully made built-up glider for modellers wanting great performance in a smaller package. It is particularly suitable for BARCS 100S contests. The Pulsar Pro 2.5 is a very light high tech full house/RES 2.5m glider that is great for sport flying - it is not electric, as shown in the photos. It uses the latest Ukrainian composite construction techniques married to a modern aerodynamic design with a wing utilising Mark Drela's slippery AG25 airfoil for best thermal duration performance. The low wing loading enables excellent thermal climb performance, with fully articulated wing controls allowing the model to be centred accurately in small turbulent thermals. The thin low drag airfoil works well over a surprisingly large speed range, allowing the model to be safely brought back after drifting far downwind.
The Pulsar Pro 2.5 fuselage pod is beautifully molded from Kevlar with a large canopy hatch to give easy access to the RC. The boom is a lightweight carbon molding with a molded tailplane mount and a bushed holes for mounting the vertical stabiliser. The tailplane and fin/rudder assembly are both removable for easy storage and transport. The rudder and elevator servos are mounted in the fin, to simplify the RC installation.
Like other quality thermal soarers the Pulsar Pro 2.5 is constructed using free-flight techniques. The three piece wing is a balsa built-up carbon fibre and Kevlar D-box design that utilizes carbon capped balsa ribs and a carbon trailing edge. All the flying surfaces are expertly covered in Oracover Light, and all the control surfaces have been nicely hinged. An unusual feature of this model is that the centre panel isn't flat, it incorporates some dihedral, which is added to in the tip panels. This improves the efficiency of the wing and raises the dihedral break, reducing the likelihood of ground looping when landing. Note the glider versions are fully winch-proof and have a stronger wing spar and fuselage pod to cope with the increased forces.
The best use of composites, combined with a high quality design ensures a lightweight and rigid structure. This high performance model is perfect for the sports flyer who wants to experience top level performance with a reasonably compact and tough airframe.

Advantages:
{bullet}
The servo horns are screwed to the bearing on the frame. The neutral position of the horns and rod length are regulated separately from the servos. After that we just fasten servos to the frame. This method greatly simplifies the installation and adjustment because servos occupy the entire volume of the upper part of the fuselage.
Inverted upside down servos allow for installation tail rods more inline and move the rods down to release the top of the space for the battery.
The servo horn has additional bearing support. It is reducing the servo backlash and protects servo gear against shock loads.

This product does not work with other manufacturer's (eg Blue Bird) servos as the output spline size and retaining arm screw size is particular to MKS.
These frames speed-up servo installation, keep the servo secure and rigidly mounted, and also allow easy removal for maintenance or replacement. The external bearing reduces side load at the servo output arm, reducing compliance and extending the life of the servo. The external bearing reduces any free play, increasing the stiffness of the control surface, improving control and avoiding flutter problems.
These frames are especially good for the HV6110 as their plastic cases can deflect slightly under extreme load.

���b�� BMS-105HV7Blue Bird BMS-105HV - discontinued, replaced by BMS-125] This product has been replaced by the {pref, BMS-125WV, Blue Bird BMS-125WV} servo.
The {pref, BMS-125WV, Blue Bird BMS-125WV} is a drop-in replacement of the BMS-105HV
The BMS-125 is an improved servo with a better specification.
The {b,Blue Bird BMS-105HV} is a the highest torque servo in the very highly regarded Blue Bird BMS-105HV/106HV/107HV range of 10g servos. At 8.4V the BMS-105HV's torque is 5.3 kg.cm while still having an excellent speed of 0.09 seconds per 60� of movement.
The {b,Blue Bird BMS-105HV} is a great HV servo built to the same space saving form factor as the MKS HV6100. It is similarly precise, with no free play in the geartrain, and it is even more powerful and faster than the competing product. The large output spline is identical to Futaba 25 tooth splines, so replacement output arms are readily available. Note the output spline is not the same as MKS so the servo cannot be used with most MKS accesories.
Note this servo used to be called the Kawatomo CB-1005HV and some products (eg bearing servo frames) still refer to it under this old part ID.

{video,pFuVWf4J9Yc} l � � � Y� � � � � � � � < �� R >� a �{*� `��`�� SNIPE-SNSnipe SN & Snipe SNT/* The acclaimed Snipe, created by multiple world champion {i,Joe Wurts}, has been the world�s best discus launch glider since public release, winning more top level F3K competitions than any other model. This unique glider has advantages in all phases of flight: very easy and high launch, quick climb rate in thermals, extremely low sink rate in dead air, as well as an excellent glide ratio, even at higher speeds, giving good penetration when returning back to the launch point.
Vladimir's Models has been continuously improving the composite construction of the model, reducing the weight of many components, especially the tail, resulting in a model that could on occasion be nose heavy. The new {b,Snipe SN} with a 20mm {b,s}horter {b,n}ose was made as an experiment for the 2015 F3K World Championship to take advantage of these lighter tail surfaces. Team New Zealand, F3K World Champion 2015 Alex Hewson and some other top pilots used this modification during the event to great effect. The Short Nose has these benefits:
{bullet}
Reduced moment of inertia. This reduces the initial yaw of the Snipe SN during launch, increasing launch altitude.
The reduced inertia also makes the Snipe more stable in turbulence or when circling, improving performance and controllability.
The Snipe is responds better to elevator input, reducing pilot workload.
When circling in a thermal, Snipe SN cores better and due to its lower weight needs less bank angle, increasing the climb rate.
{endbullet}
Alex Hewson added the Snipe SN�s advantages to his own unique skills, to become F3K World Champion 2015. The New Zealand Snipe Team (Alex Hewson, Joe Wurts and Kevin Botherway) also placed first in the 2015 F3K WC team event.
Vladimir's Models produce three wing types for different flight condition: Snipe SN Light; Snipe SN; Snipe SN Strong for light, normal, and windy flight conditions. The Snipe SN is also being manufactured in more colour schemes, reducing the possibility of confusing your new Snipe with other models, even when flying at a distance.
The even more radical {b,Snipe SNT} with the new short nose and a 45 mm shorter tail boom has also been made available. The Snipe SNT feels solid and very stable cruising around, and light and lively in pitch when thermalling and manoeuvring. The plane is twitchier in yaw due to the lower yaw damping. With the shorter tailboom, the pilot�s input becomes more important, and more skill is required to get the best from this thoroughbred glider. The pitch characteristics are definitely better, the launch does not seem to be affected and may even be slightly improved, though by too small a difference to measure.
###The plane�s response in yaw from turbulence is the downside with a shorter tailboom, especially if mated with a heavy wing. Once the air gets bumpy, then the increased inertia of the heavier wing makes the handling less pleasant. With a lighter wing, the shorter tailboom works well. That is why we recommend Snipe SNT for more advanced pilots, and with a light wing only. Each fuselage (SN and SNT) is produced in versions for left and right handed throwers.
{b,Snipe SN & SNT Design and Construction}
The Vladimir's Models Snipe is a revolutionary DLG, encompassing radical aerodynamics developed by multiple World Champion and professional aero engineer Joe Wurts. By running an exhaustive computer analysis of all phases of a discus launch model's flight envelope Wurts has produced an optimal aerodynamic design, allowing the Snipe to achieve extremely high launches while also having a wider speed range than contemporary models. The proprietary JW airfoil has been designed for maximal laminar flow while also avoiding separation bubbles in launch and cruise conditions. The tail has been specially optimised with new airfoils and planform. The horizontal stabiliser (tailplane+elevator) is mounted on a short pylon below the boom, and the elevator horn is cleverly recessed into the pylon to reduce drag. The vertical stabiliser (fin+rudder) is cambered to give more corrective force during the launch, reducing energy-sapping yaws, resulting in exceptional launch heights. The fuselage has a slot for the fin ready cut into the boom. As the fin camber is orientated differently for left handed and right handed throwers the model needs to be ordered with a suitably handed fuselage.
Even the best aerodynamic design is of limited use unless it is implemented in a strong, lightweight, and smooth airframe that can be assembled by the average modeller. Here Vladimir's Models has excelled, creating new technologies to produce a super smooth solid molded ding-resistant wing that only weighs as little as approx 93 g and a model that can be built to a flying weight as low as 205 g (7.2 oz). The front fuselage is based on the Blaster 3 design, which has a fully removable slip-on nosecone, giving unrestricted access to the RC, and allowing a very easy servo installation. The rear pod design has been changed to allow internal aileron connections to reduce drag. The vertical and horizontal stabilisers are actuated by supplied pull-spring hardware, totally eliminating slop and saving tail weight. The kit is highly complete and very little work is required to get the model airborne. Just a few glue joints and fitting the RC is all that is required. All control linkage hardware is supplied.
{img, extras/Snipe-DLG-wing-const-600.jpg, Snipe molded wing construction}
The wing design uses ground breaking solid molded fabrication techniques to maximise strength and toughness, while keeping weight to a minimum. The spar is constructed from high modulus unidirectional carbon flanges, which are bonded to the wing skin, these are kept rigid by a carbon shear web with a �45� fibre orientation. The wing skins are made from Vladimir's Carboline ultra light spread carbon, ensuring rigidity and excellent strength. The aileron is mounted using a very strong yet free Kevlar living hinge.
{img, extras/Snipe-DLG-flap-const-600.jpg, Snipe molded wing flap construction}
The wing mount consists of two cone shaped holes that mate with carbon mounting cones built into the fuselage. The conical holes are very strongly reinforced with carbon doublers on the lower and top wing surface, ensuring a long service life. The ailerons incorporate a spar and shear web to maximise stiffness and eliminate flutter.
The Snipe has the advantage in all phases of flight: it's very light weight and low drag allow pilots to throw the model to amazing altitudes with little exertion, the JW airfoil and light weight results in a great rate of climb even in weak thermals, and the clean aerodynamic design and internal aileron linkages give an extremely good L/D and the ability to return home from long distances downwind. The combination of outstanding launch height and an exceptionally low sink rate gives great still air duration. Even at its low weight the Snipe can cope with average wind speeds well, however 30 g, 60 g or 85 g ballast pieces can be fitted internally, allowing the model to be flown in winds up to the FAI limit with confidence.
The Snipe SN is available in three wing layups:
<i>
{b,Strong}: Custom three layer spread carbon wing skin weighing approx 58 g/m�. Wing weight approx 20g more than the Light layup.
Good for powerful throwers, all ballasts and all wind conditions.
{b,Standard}: Spread carbon wing skin weighing 39 g/m�. Wing weight approx 10g more than the Light layup.
Okay for powerful throwers, all ballasts and medium wind conditions. (Called plain Snipe on Vladimir's site.)
{b,Light}: Very fine spread carbon wing skin weighing only 26 g/m�. Wing weight as listed below.
Better for average throwers, up to 30 g ballast and light to medium wind conditions.
</i>
We will attempt to stock all layups of the one piece wing, but may not always manage this.
#Summer 2017 Update: A 2 piece wing is now available as an option. This assymetrically split to the right of the centreline version adds only 6 grams to the weight, and makes transporting the model much more convenent - especially by air. This option is only recommended for right handed launchers. Also note the two piece wing model is shipped in a smaller box, reducing the delivery cost. This may make it the more economical option for many customers.

6 � q � � a\� � � � � � � � � sale 535.00 d� `�=� `��`�� SHINTO-XP0Shinto Expert F3F Racer Glider 3m with wing bags- We are pleased to have some of Vladimir�s Models new {b,Shinto Expert F3F} models. The {b, Shinto Expert} is an improvement to an already great design optimised for F3F, F3B, and fast sport flying, either from slope or flat field sites. Aeronautical design is by Max Steidle, a highly regarded aero engineer, with input from Stefan Eder and structural design and manufacture by Vladimir's Models. The new Shinto {i, Expert} variant has many detail improvements over the original model, and these major enhancements:
{bullet}
Improved fuselage design that is lighter and has lower drag and a slip-on nosecone to give better access to the RC.
Larger V tails to give better manoeuvrability and even faster F3F runs.
Even stronger wing.
{endbullet} Note that some of the photos still show the original Shinto with the fuselage with a canopy hatch - the models we have for sale now are definitely the {i, Shinto Expert} version with the above improvements.
The aircraft is available in three layups:
{b,F}: F3F = slope racing = strongest/heaviest layup
{b,B}: F3B = flat field thermalling and racing = medium layup
{b,J}: F3J & F5J = flat field thermal soaring = least strong/lightest layup
(The {b,T} layup mentioned on the VM site is "wing is same as early", so is compatible with previous F3F Shintos we think.)
All versions are strong and reasonably light for their intended task. We generally only stock the F3F version but will special order the other versions on request.
{b,All Shintos we supply are ready fitted with servo frames and IDS servo linkages} to speed assembly, come with high quality {pref,SHINTO-WING-BAG,Shinto Wing and V tail bags} and a quality {b,wiring loom}. These are charged extras from other suppliers.
Quote by Simon Thornton, F3F Champion of Champions: <i>It is a superb model, very light but very stiff, so it will happily fly in 25 m/s slope conditions without getting squirrelly. Ideal battery pack is a 1600 mAh LiFe. I have found the supplied noseweight is a little too heavy, so it is worth advising buyers to check before gluing in! This is the model that helped me win the UK F3F League 2015 and 2015 F3F Champion of Champions contest.</i>
The wing is a two piece hollow molded structure with a very substantial spar and joiner system. The wing skin is a Carboline spread carbon - Rohacell - Carboline sandwich, with a strong carbon spar and carbon sandwich shear web. A full wiring harness is supplied with the model, so no soldering is required to install the RC.
{img, extras/Shinto-wing-construction.jpg, Shinto wing construction}
{b,All our Shinto Experts are supplied with IDS} (stands for Integrated Drive System, also called LDS for Linear Drive System on Vladimir's site) frames installed in the wings with ready to connect linkages for the flap and aileron servos. These beautifully engineered Integrated Drive Systems allow the servo to be dropped into place in the pre-fitted frame. A pre-fitted pushrod of optimal length and geometry is already connected to each of the control surfaces, massively simplifying the installation. This system utilises an external bearing built into each servo's mounting frame, increasing control rigidity, reducing servo forces, and improving the structural integration of the servo in the wing. It also allows the servo to be removed easily for servicing or replacement if required. All models are fitted with IDS frames and pushrods suitable for MKS HV 6130, Futaba/Robbe S3173, Graupner DS 3288, JR DS 171, JR DS 179 HV, JR DS 189 HV, JR DS 378, or JR DS 398 servos. The servos required are listed with the colour scheme below the price.
{img, extras/Shinto-wing-joiner-construction.jpg, Shinto wing joiner construction}
The Shinto Expert wing joiner is made of carbon prepreg in the steel mold with high pressure and cured at a temperature of 130 deg C. The wing joiner includes ballast compartments for mounting 680 g of steel ballast slugs. These joiner-ballast slugs are not included in the kit. For best performance in windy conditions we recommend a the {pref,SHINTO-BALLAST,Shinto Wing Ballast Set} is used. This adds up to 1850 g of mass to the plane.
The Shinto Expert fuselage is laminated in an aluminium mold using a pressure balloon. The forward part is made of Kevlar and high modulus glass, and is 2.4Ghz friendly. The rear part is laminated using high modulus carbon fiber. The adjustable tow hook and the control rods are installed already. A beautiful V-tail horn carbon hatch is supplied. The Shinto is supplied with a molded nose ballast, with a weight of approx. 100 g. Note this may need reducing, depending upon the battery used.
The Shinto V-tail is a spread carbon sandwich construction. The stabilizers fit perfectly to the fuselage and the elevator horns are installed and hidden by the tailcone fairing. The stabilizers and wings must be secured to the fuselage with tape after assembly.

The Medina kit is here! The kit includes hardware for the Medina to be built for either F3L (pure glider) or F5L (electric). F3L and F5L are the new names for F3-RES (glider) and F5-RES (electric) competion classes.
Created by Armsoar in partnership with Performance Models in Australia, the {b,Medina} uses new airfoils purpose-designed for the flight envelope of modern F3/F5-RES competition flying. The wingtips are specifically optimized for great tip-stalling characteristics and could handle high variations in angle of attack. The result? A glider that turns tighter and more efficiently than similar designs, perfect for low-level thermal flying
The properly-sized and removable V-tail is designed for control and great low speed handling, crucial during soft thermals and the landing phase. And of course, the V-tail not only looks good, but helps minimize the overall drag of the Medina for better L/D in all aspects of the flight envelope.
The fuselage is minimalistic, further minimizing overall drag from the completed model.

These {b,Linear Drive Systems} include an external bearing to minimise slop and compliance, and simplify fuselage servo installation.
This inverted servo installation is a brilliant idea for the electric Supra, and it is good for the glider version too. This LDS system is easy to install and improves the RC installation.
This LDS set can be used in most F3F, F3J and F5J and other slope and thermal gliders to help with fuselage servo installation.
Advantages:
{bullet}
The servo horns are screwed to the bearing on the frame. The neutral position of the horns and rod length are regulated separately from the servos. After that we just fasten servos to the frame. This method greatly simplifies the installation and adjustment because servos occupy the entire volume of the upper part of the fuselage.
Inverted upside down servos allow for installation tail rods more inline and move the rods down to release the top of the space for the battery.

These {b,Linear Drive Systems} include an external bearing to minimise slop and compliance, and simplify fuselage servo installation.
This LDS set can be used in most F3F, F3J and F5J and other slope and thermal gliders to help with fuselage servo installation.
This inverted servo installation is a brilliant idea for the electric Maxa and it is good for the glider version too. This LDS system is easy to install and improves the RC installation.
Advantages:
{bullet}
The servo horns are screwed to the bearing on the frame. The neutral position of the horns and rod length are regulated separately from the servos. After that we just fasten servos to the frame. This method greatly simplifies the installation and adjustment because servos occupy the entire volume of the upper part of the fuselage.
Inverted upside down servos allow for installation tail rods more inline and move the rods down to release the top of the space for the battery.

� � ! � � � � � � � � � � < P C� X��`� ��`�� STRIKE2Strike 2 1m DLG� The {b, Strike 2} and is a lovely 1m mini DLG we are now able to import directly from Ukraine. <!--The {b, Strike 2 Pro} is basically the same model with the flying surfaces made using Rohacell 31 as the foam core material. This is stronger and allows a better surface finish, for no weight penalty.-->
The {b, Strike 2} is nicely made using 38 g/m2 Carboline spread carbon, the model is exceptionally light, while also being strong and very rigid, allowing high launches. Still air times of 2 minutes have been reported by strong launchers, and pilots comment on the excellent performance and sweet handling. Its full span ailerons allow camber adjustment in flight, giving it a wide speed range, allowing it to be flown in moderate winds, which is unusual for 1m gliders.
The Strike2's fuselage is a one piece (not pod and boom) design of oval cross section, with the front part made from 2.4GHz friendly glass, and the rear from spread carbon. There is an ample access hatch on the underside, giving good access to the RC installation. Although the aileron servos can be fitted in the wing most builders opt for four servos in the pod to minimise nose weight and yaw inertia. This does make for a cramped installation, and as only instructions available are various online build logs we don't recommend the Strike 2 as a first discus launch glider.
The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) is bolted onto a small pylon mounted below the boom, and the fin (vertical stabiliser) has a perfectly matching hole molded into it, enabling easy mounting onto the end of the tailboom.
The Strike 2 wing is solid molded with a spread carbon skin over a CNC cut foam core. <!--The core is XPS in the standard Strike 2 version. The {b,Strike 2 Pro} version has the wing cores milled from Rohacell 31. This is a stronger more dimensionally stable foam resulting in a more rigid wing that will retain a good surface finish for longer. The Strike 2 Pro version costs approx. 14% more but will result in a better flying longer lasting model.--> The wing is a nicely made spread carbon molded structure. It is incredibly light and strong, and has a perfect surface finish. The ailerons are fabricated with a living hinge. The only work required to finish the wings is installing the throwing blade and control horns.
The Strike 2 DLG is supplied with a very complete accessory pack which includes all control horns, pushrod wires, tail torque springs, tail pull cord, a tail mounting pylon, a nice throwing blade and even a useful ply template for setting up wing camber. Now also included is a small glass plate for mounting the servos, and balsa and ply blocks for attaching this plate to the pod. Another improvement requested by HyperFlight is that the manufacturer is now cutting the slots for the aileron pushrods. This eliminates the most difficult part of the RC installation..

� � � � � �N� � � � � � � � � Z� 5 ]? m � ���b�� PICO-SWITCH-JRBPicoSwitch - Magnetic RC On-Off Switch for batteries with RC plugs� The {b,PicoSwitch} is a lightweight magnetic switch and is ideal for RC gliders and DLGs. This device allows the radio control gear to be switched on and off by holding the supplied magnet close to the switch for three seconds. This version has a standard RC (JR) socket at the battery end, making it suitable for most RC receiver batteries. The receiver end is fitted with a standard RC (JR) plug, as used on servos.
If the switch is mounted under fuse skin the magnet can be outside and the switch inside, so the RC can be switched on without removing the access hatch. Careful firmware design ensures that stray magnetic fields cannot toggle the switch incorrectly.
The device defaults to {b,on} when first powered up - this safety feature means that if there is a brief voltage drop caused by a bad connection or low battery voltage the device will stay on when the voltage returns. It also means that the model can be flown if the magnet is lost, just unplug and re-plug the receiver battery to switch it on.
{b,The benefits of this magnetic RC on-off switch}
{bullet}
Clever firmware indicates when the switch is sensing the magnet to give instant feedback.
When switched on the LED flashes indicating the RC is now on.
The flashes are very brief to keep the switch's energy usage to a minimum.
The magnetic switch utilises a Hall Effect Sensor (no mechanical switching parts).
Safe and reliable :
Default to on - if the battery is disconnected and then reconnected the output will turn on every time.
The magnetic switch is programmed to ensure the magnet is over the sensor for 3 seconds without interruption and only then will it toggle the switch state.
Extremely resilient to magnetic interference due to the algorithm used.
{endbullet}
{b,Switch Installation}
When the switch is plugged into the power supply for the first time the output will turn on and the LED will flash.
{bullet}
Place the switch as close to the fuselage or wing surface as possible.
Use a thin piece of double sided tape to hold the switch in place.
To locate the sensor simply sweep over the approximate sensor location area, when the Hall effect device sees the magnet the LED will turn solid on indicating the perfect position.
Use a marker pen and mark where the sensor is located.
{endbullet}
{b,Magnetic Switch Operation}
{bullet}
To turn the switch off place the supplied magnet over the sensor and the LED will light up continuously. Hold the magnet in place for 3 seconds without interruption. Tip: count 1, 1000, 2, 2000, 3, 3000.
To turn on the RC hold the magnet over the sensor again, no delay required.
{endbullet}
Please ensure a full range check of the model is undertaken prior to use. The pack includes the switch and two small neodymium magnets - one needed plus a spare. It does not include the {pref, PICO-KEYFOB, Magnetic Keyfob and Lanyard} shown in the related products sidebar. To mount the magnet and make it more visible cut some balsawood to the required size, make a hole for the magnet, and cover it with sticky tape.

These blades are thinner (they have a higher aspect ratio) than normal folding propeller blades, allowing larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. They are also engineered to fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag when folded than other props. See photos 3 and 4 for a visual comparison of GM, RF and Aeronaut props, kindly produced by Andre Jeber Demetrio.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

The wing airfoil was changed. Instead of the AD series airfoils the new MID line are used.
The fuselage pod was changed. Its shape in front of the wing differs. Also, the fuselage under the wing saddle is higher. Now it can accept both tail servos. The pushrods are shorter. The common 1 meter pushrods can be used.
The space in the fuselage in front of the wing was increased and it can easily accept the parts of the power unit.
The tailboom is lighter, what decreased overall weight of the model.
The wing and tail cores are produced of fine-grade styrofoam. It is covered with double layer of glasscloth 25 grams/m2.
The spar consists of carbon stips.
The fuselage is of classical design: carbon/Kevlar pod and carbon/glass boom.
The power unit setup is designed so that the model could climb 200 meters within 30 seconds. The power train consists of the Dualsky motor XM2208ECO V2 KV1800, 2S battery and prop Aeronaut 9,5x5 - 10x6.
The info below and the photos are of the original Geronimo, not the Geronimo 2 (AKA Geronimo II X). We confirm we have the Geronimo 2 (AKA Geronimo II X) in stock now. We will update the page when we have time.</i>
The {b,Geronimo} is a lightweight electric thermal soarer designed for the Czech/Slovak 2.5m F5J electric glider class. Like the smaller model it borrows many design and technology refinements from discus launched gliders, and the aerodynamic design is well thought out and fault-free.
The nicely finished smooth glass skinned foam core wing has a substantial carbon spar. Each wing half is molded with the polyhedral in place, ensuring a very smooth and low drag surface, and good stability. The small lightweight fuselage pod is of kevlar/carbon construction and can accommodate folding props up to 20" diameter, allowing good climb rates. The convenient canopy hatch allows access to the electric motor and battery. The rear fuselage is made of a lightweight but long carbon boom, giving excellent flight stability.
The tail feathers have a similar construction to the wings and are in a conventional cross tail configuration, with a fin and tailplane. The tailplane is removable for easy transport. The control surfaces are actuated by servos in the pod using the supplied pushrods. This helps the CG to be correctly positioned even when using a lightweight powertrain.
The light weight, high aspect ratio, generous dihedral and tail moments, make the Geronimo a high performance and easy to fly thermal soarer that flies like a much more expensive design. The modern thin airfoil and four servo wing gives the model a wide speed range. The tough construction and excellent price point make it a very good first competition model.
The kit includes minimal English instructions, but a good set of build photos can be found {href,http://ivanhorejsi.rajce.idnes.cz/Geronimo/,here}.

� � � � � � � � d r� Wr��� `��`�� INFINITYInfinity F5J 3.5mv The {b,Infinity F5J} is the latest high tech ultra lightweight model to come from Slovakia. The heart of the model is the excellent wing with specially developed airfoils by Dirk Pflug. Superbly molded from biaxial spread carbon, the design has been optimised for catching low level thermals. Its 3.5m span is considered in Europe to be the optimal size for getting away from low starts, and its generous wing area gives it a low loading so it can turn tightly and make best use of the small weak thermals often found at lower altitude. Its two piece wing reduces inertia so any bumps in the air are shown very clearly. This wing configuration also makes for an uncluttered fuselage, allowing easy powertrain and RC installation.
The Infinity F5J is available in two layups:
{b,Light} - the wing is made from 40g biaxial spread carbon and the tails are from 24g biaxial carbon, giving an empty airframe weight of approx 850 g.
{b,Performance} - the wing is made from 60g biaxial spread carbon and the tails are from 40g biaxial carbon, giving an empty airframe weight of approx 990 g.
All models are supplied with nice wing and tail bags and well engineered ballast systems that can add up to 330 g to the model's weight in three steps. This makes for a very flexible model that will excel in most flying conditions.
We only stock the {b,Pro Build} version of the Infinity. This has servo frames fitted and IDS systems installed. Also included are a wing wiring harness with all connectors, servo covers, and push rod hardware.

The Futaba S3173SVI is faster, more powerful, and is totally slop-free. The lack of free play, high voltage operation, and proven heritage makes this one of the best wing servos for many F3J, F3B, F3F gliders, F5J eSoarers, scale gliders and helicopters. The servo works from 5.7V to 8.4V allowing use from 5 cell NiMH batteries, 2S LiPos, and many BEC systems.
The Futaba / Robbe S3173SVI utilises the S.BUS2 interface {b,that works perfectly with normal receivers} - a Futaba receiver is NOT required. The cable is plug-in, and can also daisy-chain from one servo to the next when used in SBUS2 configuration. The new motor design is stronger and 30% faster than previous S3150 type servos. With a speed of 0.15 sec/45 � this servo is even faster than the Futaba S3150 when used at 6V.
The servo has double mounting lugs on both sides making a servo frame superfluous. The S3173 SVI is ideal as a wing servo, even for large gliders and competition machines, as well as for small and medium sized helicopters.

� � 92� 6 � "� � � � � � � � 2 Made in China.# �� ^��� f `��`� ULTIMA2Ultima 2 F5J 4m� The {b,Ultima 2} from DS composites is their newest F5J competition model. Optimized specifically for F5J, it sports a brand new wing, fuselage and tails and features a 3 piece wing , a two-piece 2.4 friendly fuselage (nose and main fuselage) and detachable tails for easier transport. The two parts of the fuselage are interlocked by the wing when mounted on the fuselage. This means to assemble the fuselage you just need to slip the nose piece on the main fuselage, plug the motor connector, install the wing via 2 screws and the nose is locked into position and ready for flight. No tape, no dedicated screws, perfect alignment. An added bonus is the ability to replace the nose and motor system with a nose that has a stronger motor for windy conditions. Interchangeability allows sharing the nosecone between models and quick powertrain reconfiguration at the field.
Wing:
Unlike many F5J�s wings which are designed as dual-purpose wings for F3J, the Ultima 2 wing was designed without the strength considerations of F3J launch. This allows the reduction of both the width and thickness of the wing and enables a design which boosts the performance of the wing considerably. The Ultima 2 wing is 234 mm wide at the root and sports 8 optimized airfoils along the span starting with a 7.5% thick airfoil at the root and ending with a 5.4% airfoil at the tip.
Although the Ultima 2 wing is available with 2 wing lengths, 4 meters and 3.6 meters HyperFlight will only be stocking the 4m version. However we are happy to obtain the 3.6m version to special order. Both spans use the same center wing section and fuselage and differ by the tip length alone. The Ultima 2 �short tips� is aimed to be more agile and the Ultima 2 �long tips� incorporates slightly higher performance in both L/D and in rate of descent.
Both wings and fuselage fold down to a length just below 150 cm. Early on it was decided that saving 30-40 grams and putting them back into the wing to make it stiffer was more important than a model which folds down to 120-110 cm instead of 150 cm. Therefore, the center and the longest part of the fuselage are just shy of 150 cm.
Fuselage:
The fuselage of the Ultima 2 is designed to be both functional as well as high performing. Airflow on F5J fuselages is turbulent due to the effects of the propeller at the very front of the fuselage. The resulting turbulence on the fuselage increases drag proportionally to the surface area of the fuselage and not directly to its cross section. Therefore, a small increase to the cross section adds very little drag to the fuselage while enabling an easy installation with even easier ballast arrangement. The slightly increased cross section allows more options of equipment and easy access to components along with room for batteries of different sizes and positions to adjust the CG.
The wing is mounted on the fuselage by means of a small pylon which reduces the drag but also enables an excellent grip to the fuselage even in strong winds, a very important feature for safe launching in gusty weather. The tail boom is a balance between low surface area aimed at drag reduction and volume for stiffness and strength.
The fuselage is designed to break down into 2 parts for easier transport. At first, we explored a 2-piece fuselage which parts behind the trailing edge of the wing but the cost of moving the components to such an aft position is the need to balance the model with a heavier battery or motor so a light model will require less material and a subsequent reduction in strength to achieve its target weight. After investigating several options, we opted to position the servos in a designated compartment in front of the leading edge of the wing and have the nose be removed by a �nose cone� of sorts which includes all motor system parts such as the motor, propeller, controller, battery, and altimeter and a canopy for easy access. The nose is slipped over the fuselage and only the motor control needs to be plugged allowing a servo extension to act as the connector, thereby reducing installation weight to a minimum. The nose is also designed to be 2.4 friendly so the antennas can be mounted inside the fuselage to reduce drag and prevent damage. The servo installation in the fuselage allows the use of the same servos of the wing in a similar installation so you need to keep only one type of servo as a spare for the entire model.
Tails:
The tails of the Ultima 2 have been redesigned with both drag and handling in mind. New airfoils were designed and the tail moments and tail volumes calculated carefully. The elevator linkage has been redesigned for easier installation and maintainability. Controlling the tails is done via carbon pushrods in Teflon sleeves.
Production:
Production of the Ultima 2 is done in aluminium pressure molds. Wings and tails are full Rohacell core. Fuselage is pressure molded similar to DLG fuselages. Lessons have been learned from the Ultima 1 and the molds were designed lighter and more accurate and also analyzed to reduce deformations in the production process. The mold for the center section is a piece of art milled in one part with the dihedral angle in the middle. This prevents deformation and improves the surface quality at the very root. All parts are post-cured at high temperatures and only high quality 2 part colour systems are used in the production.
Versions:
Light � Aimed at minimal FAI wing loadings, this is the lightest version for low winds and min sink conditions. This version is limited up to 300 grams of ballast. 1020-1120 g flying weight.
Normal � The most functional version, a good balance between strength and performance, able to carry up to 500 grams of ballast. Long wing � 1250-1350 g flying weight
Strong � Reinforced wing skins, reinforced spar and fuselage. For winds and turbulence. A more robust version for when conditions require more weight and thermals are strong. Able to carry up to 650 grams of ballast. 1450-1550 g flying weight
The wing and tail and fuselage bags are available at extra cost. We highly recommend the are purchased with the model, see {pref, ULTIMA-WING-BAG, Ultima wing and tail bags}.

In 2010 Vladimir's Models began a series of experiments to create an extra light carbon fabric. After numerous tests they perfected the design for a machine to spread the carbon fibre tows to a thickness of 0.02 mm. This allowed the company to create a biaxial fabric from extra strength carbon fibres with a weight as low as 26 g/m�.
Today this fabric is used not only in Vladimir's Models planes but is also used by many other model and sports equipment manufacturers who demand the best, lightest, and strongest carbon for their products.
Now this high-strength fabric using IMS65 carbon fibres is accessible also to you.
Two sizes of Carboline sheet are available. Please select the required size using the radio buttons below the price. Delivered rolled, supported by orange peel ply fabric.

These {b,Linear Drive Systems} include an external bearing to minimise slop and compliance, and simplify fuselage servo installation.
This inverted servo installation is a brilliant idea for the electric Supra, and it is good for the glider version too. This LDS system is easy to install and improves the RC installation.
This LDS set can be used in most F3F, F3J and F5J and other slope and thermal gliders to help with fuselage servo installation.
Advantages:
{bullet}
The servo horns are screwed to the bearing on the frame. The neutral position of the horns and rod length are regulated separately from the servos. After that we just fasten servos to the frame. This method greatly simplifies the installation and adjustment because servos occupy the entire volume of the upper part of the fuselage.
Inverted upside down servos allow for installation tail rods more inline and move the rods down to release the top of the space for the battery.
The servo horn has additional bearing support. It is reducing the servo backlash and protects servo gear against shock loads.

This device allows the radio control gear to be switched on and off by holding the supplied magnet close to the switch for three seconds. This version has a JST BEC socket at the battery end, making it suitable for LiPo batteries supplied with red JST BEC plugs, as is most common. The receiver end is fitted with a standard RC (JR) plug, as used on servos.
If the switch is mounted under fuse skin the magnet can be outside and the switch inside, so the RC can be switched on without removing the access hatch. Careful firmware design ensures that stray magnetic fields cannot toggle the switch incorrectly.
The device defaults to {b,on} when first powered up - this safety feature means that if there is a brief voltage drop caused by a bad connection or low battery voltage the device will stay on when the voltage returns. It also means that the model can be flown if the magnet is lost, just unplug and re-plug the receiver battery to switch it on.
{b,The benefits of this magnetic RC on-off switch}
{bullet}
Clever firmware indicates when the switch is sensing the magnet to give instant feedback.
When switched on the LED flashes indicating the RC is now on.
The flashes are very brief to keep the switch's energy usage to a minimum.
The magnetic switch utilises a Hall Effect Sensor (no mechanical switching parts).
Safe and reliable :
Default to on - if the battery is disconnected and then reconnected the output will turn on every time.
The magnetic switch is programmed to ensure the magnet is over the sensor for 3 seconds without interruption and only then will it toggle the switch state.
Extremely resilient to magnetic interference due to the algorithm used.
{endbullet}
{b,Switch Installation}
When the switch is plugged into the power supply for the first time the output will turn on and the LED will flash.
{bullet}
Place the switch as close to the fuselage or wing surface as possible.
Use a thin piece of double sided tape to hold the switch in place.
To locate the sensor simply sweep over the approximate sensor location area, when the Hall effect device sees the magnet the LED will turn solid on indicating the perfect position.
Use a marker pen and mark where the sensor is located.
{endbullet}
{b,Magnetic Switch Operation}
{bullet}
To turn the switch off place the supplied magnet over the sensor and the LED will light up continuously. Hold the magnet in place for 3 seconds without interruption. Tip: count 1, 1000, 2, 2000, 3, 3000.
To turn on the RC hold the magnet over the sensor again, no delay required.
{endbullet}
Please ensure a full range check of the model is undertaken prior to use. The pack includes the switch and two small neodymium magnets - one needed plus a spare. It does not include the {pref, PICO-KEYFOB, Magnetic Keyfob and Lanyard} shown in the related products sidebar.

The {b,X-RES} is a built-up CNC cut balsa and ply kit designed for the new F3-RES high-start launched 2m Rudder-Elevator-Spoiler glider class popular in Germany and Austria.
The {b,X-RES} is the latest development of Alois Janowetz, the designer of the Minores, one of the top models of the 2015 season, with the many competition wins (including 3 victories in the Bavarian Open) in Austria and Germany. The new X-RES performs even better, with a documented sink rate of just 0.31 m/s (61 ft/min), which is exceptional for a 2m model.
The X-RES has pleasant flight characteristics and brilliant performance. The model is very agile and extremely easy to fly. The pre-production models enthused the test pilots and the flight performance was clear from the start. The sophisticated design and the brilliant use of weight-optimized materials allows a flying weight of 420g and thus a wing loading as low as 11 g/dm2 (3.7 oz/sq ft) out of the box, giving amazing performance.
The large 2-part spoilers allow almost vertical descents without an increase in speed. The wing separates into three panels and the tailplane is removable making the model very easy to transport.
The CNC cut kit has very simple and robust construction. With the exception of the 6 mm CFRP rods for the wing and the GRP rocker for the moving tailplane only selected and optimized balsa and plywood are used.
All components are bonded with easily available glue and the model's construction is simple, considering the excellent performance potential. The fuselage is already prepared for a ballast tube, which can take weights up to 250g. The design allows the use of commercially available and easily obtainable components. The recommended battery is an Eneloop E-550 or 800mAh in cube form. Oralight covering is recommended. An adjustable tow hook is standard and is included in the kit.
The kit includes a colour plan and comprehensive instructions. An English translation is included/available.

MKS-HV6130)MKS HV6130 Wing Servo - 10mm 23g 8.1Kg.cm The fantastic {b,MKS HV6130 Wing Servo} is here! The HV6130 has 8.1 Kg.cm of torque, absolutely no free play (zero slop) and works on 1S and 2S LiPo as well as 4.8V - 6V NiMH batteries. The aluminium casing and especially the third mounting point between the output shaft bearing and the motor housing creates a very rigid mechanism, minimising compliance. The {i,Bulit-In Safe System} ensures that if the motor shorts out for any reason the driver isolates the motor, allowing the plane to land safely without excess current drain.
The {b,MKS HV6130} is a low-medium-high voltage servo to replace the acclaimed {pref, MKS-DS6125, MKS DS6125 Glider} and {pref, MKS-DS6125-Mini,MKS DS6125 Mini} servos. It is specially optimised for glider fliers, with outstanding torque, precision, and a very low dead band. On a 2S LiPo battery it has higher torque and speed than the DS6125 Mini, DS6125 Glider and even the {pref, MKS-HBL6625-MINI,HBL6625 Mini} servo. At 23 g it is also lighter than all these servos. It is a very high torque 10 mm thin servo suitable for many glider, jet, heli and other applications. It has more torque and a better geartrain than all other high voltage servos of this size and price range.
At only 10 mm thick this superb wing-servo can easily fit in thin wings, and with an excellent 8.1 kg.cm torque and a blistering 0.10s/60� speed it is excellent for flaps, ailerons and other control surfaces on many high performance F3B, F3F, F3J, DS gliders, and F5J electric gliders, jets, ducted fans and fast sport slopers.

These blades are thinner (they have a higher aspect ratio) than normal folding propeller blades, allowing larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. They are also engineered to fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag when folded than other props. See photos 3 and 4 for a visual comparison of GM, RF and Aeronaut props, kindly produced by Andre Jeber Demetrio.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

#Boom F3K DLG6 We're delighted to announce the arrival of the new {b,#Boom} DLG. This beautifully manufactured model looks set to rival the best quality DLGs we stock. With sharp colour schemes, coupled with a useful variety of strong or light layups using Rohacell or XPS foam cores, we expect any buyer will be as impressed as we are by this carefully crafted and implemented design. The flying qualities of this model are reputed to be excellent, with a good launch, a flat glide, and great handling. The great construction ensures it will withstand the rough and tumble of F3K competitive flying, and it should last many seasons of sport use.
The beautifully molded and nicely streamlined all carbon fuselage features a hatch that gives access to a spacious equipment area, allowing four servos to be installed in the pod comparatively easily. The tailplane is mounted on a lovely small pylon, and the fin is molded to accept the tail boom for easy construction. The fin and tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) are expertly molded from a lightweight Carboline type of spread carbon, with extra carbon inserts to strengthen the trailing edge and the tips of the surfaces.
The wing is molded to a very high standard with a complex layup schedule to ensure strength in the areas required, but weight is minimised where it can be, without compromising strength. The quality of the surface finish is excellent, and the colour scheme is eye catching, with white edged splinter designs on the upper surface wing tips, and very visible colour/white/colour underside stripes.
The wing is offered in four different skin and core combinations. The carbon skin can be supplied using heavier checkerboard type carbon fabric ("Strong" layup), or with lightweight Carboline type biaxial spread carbon ("Light" layup). The wing is of solid molded construction, meaning that there is foam filling the gap between the top and bottom wing skins. This foam can be either Rohacell for a more resilient and perhaps very slightly lighter wing. Alternatively the foam can be XPS, which is slightly less strong but very much less expensive. The Strong and Light layups are priced similarly, but the Rohacell core adds additional cost, to cover the greater material cost. See the core, layup and colour options currently available below the price.
The very complete accessory bag contains the tailplane mounting pylon, an offset throwing blade, aileron, rudder and elevator horns, two M4 and two M3 countersink screws for securing the wing and tail respectively. Also included are beautiful lightweight wire tail pushrods running in very lightweight tubes, and aileron pushrods and tube outers for good aileron control.

High quality clear plastic zig-zag turbulator tape, approx 8 mm wide.
This tape produces tiny vortexes on the wing surface, energising the airflow and reducing the possibility of the flow separating, and a stall occurring, improving low speed performance and handling.
Generally these sort of zigzag 3D turbulators increase drag very slightly at high speeds, but improve the flow and reduce drag at low speeds. The best position of the tape needs to be found by trial and error with careful performance measurements (or in a wind tunnel). They are most commonly placed on the upper surface at about 20% chord, and less often on the lower surface at about 40% chord.
They are sometimes also positioned just in front of the ailerons to improve aileron effectiveness and reduce tip stalling.

Price reduced ~1/10/19 $� c ��� ���b�# GM17X10 GM 17x10 Folding prop bladesm A pair of very high quality {b,GM 17 x 10 folding prop blades}, suitable for HyperFlight's and other makes of folding prop yokes and spinners.
These blades are thinner (they have a higher aspect ratio) than normal folding propeller blades, allowing larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. They are also engineered to fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag when folded than other props. See photos 3 and 4 for a visual comparison of GM, RF and Aeronaut props, kindly produced by Andre Jeber Demetrio.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

Even though it is the older non-Turbo version it is strong enough to power a 1100 g {pref,ultima,Ultima F5J} or even a 1200 g {pref,infinity,Infinity F5J} - getting it to 200 m in 20 to 28 seconds.
This powertrain consists of a special higher KV Lehner 1015 12 wind ultra high efficient brushless motor fitted to a 6.75:1 high reduction ratio planetary gearbox. The gearbox is both efficient and tough, so will withstand F5J competition arrivals.
The weight of the complete F5J power system using a Powerline Micro 1015 is only about 197 g. See the table below. In addition to the low weight the 2S flight battery can be used to power the RC directly (if using HV servos like the MKS HV6100) so that there is no danger of BEC failure, and 2.4GHz receiver voltage telemetry can be used to indicate flight battery voltage too.

} � 2� � � � � � � � � � ; � Brass b��� � `��`�= VINCO Vinco 4m F5JO The {b,Vinco F5J} is a new lightweight 4m model similar to the Ultima and Infinity. With a flying weight in the 1170 g to 1300 g region it is exceptionally light for a 4m model. The Vinco F5J is specifically designed for F5J competition. Its aerodynamic design is based on the very successful Gerald Taylor SynerJ wing, but optimized for the needs of this kind of competition - low level thermalling in small weak thermals. It is also tuned to give an exceptional speed range at lower wing loadings. The Vinco wing is designed around a wing loading of 13-14 g/dm2. With such a low wing loading, the Vinco can penetrate through the wind and move around the field with ease, letting you catch all those small thermal bubbles and get away efficiently from a low launch.
The Vinco is produced by Spain�s leading manufacturer of hand launched gliders, so DLG technology is used throughout the construction. The model is built to be as light as possible, using the very best high tech spread carbon to achieve a structure and flying weight not possible only a year ago. The 175 cm long one piece carbon fuselage weighs approx 120 g. Its long nose and large canopy hatch give good access to the flight battery and allow for easy powertrain and RC installation. The rudder and elevator servos are mounted in front of the wing for low inertia, utilising control surfaces operated by lightweight pull-pull cords. The wires are already installed and connected to carefully engineered bell cranks, which actuate pushrods operating the tail surfaces accurately, and without any free play.
The fuselage is made using the internal bladder technique and includes all fixtures for assembling the wings and tail straight out of the mould. The all spread carbon tailplane is mounted above the rear fuselage, and the removable fin is attached with a single screw.
All the flying surfaces use solid Rohacell cores. The cores are milled in a CNC machine and covered with a light but strong layer of Carboline biaxial spread carbon. The spars are made of HM (high modulus) unidirectional carbon for maximum rigidity and low weight. Despite being very light the wing has good surface finish. The centre panel incorporates 2� of dihedral and is 180 cm long, providing for larger than usual flaps, which can be deflected 80� or even 90� down, to enable very slow and easily controlled spot landings. Pockets are ready cut for the flap and aileron servos.
The model is supplied with superb wing and tail bags which really help to eliminate transport damage. Also the Vinco fits in one of our {pref,VMB182,182 cm glider bags}. Ballast kits are available and we will stock them in due course.

These servos are designed for 4.8V operation from a 4 cell NiMH battery. Modellers have tested them and they appear fine working from a 1S LiPo battery. But they are NOT okay on a 2S LiPo battery without a voltage regulator to drop the voltage to 6V or lower.
Dream-Flight State: Please note that all torque and speed data are provided at 4.8V. We found that this voltage provides the best servo longevity.

This great servo is strong, powerful and has a very tight geartrain with little or no free play. Featuring low weight, a 7.6 mm thin case and over one kg-cm or torque this is an excellent servo for DLG / HLG / F3K / F3P / 3D EP RC models where the RC is run directly from a 2S LiPo battery.
The 7.6 mm body thinness ensures the {b,Blue Bird BMS-101HV} will fit in very thin wings, making it a great servo for 1m discus launched gliders and small slope soarers. Its light weight, high speed and great precision makes it well suited for F3P and other small aerobatic/3D indoor and outdoor RC models.
The BB BMS101 HV is supplied with four output arms, mounting screws, optional mounting tape, and a fun sticker set. The large arm is 5 cm diameter (2.5 cm largest hole radius) making it excellent for F3P aileron control.
The Blue Bird BMS101HV is in many ways similar to the Ripmax SD100/Dymond D47, and is a good alternative to this servo. Its main benefits over the SD100 and the Dymond D47 are its greater speed, metal geartrain and digital controller, giving it greater holding power and resolution. For applications not using a 2S LiPo battery we recommend the two LV versions of this servo: {Pref, BMS-101DMG, Blue Bird BMS-101DMG} and {Pref, BMS-101AMG, Blue Bird BMS-101AMG}

The hand selected wood in the Andreas kit is beautifully laser cut and is a pleasure to work with. The precut parts extend to the spar, leading edge and D-Box, making assembly quick and straight forward, with a minimum of sanding required. The 8.5% thick airfoil has been specially developed for the F3-RES class to give high launches and a good turn of speed. With a flying weight of 520 g - 580 g (18 oz - 20 oz) the wing loading can be as low as 15 g/dm2 (5 oz/sq ft). Despite the low loading the thin wing profile gives the Andreas excellent penetration, allowing it to be used in even at higher wind speeds.
The kit includes all pushrods, all small parts, a colour full size plan and richly coloured illustrated building instructions. The English translation is {href, http://www.hoellein.com/downloads/pdf-artikel/wreege/andreaselektro_en.txt,here}.
Not included in the kit are adhesives, or RC components. For covering the kit {href, products.asp?search=oracover+oralight,Oralight} is highly recommended.

Designed to be run directly from a 2S LiPo without needing a regulator. At 21mm thick and an impressive 45 kg.cm torque the KST X20-8.4-50MG is appropriate for large models, all fast large gliders and jets requiring considerable torque values. It utilises a 17mm diameter coreless motor to help with such substantial torque outputs.
KST also advise unlike any other servo, the X20 generates no counter EMF in any working conditions. It has an all-new design of circuit board, so your heli flybarless system and receiver will not be interfered with and will not display any weird behavior as a result.
The servo is approx standard size and has an output spline the same as similar Futaba servos, so many compatible output arms are available.

� � ]2� U � F � � � � � � � � Z �� Y�_� � ��b�6 ANDREAS-EAndREaS Elektro RES The {b,AndREaS Elektro RES} is a built-up laser cut balsa and ply electric 2m eSoarer. It is based on the AndREaS which is designed for the new F3-RES high-start launched Rudder-Elevator-Spoiler class now popular in Germany and Austria.
The hand selected wood in the Andreas Elektro kit is beautifully laser cut and is a pleasure to work with. The precut parts extend to the spar, leading edge and D-Box, making assembly quick and straight forward, with a minimum of sanding required. The 8.5% thick airfoil has been specially developed for the F3-RES class to give good thermal ability and a good turn of speed. With a flying weight of approx 550 g (19 oz) the wing loading can be as low as 16 g/dm2 (5 oz/sq ft). Despite the low loading the thin wing profile gives the Andreas excellent penetration, allowing it to be used in even at higher wind speeds.
The kit includes all pushrods, all small parts, a colour full size plan and richly coloured, illustrated, building instructions. The English translation is {href, http://www.hoellein.com/downloads/pdf-artikel/wreege/andreaselektro_en.txt,here}.
Not included in the kit are adhesives, or RC components. For covering the kit {href, products.asp?search=oracover+oralight,Oralight} is highly recommended.

These bags are well constructed with commercial quality fabric and zippers, and usuaully available in red and blue. The 180 cm (71") bag is a perfect choice for 3.5m to 4.5m gliders where the longest wing panel is up to 180 cm long. The bag has three padded compartments and also three smaller pockets for stabs, wing rods or accessories. On the outside an additional lined compartment allows a glider fuselage to be carried externally
These bags pay for themselves in a season by eliminating transportation and storage hangar rash, allowing the model to stay in pristine condition for longer. They also allow more flying as the models can be prepared for flight and put away much more quickly, allowing an extra one or two flights per flying session. Also the fact that the model is enclosed in the bag while in the back of the car reduces the chance of theft.

This new V6 version has the same great specifications as the V5 servo, but is also programmable using a {pref, KST-TOOL2, PC based} or a {pref, KST-TOOL1, press-button} programming tool.
The {b,KST X08H V6} is especially good for ailerons on DLGs, electric racers, and all models with thin flying surfaces. The gearing has been optimised to improve the torque while keeping an excellent speed. The X08-H can be operated from a voltage as low as 3.8V (1S LiPo) or as high as 8.4V (2S LiPo). KST improved its geartrain machining tolerances, and this servo is completely slop free, and equal to products costing twice as much. Despite not having an -MG moniker this servo has metal gears, and is very tough.
The KST X08H's high torque, good speed, and 8mm thinness make it suitable for many high performance glider, pylon racers and EDF applications. With up to 2.8kg.cm torque the KST X08 is appropriate for F3K, F5D, F5J, many types of high performance models. The accessories include three strong nylon output arms, two double sided, and one single sided, one of which is low profile. This means that when the servos are mounted one in front of the other the control rod of the front one won't foul the rear one.
The new V6 version has the same great specificatons as the V5 but allows programing using {href, products.asp?search=KST+Servo+Programming, KST's programming tools}.

This {b,-H} version has standard horizontal mounting lugs making it especially suitable for fuselage, helicopter and other normally mounted applications. The aluminium casing and especially the web between the output shaft bearing and the motor housing creates a very rigid mechanism, minimising compliance. This great servo has no slop (zero free play) and works on 1S and 2S LiPo as well as 4.8V - 6V NiMH batteries. The {i,Bulit-In Safe System} ensures that if the motor shorts out for any reason the driver isolates the motor, allowing the plane to land safely without excess current drain.
The {b,MKS HV6130H} is a low-medium-high voltage servo to replace the acclaimed {pref, MKS-DS6125H, MSK DS6125H}, {pref, MKS-DS6125, MKS DS6125 Glider} and {pref, MKS-DS6125-Mini,MKS DS6125 Mini} servos. It is specially optimised for glider fliers, with outstanding torque, precision and a very low dead band. On a 2S LiPo battery it has higher torque and speed than the DS6125 Mini, DS6125 Glider and even the {pref, MKS-HBL6625-MINI,HBL6625 Mini} servo. At 23 g it is also lighter than all these servos. This very high torque 10 mm thin servo is suitable for many glider, jet, heli and other applications. It has more torque and a better geartrain than all other high voltage servos of this size and price range.
At only 10 mm thick the MKS HV6130-H can easily fit in constrained places, and with an excellent 8.1 kg.cm torque and a blistering 0.10s/60� speed it is excellent for all high performance F3B, F3F, F3J, DS gliders, and F5J electric gliders, helis, jets, ducted fans and fast sport slopers.

The MKS HV75K-N is more powerful, faster, and considerably more robust than the {pref,MKS-DS65K, DS65K}. Its clever inverted motor design makes it very compact, in fact it is nearly as small as the {pref,SD100,SD100} or {pref,SD100,D47} in the vertical and horizontal directions.
The MKS HV75K-N is ideal for F3K, F5D, and all small models that require excellent precision, massive torque, and good speed.

A ���b�I PICARES-LANGOHR Picares Longears F3J/F5J 2.5m� The {b,Picares Longears} (Langohr in its native German) is a stretched and (optionally) electrified version of the PicaRES Evo V2 F3-RES glider. The Picares Longears is a beautiful 2.5 m all CNC cut balsa wood kit that builds fast and flies superbly. The extended mid wing panels on this version can be built either with or without ailerons. So the model can be constructed with rudder-elevator-spoiler, or rudder-elevator-aileron or even rudder-elevator-aileron-spoiler control surfaces depending upon the preference of the builder.
The detailed full size plans include isometric drawings of some details and scale drawings of all the CNC balsa sheets, to make finding the parts easy. The plans include info on converting the model to electric power and on fitting a V tail rather than the Drela-inspired tail surfaces.
The model is well thought out with very nice detail design that does not add unneeded complexity. The parts are beautifully cut from well chosen balsa and ply, and fit together like a jigsaw.
The very complete accessories supplied include magnets, clevises, hinges, horns, and a firewall for the electric conversion. The kit has all the components for the airplane to be built as a glider or as an electric model. The well illustrated manual is in German and can be understood with the help of Google Translate.

� � � � � n\� � � � � � � � @ m� ] |� c � ���b�J STILETTO-HOT Stiletto Hot Slope Racer 1.2m� The {b,Stiletto Hot} is a nicely designed and superbly constructed 1.2 m all molded slope soarer / discus launched glider. It has a wing with less dihedral than the {i,Lift} version, making it better when flying at speed and improving its aerobatic performance. It is a very convenient size - large enough to give nearly the same performance as a 1.5m (60") model but able to be transported and stored more easily.
The Stiletto Hot has a goods speed range, is easy to fly, and has excellent performance or its size. It can be tip thrown like all DLGs or even bungee launched. It is equally happy on a slope as on the flat. We also sell the {pref, STILETTO-LIFT, Stiletto Lift} which is the same model with more dihedral, making it better for thermal hunting.
The fuselage is a generous carbon molding with as good sized hatch for easy installation of the RC. It is recommended that all four servos are installed in the pod, to eliminate the need for noseweight. The fuselage is a one piece design
The flying surfaces are all solid core molded, with workmanship of the highest standard. The fin is glass over foam, with carbon reinforcements. The fin incorporates a tubular front part, to mate with the fuselage tailboom, for easy and accurate construction. The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) is of similar construction to the fin, and is mounted on a short pylon above the tailboom. The wing especially is wonderfully made, with a high gloss finish and attractive very visible colour schemes. The supplied accessories include a throwing blade, all control horns, and pushrods.
Although a ballast system is not included space under the wing is vacant and will a little ingenuity substantial lead could be mounted to incease the flying speed and wind speed range the model can cope with.
Some of the photos show the Stiletto {b,Lift} - the Stiletto {b,Hot} is identical except for reduced wing dihedral.
We just stock the spread carbon layup two piece wing Stiletto. This layup is lighter and more rigid. The wing separation only adds a few grams to the weight and makes the Stiletto a great holiday model.

ARESTI-275$Aresti 2.75m Big Air Slope Aerobatic� The {b,Aresti 2.75m (108") is a Big Air Aerobatic Slope Soarer} par excellence. This model is BIG, much larger than the span would suggest, and has an amazing presence in the air. It is a scaled up and reimagined version of Dr. James Hammond's Aresti 2m favourite. James has been developing and refining his growing portfolio of designs which have gained him a worldwide following for their wide-ranging flying ability and sweet handling, and now we are very happy to stock the latest result of this R&D.
The new thoroughbred �Big Air� Aresti is a 2.75m (108�) aerobatic sailplane that has exceeded expectations throughout the entire design and flight envelope. Although it�s a large sailplane, its pretty light so the Aresti 2.75m / 108" will fly anything from the merest whiff to howling gale, and with its large ballast capacity of course it can handle both situations very well.
It is big and impressive on the ground, and majestic in the air with a wide ranging yet very forgiving flight envelope � the big Aresti 275 is an ideal combination to make you look so good from arrival at the slope with your monster sailplane to departure after some stunning flying!
{b,Overall design}
James has an eye for a pretty design, but looks are not everything. As usual he has set out a set of strict design goals, based on the work the plane has to do, then he has drawn up a skeleton that will fulfill those goals but needless to say its ugly. Then he curved and tweaked it - always keeping a good eye on the performance requirements, and with some time and not a little effort has made it look good.
Like any well-designed thoroughbred sailplane, the Aresti 108 is easy to fly. At a not too big, not too small 2.75m or 108 in span, it has an optimized wing plan form and completely new wind tunnel tested aerofoils. The layout of the wings and fuselage has ample room to allow plenty of ballast in the fuse and optional ballast in the wings too, plus you can use any radio installation that is practical. There is a great truism: �If it looks right, it will fly right�� this is backed up 100% with the big Aresti.
{b,Aerofoils }
The profiles used are the latest development from James�s highly successful original aerofoil designs, and as he says �these are the good sections he kept back for us!� To quote James: �It took a while to get there, and a huge amount of testing. Originally designed as F3X type tailplane aerofoils the sections were refined to provide for maximum control response with minimum deflection, and therefore drag; so the tradeoff was the infinitesimal increase in drag offset by the increased control response for less deflection. At 10%, the fully symmetrical double cusped (Undercamber AND �Overcamber�) section is thick enough to give good aerobatic response yet still carries a good ballast load and lightly loaded works well in sketchy air.
{b,Wings }
The optimized sections will let you go from gut busting aerobatics, through big air, graceful maneuvers down to really slow landing speeds with the flaps down. Large ailerons, large flaps and a semi elliptical wing plan form each add to the overall performance of the sailplane. We are stockg the carbon/glass hybrid lay-up version. Horns are factory fitted with well thought out geometry to allow flush servo installation using almost any servos, making a huge range of servos possible. Using conventional linkages, it�s easy to get a clean, practical and most importantly serviceable wing installation optimized to use full servo travel to give high torque and low slop. Ballast tubes in the wing add to the flexibility.
{b,Aeroic Sine Wave Spar}
Used in several military aircraft, the Aeroic Sine Wave Spar has been adapted for the first time to make up the heart of a model sailplane wing, and has frankly amazed us with its low weight, and ultra-high strength. Unlike a conventional spar the Sine Wave Spar adds terrific torsional strength and yet actually weighs considerably less than the older non-optimized spar. Now used in all Aeroic sailplanes, the Aeroic Sine Wave Spar is a lighter and far stronger upgrade that raises the technology level yet another notch and could be a game changer in model sailplane technology.
{b,Fuselage}
The beautifully curved fuse is massive, deep, and balanced front to back to give the side area required for some aerobatic maneuvers. Yet it�s strong, light, and stiff with Carbon/Kevlar reinforcement and gives that all important resilience in the boom. Electronics area is 2.4 GHz friendly with access to the radio and ballast through a conventional slide-on hatch type canopy. The long nose area accentuates the pretty lines but also provides plenty of space to easily balance the model without resorting to shoehorning lead in every nook and cranny! Snakes, or rear mounted direct servos can be used for Rudder/Elevator control. These are all positioned to take the �head scratching� out of installing the radio gear and to allow the use of standard 19/20mm round ballast slugs, 8 of them if you need them, which added to the optional ballast in the wings allows more than 1.5kg capability!
The rudder is designed large enough to be effective for both aerobatics and slow landing speeds. Wing stub fairings with location dowel holes finish the fuselage with green Multiplex connectors to connect the electronics pre-routed.
{b,Tailplane }
The aerofoils were specifically designed for the tailplane and this time for maximum control response with minimum deflection. At 10%, the tail sailplane section is thicker than is the norm but the infinitesimal increase in drag is easily offset by the increased control response for less deflection. To further increase the efficiency, pitch control is accomplished by using an elevator. No wobbly all moving tail and the elevator is driven by either an optional ball raced bell crank from a servo in the fuse, or where ultimate control is required, a servo can be placed in a hatch through the fin to give solid elevator control. The tails remain removable for convenient transport or storage.
{b,Joiner }
The Aresti 2.75 has a large impressive joiner! Made from UHM UD carbon, massive is the only way to describe this part. The 40 x 20mm section and at over half a metre long this joiner can and can easily light acro DS.
{b,Production }
The Aresti 108 has been designed with far greater capability potential than any aerobatic slope model that we know of. This, coupled with the fact that the pre-production models underwent thorough testing, not only in flying performance, but also in making the installation straightforward and practical, leads to a sailplane that is a snip to fit out, and flies like the true thoroughbred it is. To make life a bit easier, Aeroic includes a full wiring harness as well as the complete linkage, CNC-cut radio tray and accessory package with this model.

� � 2 � � ' � � � � � � � � Z s� � c � * ��`�\ EL-NINO El Ni�o 3.9m� {b,El Ni�o F5J} is the latest and greatest 4m F5J plane to alight on planet HyperFlight. It is an extraordinary tour-de-force by the designer and manufacturer Alex Hoekstra. Informed by DLG build techniques the structure is exquisitely light, the surface finish is excellent and the aerodynamic detail design is exceptionally good. The F5J design requirements were modelled using XFLR5 and it was found that a model with a very high aspect ratio of 21.5 matched to a low 1000 g weight gave the best combination of small thermal climb performance and a good speed range. To achieve performance at these very low Reynolds Numbers a family of 11 specially optimised ultra thin airfoils were developed. Good handling was assured by incorporating a little washout. This has the added benefit of eliminating tip stalls in the bumpy thermals often found low down.
The phrase flies like big discus launched glider is rather overused and under attained. El Ni�o really achieves this goal, with the model clearly indicating the tiniest air currents and almost responding to your thoughts, rather than ploughing though the ether and lagging control inputs like a heavier and less nimble model. The excellent performance and lovely handling will allow audaciously low F5J starts to be made with confidence, and will enable a sport flier to outsoar the best.
The El Ni�o fuselage is a very streamlined, tadpole like shape, with a tiny bulge at the front to accommodate the motor and batteries progressing into a very slim boom. The fuselage front has the motor firewall molded in place. This needs to be reinforced with a 2 mm glass or carbon fibre firewall. The 19 cm glass fibre canopy hatch is securely fastened by carbon pegs to the front and rear. Removing it reveals fairly constricted opening with a maximum width of 28 mm. Fitting the powertrain, battery and RC will require careful planning. The nose is quite short so a slightly heavier powertrain and battery may be required to achieve the required centre of gravity. Simple and strong 3 mm OD carbon tube pushrods are ready fitted, changing to 1 mm wire at the rear, providing a conventional and slop free linkage to the elevator and rudder. The fuselage in front of the wing is made from glass fibre coloured black, so it is 2.4 GHz friendly to help with the RC installation, further back it changes to carbon fibre for maximum stiffness. The wing is mounted on a very slim and low drag pylon, to minimise the interference drag caused by the two bodies meeting. Similarly the tailplane is mounted on a small pylon, which is again nicely faired into the rear fuselage boom. The fin and rudder slide onto a spigot molded at the end of the boom. The fit of these parts is brilliant and perfect alignment is assured. The exceptionally light 17 g fin/rudder assembly only requires the rudder horn to be fitted to complete it.
The tailplane is of Rohacell/Carboweave spread carbon construction with a superb finish despite its 24 g weight.
The wing is of hollow molded construction, rather than using solid foam cores, as the manufacturer believes this is the only way to avoid the surface finish deteriorating due to the underlying foam bubble structure slowly deforming the surface. The front part of the wing incorporates a Dbox to improve the torsional rigidity despite the airfoil's 5.2% thinness.
We currently have two wing layups in stock:
{b,Light} - this wing layup uses 40 g/m2 Carboweave veil type spread carbon everywhere.
{b,Strong} - this wing layup uses a 60 g/m2 Carboweave veil type spread carbon on centre paerl and 40 g/m2 on the tip panels.
El Nino comes with all linkage and other items required for completion, apart from the RC and powertrain. A ballast tube is supplied capable of taking up to 280 g of lead, but this much is hardly ever required. Ballast slugs can be easily constructed by the modeller from fishing weights threaded onto a 1 mm wire.
The main things that separates El Ni�o from the competition is the low weight, the high aspect ratio nearly 4 m wing, the excellent aerodynamic design and the beautiful finish.

���b�^ KST-MS3258KST MS325 HV Hall Effect Servo - 5.2Kg.cm 0.07s 21g 12mmk The new {b,KST MS325} is a breakthrough servo. high reliability servo that uses Hall effect (magnetic) position sensoring to do away with the unreliable and limited life potentiometer (pot) that has been a thorn in the side of RC models until now. This advanced KST developed technology has the potential to revolutionise the RC servo industry, with servos no longer the least reliable part of the RC control system. This increased reliability will make these servos the preferred choice for all high value/high energy models, and for the UAV industry.
The {b,KST MS320} has a good 5.2 Kg.cm torque with a really good 0.07 sec/60� rotation speed. This makes it particularly suitable for cyclic on Goblin 380, Trex 450 and larger helis, and control surfaces of large fast models up to 6 Kg in weight.
In addition to the contactless/magnetic position sensor, these high voltage (2S LiPo capable) servos use zero slop hardened steel gears, aluminium alloy cases, and well designed electronics to deliver the best performance at this size and price point. The combination of no free play in the geartrain and the � 100� rotation range gives these servos the best resolution of any on the market.

#The {b,Osprey 3000 REF & Full House Electric} is a great new 3m glider.
#We have this model in Rudder-Elevator-Flap (REF) and Rudder-Elevator-Flap-Aileron (full house) versions.
See the glider version info below for more info.
The {b,Osprey 3000 RES} is a beautiful new 3 m glider which is a delight to look at and a joy to fly. Its excellent aerodynamics make it a stable and easy to fly model with impeccable thermal performance, and a surprisingly good speed range.
Like its predecessor the Circle Dancer 3000 this models is a beautifully constructed balsa and carbon almost ready to fly version of the venerable Bubble Dancer by Dr Mark Drela. The {i,RES} appellation indicates that this version is controlled using Rudder/Elevator/Spoiler controls. The wing has generous dihedral and a large central spoiler fitted, keeping to the intent of the Drela design. The Osprey 3000 RES has beautifully built wing with a substantial carbon spar and carbon DBox, making it rigid and strong enough for a sensible winch launch.
The fine fuselage consists of a lightweight Kevlar, glass, and carbon pod molding with a small pylon for mounting the wing above the fuselage, to reduce interference drag. The fuselage nose incorporates a large (18 cm long) hatch to allow easy access to the battery, receiver, rudder and elevator servos. The hatch is very nicely molded from carbon fibre and incorporates a positive attachment system. The fuselage has a molded carbon tailboom incorporating a small pylon for the tailplane/horizontal stabiliser. The pushrod outers are bonded in place, and all the tail pushrod hardware is supplied.
The tailplane is a feather weight built-up balsa and carbon construction, covered with lightweight transparent film and is supplied ready to bolt onto the rear pylon mount. The tailplane includes a ready hinged elevator for faster pitch response.
The Osprey 3000 RES wing is expertly constructed from balsa and carbon, with beautifully applied transparent film covering, in contrasting colours. The centre panel incorporates a large spoiler to give good approach control. The centre and mid panels include carbon Dbox structural elements which considerably strengthen and stiffen the wing, allowing the model to be flown at higher speed and in windier conditions. The standard of construction is excellent, and the prefabrication is very complete. The only things left to do are gluing the tailboom to the pod, installing the control surface control horns, fabricating linkages for the spoiler, and fitting the RC, battery and towhook.

RESOLUTION-V2RES-olution V2w The {b,RES-olution V2} F3-RES model is very well regarded quick building easy to fly 2m glider laser cut balsa and carbon glider kit. Being a development of the well regarded Climaxx design the RES-olution V2 makes a very good entry into the F3-RES class. It is equally at home on a small field as at a big competition. Its robust structure features approx 10mm tubular carbon spars which ensures it copes better with the rough and tumble of club flying, and allows it to excel in windier conditions than the other lighter models we sell.
The hand selected wood in the RES-olution V2 kit is beautifully laser cut and is a pleasure to work with. All the balsa and ply wood parts are precut making assembly quick and straight forward, with a minimum of sanding required. With a flying weight of approx 590 g (21 oz) the wing loading can be as low as 17 g/dm2 (5.7 oz/sq ft). Despite the low loading the Selig S7012 wing profile gives the RES-olution good penetration, allowing it to be used at higher wind speeds.
The kit includes all pushrods, all small parts, a colour full size plan and richly coloured, illustrated, building instructions (in German). Not included in the kit are adhesives, or RC components. For covering Oralight is highly recommended.

Do not reorder\ n� \ү�� `��`�Y RESOLUTION-ELEKTRO"RES-olution Elektro - Discontinued The {b,RES-olution Elektro} is the electric version of the RES-olution V2 F3-RES model, and like the glider it is a quick building easy to fly laser cut balsa and carbon glider kit. Developed from the well regarded Climaxx design the RES-olution Elektro makes a very good entry level 2m eletric RES model. Its robust structure features approx 10mm tubular carbon spars which ensures it copes better with the rough and tumble of club flying, and allows it to excel in windier conditions than the other lighter models we sell.
The hand selected wood in the RES-olution Elektro kit is beautifully laser cut and is a pleasure to work with. All the balsa and ply wood parts are precut making assembly quick and straight forward, with a minimum of sanding required. With a flying weight of approx 700 g (24.7 oz) the wing loading can be as low as 21 g/dm2 (6.7 oz/sq ft). Despite the low loading the Selig S7012 wing profile gives the RES-olution good penetration, allowing it to be used at higher wind speeds.
The kit includes all pushrods, all small parts, a colour full size plan and richly coloured, illustrated, building instructions (in German). Not included in the kit are adhesives, or RC components. For covering Oralight is highly recommended.
{bullet}
Laser cut all-wood construction with self jigging weight-optimized parts.
Two-piece wing with multiple panel breaks and pre-carved wingtips.
Carbon tubular spar for easy construction and good strength.
Front riblets to reduce covering sag and increase laminar flow over the wing.
Two powerful spoilers give an excellent braking effect and accurate landings.
Ample room for a 28mm diamter direct drive outrunner motor for economic power options.
Colour plan and extensively illustrated, with detailed building instructions (in German).

The {b,Fresh F3-RES} is a highly regarded F3-RES model that flies excellently and builds comparatively quickly. The big benefits of this model are its carbon tubular spars and carbon tailboom for lighter weight, and lower fuselage drag.
The design is simple, functional and robust. The model combines a very good glide angle with excellent thermal performance and good-natured handling. Although the {b,Fresh} was designed to win F3-RES competitions it also makes an excellent sport model. The model comes with two fuselage front formers, alowing it to be built as a pure glder or an electric glider. The electric version is designed for 30 mm spinners and the max internal motor diameter is about 25 mm.
Like all the F3-RES models we sell this is a very complete builder's kit made from top quality hand selected balsa, ply and carbon fibre tubes. The kit includes all wood, all small parts, and an excellent full scale plan.

� ���b�[ KST-MS320;KST MS320 V2 HV Hall Effect Servo - 6.2Kg.cm 0.07s 21g 12mm6
The new {b,KST MS320} is a revolutionary high reliability servo that uses Hall effect (magnetic) position sensoring to do away with the unreliable and limited life potentiometer (pot) that has been a thorn in the side of RC models until now. It has recenty been upgraded to V2 and is now even better. This advanced KST developed technology has the potential to revolutionise the RC servo industry, with servos no longer the least reliable part of the RC control system. This increased reliability will make these servos the preferred choice for all high value/high energy models, and for the UAV industry.
The {b,KST MS320} V2 has an excellent 6.2 Kg.cm torque with a really good 0.075 sec/60� rotation speed. This makes it particularly suitable for cyclic on 450 and larger helis, and control surfaces of large fast models up to 10 Kg in weight.
In addition to the contactless/magnetic position sensors KST MS 320 V2 high voltage (2S LiPo capable) servos use zero slop hardened steel gears, aluminium alloy cases, and well designed electronics to deliver the best performance at this size and price point. The combination of no free play in the geartrain and the � 100� rotation range gives these servos the best resolution of any on the market.
As the KST MS320 has better specifications than the KST MS325 we consider the MS325 to be superceded by the MS320.

The {b,Mad-RES} is a second generation F3-RES design. As a further development of the RES-ONE it is one of the lightest and quickest to build F3-RES models available. The wing is a solid CNC cut molding from ultra lightweight hand picked solid balsa resulting in a very accurate ultra-thin profile with no covering sag. The wing structure including the carbon spar can be assembled in approx 1.5 hrs with practice! The wing breaks down into three pieces for travelling and storage, the flat centre panel and two tip panels. The tailplane can be easily removed, making this model convenient to transport.
<img src="extras/madres-profil-600.jpg" alt="MadRES wing section">
The GT Synergy Modified airfoil profiles make the best of the ultra thin wing giving a very good glide angle and a wider speed range. Due to the wing design and low weight the MadRES excels at finding lift and climbing out in weak thermals.
The design and material selection was deliberately designed for extremely light weight, allowing the prototype to be built to the sensational mass of 278 g. The production models were redesigned to be a little stronger and better able to withstand the rough and tumble of competition flying and weight around 320 g to 360 g ready to fly. The model can also be built as an electric glider with a flying weight of 370 g to 420 g, using a slim motor like a geared Hacker A10-7L.

An {b,Integrated Drive System} or IDS is a largely or completely internal linkage between an aileron or flap and its servo. It is different from a normal wire based linkage in using much stiffer components, resulting in a more rigidly connected control surface, with much less compliance.
These frames and IDS linkages speed-up servo installation, keep the servo secure and rigidly mounted, and also allow easy removal for maintenance or replacement. The external bearing reduces side load at the servo output arm, reducing compliance and extending the life of the servo. The external bearing and the special rigid IDS connecting piece reduces any free play, increasing the stiffness of the control surface, improving control and avoiding flutter problems.
The connection between the servo and control surface is made via a hard plastic pushrod, so no cutting or gluing is required, making for a quicker and more repeatable installation. 11 of these mono pushrods are supplied in each kit, varying in length between 61 mm and 80 mm, each approx 1.7 mm longer than the next. These new IDS sets are labelled "Mono" as the pushrod is a monolithic component, not an assembly of parts that can come apart.
Parts supplied for a single Mono IDS:
1 servo frame with 2 clamping part s
1 ball bearing
11 plastic IDS pushrods - range between 61mm and 80mm length
4 servo arms of different lengths

� ) � � � � � � � � � � 2 e� �� c-s� z ���b�b INSIDEF5JInside F5J 2.9m� The {b,Inside F5J} is a lovely built up laser cut balsa, ply, and carbon kit for competitive F5J flying without breaking the bank. The Inside F5J has been developed from the Introduction F5J with the major changes being improved structure giving a lower weight, six servo wings with outer ailerons, inner ailerons, and flaps and reduced dihedral to give more precise control in windier flying conditions. The reason for the three control surfaces in each wing half is to keep each control surface structure reasonably short so that it does not deform and twist under load, even when using all balsa construction
The Inside F5J is extremely good-natured in climb, in thermals and when landing. It has a good speed range through the use of the AG35mod profile with outstanding cruise and thermal characteristics. Its good control response allows accurate positioning in a thermal and allows the thermal to be tracked easily as it drifts downwind, giving great climbs. The fully articulated wing allows the camber to be decreased when increased speed is required when returning to the field from far downwind.
The 2866 mm (113 in) easy build wing with full camber control and a flying weight from 1100 g makes the {b,Inside-F5J} an ideal model for an aeromodeller looking for a high performance F5J plane without breaking the bank. The recommended Hacker A20-22 brushless motor, a 3-cell LiPo with 900mAh - 1300mAh capacity and an Aeronaut CamCarbon 11x6 prop gives many climbs to thermal altitudes. Due to the low flying weight 5s -10s motor runs per climb are usually sufficient.
The central design feature of the wings is the carbon fiber tube, onto which the laser-cut ribs are threaded. Stylish wingtips ensure an elegant surface finish. The balsa fuselage is reinforced in the front area with light plywood. A milled firewall is already prepared for the Hacker A20-22L evo. Apart from the laser-cut components, the kit also includes CFRP spars, GRP nose strips, as well as control rods and small parts. An excellent full scale full colour plan and a richly illustrated German construction manual is supplied.

This servo is strong, powerful and has a very tight geartrain with little or no free play. Featuring low weight, a 7.6 mm thin case and one kg-cm or torque this is an excellent servo for DLG / HLG / F3K / F3P / 3D EP RC models.
The 7.6 mm body thinness ensures the {b,Blue Bird BMS-101AMG} will fit in very thin wings, making it a great servo for 1m discus launched gliders and small slope soarers. Its light weight, high speed and great precision makes it well suited for F3P and other small aerobatic/3D indoor and outdoor RC models.
The BB BMS101 AMG is supplied with four output arms, mounting screws, optional mounting tape, and a fun sticker set. The large arm is 5 cm diameter (2.5 cm largest hole radius) making it excellent for F3P aileron control.
The Blue Bird BMS10AMG is in many ways similar to the Ripmax SD100, and is a good alternative to this servo for those using NiMH batteries or 1S LiPo batteries. Its main benefits over the SD100 and the Dymond D47 are its metal geartrain giving it greater toughness. For applications a 2S LiPo battery we recommend the HV version of this servo: {Pref, BMS-101HV, Blue Bird BMS-101HV}.

SAMBA-RES-EVOSamba RES Evo 2m� The {b,Samba RES Evo} the most sophisticated version of the well liked Samba RES F3-RES high-start launched glider. Like the previous model it is beautifully cut from the best quality balsa and ply, however this version can be built to a weight of approx 420 g, giving a very low wing loading an even better duration and light lift capabilities.
The fuselage uses a nicely shaped balsa pod with a carbon tube boom to minimise weight and wetted area. The wing has a partially sheeted Dbox wing as the best compromise between low weight and torsional strength. The small Dbox cut outs are designed to avoid any airfoil discontinuities and so retain laminar flow and minimise drag. The wing also utilises a carbon spar to achieve such a light weight.
The {b,Samba RES Evo} comes with all hardware and a superb full size plan and build manual (in German). An excellent English build manual can also be downloaded from {href,http://www.cad2cnc.ch/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Samba-RES-manual_English1.pdf, here}.
Due to the clear photos and well thought out design the model can be easily assembled by any modeller with a little experience. The holes in the Dbox centre panel shown in some of the photos are of a development model and have been removed from the production version to improve strength and rigidity.

It is an excellent stepping stone to 1.5m DLGs from entry level models. In addition to making a great flat field flier the Flipper makes a very good small slope soarer, with great agility and a good speed range.
The fuselage is a nice carbon molding with a large pod and a big hatch for easy installation of the RC. It is recommended that all four servos are installed in the pod, to eliminate the need for noseweight. The fuselage is a one piece design
The flying surfaces are all spread carbon over solid core molded foam, with excellent workmanship. The fin is lightweight SC over foam structure and incorporates a tubular front part, to mate with the fuselage tailboom, for easy and accurate construction. The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) is of similar construction to the fin, and is mounted on a short pylon above the tailboom. The wing is very well made, with a strong yet lightweight spread carbon skin with a high gloss finish and attractive very visible colour schemes. The supplied accessories include a throwing blade, all control horns, and pushrods.

l �� Steel c!�=� �� �b� SPINNER-GRUB%Grub Screws for all HyperSpinners (2)F One pair (2) of grub screws for all sizes of HyperSpinner.
This is the tiny hex end screw that fixes the spinner to the gearbox output shaft. In our opinion only one screw is required, to give one point and one surface clamping action. Two grub screws result in two point clamps, which may be less effective.
We recommend filing or cutting a flat in the gearbox shaft for the grub screw to engage in. This eliminates the possibility of the prop flying off forwards if it becomes a little loose, and keys the spinner to the prop shaft, to ensure it does not slip in rotation.

Steel c��� ���b� VITA9X6 Vitaprop 9x6 Folding prop blades` A pair of high quality {b,Vitaprop 9 x 6 folding propeller blades}, suitable for HyperFlight's and other makes of folding prop yokes and spinners.
These blades are very high quality carbon moldings with an excellent aerodynamic design to maximise efficiency. They will tend to pull a little less current than cheaper folding propellers. They are designed for very high power levels and the blade root is reinforced with an aluminium bearing to ensure good folding, reduce wear, and maximise strength.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.
{blade, Vitaprop, 9,6,8.2,1000} Note this prop needs a wider than normal yoke/hub to allow the blades to fold fiully.

The sophisticated design and the brilliant use of weight-optimized materials allows a flying weight of 430g and thus a wing loading of only around 11 g/dm2 (3.7 oz/sq ft) out of the box, giving amazing performance.
The large 2-part spoilers allow almost vertical descents without an increase in speed. The wing separates into three panels and the tailplane is removable making the model very easy to transport.
The CNC cut kit has very simple and robust construction. With the exception of the 6 mm CFRP rods for the wing and the GRP rocker for the moving tailplane only selected and optimized balsa and plywood are used.
All components are bonded with easily available glue and the model's construction is simple, considering the excellent performance potential. The design allows the use of commercially available and easily obtainable components.
The kit includes a colour plan and comprehensive instructions. An English translation is included/available.

These blades are very high quality carbon moldings with an excellent aerodynamic design to maximise efficiency. They will tend to pull a little less current than cheaper folding propellers. They are designed for very high power levels and the blade root is reinforced with an aluminium bearing to ensure good folding, reduce wear, and maximise strength.

� � 2� � � � � � � � � � 2 g i� cO�� ���b� SPRITE-BALLAST-SETSprite Ballast Set0 This ballast set is designed for the Sprite Hot and Thermal, but also works well for any model needing a physically flexible ballast system. Adding ballast improves performance when the wind and/or lift is strong. Ballast allows the model to be flown fast without loosing as much height as it if it was just dived.
The Sprite ballast is assembled on a slightly flexible wire, which makes it possible to fit the ballast in more constrained places. This makes it especially suitable for F5J models.
The set includes:
4 pcs brass ballast slugs with a diameter of 16 mm and the length of 50 mm
2 pcs brass ballast slugs with a diameter of 18 mm and the length of 50 mm
1 pc noncorrosive wire for fastening of the slugs
Screws for fixing of ballast in the fuselage
The weight when using all slugs is 534 g (18.8 oz). However by the weight can be varied from approx 100 g up to 534 g by adjusting the number of slugs used. The position of the slugs can be set to leave the centre of gravity in its unballasted postion, or moved, as required. See the PDF file.

It has normal mounting lugs making ideal for mounting in a fuselage. With only lighly less torque than the larger MKS HV6130H it is excellent value for money. The {b,KST X10-710 V8} has a hardened steel drive train and a coreless motor capable of running all the way from 4.8V to 8.4V (4S NiMH to 2S LiPo) making these servos ideal for electric powered models (most ESCs output 5.5V) as well as most gliders.
Supplied accessories include two strong red nylon output arms, and three normal strength white nylon output arms.

It is especially good for ailerons on F5J gliders, electric racers, and all models with thin flying surfaces. Despite being only 8 mm thick the powerful coreless DC motor and gearing provide good torque and high speed. The X08 Plus can be operated from a voltage as low as 3.8V (1S LiPo) or as high as 8.4V (2S LiPo). KST servos have excellent geartrain machining tolerances, and this servo is completely slop free, and equal to products costing twice as much. Despite not having an -MG moniker this servo has metal gears, and is very tough.
The KST X08 Plus's high torque, good speed, and 8mm thinness make it suitable for many high performance glider, pylon racers and EDF applications. With up to 5.3 kg.cm torque the KST X08 is appropriate for F5J, F5D, F3J and many types of high performance models.

Indicative performance info with a 15 second max motor run only.N cH� ��`� RES-DARTRES Dart Flying Wing 2m� The {b,RES Dart} is a superb 2m flying wing that incorporates very advanced aerodynamics to provide astounding performance. The RES-Dart is unusually stable for a flying wing, has good thermal performance and a wide speed range. The model impresses with its balanced flight characteristics, the enormous performance potential and the extraordinary manoeuvrability (see following video). The large 2 piece spoilers enable steep descents, allowing safe exits from thermals and accurate landings. The wing is two part and the winglets can be detachable, making for a very transportable model. Like our other F3-RES models this is a high quality build-it-yourself kit constructed from hand selected CNC cut balsa and plywood
RES-Dart is a flying wing which complies with the German F3-RES regulations and can be used in these competitions - in fact it has been specially designed to be competitive in these events. The wing profile has been optimised to give a very high launch while at the same time being easy to build. The thickness of approx. 9.5% allows for a lightweight structure and provides good torsional strength. The contour of the profile is only curved in the region of the front Dbox. To the rear of this, similar to the AG35, planar facets prevent covering sag between the ribs and thus ensure an accurate section is maintained. The wing geometry and sweep have been practically tested and flown many times while optimising the model's structure and aerodynamics. One important design goal was good launching. The flight test showed a smooth launch behaviour and very competitive launch heights. Thanks to its wing profile, low surface load and DSA winglets, the RES-Dart has extremely good-natured flying characteristics, which enable practiced pilots to crank up the RES-Dart into the tightest thermal turn and sometimes even get away from a hand launch.
The winglet mount incorporates a Druck-Sog-Ableitung (DSA) tube. DSA means {i,pressure-suction discharge} and improves the flow conditions in the wing-winglet transition area. This is a major cause of the very good-natured behaviour and the controllability in slow flight. The DSA tube was originally a light carbon fibre tube but this was decreed to exceed the limited amount of carbon fibre allowed in the German version of the F3-RES rules. Consequently the model is offered with a carbon or a plywood tube which is nearly as light and complies with all interpretations of the rules.

RES-DART-ERES Dart Electric 2mN The {b,RES Dart Electric} is a superb 2m flying wing that incorporates very advanced aerodynamics to provide astounding performance. The RES-Dart is unusually stable for a flying wing and has good thermal performance, and a wide speed range. This electric version uses a small tractor propeller to avoid the hassle of using high starts. The model impresses with its balanced flight characteristics, the enormous performance potential and the extraordinary manoeuvrability (see following video). The large 2 piece spoilers enable steep descents, allowing safe exits from thermals and accurate landings. The wing is two part and the winglets can be detachable, making for a very transportable model. Like our other F3-RES models this is a high quality build-it-yourself kit constructed from CNC and laser cut balsa and plywood.
The wing profile has been optimised to give good performance while at the same time being easy to build. The thickness of approx. 9.5% allows for a lightweight structure and provides good torsional strength. The contour of the profile is only curved in the region of the front Dbox. To the rear of this, similar to the AG35, planar facets prevent covering sag between the ribs and thus ensure an accurate section is maintained. The wing geometry and sweep have been practically tested and flown many times while optimising the model's structure and aerodynamics. Thanks to its wing profile, low surface load and DSA winglets, the RES-Dart Electric has extremely good-natured flying characteristics, which enable practiced pilots to crank up the model into the tightest thermal turn and climb away from very low launches.
The recommended powertrain is a 28 g - 40 g outrunner with a Kv between 1100 RPM/V and 1400 RPM/V, powered by a 400 - 600 mAh 2S or 3S LiPo battery.

These blades are thinner (they have a higher aspect ratio) than normal folding propeller blades, allowing larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. They are also engineered to fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag when folded than other props. See photos 3 and 4 for a visual comparison of GM, RF and Aeronaut props, kindly produced by Andre Jeber Demetrio.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

It is great for allowing 2S LiPo to be safely plugged into modern 2S compatible receivers when HV servos are also being used.
Another benefit/use for this lead is to act as an on/off switch for the RC system. Plug in the battery to fly, and unplug it at the end of the session. No moving parts. Nothing to fail. Minimum weight.
Never attempt to plug a JST BEC plug directly into a receiver as even a momentary incorrect contact will burn out all the servos.

The only difference is updated electronics on the newer version.
The {b,KST X08} is a very light (8 g) low/medium/high voltage metal cased servo. It is especially good for ailerons on discus launched gliders, electric racers, and all models with thin flying surfaces. Despite being only 8 mm thick the powerful coreless DC motor and gearing provide good torque and high speed. The X08 can be operated from a voltage as low as 3.8V (1S LiPo) or as high as 8.4V (2S LiPo). KST servos have excellent geartrain machining tolerances, and this servo is completely slop free, and equal to products costing twice as much. Despite not having an -MG moniker this servo has metal gears, and is very tough.
The KST X08's high torque, good speed, and 8mm thinness make it suitable for many high performance glider, pylon racers and EDF applications. With up to 2.8kg.cm torque the KST X08 is appropriate for F3K, F5D, F5J, many types of high performance models.

� ���b� SPINTHING!Schloiderding V2 "Spinthing" 1.2mL
The {b,Schloiderding V2} (we are calling it {b,Spinthing}) is an elegant CNC cut balsa discus launched glider that can be built quickly, looks beautiful, and has excellent performance. The {b,Schloiderding "Spinthing"} has outstanding flying qualities and is attractive to beginners and experts alike. Thanks to the all flying tailplane the model can be trimmed to any speed range and by altering the CG and trim can be adapted to any personal flying style very quickly and easily. The excellent balsa and carbon construction allows the Spinthing to be built down to a flying weight of about 130 g, thanks to the superb hand picked balsa supplied.
The structure, except for the carbon tail tube, is completely built from wood, and so is very easy to repair. When building the front and rear parts of the wing have to be carved from the supplied balsa parts. To assist in this a clever sanding aid is included in the kit. With this tool sanding the surface to shape is very easy and fast and not at all problematic.
The kit is supplied with the option to build to three different wing spans:
- 100 cm (39") for highest launches and lively handling. This is ideal for slope soaring, especially if the dihedral is reduced or even eliminated.
- 105 cm (41") the standard compromise between snappy handling, high launch and top performance.
- 120 cm (47") for maximum all out and thermal performance (our favourite).
All parts are included in the kit including pull-spring control runs and an excellent plan with all 3 possible wing layouts. The span is determined by shortening the wing front and rear parts by removing material on the inner side (from the centre). Covering (Oralight), glue, etc is needed to build the model.
The kit is straightforward to built but no instructions are supplied. The plans are clear and well annotated (in German) and a great build log can be found {href, http://www.rc-network.de/forum/showthread.php/437242-SchloiderDing-aka-Teaser-DLG_1m?highlight=Schloiderding,here} - use Google Translate.

At 8.4V the BMS-106HV's speed has been increased to a blistering 0.06 seconds per 60� of movement, while still having a great torque of 4.2 kg.cm.
The {b,Blue Bird BMS-106HV} is a great HV servo built to the same space saving form factor as the MKS HV6100. It is similarly precise, with no free play in the geartrain, and it is even more powerful and faster than the competing product. The large output spline is identical to Futaba 25 tooth splines, so replacement output arms are readily available. Note the output spline is not the same as MKS so the servo cannot be used with most MKS accesories.
HyperFlight is pleased to be able to supply the latest version of this excellent and increasingly popular range of servos. Many expert modellers are fitting these servos to the latest ultralight F5J models like the Ultima and the Infinity. The Blue Bird BMS-106HV and BMS-105HV are also increasingly used by pylon racers, and RC heli fliers.

At 8.4V the BMS-107HV's speed has been increased to an amazing 0.04 seconds per 60� of movement, while still giving a torque of 2.7 kg.cm. This makes it exellent for heli tail rotor as well as ailerons and elevator on fast models.
The {b,Blue Bird BMS-107HV} is a great HV servo built to the same space saving form factor as the MKS HV6100. It is similarly precise, with no free play in the geartrain, and it is even more powerful and faster than the competing product. The large output spline is identical to Futaba 25 tooth splines, so replacement output arms are readily available. Note the output spline is not the same as MKS so the servo cannot be used with most MKS accesories.
HyperFlight is pleased to be able to supply the latest version of this excellent and increasingly popular range of servos. Many expert modellers are fitting these servos to the latest ultralight F5J models like the Ultima and the Infinity. The Blue Bird BMS-106HV and BMS-105HV are also increasingly used by pylon racers, and RC heli fliers.

Plus F5J 3.7m {B,SUPPLED WITH FREE PLUS PRO UPGRADE KIT}
The {b,Vladimir's Models Plus F5J} is a revolutionary glider that truly breaks the norms of F5J models. The twin boom and inverted V tail configuration has many benefits. The pusher propeller ensures the flow over the front fuselage remains laminar, reducing the fuselage drag and allows dork type competition spot landings with impunity. The centrally mounted motor minimises inertia, as do the short twin tailbooms and the light inverted V tail. The inverted V tail rudder action works in the same sense as the ailerons, giving into turn roll commands with rudder movement. This will give coordinated rudder/aileron control.
The Plus F5J wing is a masterpiece of aerodynamic and structural design, with new airfoils by Joe Wurts. The wing has a skin of spread carbon over a Rohacel core, and a strong carbon spar with a well engineered shear web, ensuring good strength despite the low weight. The twin tail booms have been superbly faired into the wing by Vladimir, eliminating a possible source of drag in this configuration. The wings has five control surfaces: a flap on the centre panel, flapperons on the mid panels and ailerons on the tip panels. These give superb approach control, allowing the model to be slowed down and spot landed with ease. The airfoils and wing planform were optimized for best thermaling and best wind penetration for an ultralight model, fully taking into account the low Reynolds numbers encountered. Joe Wurts� airfoils allow a wide of flap use from -2 to +7 degrees to achieve maximum climb performance in thermals without compromising glide angle in normal and high speed cruise, ensuring the model can be brought back upwind after drifting a long way back in a thermal.
Inspired tail boom to wing fittings provide light weight and high strength while also simplifying airframe assembly on the field. The Plus F5J takes less than a minute to assemble and requires only two screws. The pull-spring V tail control system is very light, rigid, and guarantees no slop in the control surfaces, ensuring the model returns to the same trim state after up and down elevator commands.
<img src="extras/plus-f5j-wing-003a.jpg" alt="Wing tail boom fittings">
The model is currently just available in a light spread carbon layup. However a ballast system is also available, allowing the model to be used in light and normal conditions.
The {b,Plus F5J} has these unique advantages:
{bullet}
Potentially the best thermaling performance for a model of this size;
Superb L/D at cruise and fast cruise giving excellent wind penetration;
Low fuselage drag with the propeller at the rear;
Rudder movement also gives an appropriate roll command;
Very easy handling;
Ultralight weight;
Compact size for easy transportation.
{endbullet}
All of the Plus F5J models we supply have IDS sets already fitted to the wings, so the two aileron and the three flap servos can just be slotted into place in the custom Servorahmen {href, products.asp?code=SRIDS-MKS-6110,bearing fames}. All our models have {i,Standard} frames for {pref,KST-X08H,KST X08H} aileron servos and {pref,MKS-HV6110,HV6110} flap servos, though other servo options may be ordered. These IDS sets include ready fitted optimised linkages, as shown in the photo below.

<b>Our price includes IDS installation for all the wing servos, the motor drive shaft, motor drive shaft installation, spinner and {pref,PLUS-WING-BAG, Vladimir's excellent wing and tail bags}. These are extra cost items from other dealers.</b> Ballast is not included in the base price, and must be purchased separately, as must be the servos, motor, ESC, receiver etc. Although the cost of the model looks high at first glance, the ability to use a low cost outrunner motor instead of a geared inrunner reduces the RTF cost by about �200 / �230 / $210 making it very reasonable for such an advanced airframe.

These blades are thinner (they have a higher aspect ratio) than normal folding propeller blades, allowing larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. The reduced twist (flatness) also allows them to fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag when folded than other props. The flatness does reduce the efficiency slightly, but this is more than offset by the improved glide. See photos 3 and 4 for a visual comparison of GM, RF and Aeronaut props, kindly produced by Andre Jeber Demetrio.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

� � ! � � "� � � � � � � � 2 �� c'7�� ���b�� ORASTICKOrastick Adhesive 100ml� {b,Orastick} is a liquid form of the adhesive coated onto the back of Oralight and Orafilm covering film. It is useful for ensuring excellent adhesion to very porous or uneven surfaces.
When applying additional heat to remove wrinkles a common problem is that the glue no longer works well as the wood fibres originally adhered to have torn away from the piece being covered. Thus the glue layer can no longer stick the covering to the structure. If Orastick is used before covering the liquid adhesive soaks into wood, gluing loose wood fibres permanently to the surface. This prevents the fibres tearing off under stress and the covering coming loose, which is the usual cause of wrinkles and other problems.
To use brush a thin coat (just 20g/m2) of Orastick onto the wooden structure. Wait for it to dry - it is important to let the adhesive dry thoroughly before covering, to prevent incompletely evaporated solvents from gassing off during ironing, thereby causing bubbles. Then apply the Orafilm or Oralight covering as normal.
If the Orastick has dried out a bit you can restore the original viscosity by adding the Orastick Thinner product.

With a new and highly experienced manufacturer, and continuing technical development of previous designs which have gained him a worldwide following, Dr. James Hammond is very pleased to announce Aeroic�s latest entry into the high-end sports sailplane market; the Stormbird Forza 100�
James specifically designed the now very popular Forza as a more modern, and higher performing replacement for the ever-popular Typhoon � arguably the best selling all�moulded 2M ever, that he designed over a decade ago. Now it has been stretched and optimized into the higher aspect ratio Forza. The proof of the Pudding � chuck it and see. From the very first flight the Forza has surprised us.
Armed and dangerous with its massive carbon joiner and a completely new and higher aspect ratio wing planform, newly smoothed aerofoils, and the game-changing sine wave spar, the new �Doc J� weapon is extremely fast - scary fast some have said - and like all Aeroic thoroughbreds its highly aerobatic but lands like a Gentle Lady. Its faster than its smaller brother in acceleration and top speed, slower in landing mode, and with its lower wing loading can fly in lighter winds than the original model.
Overall design:
James has always had an eye for a cool design � if not color � he admits to being �Chromatically� challenged. The Forza has a highly optimized wing and new and smoothing improved wind tunnel tested aerofoils. The layout has enough room to allow plenty of ballast in the fuse and has ballast tubes in the wings too. The slip on nosecone makes it all easily accessible
Aerofoils:
The sections used are the most developments from James�s highly successful original aerofoil designs: Dial in a millimeter of reflex and see what happens � but don�t forget the replace the battery in your pacemaker first, or drop the flaps to 80 degrees and find you are walking faster than your model.
Wings:
Completely different from the previous design, and made possible by the revolutionary Sine Wave Spar that is now a feature of all Aeroic planes, the optimized and now stretched wing planform has undergone a series of changes throughout the development and testing of the model resulting in the somewhat �radical� shape that we now see.
The reducing thickness, optimally cambered sections will let you go from really slow landing speeds with the flaps down to heart thudding passes with a little reflex, yet despite its ability to carry heavy ballast loads, the airframe will thermal with the best of them. Large ailerons, large flaps and the stretched wing planform each add to the overall performance of the airframe.
Horns are factory fitted with well thought out geometry to allow flush servo installation using 10mm servos for flaps and 8mm servos for the ailerons. Using conventional linkages, you can get a clean, practical and most importantly serviceable wing installation optimized to use full servo travel to give high torque and low slop. Ballast spaces in the wing allow approx 450 g (1lb) of lead to be carried.
Aeroic Sine Wave Spar:
Used in several military aircraft, (Doc J�s designer background) the Sine Wave Spar (SWS) has been adapted for the first time to make up the heart of a model sailplane wing, and has frankly amazed us with its low weight, and ultra high strength. Unlike a conventional �Box� spar the Sine Wave Spar adds terrific torsional stiffness and yet actually weighs considerably less than the older conventional spar types. Now used in all Aeroic airframes, the Sine Wave Spar is lighter and far stronger than �conventional� spars and raises the overall performance level another few notches.
Fuselage:
The slim and curvaceous fuse is strong, light, and stiff with Carbon/Kevlar reinforcement and gives far more strength to the boom than most models. Electronics area is 2.4 GHz friendly with access to the radio and ballast through a slip-on nose cone. The long nose area accentuates the rakish lines but also provides plenty of space to easily balance the model without resorting to shoehorning lead in every available crevice!
Snakes (not supplied) and/or rear mounted direct servos can be used for Rudder/Elevator control. Wing stub fairings with location dowel holes finish the fuselage with recesses for �green� Multiplex type connectors to connect the electronics pre-routed.
Tailplane:
As normal the aerofoils were specifically designed for Aeroic sailplanes and optimized for maximum control response with minimum deflection. At 10%, the tail aerofoil section is thicker than is the norm but the infinitesimal increase in drag is easily offset by the increased control response for less deflection. To further increase the efficiency, pitch control is accomplished by using an elevator not a wobbly all-moving tailplane. The elevator is directly driven by a servo placed in a hatch in the fin to give solid elevator control.
Joiner:
Like all Aeroic planes, the Forza has an impressive joiner. Massive is the only way to describe this part. Measuring 35 x 12mm, the length has also been increased by over 100mm (4�). It�s as big if not bigger than those used in most 3m competition airframes!
Production:
The Stormbird Forza has been designed with far greater capability potential than any average sports model, and this, coupled with the fact that like all Aeroic sailplanes the pre-production models underwent thorough testing, not only in flying performance, but also in making the installation straightforward and practical, leads to an airframe that is a snip to fit out, and flies like the true thoroughbred it is. It is supplied with a wiring harness, plastic servo frames for 10mm thick servos and some control linkage hardware.
Usually available in Standard (glass & carbon) and WMD (lots of carbon) wing layups. The latter is approx 250g heavier than the weight listed below. It was also reported that approx 200g of noseweight is required due to the stronger fuselage.

wmd 820k B� ch � ���b�� SESSANTASessanta 1.5m 60"\ The {b, Sessanta} is a new 1.5m (60") highly aerobatic sports slope soarer from James Hamond. This very pretty model flies as well as it looks, with sweet handling, a great speed envelope and easy landing thanks to its large flaps.
Continuing technical development of previous designs which have gained him a worldwide following, Dr. James Hammond is very pleased to announce the latest entry into the 60-class slope racing sailplane market.
James designed as a modern, sleeker, and higher performing replacement for his first 60 design, the ever-popular Sunbird; one of the best selling all�moulded 60� models ever. Refined in every way and incorporates all of the great things about the original design � and a lot more.
With a single piece wing incorporating completely new and radical wing planform, new aerofoils, new, sleeker and stronger fuselage and the game-changing sine wave spar, the new �Doc J� weapon is extremely quick, yet has all of its older Sunbird brother�s great flying characteristics.
Span: 60� (1.5M)
Length: 38.0� (965mm)
Wing area: 348.75 Sq� (22.5dm/2)
Wing aerofoils: JH3680, JH3675, JH3670
Tailplane aerofoils: JH10SYM
Ballast 3/4� (20mm) round slugs
Controls: Ailerons, Flaps, Elevator, Rudder � � r � � � � � � � � � � � A� k �� cy � ���b�� ARESTI Aresti 2m
The {b, Aresti 2m} is a highly regarded design from slope soaring legend James Hammond. The carbon/glass hybrid Aresti has a good speed range, superb aerobatic handling and is built strong enough for high energy slope aerobatics while also being light enough to be enjoyable in lighter winds.
The Aresti is a great model for pilots wanting to perfect their aerobatic repertoire while also having a superb all round sport model. The Aresti is light so it will fly in almost anything, and with its large ballast capacity and responsive airfoil section it can handle most situations very well.
{b, Overall design}
James set out a set of strict design goals, based on the work the plane has to do; then he drew up a sketch that will fulfil those goals. Then he curved and tweaked it � always keeping a good eye on the performance requirements. It is probably a rather longwinded approach but it works, giving nice looks but with no sacrifice to performance.
The Aresti is easy to fly. It has an optimized wing plan form and completely new wind tunnel tested aerofoils. The layout of the wings and fuselage has ample room to allow plenty of ballast in the fuse and optional ballast in the wings too.
James believes the truism: �If it looks right, it will fly right�� this is backed up 100% with the Aresti series which look great and flies like a dream.
{b, Aerofoils}
Originally designed as F3X type {i, tailplane} aerofoils the sections used on the Aresti were refined to provide for maximum control response with minimum deflection, and therefore drag; so the trade off was the infinitesimal increase in drag offset by the increased control response for less deflection.
At 10%, the fully symmetrical double cusped section is thick enough to give good aerobatic response yes still carry a good ballast load and work well in sketchy air.
{b, Wings}
The optimized sections will let you go from gut busting aerobatics, through big air, graceful manoeuvres down to really slow landing speeds with the flaps down. Large ailerons, large flaps and a semi elliptical wing plan form each add to the overall performance of the sailplane.
The wings are available in to order glass or full carbon lay-up options, though we usually stock the carbon/glass {i, hybrid} version that has the best performance to $$$ ratio. Horns are factory fitted with well thought out geometry to allow flush servo installation using almost any servos, making a huge range of servos possible. Using conventional linkages you can get a clean, practical and most importantly serviceable wing installation optimized to use full servo travel to give high torque and low slop. In addition to the fuselage ballast facility a ballast provision in the wings allow 130 mm length of 12 mm ballast slugs (max weight possible = 260 g) to be installed in the wing roots for even higher wing loading and greater flexibility plus big-air performance.
{b, Aeroic Sine Wave Spar}
Used in several military aircraft, the Sine Wave Spar has been adapted for the first time to make up the heart of a model sailplane wing, and has frankly amazed us with its low weight, and ultra high strength. Unlike a conventional spar the Sine Wave Spar adds terrific torsional strength and yet actually weighs considerably less than the older non-optimized spar. Now used in all ACAP sailplanes, the Sine Wave Spar is a lighter and far stronger upgrade that raises the technology level yet another notch.
{b, Fuselage}
The beautifully contoured fuse is deep, and balanced front to back to give the side area required for some aerobatic manoeuvres. Its strong, light, and stiff with Carbon/Kevlar. Electronics area is 2.4 GHz friendly with access to the radio and ballast through a conventional slide-on hatch type canopy. The long nose area provides plenty of space to easily balance the model without resorting to shoehorning lead in every nook and cranny.
Snakes or rear mounted direct servos can be used for Rudder/Elevator control. These are all positioned to take the �head scratching� out of installing the radio gear and to allow the use of standard 19/20mm round ballast slugs, 10 of them if you need them, which added to the optional ballast in the wings allows more than 1.5kg capability!
The rudder is designed large enough to be effective for both aerobatics and slow landing speeds. Wing stub fairings with location dowel holes finish the fuselage. An added advantage is that it�s extremely easy to convert to electric.
{b, Tailplane}
At 10%, the tail sailplane section is thicker than is the norm but the infinitesimal increase in drag is easily offset by the increased control response for less deflection. To increase the efficiency, pitch control is accomplished by using an elevator. The elevator is driven by either an optional ball raced bell crank from a servo in the fuse, or a servo can be placed in a hatch through the fin to give solid elevator control. The tails remain removable for convenient transport or storage.
{b, Joiner}
Like all of the ACAP airframes, the Aresti has a large joiner. Massive is the only way to describe this part. It�s just over 35 x 12mm and can handle light acro DS.
{b, Production}
The Aresti series has been designed with far greater capability potential than any aerobatic slope model that we know of, but also for simplicity. This approach makes the installation straightforward and practical, leads to a sailplane that is a snip to fit out, and flies like the true thoroughbred it is.
In addition to the supplied ballast tube the kit accessory bag includes the fuselage servo tray, four plastic servo mounting frames (designed to take larger 30 mm x 35 mm wing servos), good quality metal wing clevises and pushrods, and colour coded hatch covers. The fuselage is fitted with two nice carbon pushods. The elevator servo can be fitted in the fin to simplify the installation, or in the front of the fuse to help with the CG. In the later case rthe customer will need to supply a belcrank to operate the all flying tail. In both cases the customer will need to supply the tail linkage hardware. The cut outs in the fuselage servo tray are for servos with a body footprint of 23 mm x 12 mm.

The extra span opens up the performance envelope considerably, allowing the model to stay up in lighter airs and also to fly larger higher energy aerobatics on big air days.
The carbon hybrid layup Schwing 2.3 has a superb speed range, very precise and predictable aerobatic handling, making it probably the best 2.3m sloper currently available. It is built strong enough for high energy slope aerobatics while also being light enough to be enjoyable in lighter winds.

SPINNIN-BIRDYSpinnin' Birdy RE 1m� If you like small balsa gliders then you will love our rudder-elevator {b,Spinnin' Birdy}. Convenient size, low sink speed, and a "built-in" thermal sniffer. This CNC and laser cut balsa and carbon kit is quick to build and flies excellently,
If you are on a slope any no one can fly you are okay with the Spinnin` Birdy! A relaxed twist and this 1m (40") DLG almost vanishes upwards in with straight climb to the heavens. Even in totally dead air flight times of one minute are the rule. A few years ago we only dreamed of performance like this and now anyone can experience it.
Have you always wanted to participate in a discus launched glider competition? But the financial cost was too great? Now you can enter a DLG event and fly with the pros without breaking the bank.
Even if you are not sure you want to make full 360 degree launches you can make 180 degree SAL throws and still get a good height.
Just try it.

This ultralight pod has a light carbon/Kevlar layup. This is quite slim and the electric version requires a 32 mm spinner. Although a 28 mm diameter outrunner (eg Hacker A20-20L) can just be fitted getting the wires to clear the rotating case is problematic. It is easier to fit a 28 mm inrunner (eg Mega 16/15/5), a smaller ourtunner like the {pref,ADH-300L-FM, ADH300L} or a geared inrunner like any of our Powerline range. Note the canopy hatch opening is only 12 cm x 2 cm but it can be opened up to a max of about 13.5 cm x 2.5 cm. A little bending will be required if fitting a motor over this size. Also it is perfectly okay to open it up by a few millimetres by filing or Dremelling away some of the material. This will not appreciably weaken the pod.
Supplied with a removable carbon canopy. The {pref, CARBON-BOOM-22-9,22 mm boom} is not included in the price and should be purchased separately. The {pref,AVA-V-MOUNT,AVA V mount} fits this boom to make a complete Drela type pod-boom-tail mount fuselage.

It has the best quality of construction and aerodynamic design of all the small DLGs we sell, and a performance close to that of a 1.5m model. The big benefit over the Strike 2 is Rohacell cored flying surfaces.
The {b, Strike 3} is superbly made using 30 g/m2 Carboline spread carbon, the model is exceptionally light, while also being strong and very rigid, allowing high launches. Still air times of 2 minutes have been reported by strong launchers, and pilots enjoy the excellent performance and sweet handling. Its full span ailerons allow camber adjustment in flight, giving it a wide speed range, allowing it to be flown in moderate winds, which is unusual for 1m gliders.
The Strike3's fuselage is a one piece (not pod and boom) design with the front part made from 2.4GHz friendly glass. From the wing rearwards it is made from very light but strong from spread carbon. A slip-on 2.4GHz friendly glassfibre nosecone to gives good access to the radio gear. The nose area of the latest design of fuselages have large cut outs on either side, allowing easy installation on the servos. The fuselage has servo mounting blocks ready molded in place, which the servos are glued to. All four servos are mounted in the pod to minimise nose weight and yaw inertia. The RC installation is fairly cramped installation so we don't recommend the Strike 3 as a first discus launch glider.
The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) is bolted onto a small pylon mounted below the boom, and the fin (vertical stabiliser) has a perfectly matching hole molded into it, enabling easy mounting onto the end of the tailboom. The tailplane and fin are superbly molded "scale models" of 1.5m DLG tail surfaces, and weigh less than 3 g each.
The Strike 3 wing is solid molded with a spread carbon skin over a CNC cut Rohacell 31 core. This is a stronger more dimensionally stable foam resulting in a more rigid wing that will retain a good surface finish for longer. The wing is a beautifully made spread carbon molded structure. It is incredibly light and strong, and has a perfect surface finish. The ailerons are fabricated with a living hinge. The only work required to finish the wings is installing the throwing blade and control horns.
The Strike 3 DLG is supplied with a very complete accessory pack, tail control horns, pushrod wires, tail torque springs, tail pull cord, a tail mounting pylon, and a nice throwing blade. See this RCGroups thread for {href,https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2957524-Strike-3-from-HyperFlight,the latest info}. Note the current version uses conventional aileron horns as the previous internal ones made the model difficult to assemble on the field.

{b,HOLY ####}
My first impressions of the Ahi are really positive. Had it out to Ellwood after work and was fortunate to get some decent-to-good lift (didn't measure but I estimate 9-12mph steady), and just slightly off-center. Typical afternoon conditions, the compression built up in the bowls nicely and really let me put the plane through its paces.
I carefully followed the instructions while building and think they'll give an outstanding result to anyone. Using the recommended 12g servos and battery from Dream-Flight, the plane needed zero noseweight to balance at a reasonable place (nice eh?). I am experimenting with the CG and am definitely liking it more and more the further I push it back, I'm currently about 4-5mm in front of the main spar and it feels pretty good there. Recommend that you just follow the directions as far as CG goes, start with something a little more forward and work your way back if you feel like it. The instructions have great info on dialing in your CG.
Performance was excellent, despite the small size and light weight it had absolutely no trouble penetrating, carried excellent speed, had a very fast and axial roll, excellent rudder and elevator authority, and overall was just a joy to fly. It felt very familiar - very much in the same vein as all the best slope aerobats I've flown in the past 15+ years - but at the same time had its own unique personality.
It presents like a much bigger plane, more like a 1.5m plane than the little 1.2m it actually is. Balanced at the neutral point recommended in the instructions, it will require very little forward stick while inverted, and will fly as precisely as any of the composite/molded dedicated slope aerobats I've flown over the years (i.e. Voltij, Wasabi, etc.), assuming the pilot so desires and is capable. It will also allow you to do the type of shenanigans seen in my Le Fish ultrabatics videos.
The semi-symmetrical airfoil is slightly noticeable (meaning: the inverted performance is just a hair different than the upright), but make no mistake: this is a full-on, 100% capable aerobatics glider. You can do multiple outside loops with no problem, and chain continuous upright & inverted figures together easily. One cool thing about the airfoil is that it makes the inverted spin and snaprolls REALLY GOOD. You can do an inverted/negative-G snaproll in the blink of an eye, it's extremely axial, and recovers as soon as you release the sticks. Looks wild as heck but is easy to pull off and if you flub it, the light weight will almost certainly help you to recover and get going again well before you crash.
Knife edge performance is very good, comparable to a Le Fish, Wasabi or Voltij. To get a long knife edge pass, pick up speed, roll on your side and then feed in as little rudder as possible, just enough to keep the nose at or slightly above the horizon. You should be able to do a nice (for a slope glider, heh) knife pass for a reasonable distance. You can also use the rudder to hang the plane on its side, into the wind, and do the whole "slide down the firepole" thing . In short, side area and rudder effectiveness are very good, completely appropriate for this style of flying.
The plane definitely likes to have a bit of rudder coordination in its turns. You don't have to do this, but it helps clean it up. Not hard at all, in fact, the feedback you get is so immediate and obvious that I think this will be an excellent plane to learn how to use rudder with. Don't be put off by this - learning to coordinate your turns is step 1 to learning how to use the rudder to do all sorts of awesome aerobatics. That's why you want an aerobatics plane, right?
It's very lightweight, so most "oops" type situations can be corrected just by neutralizing the sticks for a moment. This will quickly bring the plane out of whatever weird attitude you've managed to get it in, and give you (hopefully) ample opportunity to recover. The plane is light enough and tough enough that the few pancake landings / crashes I've had, have resulted in zero damage. It's EPO, so it's not indestructible by any means, but it's in that sweet spot of being fast but not so heavy that it can hurt itself too easily. Obviously, you mileage will vary, but I am a very "throw caution to the wind" kind of pilot and go for all kinds of low passes and am not afraid to crash. The plane seems to be handling that very well so far.
{b,Summary}
This is the plane I've been dreaming of having on the market for years; it's the plane that the slope aerobatics niche has needed for 10+ years.
The Ahi flies great, does (almost) every trick in the book, is forgiving, and super easy to assemble. It looks cool, can go fast, can go slow, can be flown precise or wild. It's approachable for a pilot who has never flown an aerobatics glider before, and will satisfy even the most expert pilot with its performance. It's easily replaceable if it gets S.L.O.P.E.-ed, and will be readily available (unlike some of the more esoteric designs out there that are often homebrew only).
If you are even remotely interested in slope aerobatics, or just looking for a tremendously capable and fun sloper, the Ahi is your jam. Get one.

r ��b� SPINNIN-BIRDY-AIL Spinnin' Birdy with Ailerons 1m� Many pilots who took our two axis DLG Spinnin' Birdy with them when travelling the world wished for a DLG that glided as well, but was even better against a stronger wind. Spot landings were also high on the wish list. :-)
OK, so we proudly present you our new "Birdy-Baby", a {b,Spinnin� Birdy with ailerons}. But this is not even the most striking difference to his two axis brother: For the first time, there is a Birdy with a completely sheeted wings. For two reasons: first, it looks impertinently good, and secondly, this construction cannot be beaten for torsional stiffness.
Honestly, without our laser system sheeting would be a pain, but thanks to the precise laser parts - and thin CA with a cannula the planking is a children's game. You'll see!
Since the achievable DLG throwing heights do not really have much to do with the ailerons, every Spinnin 'Birdy has launches about the same. However, as the aileron Birdy is somewhat heavier it is better off against the wind and can search further for a thermal.
Also if you add camber (droop the ailerons 2 mm) the flying speed and sink rate is reduced, allowing faster climbs in a thermal and a longer hang time.
When landing deflect the full span ailerons fully down and you will be amazed how well the model slows down.
You aren�t interested in discus launching? What are you looking for is a great model for a small slope? Then the Aileron Birdy is definitely a hit! Thanks to its take-off weight of about 200 g, the Birdy flies even in mild conditions early in the morning or in the evening. If your buddies have long since given up you can carry on flying because the single cell LiPo will fly it for hours, with approx 60 mAh consumed every hour (average current 60 mA).

Or a model with a mercilessly solid wooden construction, which you can also fly on the front or the backside of a slope? Then let the new {b,Birdy DS} convince you!
The most important changes from the Birdy-DS at a glance:
Wing profile (HN 871)
Cross-tail without underslung fin
Smaller ailerons to avoid flutter
Stiff control runs with cross-strengthening,
Very sturdy fuselage with continuous plywood reinforcement
Of course a Flitschenhaken!
If you want to leave your valuable crunchies (molded models) on the ground when flying new slopes, or want to fly at a new location without cares or worries then you will make the right choice with a Birdy-DS.

d � � � � W2� � � � � � � � x m �� b��� ��b�� SPERBER-JUNIORSperber Junior 2.08m�
A new {b,Sperber Junior} has hatched from the egg, a small but perfectly formed bird. Born in October he is just a 9 month old chick. Before he could fly out of the nest he had to cross a few hurdles.
The aim was to teach him good slope soaring and thermal catching skills - and he was also to learn to fly like a real bird. For this reason, Norbert has given him extra feathers. He has not become a dino of the air and he fits perfectly into a small wheeled nest, to always be with you.
Those who like to see a bird hatching themselves, have found with the Sperber Junior a really nice (and exemplary) animal. If the wing is neatly cleaned and everything is properly glued, in no time the Sperber Junior is flying as nicely as in the video.
Since the Sperber Junior is intrinsically stable aerotow is a dream with a small tug. Landings on the hillside or in the high grass are not problematic, as he can pull up his plumage.
We are sure all bird breeders will have a lot of fun with this chick.
The Sperber Junior kit comes without stickers, servo mounting frames and the like as most pet owners already have their own.

d � , � � � � � � � � � � � � � m �� ^��5� ���b�� REDSHIFT RedShift 3m� We are pleased to have some of James Hammond's highly anticipated new {b,RedShift F3F} slope racers.
This 3 m plane makes a great fast sports model or a good intro to F3F slope racing. With its long thin wings at an aspect ratio of 18.8 this plane looks great in the air and has a very low drag when pulling high G F3F turns, allowing speed to be maintained on a pylon (F3F) course, or when big air flying aerobatics.
The models are made in Taiwan to a very high standard. The surface finish is as good as the best top rated manufacturer's planes. The design is cutting edge with a high aspect ratio wing and specially developed racing airfoils, yet is very practical with ample space in the fuselage and well engineered tail linkages.
The fuselage is carbon, with a friendly Kevlar laminated front section featuring a slip-on nosecone to give excellent access to the RC, which is installed on a substantial glass fibre servo tray. The tail pushrod outers are bonded in place and the V tail torque rods are already installed. The tail linkages are completely internal to minimise drag, while the included 20 mm x 20 mm x 370mm long square fuselage ballast tube will let you load the plane to the FAI limit and beyond.
The two piece wings are beautifully molded giving a high gloss finish. The wing skins are very strong, minimising hanger rash, and are bonded to a substantial carbon "sine wave� spar which gives immense additional torsional strength needed on todays high aspect ratio racing planes. The wings include nice pockets for the flap and aileron servos and the aileron/flap control horns are pre installed in the factory. Each wing root also includes two 20 mm x 10 mm x 250 mm long ballast tubes.
The kit accessory bag includes the fuselage servo tray, four plastic servo mounting frames (designed to take larger 30 mm x 35 mm wing servos), clevises and colour coded hatch covers. The customer will need to supply the metal wing control rods and the tail linkage pushrod ends to fit to the supplied carbon tail pushrods. The cut outs in the fuselage servo tray are for servos with a body footprint of 23 mm x 12 mm.
The video shows an early glass wing prototype but we are stocking single carbon and double carbon versions only which are extremely rigid. Double carbon ones are recommended for racing and the single carbon ones for sport flying.
Redshift has a breathtaking turn of speed as well as good aerobatic performance, and will rip around F3f turns at a blinding rate - so turn up the gain on your pacemakers and give this one a try!

{b,HyperFlight Safety Warning}
There is discussion of the Altis causing power loss and subsequent crashes in {href,https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3663853-New-Firmware-for-Altis-Nano-and-Altis-V4,this RCGroups thread}, see especially post #24 onwards. The consensus is that the crimping is potentially unreliable on both the Altis and the ESC wiring and the best way of improving reliability is to wire an additional positive and negative wire from the ESC to the receiver in parallel to the Altis.

Z � � � � i � � � � � � � � � >� p :� b� � ��b� TANGOTango F5J 3.1mf The {b,Tango F5J} is a very nice 3.15m four servo wing (flap and aileron) all CNC cut wood kit. The wing uses carbon tubular spars to facilitate quick and accurate construction, and the CNC parts fit together like a beautiful giant jigsaw. Two carbon tubes per wing make it extremely torsion-resistant and allow the Tango to be flown on windier days with impunity. The large span, optimal aspect ratio, and HQ30/11 airfoil and full span control surfaces give the Tango an excellent glide angle and duration. Adding a little camber allows the models to thermal beautifully, so it can climb in even the weakest lift. The Tango is easy to master and the landings are child's play with the big flaps. The landing approach can be nearly vertical! If the flaps are set to 90� the Tango sinks safely very steeply and can be rounded out and alighted on the spot with ease.
But who is talking about landing? We want to fly the Tango does that very well. Even with normal flap position, the Tango thermals well. With the flaps in thermal position it's even better. When travelling back upwind raise the flaps a bit and the Tango pickings up speed without losing height.
The Tango really likes to circle tight. After the development and before the serial production of the models the manufacturer built several models to really verify the data. They found the Tango can fly very slowly but also has a wide speed range. It was built to circle in the thermals and to land accurately. Both are possible to perfection. The 4 control surface wing can be adapted to any desired situation. Modern programmable transmitters offer countless possibilities.
As English build manual is now available. See the {i,Tango EN Build Manual [147kb]} download link just below the video and above the reviews. Use this in conjuntion with the photos in the German manual.

Malibu Pro 1m The {b,Malibu Pro} is an improved version of the Malibu, a lovely 1m DLG that launches high and has great handling. Due to the large wing area and big flapperons the model thermals very easily. The well coordinated controls give it nimble handling, and the model holds its own, even when compared with considerably more expensive DLGs.
The standard version of {b,Malibu Pro DLG} model is supplied with a strong and brightly coloured glass layup wing, which weighs approx 64 g. The carbon version (illustrated in most of the photos) is supplied with a lighter Carboline spread carbon wing weighing approx 59 g. These are good weights for an economic 1 meter discus launched glider, especially considering the generous wing area of design.
The Malibu Pro's fuselage is a pod and boom design with the front part made from 2.4GHz friendly glass, and the rear from spread carbon. There is an large access hatch on the top giving access to the RC installation. The aileron and elevator servos are installed in the pod to minimise nose weight and yaw inertia. A rudderless RC set-up is suggested as the fin is not cut for rudder, but this could easily be changed if full three axis control is preferred, though this is often thought unnecessary for small models. Due to the large canopy hatch and only three servos the RC installation is not quite as cramped as most DLGs, making it suitable for an intermediate level modeller.
The Malibu Pro's wing is solid molded with a glass or spread carbon skin over a CNC cut foam core. The wing has a nice surface finish for low drag. The ailerons are fabricated with a living hinge. The only work required to finish the wings is installing the throwing blade and control horns. The supplied throwing blade is of an innovative split tang design, with the tangs being glued to the top and bottom surfaces of the wing, which is much easier than on most DLGs, which require the tip to be hollowed out. The throwing blade can be fitted to either tip, so the model is suitable for left and right handed throwers.
The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) is mounted on a very nice mini articulated "V mount" on the top of the boom, and the fin (vertical stabiliser) has a perfectly matching hole molded into it, enabling easy mounting onto the end of the tailboom. The tailplane and fin are plain black spread carbon on the SC layup wing model (as illustrated). On the glass wing version the tailplane and fin are glass layups also, with attractive colouring to match the wing colour.
The model is supplied with a accessory pack including the control horns, V mount, launch blade, elevator pushrod, aileron pushrods, and wing mounting screws.

{video,z__6QP13RAI} � � � � � � � � � � � � � � c x� c09 A ���b� INTRODUCTION-F5JIntroduction F5J 2.9m� The {b,Introduction F5J} is a plane for pilots who love long flights in the thermals as well as for those who love to have relaxing flights and for "come-without-charger-to-the-field" pilots. The Introduction F5J uses the same fuselage and tail as the well liked Inside F5J but with a more stable polyhedral wing with flaps on the centre panel only.
The model uses a tubular carbon spars, precisely lasercut wood parts, a very simple construction (think 3D-puzzle), easy and forgiving take off-, flight- and landing characteristics, large speed range due to the modified AG35 section, ecxellent handling and thermal characteristics.
2860mm wingspan, 920g flying weight, three-part wing with multiple dihedral and attached wingtips, lightweight rudder and elevator constructed in a solid interlocking framework, removable elevator (optional) mounted in front of the rudder, 90� deflectable landing flaps enabling you flying vertical descents, integrated wing connectors in the main spar, innovative (tool- and tape-free) fixation of the outer wings. Vertical descents with deflected landing flaps (90�) and landings avoiding the vortex zone on steep slopes are now possible without any problems.
The recommended drive - containing the BL-outrunner Hacker A20-22L Evo, a 3-cell LiPo with a capacity of 1300mAh and the CamCarbon 11x6 prop - allows a many many climbs to thermal country. Due to the light weight, a motor run time of 5 to 10 seconds per climb is sufficient.
The kit:
Main feature of the model is the tubular carbon spar, onto which the lasercut ribs are kind of "threaded". Stylish wingtips ensure an elegant appearance. Our Introduction F5J has the most beautiful and elegant fuselage of all of our Gruener kits so far and it is consistently designed for the use of small brushless outrunners. The flying weight starts at 920g. Considering a wing with nearly 3 meters wingspan and a wing area of 65dm� (wing loading approx. 14g/dm�) you might imagine the thermal abilities of this design. Due to the long fuselage and the multiple dihedral in combination with the wingtips, the INTRODUCTION F5J has excellent flight characteristics.
The fuselage made of balsa is reinforced with light plywood in the front section. A precisely shaped milled part is already prepared to fix the motor Hacker A20-22L Evo. The kit contains, besides of the lasercut parts, CRP-spars, GRP-leading edges, all the small parts and linkages needed to complete the model. An excellent full scale full colour plan and a richly illustrated German construction manual is supplied. An English translation of the Inside F5J (same fuse as Introduction F5J, but more complex wing) is available {href,http://hoellein.com/downloads/pdf-artikel/gruener/Inside-manual.v2.pdf,here}.
Glue, covering film, power- and RC-components are NOT included in the kit. As covering film we recommend ORACOVER or ORALIGHT iron-on film.

The {b, Hawk} is a great 1m mini DLGs from Ukraine that flies excellently, especially when considering their very competitive prices. These models launch high and have a good speed range.
The glass {b,Hawk DLG} model is supplied with a strong and brightly coloured glass layup wing, which weighs approx 60 g. The SC Hawk version is supplied with a lighter Carboline spread carbon wing weighing 52 g. The SC model especially is exceptionally light, while also being strong and very rigid, allowing high launches. Still air times of 1:30 to 2 minutes can be obtained by strong launchers, and thermal performance and stability is good.
The SC Hawk's fuselage is a one piece (not pod and boom) design of oval cross section, with the front part made from 2.4GHz friendly glass, and the rear from spread carbon. The glass Hawk version's fuselage is all glass construction. There is an good sized access hatch on the top giving access to the RC installation. The aileron and tail servos are installed in the pod to minimise nose weight and yaw inertia. This does make for a cramped installation, and as the only instructions available are various online build logs we don't recommend the Hawk or Light Hawk for inexperienced builders.
The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) is bolted onto a small pylon molded into the underside of the boom, and the fin (vertical stabiliser) has a perfectly matching hole molded into it, enabling easy mounting onto the end of the tailboom.
The Hawk wing is solid molded with a glass or spread carbon skin over a CNC cut foam core. The wing has a good surface finish ensuring low drag and longevity. The ailerons are fabricated with a living hinge. The only work required to finish the wings is installing the throwing blade and control horns.
The model is supplied with a very complete accessory pack which includes all control horns, pushrod wires, tail torque springs, tail pull cord, pull cord ferrules, a nice throwing blade and a small glass plate for mounting the servos. Some very nice sewn wing bags are now available at a small extra cost. These will help avoid transport and storage damage, keeping the glider in top condition.

i � � � � � x � � � � � � � � � t � c1S `��`�# CORSA-275Corsa 2.75m 108"� The {b,Corsa 2.75 m} is a stretched (to 108") and improved version of the Schwing Cosra design from the well regarded slope soaring designer James Hammond. The extra span opens up the performance envelope considerably, allowing the model to stay up in lighter airs and also to fly larger higher energy aerobatics on big air days.
The all molded carbon and glass Corsa 2.75 has a superb speed range, very precise and predictable aerobatic handling, making it probably the best 2.75m sloper currently available. It is built strong enough for high energy slope aerobatics while also being light enough to be enjoyable in lighter winds.
The wing is based on the earlier Schwing Corsa designs and benefit from the revolutionary Sine Wave Spar that is now a feature of all Aeroic planes. The optimized and now stretched wing planform has undergone a series of changes throughout the development and testing of the model resulting good performance over a wide speed range.
The reducing thickness, optimally cambered sections will let you go from really slow landing speeds with the flaps down to heart thudding passes with a little reflex, yet despite its ability to carry heavy ballast loads, the airframe will thermal with the best of them. Large ailerons, large flaps and the stretched wing planform each add to the overall performance of the airframe.
Horns are factory fitted with well thought out geometry to allow flush servo installation using 10mm servos for flaps and 8mm servos for the ailerons. Using conventional linkages, you can get a clean, practical and most importantly serviceable wing installation optimized to use full servo travel to give high torque and low slop. Ballast spaces in the wing root allow approx 450 g (1lb) of lead to be carried.
As used in several military aircraft the Sine Wave Spar (SWS) has been adapted for the first time to make up the heart of a model sailplane wing, and has frankly amazed us with its low weight, and ultra high strength. Unlike a conventional �Box� spar the Sine Wave Spar adds terrific torsional stiffness and yet actually weighs considerably less than the older conventional spar types. Now used in all Aeroic airframes, the Sine Wave Spar is lighter and far stronger than �conventional� spars and raises the overall performance level another few notches.
The slim and curvaceous fuselage is strong, light, and stiff with Carbon/Kevlar reinforcement and gives far more strength to the boom than most models. Electronics area is 2.4 GHz friendly with access to the radio and ballast through a slip-on nose cone. The long nose area accentuates the rakish lines but also provides plenty of space to easily balance the model. Snakes (not supplied) and/or rear mounted direct servos can be used for Rudder/Elevator control. Wing stub fairings with location dowel holes finish the fuselage with recesses for �green� Multiplex type connectors to connect the electronics pre-routed.
Supplied accessories include a wiring loom, four plastic servo mounting frames (designed to take larger 30 mm x 35 mm wing servos), good quality metal wing clevises and pushrods, and colour coded hatch covers. The supplied accessories assume the rudder and elevator servo are mounted in the fin, allowing short slop-free linkages.

� � # � � � � � � � � � � , [ _� brf� � ��b�& SNIPE-2$Snipe 2 1.5m DLG including wing bags7 The {b,Vladimir's Models Snipe 2} has a great pedigree, as the Snipe 1 and the Snipe SN were already acknowledged as some of the best discus launched gliders ever made. However in preparation for the 2017 F3K World Championship Vladimir�s Models made a batch of experimental Snipe DLGs with 1 degree more wing incidence. This resulted in the horizontal stabiliser being lifted up on 25 mm (1�) in flight, reducing the airstream�s influence on the tailplane. Also the rigidity and stiffness of the control system were increased, giving more precise control and even higher flutter resistance. These models were successfully used by Cederic Duss (World Cup 2017, Eurotour 2017 winner), Igor Butseroga (2nd Place in F3K World Championship 2017), and the F3K teams from Austria, New Zealand, Ukraine, Italy and South Africa.
The {b,Snipe 2} is a further development of these improved competition models with a more streamlined and very much toughened fuselage.
The significant decrease in wing wake�s influence on the tail group improved the laminar flow on the tail surfaces and improved the Snipe 2�s control response, especially in turbulent conditions and when in strong lift. This allows the centre of gravity to be moved back 5 mm without compromising the handling or stability. This more rearward CG position decreased the required decalage (wing-stabiliser angle) also reducing aerodynamic drag.
The new thinner and more streamline Snipe 2 fuselage and stiffer wing construction is instrumental further drag reduction, giving higher launches. But above all these changes allow the Snipe 2 to climb better in thermals with smaller circles and giving clearer displays about the left and sink, so the model can be centred more quickly and reliably.
Vladimir�s Models have significantly increased the stiffness of all parts of the model to get the highest launch:
The rigidity of the fuselage is increased by 65% in relation to Snipe and Snipe SN. This has been achieved by using a wider tailboom made from Ultra High Module Carboline prepreg.
Snipe 2 has stiffer carbon aileron pushrods with ball links resulting in zero free play (no slop). The aileron horn has an extra shaft combined with the aileron hinge. This minimizes free play and compliance in the hinge and also greatly increases the rigidity of the ailerons� control system. Snipe 2 has tougher torsion springs and steel control cable in pull-spring tail control system.
Joe Wurts worked over many years to design the aerodynamics for a perfect DLG wing and came to the conclusion that thin profiles are needed, especially for the rear aileron part of the section. Structural analysis showed that hollow molded sandwich construction was not rigid enough and a completely new solution was required.
{img, extras/Snipe-DLG-wing-const-600.jpg, Snipe molded wing construction}
Working with Vladimir�s Models, Joe and Vladimir worked out how to integrate a carbon I-web spar into a solid Rohacell core. The spar/shear web significantly increases the wing rigidity and protects against spar delamination during the high launch loading. The other integrated shear web closes the aileron leading edge and makes the very thin aileron extremely rigid. All Rohacell cores are CNC cut from a specially sourced ultralight formula of Rohacell which is not available to other manufacturers.
{img, extras/Snipe-DLG-flap-const-600.jpg, Snipe molded wing flap construction}
The Snipe 2 is available in four wing layups:
The {b,Snipe 2 Regular} wing skin is made of unique ultrathin Carboline 39 g/m� carbon fabric and provides the wing with light weight, rigidity, strength and excellent profile accuracy.
The strong wing version of {b,Snipe 2 Strong} provides a high powerful launch with the strength to take 100g of ballast, even in windy conditions. Longitudinal Carboline reinforcement layers marginally increases the weight, but significantly increased the strength of the Snipe 2 Strong wing. Additional aileron reinforcement eliminates flutter even at high launch speed. The Snipe 2 Strong wing weights about 115g.
For expert pilots Vladimir�s Models developed a new Ultra High Module wing for the {b,Snipe 2 UHM}. The wing of this version only weighs 102-108g, however, the rigidity is 20% higher than the wing of Snipe 2 Regular.
Finally, the {b,Snipe 2 Light UHM} shares the light weight of earlier Snipe models with the improved construction of the latest wings to create an incredibly light and rigid wing that can be launched very high and will out float the competition on light air days.
A 2 piece wing is also available as an option. This asymmetrically split to the right of the centreline version adds only 6 grams to the weight, and makes transporting the model much more convenient - especially by air. This option is only recommended for right handed launchers. Also note the two piece wing model is shipped in a smaller box, reducing the delivery cost. This may make it the more economical option for many customers.
We will endeavour to stock all these layup options but if we do not please email us - we are delighted to special order models for customers.
The Snipe has the advantage in all phases of flight: it's very light weight and low drag allow pilots to throw the model to amazing altitudes with little exertion, the JW airfoil and light weight results in a great rate of climb even in weak thermals, and the clean aerodynamic design and internal aileron linkages give an extremely good L/D and the ability to return home from long distances downwind. The combination of outstanding launch height and an exceptionally low sink rate gives great still air duration. Even at its low weight the Snipe can cope with average wind speeds well, however 30 g, 60 g or 85 g ballast pieces can be fitted internally, allowing the model to be flown in winds up to the FAI limit with confidence.
Vladimir's Models now supplies Snipe 2 models with wing, tail and fuselage bags, so these are now included in the base price. No need to order wings bags separately.

KST-X08H-PLUS<KST X08H Plus Horizontal Lug Servo - 5.3Kg.cm 0.09s 9.5g 8mm� The {b,KST X08H Plus} is a version of the KST X08 Plus servo with horizontal mounting lugs (also called mounting tabs), making it suitable for use in wing and other flying surfaces.The {b,KST X08H Plus} is a very light (9.5 g) low/medium/high voltage metal cased servo. It is based on the well regarded KST X08H V5 servo but with a larger motor fitted.
It is especially good for ailerons on F5J gliders, electric racers, and all models with thin flying surfaces. Despite being only 8 mm thick the powerful coreless DC motor and gearing provide good torque and high speed. The X08H Plus can be operated from a voltage as low as 3.8V (1S LiPo) or as high as 8.4V (2S LiPo). KST servos have excellent geartrain machining tolerances, and this servo is completely slop free, and equal to products costing twice as much. Despite not having an -MG moniker this servo has metal gears, and is very tough.
The KST X08H Plus's high torque, good speed, and 8mm thinness make it suitable for many high performance glider, pylon racers and EDF applications. With up to 5.3 kg.cm torque the KST X08 is appropriate for F5J, F5D, F3J and many types of high performance models.

` � ) � � � � � � � � � � 0 q� �� cp�� ��`� SNIPE-2E8Snipe 2 Electric 1.5m including powertrain and wing bags�
The {b,Snipe 2 Electric} from Vladimir's Models is an electric version of the competition winning Snipe 2 DLG. It is ideal for the new F5K class having a low weight and proven world-class performance. The DLG version of the Snipe has a brilliant speed range combined with a very good glide angle, allowing the pilot to range very far downwind when riding thermals. The electric version is no different, and also has a very sweet temperament, making for a low stress flying experience.
We supply the model with the {href, products.asp?code=VMF5K-PWRSET, Vladimir's Models Snipe 2e Powerset}, {href, https://www.hyperflight.co.uk/products.asp?code=SNIPE-WING-FUSE-BAG, Snipe 2 Wing Bags} and a fuselage servo mount for KST X06, KST X08H or SD100/D47 servos. The Snipe 2e is probably the most advanced of the F5K models currently available, and Vladimir's Models has pioneered the use of small drone type outrunners for these models, even producing new a special spinner/yoke/prop to minimise weight and give great performance.
Multiple times RC glider world champion and professional aeronautical engineer Joe Wurts worked over many years to optimise the aerodynamics for a perfect 1.5m glider wing and came to the conclusion that thin profiles are needed, especially for the rear aileron part of the section. Structural analysis showed that hollow molded sandwich construction was not rigid enough and a solid foam cored solution was required.
{img, extras/Snipe-DLG-wing-const-600.jpg, Snipe molded wing construction}
Working with Vladimir�s Models, Joe and Vladimir worked out how to integrate a carbon I-web spar into a solid Rohacell core. The spar/shear web significantly increases the wing rigidity and protects against spar delamination during the high launch loading. The other integrated shear web closes the aileron leading edge and makes the very thin aileron extremely rigid. All Rohacell cores are CNC cut from a specially sourced ultralight formula of Rohacell which is not available to other manufacturers.
{img, extras/Snipe-DLG-flap-const-600.jpg, Snipe molded wing flap construction}
The resulting wing and tail surfaces are beautifully molded with exceptional strength and lightness. The wing layups sometimes available are:
{b, Regular} - standard amount of regular modulus spread carbon wing layup - fine for most people
{b, Light UHM} - lighter layup of ultra-high-modulus spread carbon wing layup - about 10g lighter, maybe a little stiffer than regular, best for light conditions.
{b, UHM} - standard amount of ultra-high-modulus spread carbon wing layup - stiffer, better at speed, no weight penalty, best all round flier.
{b, Strong} - more regular modulus spread carbon wing layup - stronger, about 20g heavier, good for windier weather.
A two piece wing version is also available as an option. This asymmetrically split to the right of the centreline version adds only 6 grams to the weight, and makes transporting the model much more convenient - especially by air. Also note the two piece wing model is shipped in a smaller box, reducing the delivery cost. This may make it the more economical option for many customers.
We don't recommend that customers wait for their ideal layup and colour combination to come into stock, it will probably never happen. We can special order models for customers, though these usually take 2-3 months to arrive. One Snipe on the flying field is definitely worth two in the factory.
The Snipe 2e requires a little construction and does not include the RC (servos, receiver, transmitter). It is not suitable for a beginner, and some thought will be required to get everything to fit in the very limited pod space. The models comes with a complete accessory pack and a servo tray designed for KST X08H or Ripmax SD100/Dymond D47 servos only. The fuselage is as small as possible for the equipment and the servos are installed on a special 3D printed servo tray which is then mounted inside the fuselage, under the wing. However due to this advanced installation there is a surprising amount of room in the nosecone between the motor and the wing leading edge, giving lots of space for the battery. The model is suitable for use with 2S LiPo batteries only (not 3S or you will fry the RC) with capacities between 300mAh and 450mAh. Our HyperLiPo 2S 300 mAh LiPo battery can be used.
See this {href,https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3153970-Snipe-2-Electric, RCGroups Snipe 2e,} thread for more info.
Note, we now bundle the powertrain, servo mount and wing bags into the base price, to avoid confusion. Only regular layup one piece wing models (if in stock) are actually availlable for the base price. Optional two piece wing and wings and lighter/stronger carbon layups increase the price, as shown at the end of the model's description.

It is ideal for most discus launched glider. Beautifully molded from carbon fibre, and contoured to maximise launch height and comfort. Not symmetrical, so better for right handed throwers.
Note the tang has a trapezoidal cross section, not an oblong shape. Mount the wider end to the wing leading edge, and the thinner to the trailing edge.
The price of the {b,Snipe 2 Offset Throwing Blade} is not a mistake. Vladimir's Models considers this to be one of the great benefits of the Snipe 2, and is pricing it accordingly. We are not allowed to sell it at a lower price.

The weight can be decreased by reducing the thickness of the carbon towards the ends of the blades, and by profiling the edges, to approximate to a thin ellipse.
To fit, open the end of the model's wing, and glue the tang inside the wing with epoxy or good quality thick CA. For excellent installation instructions see this {Href,http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1517237, great RCGroups thread.}

FUSE-LDS-6100.Universal Fuselage LDS for MKS DS6100 & HV6100� In 2019 VM has released a new plastic version of their {b,Universal Fuselage LDS for MKS 6100}. See the first two photos. All other photos show the previous wood design - however these are useful to see the general configuration.
Vladimir's Models have developed the {b,Universal Fuselage LDS for MKS 6100} servo installation system to enable rudder and elevator servos to be mounted in the fuselage in a way that minimises the space required and maximises control rigidity. It is a simple, very rigid, light and compact control system.
This is brilliant idea for electric gliders and good for pure gliders too. It works for all modern F3J/F3F/F5J type gliders including the Shinto, Maxa Pro Electric, Maxa Pro glider and Supra Expert glider.
This LDS system is easy to make and easy to install. The servo horns are screwed to the bearing on the frame. The neutral position of the horns and rod length are regulated separately from the servos. After that we just fasten servos to the frame. This method greatly simplifies the installation and adjustment because servos occupy the entire volume of the upper part of the fuselage.
The {b,Universal Fuselage LDS for MKS 6100} has these advantages:
{bullet}
It works on most modern F3J, F3F, F5J etc fuselages.
Simple, quick, accurate installation.
Inverted upside down servos allow the tail pushrods to be straighter, reducing friction.
Lower pushrods move the rods down to improve space for the battery.
The servo horn has additional bearing support, reducing the servo backlash and protecting the servo gear against shock loads.
Works with the best economic servos currently available, the MKS DS6100 and MKS HV6100.

a � : � � & � � � � � � � � � < w T� Balsawood, plywood, carbon fibre c!�� ��b�; SIMITRISimitri F5J 3.9m� The {b,Simitri F5J} is a brilliant design, with top quality construction and amazing value. The wing and tailplane are of all spread carbon construction, making the model extremely tough, rigid, and light. The aerodynamic design is similar to the Maxa and the Perfection - thus aerodynamically and structurally it has an excellent herritage. This shows in its very forgiving flying characteristics, excellent speed range, superb glide angle and also a very low sink speed.
The fuselage is very well thought out, with the motor, speed control, and rudder and elevator servos fitting at the front of the pod, with enough room to slip the battery through the large canopy hatch into the ample space behind the servos. Aft of that there is a ballast tube, so the plane's weight can be adjusted for windy conditions - however its excellent polar gives it a good speed range so extra weight is only beneficial for wind speeds above 15 mph (7m/s, 24 km/h).
The spread carbon skinned wing has a substantial spar, allowing high energy aerobatics if required. The wing is of conventional three piece construction. The control surfaces are large, so camber changes are very effective, and the large flaps allow the plane to be spot landed with ease. The spread carbon tailplane has a separate elevator to give very precise pitch control. The carbon fin sports a large film covered rudder to minimise tail weight, and is removable to help with transportation. The fit and finish is very good, with all the parts sliding into place perfectly. The pushrods, all control horns and linkages are supplied. The only work required to get the model airborne is gluing the tailboom and installing the RC and powertrain.

MARAI-ARTFMirai F3-RES F5-RES 2m ARTF� Flying the beautiful {b,Mirai} 2m RES glider is one of the most rewarding aircraft models for modellers - nothing compares to relaxation flying in weak conditions, circling under clouds and flying quietly in the evenings where you can sit back and watch your elegant model almost fly itself. The Mirai is supplied ready built and superbly covered in Oralight. It just requires installation of the RC etc. The Mirai is an upgrade from the manufacturer�s previous well acclaimed Circle Dancer 2000 model.
These 2m models, launched using a hi-start and controlled only by rudder, elevator and spoiler have their special competition category, now called F3L, in which is not about showing off, but about flying with similarly like minded model fliers. There is also a category F5-RES for two-meter gliders with electric propulsion.
The Mirai is available in V tail and conventional X tail versions, and both pure glider pods and electric pods are available. See the options below the price.

Enigma F5J 4m_
The {b,Enigma F5J} is a beautiful 3.95m F5J glider from Russia. A well engineered and attractive F5J competition model with an excellent flying reputation. The finish is not as good as that of the top manufacturers but the performance is first class.
The Enigma major innovation is a very nicely engineered V tail designed for tail mounted KST X08 servos. The elimination of tail pushrods combined with the supplied lightweight tail wiring harness means this configuration does not need substantial extra nose weight, but the RC installation is considerably simplified and the whole of fuselage front is available for the powertrain and ballast.
The fuselage 99% completed with the firewall fitted and just the tailboom to be fixed to the forward part. A substantial ballast tube 55 cm long with an internal diameter of 16 mm is ready fitted. The fuselage is a nice simple design with ample space for the powertrain, receiver, and ballast.
The wing is has XPS foam cores with chequerboard spread carbon skins. The wing spars are improved and are substantial. The wing colour schemes are stylish modern faded designs usually with contrasting white underside stripes. A well made and very lightweight wiring harness built into the wing, with the plug already mounted.
The accessory pack includes wing control horns, clevises and pushrods. And wing and tail servo wiring harnesses as previously stated. The plane is sometimes/was previously called the Skiff and some links give that name.

At 8.4V the BMS-115HV's torque is 5.3 kg.cm while still having an excellent speed of 0.09 seconds per 60� of movement.
The {b,Blue Bird BMS-115HV} is a great HV servo built to the same space saving form factor as the MKS HV6110. It is similarly precise, with no free play in the geartrain, and it is even more powerful and faster than the competing product. The large output spline is identical to Futaba 25 tooth splines, so replacement output arms are readily available. Note the output spline is not the same as MKS so the servo cannot be used with most MKS accesories.
HyperFlight is pleased to be able to supply the complete range of this excellent and increasingly popular range of Blue Bird servos. Many expert modellers are fitting these servos to the latest ultralight F5J models like the Ultima and the Infinity.

Auri 1.5m DLG� The new {b,Auri DLG} from LD Models is a great improvement over their previous designs, in both quality of construction and contest success. See this RCGroups post from the designer:
<i>Last two years I flew the Stark Pro and found that it was rather hard to fly in dead air. Me myself prefer forward CG and speed flying. So, when thermals are very unstable or when you only have "good" and "bad" air Stark Pro never showed a sign it can climb in something.
My decision was to change the central wing airfoil section to make the model more sensitive to weak thermals. At the same time I wanted to keep penetration and speed of the plane near the same. Also I really like wing's planform of the Stark Pro and didn't want to change it. So, after hours with XFLR and Solid Works new airfoils were ready and we started our work on moulds.
It took 1.5 months to mill wing and tails moulds, sand and polish them. First prototype was ready 1 day before the first contest this season.
I was really surprised when I won that contest with ease. And it was only beginning of my amazing flying season with Auri. Now, when my flying season is over I can say that it is really big success of LD Models team.</i>
The Auri is ideal for customers looking for great flying performance and model toughness at reasonable cost.
#The Auri now comes with top quality {pref, F3K-WING-BAG, sewn fabric Wing Bags}, making it even better value.
The fuselage is a one piece design with a generous front to facilitate a four-servos-in-the-pod RC installation, eliminating the need for noseweight. It is available in an all carbon layup as standard, or with a 2.4GHz friendly Kevlar nose aread (dyed black) which allows the receiver antennas to be kept internal.
The light and nicely finished tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) and fin (vertical stab) are availabe with matching coloured glass skins or with all black spread carbon skins at extra cost. The rudder and elevator are ready hinged and give good control response.
The wing is beautifully molded from spread carbon with a Rohacell core to maximise strength and dimensional stability, ensuring the surface finish stays smooth. The design incorporates nicely designed ailerons to give excellent control at all speeds. The hinge gap is sealed with hinge tape, eliminating a common drag source and ensuring high launches.
The supplied accessories include a glass fibre servo mount (sized for KST X08), tail pylon, aileron pushrods, rudder and elevator pull cables, torque springs, all control horns and a nice asymmetrical throwing blade.

O W� Steel c(W�h ���b� PURES-V2 PuRES V2 2m� The {b,Pures V2} is one of the original models that drove this class to worldwide success. The Pures V2 and the Slite V2 are probably the most highly regarded models in this 2m balsa glider class.
In 2011 Josef Gergetz of SETA Modelltechnik started to manufacture high quality sailplane kits for the newly emerging 2m build up glider competition class. By the end of 2017 the demand for Pures was so high that Josef Gergetz could no longer keep up with the production. Delivery times many months and it was decided to switch the production to lasercut technology at a larger manufacturer, resulting in the Pures V2.
The {b,Pures V2} uses a slightly modified version of the highly regarded AG24 - AG26 airfoil family by Mark Drela. To allow accurate construction of the originally very thin trailing edge the rear of the airfoil was slightly thickened. It gives high lift with comparatively little drag over a wide range of lift coefficients (Cl). Compared to the Pures V2 the Pures V2 has improved L/D, especially at higher speeds.
The wing of the Pures V2 iis built as an open rib construction over very strong wound carbon fiber tube spars. To reduce sagging of the covering film between the ribs an extra sub rib is used between each full rib. This ensures the wing profile conforms much better to Mark Drela's original airfoil than other built-up designs.
A balsa jig is supplied to ease positioning of the numerous ribs, ensuring the wing is built in an accurate and speedy manner. The laser cut structure is almost identical to the previous CNC version as there was nearly nothing to improve.
What is new? Besides the new lasercut production, the components are now numbered to ease building. Furthermore, there is an excellent multicolored construction plan and richly illustrated building instructions (in German only).

The optimised design uses wound carbon fiber spar tubes, a tapered tail boom and pultruded carbon fibre tubes for the leading edge. The Pures V2 has a three piece wing and is built as an open tubular spar rib construction. The wing joiner is made of 5mm class composite rod. The flat inner wing (with the central airbrake) has an a rectangular planform. The strongly tapered mid panels are joined to the center panel with a dihedral of 10�.The lightweight tip panel is joined to the mid panel with a dihedral of 16�.
{b,Fuselage construction}
The front of the fuselage is made from balsa with plywood reinforcements and plywood formers. Behind the wing, the wooden fuselage joins the CRP tail boom (wound, tapered carbon fiber spar tube) which is supplied already drilled for the V tail mounts and slots for the bowden tubes are also already milled out. The CRP tail boom is manufactured in the same way as the tubular carbon spars of the wings to similarly minimise weight and maximise stiffness. The fuselage is wide enough to fit a 4 x AAA sized NiMH (or similarly sized LiPo) battery.
{b,Tailplane construction}
The tailplane is quickly constructed from solid balsa sheets, with lightening holes shaping its Pures name.
{b,Electric Modification}
The Pures fuselage is 31 mm wide and 40mm high at the front. Major modifications would be required to fit an electric powertrain.
The kit consists of carefully selected and numbered laser cut balsa and plywood parts. All small parts and good quality linkages are included in the kit. RC components, glues and covering material are not included.

� � � � � �(� � � � � � � � � \ �� b��C 2 ��b�� FLITZ2Flitzbogen 2 DLG 1.5m� HyperFlight is proud to stock the {b,Flitzebogen 2 } - or {b,Flitz 2} to English speakers. The {b,Flitz2} is a superbly built discus launched glider with an illustrious contest record and an enthusiastic following by the cognoscenti. Oleg Golovidov placed second using a Flitz at the recent US IHLG contest, a tribute to Oleg and the glider! The Flitz 2 is an update on the original design with a higher aspect ratio wing and other aerodynamic and structural improvements. The surface finish is of the highest standard.
The small fuselage is a nicely made carbon molding with a 2.4GHz transparent glass radio compartment, to simplify the RC installation and maximise range. The tailplane is mounted on a lightweight pylon that can be mounted above or below the tailboom, whichever the builder prefers. The fin is a strong but light design.
Like the rest of the model the wing is a beautifully molded with carbon skin of attractive lozenge shaped spread carbon, over a solid core. The aileron servos are mounted in the wing for the most direct and rigid control connection, and the aileron pocket outlines are already moulded into the lower wing skin. The wing is available in two weights, {i,Light} and {i,Standard} - the Standard layup is about 10g heavier and suitable for all flying conditions.
The wing launch peg and other hardware are included in the full accessory packet. See this {href, https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2679842-Flitz2,RC Groups Flits 2} thread for a lot more infio and great build photos by Oleg. BTW {i,flitzebogen } is German for {i,crossbow}.

This throwing blade/peg is beautifully molded from carbon fibre. Use abrasive paper to shape the blade to an airfoil and sweep back the leading dege to maximise launch height and comfort. Almost symmetrical, so it can be used for right handed and left handed throwers.
Much easier to fit that more conventional thowing blades using tangs. Glue the horizontal mounts over the tip of the wing with epoxy or good quality thick CA. To eliminate the chance of it coming loose drill a 2 mm hole all through the mount and wing and peg it in place with some 2mm carbon rod. The weight can be decreased by reducing the thickness of the carbon towards the ends of the blades, and by profiling the edges, to approximate to a thin ellipse.

Ideal for F3K, F5J, F3J, F3F, F3B, F3B, F3F and all similarly sized model aircraft.
The centre of gravity scale comes with a 9 V battery which supplies the energy to this complex device. The scale consists of the main unit holding the scales, a 3D printed cradle to hold the model, and a microcomputer with LCD display to output the info.
Available in two versions as shown below. We recommend the {i,Small 3 Kg} version for most modellers as perversely it has a slightly lager max fuse size.
During boot up the battery voltage is displayed. Occasionally new 9V batteries are too high initially in which case the display is incorrect until the voltage drops. The battery is changed by unscrewing the plate near the switch.

This updated frame has a larger gluing area and fits the older KST DS125, DS135, DS225 as well as the newer KST X10 and X10 Mini servos.
This product does not work with other manufacturer's (eg MKS) servos as the output spline size and retaining arm screw size is particular to KST.
These frames speed-up servo installation, keep the servo secure and rigidly mounted, and also allow easy removal for maintenance or replacement. The external bearing reduces side load at the servo output arm, reducing compliance and extending the life of the servo. The external bearing reduces any free play, increasing the stiffness of the control surface, improving control and avoiding flutter problems.
Sold in pairs. Add one to the basket for mounting two servos.

WILLOW-SORWillow SOR F3F 2.75m� The {b,Willow SOR F3F} is an updated version of the well regarded Willow F3F racer designed by Ian Mason. This 2.75 m span model has solid F3F credentials and is designed for typical European conditions, however it is made to a high standard in the Far East at a very economic price. Flying qualities, structural strength, fit and finish are all excellent.
The objective of the Willow SOR F3F is to create an affordable F3F plane that can give a lot of fun when sport flying, but still very capable in F3F racing events, allowing newcomers to this category to give it a try.
The Willow SOR is made to a high standard. The surface finish is as good as top rated manufacturer's planes. The design has been optimised to create a forgiving, easy to fly model that excels in high speed and high G flight.
The fuselage is glass with carbon reinforcements and features a large access hatch for easy installation of the RC. The attractive carbon canopy hatch RC has wire retaining springs ready fitted. The tail pushrod outers are bonded in place.
The two piece wings are nicely molded giving a high gloss finish. The wings are available in Full Carbon and Carbon DBox layups. Available in carbon Dbox and Full Carbon layups. The Dbox version is recommended for sports flying and the Full Carbon version for F3F racing and fully ballasted high speed runs in BIG air. The skins are very strong to minimise hanger rash and are bonded to a substantial carbon spar. The wings include openings for the flap and aileron servos and the aileron/flap control horns are supplied. Each wing root also includes spaces for extra ballast to be fitted.
Get one of these rare models at an excellent price. There is no catch, this is a high quality all molded 3 m class F3F racer for the price of a 2 m sports model. It is a superb sports sloper as well as a good entry-level racer.
Supplied with all pushrods and control linkages and a 16 mm ID ballast tube.

^ � X � � � � � � � � � � � � z <� `�/i ���b� GM12X8GM 12x8 Folding prop blades� A pair of very high quality {b,GM 12 x 8 folding prop blades}, suitable for HyperFlight's and other makes of folding prop yokes and spinners. The photos show the similar GM 13 x 8 blades but this product has 12" (30.5 cm) diameter by 8" (20 cm) pitch blades.
These blades are thinner (they have a higher aspect ratio) than normal folding propeller blades, allowing larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. They are also engineered to fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag when folded than other props. See photos 3 and 4 for a visual comparison of GM, RF and Aeronaut props, kindly produced by Andre Jeber Demetrio.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

� � � � � � � � � � � � 2 O z� c.O�2 ��b�� GREMLIN Gremlin 1.5m� The {b,Gremlin 1.5m} is a lovely 60" slope soarer that flies beautifully in most wind conditions. A great model for mad 3D aerbatics and general fun flying. It has a good speed range and is extremely manouverable.
{b, Wings}
The optimized sections will let you go from extreme aerobatics, through big air, graceful manoeuvres down to really slow landing speeds with the flaps down. Large ailerons, large flaps and a semi elliptical wing plan form each add to the overall performance of the sailplane.
{b, Aeroic Sine Wave Spar}
Used in several military aircraft, the Sine Wave Spar has been adapted for the first time to make up the heart of a model sailplane wing, and has frankly amazed us with its low weight, and ultra high strength. Unlike a conventional spar the Sine Wave Spar adds terrific torsional strength and yet actually weighs considerably less than the older non-optimized spar. Now used in all ACAP sailplanes, the Sine Wave Spar is a lighter and far stronger upgrade that raises the technology level yet another notch.
{b, Fuselage}
The beautifully contoured fuse is deep, and balanced front to back to give the side area required for some aerobatic manoeuvres. Its strong, light, and stiff with Carbon/Kevlar. Electronics area is 2.4 GHz friendly with access to the radio and ballast through a conventional slide-on hatch type canopy. The long nose area provides plenty of space to easily balance the model without resorting to shoehorning lead in every nook and cranny.
Snakes or rear mounted direct servos can be used for Rudder/Elevator control. These are all positioned to take the �head scratching� out of installing the radio gear and to allow the use of standard 19/20mm round ballast slugs, 10 of them if you need them, which added to the optional ballast in the wings allows more than 1.5kg capability!
The rudder is designed large enough to be effective for both aerobatics and slow landing speeds. Wing stub fairings with location dowel holes finish the fuselage. An added advantage is that it�s extremely easy to convert to electric.
{b, Tailplane}
At 10%, the tail sailplane section is thicker than is the norm but the infinitesimal increase in drag is easily offset by the increased control response for less deflection. To increase the efficiency, pitch control is accomplished by using an elevator. The elevator is driven by either an optional ball raced bell crank from a servo in the fuse, or a servo can be placed in a hatch through the fin to give solid elevator control. The tails remain removable for convenient transport or storage.
{b, Production}
In addition to the supplied ballast tube the kit accessory bag includes the fuselage servo tray, four plastic servo mounting frames (designed to take larger 30 mm x 35 mm wing servos), good quality metal wing clevises and pushrods, and colour coded hatch covers. The fuselage is fitted with two nice carbon pushods. The elevator servo can be fitted in the fin to simplify the installation, or in the front of the fuse to help with the CG. In the later case rthe customer will need to supply a belcrank to operate the all flying tail. In both cases the customer will need to supply the tail linkage hardware. The cut outs in the fuselage servo tray are for servos with a body footprint of 23 mm x 12 mm.

What makes this very special is that a coil spring is included to offset the pull of the control surface spring, so the servo is not under strain all the time. This increases servo longevity, servo performance and reduces current draw, increasing battery life too.
A very clever solution to a difficult problem, showing what a great engineer Vladimir is.
Two pulleys and coil springs are included.
Note these are not intended for DLG use, as the torque springs used on discus launched gliders are not strong enough to cause the KST X08 any difficulties. These are intended for larger models/control surfaces that require stronger springs.

This spinner will only fit onto motors with an M5 threaded motor shaft. There is no grub screw to hold the spinner into place, it has to be screwed onto the motor shaft.
Now available with the cones pre-cut to suit either the VM 6x4 or the Grp CAM 6x3 blades. Either spinner can be used with any blade once the plastic cone has been trimmed to suit, but if you know which blades you will be using it is best to get the appropriate spinner.

Plastic, steel b��� � ���b�� BMS-207WV5Blue Bird BMS-207WV Servo - 7.5Kg.cm 0.05s 17.5g 12mm� The {b,Blue Bird BMS-207WV } is fast, and have amazing high torque, making it a great servo for most RC applications. Weighing 17.5 g, and 12 mm thick, it is perfect for RC planes and gliders. At 8.4V the BMS-207WV's torque is still a very impressive 7.5 kg.cm while having an amazing speed of 0.05 seconds per 60� of movement. These are very impressive speed and torque figures for such a small and well priced servo, making it good for most applications. It is suitable for all control surfaces and especially flaps on F5J models, most gliders wingspan and many RC sports models and helicopters. At 12 mm thick it is suitable for mounting in small fuselages and thin wings and tails.
The {b,WV} in the name stands for Wide Voltage, indicating that this servo has wide range of acceptable supply voltages and is suitable for 1S LiPo, 4 or 5 cell NiMH and 2S LiPo operation.
The {i,Blue Bird BMS-207HV} is a great servo and uses the same technology as the new BMS 125/126/125 range of servos. It is similarly precise, with no free play in the geartrain, and it is even more powerful and faster than the smaller servos. The large output spline is identical to Futaba 25 tooth splines, so replacement output arms are readily available.

The model is supplied fully built and superbly covered, but does not include any RC. It is available with either an electric or a glider fuselage - see the {i,Fuselage} option below the {i,Colour} option.
Like the Circle Dancer 3000 and 3600 models it is expertly constructed, and beautifully covered in Oracover Light. By the time you have added in the covering and glue costs it is not much more expensive than one of the build-it-yourself-in-a-few-months kits.
The fuselage consists of a wooden pod with a large access hatch ready-fitted with securing magnets. At the font of the glider version the beautifully carved nose block has been hollowed to take lead shot nose weight. The front of the electric version's pod has a ply 33 mm diameter firewall with holes ready drilled on 14 mm and 19 mm diameters. Inside the pod a plywood tray has been installed for screwing the rudder and elevator servos too. The servos can be up to 24 mm long by 12 mm wide. The pod includes nuts to take the wing mounting screw and fittings to take the supplied adjustable tow hook. The carbon tailboom cleverly slides into the rear of the pod and locates into a rear bulkhead. A pylon for mounting the tailplane is molded into the rear of the tailboom, together with flats for the fin to be glued to. The tailboom also has been fitted with low friction plastic pushrod outer tubes and wire pushrods.
The all balsa fin includes a large rudder for good directional control. The tailplane is similarly constructed and both are attractively shaped, giving the model a charming look.
The wing centre panel incorporates a substantial spruce spar and top surface forward sheeting to minimise drag. The centre panel incorporates a large spoiler for accurate landing and safely exiting strong thermals. The spoiler servo can be up to 10 mm thick. The ends of the centre panel have magnets built in to keep the tip panels in place. The tip panels are more lightly built and use front riblets to help maintain the correct forward airfloil shape. The tip panels are attached to the centre panel with a beautifully molded carbon dihedral brace.
The accessory pack includes the adjustable tow hook (glider version), control surface horns and other small fittings. The spoiler is designed to be actuated by a long spoiler servo output arm. The tail surfaces are intended to be connected directly to the wire pushrods with L bends. No clevises are supplied or needed in our opinion, but a keeper will be required to ensure the L bends don't become detached. The carbon tailboom fairing visible in some photos is not included in the current kit, as it contravened the German F3-RES rules. The current fuserlage is longer and does not need this part.
The only work required to finish the model is gluing the boom into the pod, the fin onto the end of the tailboom, the rudder and elevator horns and installing the RC. This should only take a couple of evenings.
The quality of the workmanship used for building and covering the model cannot be overstated. It really is a tour-de-force of balsa construction. In particular how the nose block is covered with no seems showing is beyond me. The covering job is beyond amazing.

The {b, Hawk RTF} is a great 1m mini DLG from Ukraine that is built beautifully and flies excellently. The Hawk 1m DLG launches high and has a good speed range. We now have some Hawks available almost ready to fly, with just the receiver and battery needing to be supplied by the buyer. These models all have the stronger and lighter spread carbon (SC) construction and KST X06 servos. All linkages and control horns have beautifully installed. Also the throwing blade has been expertly fitted to the left wing, making these models suitable for right-handed throwers (though a left-handed launcher could fit a throwing blade to the right wing also).
The SC Hawk version is supplied with a lighter Carboline spread carbon wing weighing 52 g. The SC model especially is exceptionally light, while also being strong and very rigid, allowing high launches. Still air times of 1:30 to 2 minutes can be obtained by strong launchers, and thermal performance and stability is good.
The SC Hawk's fuselage is a one piece (not pod and boom) design of oval cross section, with the front part made from 2.4GHz friendly glass, and the rear from spread carbon. There is an good sized access hatch on the top giving access to the RC installation. The aileron and tail servos are installed in the pod to minimise nose weight and yaw inertia. Due to the tight RC installation we do not normally recommend the Hawk for inexperienced modellers but this version with the servos installed is perfect for everyone.
The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) is bolted onto a small pylon molded into the underside of the boom, and the fin (vertical stabiliser) has a perfectly matching hole molded into it, enabling easy mounting onto the end of the tailboom.
The Hawk wing is solid molded with a glass or spread carbon skin over a CNC cut foam core. The wing has a good surface finish ensuring low drag and longevity. The ailerons are fabricated with a living hinge and the control horns and throwing blade have been expertly installed.
Some very nice sewn wing bags are available at a small extra cost. These will help avoid transport and storage damage, keeping the glider in top condition.
To connect the elevator use a servo tester or your transmitter to command full down elevator. Then pull on the elevator wire to expose the loop hidden in the tail mount pylon. Use tweezers or a little hook to pull the loop out of the pylon, then place it over the hook cut into the elevator control horn.

t � c/�f ���b�" PICO-SWITCH-RED3Pico Switch RED/F5J Backup System & Magnetic Switch\ The {b,PicoSwitch RED} is a lightweight battery backup system and magnetic switch and is ideal for RC gliders and F5J electric soarers. This device has two power inputs and allows the radio control gear to be powered from ether battery/power source. It is switched on and off by holding the supplied magnet close to the switch for three seconds.
The PicoSwitch RED has two standard RC (JR) sockets at the battery end. The receiver end is fitted with a standard RC (JR) plug, as used on servos.
If the switch is mounted under fuse skin the magnet can be outside and the switch inside, so the RC can be switched on without removing the access hatch. Careful firmware design ensures that stray magnetic fields cannot toggle the switch incorrectly.
The device defaults to {b,on} when first powered up - this safety feature means that if there is a brief voltage drop caused by a bad connection or low battery voltage the device will stay on when the voltage returns. It also means that the model can be flown if the magnet is lost, just unplug and re-plug the receiver battery to switch it on.
{b,The benefits of this backup system and magnetic RC on-off switch}
{bullet}
Backup facility will run the RC from the highest voltage power source.
Can be powered from 1S & 2S LiPo batteries, 4-6 cell NiMH batteries, and an ESC BEC.
Batteries/ESC can output different voltages, the RC will be powered rom the highest voltage source.
The lower voltage battery will not be reverse charged, so 1S LiPos can be safely used as the backup battery. This will allow a battery voltage telemetry warning to tell the pilot that the system has switched to the backup battery.
Clever firmware indicates when the switch is sensing the magnet to give instant feedback.
When switched on the LED flashes indicating the RC is now on.
The flashes are very brief to keep the switch's energy usage to a minimum.
The magnetic switch utilises a Hall Effect Sensor (no mechanical switching parts).
Safe and reliable :
Default to on - if the battery is disconnected and then reconnected the output will turn on every time.
The magnetic switch is programmed to ensure the magnet is over the sensor for 3 seconds without interruption and only then will it toggle the switch state.
Extremely resilient to magnetic interference due to the algorithm used.
{endbullet}
{b,Installation}
When the switch is plugged into the power supply for the first time the output will turn on and the LED will flash.
{bullet}
Place the switch as close to the fuselage or wing surface as possible.
Use a thin piece of double sided tape to hold the switch in place.
To locate the sensor simply sweep over the approximate sensor location area, when the Hall effect device sees the magnet the LED will turn solid on indicating the perfect position.
Use a marker pen and mark where the sensor is located.
{endbullet}
{b,Magnetic Switch Operation}
{bullet}
To turn the switch off place the supplied magnet over the sensor and the LED will light up continuously. Hold the magnet in place for 3 seconds without interruption. Tip: count 1, 1000, 2, 2000, 3, 3000.
To turn on the RC hold the magnet over the sensor again, keeping it still for three seconds, as above.
{endbullet}
Please ensure a full range check of the model is undertaken prior to use. The pack includes the switch and two small neodymium magnets - one needed plus a spare. It does not include the {pref, PICO-KEYFOB, Magnetic Keyfob and Lanyard} shown in the related products sidebar. To mount the magnet and make it more visible cut some balsawood to the required size, make a hole for the magnet, and cover it with sticky tape.

United Statesc.�* � ���b�� NRJ NRJ 1.5m DLG The {b,NRJ F3K} is a new competition model from Anton Ovcharenko of OA Composites, with aerodynamic design by Christophe Bourdon. An NJR piloted by Pierre Meunier recently won the Nancy Cup in France.
The NRJ F3K project benefits from Anton and Christophe's vast experience of flying F3K events throughout Europe. Christophe started with careful observation about different model formulas and he has created a design that has realised the best overall DLG performance in currently available designs. Old DLG pilots have seen the impressive evolution in model weights, aspect ratios, speed range, launch height and of course manufacturing technologies. The {b,NRJ} (pronounced {i,Energy}) synthesises these improvements into a new state of the art model.
The {b,NRJ} flight style can be summarised as easy handling, excellent glide angle, good in slow speed situations, wide speed range, the ability to fly in wind without ballast due to keeping its energy so well. You can fly across large areas of sink and turbulences with improved stability, saving precious altitude. The combined structural optimisations (including one of the thinnest fuselages) and aerodynamic refinements result in a glider that uses the very minimum amount of energy, allowing longer flights more consistently from the launch and thermal energy available.
{I, Aerodynamics}
Christophe Bourdon�s analysis is that in thermal flight, and for discus launched gliders in particular, we don't need so much camber on our airfoils. Camber consumes energy, wasting it in increased profile drag. As improving building technologies allow us to build lighter and lighter models it is logical to reduce the average airfoil camber and it is useful to morph the foils in other ways to tweak their shapes and lift-drag polars, especially at the wing tips with their critical lowest Reynolds number. Successfully achieving well attached flow at the tips has resulted in very forgiving handling qualities over the entire flight range, and especially very good slow flight and thermal climb capabilities.
The airfoil series has a thickness of 6.0% at the root down to 5.2% at the tips, with a good elliptic lift distribution, with no washout required. The airfoils were designed to keep the wing twisting moment (Cm) low and for it to change smoothly between speed and thermal flight conditions. This choice allows the glider�s speed to be changed easily without losing energy which is very useful in changeable flight conditions.
{I, Easy To Fly With High Performance}
Because the well designed wing has smooth transitions from high speed to high lift working points the glider handles very progressively and is easier to tune to the pilot�s preferences. Also the flying techniques for obtaining full performance can be learned quickly and easily, even by average fliers.
The generous 7 degree dihedral allows small RC inputs to be used when maintaining thermal turns, minimising control drag. The special wing tip shape was chosen to help make the model more recognizable and thus easier to fly in crowded thermals as often found in competitions.
The NRJ may surprise some pilots because the wing working points were implemented in a unique way. However once the pilot adjusts to this flying becomes very natural and more relaxing than most high performance DLGs.
{I, Kit Description}
The NRJ fuselage is very thin, to reduce weight and drag. However it conveniently incorporates a slip-on nosecone and a large opening for the RC. Instaling the radio gear is made even easier by the 3D printed servo mount. This is designed for KST X08 servos, though other servos can be fitted with a little extra work. The fuselage is carbon from the opening rearwards, but the very front is made from 2.4 Ghz friendly material so the receiver antennas can be safely installed internally. The rear of the fuselage has an underslung tail pylon ready molded in place. The fin and tailplane are extremely lightweight molded spread carbon jobs, and like the wing have an excellent surface finish.
The wings are beautifully molded with a thin airfoil, and large ailerons. Considering the light weigh it is very rigid and has a good finish. It is available in Light (CW40), Standard (CW40), and Strong (CW60) and ultra-strong Samurai layups. A ballast set is available for extending the performance envelope of the glider. The Light layup should only be flown with a max of 40 g of ballast, the Standard up to 60 g, and the Strong and Samurai can take the full 98 g load.
The NRJ kit includes these accessories: 3D printed servo mount for 4 X08 servos, throwing blade, all control horns, and pushrods, wire for tail torque springs, pull cord wire and crimps, wing and tail screws. See the {file,NRJ-buiding-instructions-F3Klaus-20200411.pdf, NRJ Build Manual 2020} and the {file,NRJ-EN-instructions-2019.pdf, NRJ Build Instructions 2019} for build info.

A beautiful set of wing and tail bags for the NRJ DLG. The covers will protect the surfaces from physical damage and from solar radiation which can warp and weaken naked carbon structures, even in northern climates.
The bags are made from aluminised Mylar covered foam with a coloured fabric (canvas-like) edging and pocket ends. The wing bags include a Velcro area for attaching both halves together.

At 8.4V the BMS-125WV's torque is a massive 6.2 kg.cm. The speed is slightly compromised but is still 0.09 seconds per 60� of movement. It is suitable for all control surfaces on ligher F5J models and most gliders up to 4 m wingspan. At 10 mm thick it is suitable for mounting in small fuselages and thin wings and tails.
The {b,WV} in the name stands for Wide Voltage, indicating that this servo has wide range of acceptable supply voltages and is suitable for 1S LiPo, 4 or 5 cell NiMH and 2S LiPo operation.
The {i,Blue Bird BMS-125HV} is a great servo built to the same space saving form factor as the MKS DS6100 and MKS HV6100. It is similarly precise, with no free play in the geartrain, and it is much more powerful and faster than the competing products. The large output spline is identical to Futaba 25 tooth splines, so replacement output arms are readily available. Note the output spline is not the same as MKS so the servo cannot be used with most MKS accesories.
Although it looks like the {i,BMS-105HV} the {i,BMS-125 WV} uses new components and an improved internal design and does not suffer the longevity problems that affected some high hours BMS-105 installations.

It uses a magnetic contactless position sensor which will never wear out and thus removes the major failure mode of my most RC servos. The case of the {b,-V} version incorporates two {b,horizontal mounting lugs} for secure mounting in wings and tail services.
Despite being only 10 mm thick the M15V�s torque and speed are both very high making it suitable for all control surfaces on fast gliders and jets. The voltage range goes from 4.5V up to 8.5V, making it perfect for use from electronic speed controls (ESC), 4.8V NiMH or 2S Lipo batteries. The high-quality metal gears are supported on two ball bearings and the servo is driven by a high-quality coreless DC motor. The black case is anodised aircraft grade aluminium alloy, not plastic.
The large output spline is identical to Futaba 25 tooth splines, so replacement output arms are readily available.

[ � � � F� � � � � � � � !� b�?~ s ���b�� ELF-SPIN-PWRSET(Lightweight Electric Glider Powerset 17g� The VM Lightweight Electric Glider Powerset consists of a pair of 4.2x2.3 VM folding prop blades in a special 25 mm spinner ready mounted onto a tiny SunnySky 110X outrunner motor that fits inside the spinner. To this a speed control running BLHeli32 firmware has been expertly soldered. The battery connector on the ESC is a Mini JST red BEC socket but this can be replaced if necessary.
The speed control has been modified to optionally output 5V or unregulated 2S LiPo battery voltage to the receiver and thus servos.
As supplied the ESC outputs the unregulated 2S Lipo battery voltage (approx 8.2V initially unloaded). This is good when using high voltage servos, and especially if using receiver voltage telemetry, as you can see/hear the battery voltage on the transmitter. On the other hand if you are using normal voltage servos you will need to extricate the wire marked 8.4V and insert the wire marked 5V into the RC plug.
The prop/motor/ESC is suitable for 2S LiPo batteries only with a capacity between 150 mAh and 450 mAh.
The total weight of this power set is 16.7 g (0.59 oz).
Mounted using 4 pcs M2 screws (supplied) on a 9 mm diameter.
The speed control will overheat if full power is used for more than approx 5 seconds. We recommend that the throttle channel travel is reduced to 60% on the transmitter to limit the current and avoid overheating.
DO NOT CONDUCT STATIC POWER TESTS.

The VM F5K/Snipe 2e power set consists of a pair of 6x3 CAM folding prop blades in a VM 25 mm spinner ready mounted onto a LDARC XT1806 2500 RPM/V racing outrunner. To this a KS 30A speed control running BLHeli32 firmware has been expertly soldered. The battery plug on the ESC is an XT30 but this can be replaced if necessary
Update: Jan 2021: the speed control used now has a 5V 2A BEC circuit to allow normal 5V servos to be used. The BLHeli32 settings on the one we checked were as in the last photo.
The total weight of this power set is 33.7 g (1.2 oz). It is highly recommended for the VM Snipe 2e model.
We suggest that a 2S LiPo battery with a capacity between 300 mAh and 600 mAh is used. Vladimir's Models recons they can be used on a 3S LiPo but this is pushing them very far and risks overheating the motor. We do not guarantee the powerset on this voltage.
{b,The supplied M2 motor mounting bolts are too long and can protrude into the motor and damage the windings when using a thin firewall. Either shorten the bolts or use washers to avoid this.}

To this a 30A speed control running BLHeli32 firmware has been expertly soldered. The battery plug on the ESC is an XT30 but this can be replaced if necessary
The special thing about the PowerNose is that the motor is fully enclosed inside the lengthened spinner, so the complete powerset mounts in front of a 28 mm diameter firewall. This makes modifying DLGs or other small gliders to electric extremely easy. Just cut off the nose, install a 28mm diameter firewall, make a 12mm x 5mm opening for the ESC, and bolt the PowerNose in place. Very low drag, no soldering, no worry about outrunner wires, no messing.
The total weight of this power set is 35.4 g (1.25 oz).

� � f � � �`� � � � � � � � � ^� b�� � @��`� MAGNUSMagnus Slope Racer 1.5mA Designed by UK expert modeller Jonathan Wells the {b,Magnus} is a tough high performance 1.5m (60") all molded glass and carbon fast sports slope glider that has a great speed range and forgiving handling characteristics. The model looks fantastic with a good surface finish and a practical easy to fit-out design. An {pref,MAGNUS-E,electric hotliner} version is also available.
The two piece wing is available in glass and carbon layups. The glass version has a fair amount of carbon and is very strong. The full carbon version is about 50g heavier and is extremely strong and rigid and will be ideal for DSing on the backface. The wings are kept in place with a very substantial carbon joiner. The tailplane is removable making the model very easy to store and transport. The fuselage is glass with carbon reinforcement and is a very sleek design. The large canopy hatch gives great access to the long nose, making for a very easy RC installation and easy balancing. There is some space under the wing for ballast, and also pockets approx 20mm x 8mm x 100mm are molded into the wing roots for more ballast (not supplied).
The complete accessory pack includes all pushrods, ply wing servo mounts (for X08 family servos), control horns, a ply elevator fuselage servo mount, and colour coded wing servo covers. See the link below the videos for English build instructions and this excellent {href, https://forum.alofthobbies.com/index.php?threads/magnus-build-thread-tjirc.1245,Magnus build log } by the designer.

See this great {href,http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=33829888&postcount=22,RCGroups} post for installation advice and tips. D � � � � � � � � � � � 2 V o� _>��� ���b�� NEUTRINOXNeutrino F5J 4mT The {b,Neutrino F5J} is a lightweight 4m electric soarer from JIM Aero. It has excellent performance and can be broken down into small parts for easy transport, making it the perfect competition plane. Despite its F5J focus it is a very practical 4m electric glider with lots of room for easy RC and powertrain installation. The performance is excellent with several completion wins.
The fuselage is beautifully molded from chequerboard spread carbon. The nose section is long and has a large canopy hatch, giving good access to the front, and enabling a straight forward powertrain installation. There is ample room to install the rudder and elevator servos at the rear of the canopy hatch opening, under the wing, or at the front of the dismountable tailboom. A firewall is supplied but not fitted to allow maximum flexibility for motor mounting. Also one of our {href, products.asp?search=Motor+Mount+-+32mm,32mm CNC aluminium mounts} could be used.
The long tailboom is another lightweight chequerboard spread carbon molding that plugs into the fuselage nose section. It has provisions at its front for mounting the rudder and elevator servos. The tailplane is mounted on a short pylon that is bonded to the top of the boom.
The lightweight spread carbon fin slips into premade holes in the tailboom and can also be dismounted for easy transport. The large spread carbon tailplane only weighs 30g. It has a separate elevator for good pitch response and bolts to tail pylon.
The four piece spread carbon over a Rohacel cored wing boasts an excellent finish and has the attractive Neutrino name and logo painted on the top surface, and contrasting colour and white underside stripes. The airfoil section is very thin, and the control surfaces are large and rigid, giving the model an excellent speed range and a low min sink for calm days.
The complete accessory bag contains a firewall, servo mounts, a partially made wiring harness and control linkages.
The very first versions of the Neutrino had a rather short front fuselage which resulted in nose weight being required to obtain the correct the CG. This has now been corrected and the nose has been lengthened (and the tail moment reduced) by about 5 cm which just about solves the issue, so long as the rudder and elevator servos are located in the nose. Alternatively it is possible to locate them in the front of the detachable tailboom to allow the fuselage to be easily disassembled without trim changes. In this format the rudder and elevator servos are behind the CG and an approx 50g heavier powertrain or battery will be required for balance. The supplied pushrods are for aft mounted tail servos. We recommend two {pref, BOWDEN-CABLE-13-2, 1.3mm Bowden Cables} if you intend to use front mounted servos.

X08-PULLEY#Pulley For KST X08 & X06 Servos (4)� These pulleys fit the output spline of all KST X08 and KST X06 servos. They allow the servo to be used most easily with DLG pull-spring control runs. They are better than using the supplied KST output arm because they are more compact and give a more linear control throw and force.

The designer Oleg Golovidov shared that the Falcon's design was inspired the fabled XX-Lite from Kristof. Since flying that plane Oleg wanted to design and build a plane with a slim wing, a huge launch, and fast legs, but more 'floaty' and not quite as extreme as XX-Lite. This meant a slightly larger wing chord than XX-Lite, but smaller than the NXT. The fuselage was designed with a four servos in the pod layout as that allowed for a thinner wing without compromising the airfoil or the structure of the wing. This also makes installing the RC a lot easier and quicker.
The flight tests confirmed the primary design goals. The plane launches straight and very high. The flight speed is relatively fast, as it should be for a narrow wing plane. But when cambered up the plane 'grabs' the air extremely well and circles tight without any hesitation. The Falcon DLG is super friendly and allows even pilots with low experience levels to extract maximum performance.
The model is fabricated by HQ Composites to an good standard. The quality of the parts is excellent. The fit and finish are superb. You have to see the plane to really appreciate how nice and shiny the surfaces are.
The model is all spread carbon composite construction. The fuselage is a very nice design with a good sized pod for easy instillation of the RC. Additionally underneath a ballast tunnel is built-in, to allow weights to be added easily when flying in windy conditions. The fuselage also features recesses to partially fair in the aileron horns. This ia a great innovation, featuring the simplicity of external aileron horns together with most of the drag saving of internal horns and pushrods.
The wing is beautifully molded from spread carbon with solid core construction, and a good surface finish. The wing aerodynamics are based on the Gerald Taylor's Synergy airfloil family modified to work at the lower wing chords of this high aspect ratio design.
The fin and tailplane are substantial and again nicely finished.
The very complete accessory bag contains a very strong launch blade, all control horns, torque springs for the tail surfaces, pull cord wire and two servo trays, for four KST X08 or four MKS DS75K or HV75K servos. Also some inastallations have used BMS 101 servos.

Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

� `��`�� DREAM-2Dream 2.0 Slope Soarer - 2mP
The {b, Dream 2.0} is a hot new 2m slope soarer. This model is nicely finished with great graphics. The Dream 2.0 has a good speed range and very nice handling qualities.
The Dream 2 glider fuselage is sleek and has a good sized canopy hatch. The fuselage has the rudder and elevator pushrods ready-installed, with 1.8mm carbon pushrods. The rear of the elevator pushrod is already connect to the nicely engineered bell crank that actuates the all-flying tail. The fin incorporates an access hatch for maintenance, should this ever be required.
The two part wing is has a high quality finish and is of hollow molded construction. The through-fuselage wing joiner is very substantial and imparts just one degree of dihedral per panel, ensuring good aerobatic performance and an attractive look in the air. The wing has generous sized access hatches for the flap and aileron servos which can be up to 10 mm thick. The wing is available in glass and carbon layups. The carbon version is a very strong very heavy layup which should hold up well to the rough and tumble of slope flying.
The supplied accessories include all control horns, four plywood wing servo frames (for KST X10 or similar sized servos), and clevises and control rods for the flap and aileron connections. Also included ins a plywood fuselage servo mounting tray for 25mm x 12mm body sized servos (eg KST MS320, KST X12-508, KST DS215MG). No build manual is available but assembly is straight-forward. Note that although the surface finish is generally good the fit and finish of the model is not up to that of a top price European model. Small bumps and fit problems are normal at this price-point.

It is fast! We previously listed it as Tiny Q.
The kit consist of a very nicely molded glass and carbon one piece wing and pod. The attractively shaped fin is also molded and fits into a slot in the rear of the pod. A little fettling may be required to get it to slide into place smoothly. A nosecone molding and a carbon firewall are also supplied. Either one of these should be fitted depending on whether the model is built as a slope soarer or an electric racer . The firewall is about 33 mm diameter so it should be possible to mount 28 mm outrunner motors without too much difficulty.
A complete accessory pack is supplied including elevon pushrods with clevises, plywood servo mounts suitable for KST X08 servos, and carbon control horns and servo covers.
Note this model is quite highly loaded and is not suitable for less experienced modellers. Don't forget to reflex the elevons 2mm and start with a forward CG and launch over long grass until the trim has been dialled-in.

MKS-HV747R4MKS HV747R High Torque Wing Servo - 15mm 38g 15Kg.cm� The {b,MKS HV747R High Torque Wing Servo} is designed for glider control surfaces and is perfect for many high performance gas, jet, and electric RC planes. This -R version of the popular HV747 servo has mounting lugs in the plane of the case, making it suitable for wing (or tail surface) mounting. The speed, strength and precision of the HV747R is astonishing.
The gear train uses a new type of gear structure, giving negligible backlash and an even longer service life. The MKS HV747R is powered by a substantial 12 mm diameter x 20 mm long high eficiency coreless DC motor, and can operate with supplies from 5.5V to 8.4V, allowing the servo to be operated safely from an unregulated 2S LiPo battery. The feedback mechanism uses a 9mm VR ultra high resolution potentiometer, to ensure the servo moves very accurately, and holds its position 100% when adverse torque is applied.

10 cm x 5 cm x 2 cm Rohacel foam core
10 cm unique VM hinge repair material
3 m carbon tow/roving 1600 TEX for spar repair and local reinforcement.
{endbullet}
{b,Wing 1 min repair}
Cut the DLG wing front to the size of the hole with scissors and tape it around the hole with strong self-adhesive tape.
{b,Wing 15 min repair}
Cut the DLG wing front to the size of the hole with scissors. Sand the d-box inside with sandpaper for better adhesion. Sand a place for d-boxing on the wing for better adhesion. Glue the d-box with glue (CA or epoxy).
{b,VM hinge repair material}
It is unique combination of Kevlar hinge material and ultra-high module carbon.
The material has a scratch in the carbon in hinge place already.
- cut a strip about 10 mm long with scissors;
- glue the strip to the repair spot (Kevlar side to the wing) with CA glue (superglue). Make sure scratch in the carbon is exactly matches the flap hinge.
- Break the glue inside the Kevlar in the hinge area and move a new hinge several time by hand. (it is advisable to disconnect the servo rod)
{b,Carboline SC39 2/45}
- Pre-restore the geometry of the wing using Rohacell or other material.
- Mark the repair spot with paper tape so that the rest of the wing will be not dirty. And cut a piece of Carboline preform 5mm smaller than the marked spot.
- Apply epoxy resin to the repair spot.
- Put the preform on top of the resin at the repair site. Use your finger to push the entire area of the preform so that the resin impregnates carbon completely. If necessary, add resin from the outside.
- Soak out excess resin with a paper towel. It should seem to you that the carbon is completely dry.
- cover the area with polythene sheet (not supplied) and apply pressure if possible to give a smooth shiny surface. Remove after epoxy sets.
- If desired, after the resin polymerization, fill and paint the repair spot, but this will add a lot of weight. � ' � � � � � � � � � � � 6� c �5 o ��b�� BLS-2112"Blue Bird BLS-2112 Brushless Servo� Blue Bird BLS-2112 Brushless Servo

This increases flexibility, fatigue resistance, and possibly improves conductivity over fewer thicker conductors. This medium lightweight cable is still lighter than most wiring harness cables.
Twisted extension leads suffer less from interference from other RF sources, reducing servo chatter and other RC problems. They also radiate less electromagnetic noise, reducing the likelihood of the extension leads causing interference.

The pylon racer is very nicely molded with a strong wing spar and a massive battery compartment, which will allow 4S 2Ahr batteries, or even larger to be fitted with ease. Performance is very good, very straight at high speed, very nice high speed glide, and a reasonable landing speed with the flaps down. The aerodynamic shape is good. The model looks like a scaled up Sergey Sobokin Stinger Speed 400 pylon racer, which indicates a good heritage.
Note the Knife originally had centrally mounted aileron servos and was called Knief, but now has wing mounted servos and a less confusing name. :-)

X-Dream 2m� The {b,X-Dream} is a built-up laser cut balsa and ply kit designed for the new F3-RES high-start launched 2m Rudder-Elevator-Spoiler glider class popular in Germany and Austria.
The {b,X-Dream} is the very latest development of Alois Janowetz, the designer of the X-RES, Minores, Desire 2 - the top models of the 2018 and 2019 seasons in Austria and Germany. The new X-Dream is even lighter and performs even better.
The X-Dream has well harmonised flight characteristics and amazing performance. Despite the compettion-optimised design the model is agile and extremely easy to fly. The simple yet strong design and the brilliant use of weight-optimized materials allows a flying weight as low as 380g and thus a wing loading of only 10.6 g/dm2 (3.5 oz/sq ft), resulting in very low sink rates.
The large 2-part spoilers allow almost vertical descents without an increase in speed. The wing separates into three panels and the tailplane is removable making the model very easy to transport.
The laser cut kit has very simple and robust construction. Apart from the 6 mm carbon fibre wing joiners and the CF all moving tailplane mount the model is built from selected and optimized laser cut balsa and plywood. The model can be built very quickly using cyanoacrylate superglue, white glue or 5-minute epoxy. Oralight covering is recommended. An adjustable tow hook is standard and is included in the kit, as are the servo linkages. The kit includes a colour plan and comprehensive instructions, in German only. See the {b,More detals} heading below for links to the German manual and an English translation.

�� Plastic, copper, steel, nickelTaiwanb�� � @��`�+ MAGIC"Magic 2 Allround and SuperLight 2m� The {b,Magic 2 Allround} and {b,Magic 2 Superlight} have built up a cult following in Turkey and Eastern Europe. You only have to watch some of the {href, https://www.facebook.com/salahi.tezel/videos/3160655740648725/, hand launch videos} (via Facebook unfortunately) to see this is no ordinary model, it has an exceedingly low sink rate and an excellent glide angle. The {b,Magic 2} shows that well engineered built up models can equal and even exceed the best composites, at least in low lift/low wind conditions. It really lives up to its name.
The {b,Magic 2 Allround} is designed to fly well in all conditions, from light airs to 15 mph winds. Designed by Salahi Tezel it was developed from the Magic Pro over 8 months and has an elliptical wing to minimise induced drag. By modifying the Drela AG24/25/26 airfoils and improving the wing structure the effect of the bumpiness of film covered wings was mitigated, reducing local flow separations. This improved the performance and flying characteristics, enabling easy and tight circles even in small and weak thermals. The Magic 2 Allround has a flying weight of about 410 g (14.5 oz) and has ballast provision to allow flight in higher winds.
The {b,Magic Superlight} version is designed for up to 10 mph winds has a flying weight as low as 345 g (12.2 oz), an amazing weight for a model with a wing area of 33.8 dm2 (524 sq in). The structure of the {i, Super Light} version is the same as the {i, Allround}, with the weight reduction apparently coming from lighter wood selection and covering.
Both models use carbon fibre tubular spars and tailbooms to simplify construction and minimise weight. The three piece wings have two riblets between each full rib to almost eliminate covering sag. The wing has two spoilers to reduce the trim change when applying brakes, and the large spoiler area allows almost vertical descents, stopping the possibility of fly-aways and allowing easily controlled spot landings.
The substantial fuselage is constructed from 3 mm balsa and plywood. The tailboom is a 9 mm carbon tube, ready slotted for fitting the fin and tailplane mounts. All servos are placed in the pod with the control surfaces actuated using pull-springs.
The tailplane uses a carbon spar for lightness and rigidity and is mounted on a lightweight fitting attached to the boom. Both the tailplane and fin are detachable for easy transport.
The kit consists of balsa and ply parts, a well drawn plan, and all accessories apart from RC, glue and covering material. We recommend Oracover Light covering is used.

These quality blades are made from injection molded carbon fibre reinforced plastic to a very innovative design.
Aero design is by Julian Benz who specially optimised them for F5J 3m - 4m gliders. Their unusual shape enables them to fold flat against a glider fuselage, reducing glide drag. Despite not being hand made from epoxy resin and carbon cloth/rovings like most of the high quality props we sell these blades are light, highly efficient, and can cope with high power setups.
Note this product consists of two propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

{endbullet}
{b,Wing D-box 1 min repair}
Cut the D-box to the size of the hole with scissors and tape it around the hole with strong self-adhesive tape.
{b,Wing D-box 15 min repair}
Cut the D-box to the size of the hole with scissors. Sand the d-box inside with sandpaper for better adhesion. Sand a place for d-boxing on the wing for better adhesion. Glue the d-box with glue (CA or epoxy).
{b,VM hinge repair material}
It is unique combination of Kevlar hinge material and ultra-high module carbon.
The material has a scratch in the carbon in hinge place already.
- cut a strip about 10 mm long with scissors;
- glue the strip to the repair spot (Kevlar side to the wing) with CA glue (superglue). Make sure scratch in the carbon is exactly matches the flap hinge.
- Break the glue inside the Kevlar in the hinge area and move a new hinge several time by hand. (it is advisable to disconnect the servo rod)
{b,Carboline SC39 2/45}
- Pre-restore the geometry of the wing using Rohacell or other material.
- Mark the repair spot with paper tape so that the rest of the wing will be not dirty. And cut a piece of Carboline preform 5mm smaller than the marked spot.
- Apply epoxy resin to the repair spot.
- Put the preform on top of the resin at the repair site. Use your finger to push the entire area of the preform so that the resin impregnates carbon completely. If necessary, add resin from the outside.
- Soak out excess resin with a paper towel. It should seem to you that the carbon is completely dry.
- cover the area with polythene sheet (not supplied) and apply pressure if possible to give a smooth shiny surface. Remove after epoxy sets.
- If desired, after the resin polymerization, fill and paint the repair spot, but this will add a lot of weight. � ' � � � � � � � � � � � 4� b�] � ���b� SN2E-FIN'Snipe 2e & Yoda Electric Fin and RudderE Replacement fin and rudder for the Snipe 2e and Yoda Electric models. b � 7 � � P� � � � � � � � � :� c/=T , ��b� OAC-COMP-REPAIR-KIT'DLG & Small Glider Composite Repair Kit� The {b, DLG & Small Glider Composite Model Repair Kit} is a very comprehensive pack of composite materials to facilitate the repair of many composite RC models, but particularly smaller DLG and F3K type gliders and rocket gliders.

Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

These blades are thinner (they have a higher aspect ratio) than normal folding propeller blades, allowing larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. The reduced twist (flatness) also allows them to fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag when folded than other props. The flatness does reduce the efficiency slightly, but this is more than offset by the improved glide.

The Firebird has a highly optimized wing planform and completely new and improved wind tunnel tested aerofoils. Slimmed down from previous designs as servo technology has improved and become more widely available, the layout has enough room to allow plenty of ballast in the Fuselage, while the operating servos can be situated in the front radio bay or in the fin. Nicely engineered magnetically attached canopy and a fin hatches give good access to the RC.
As the model responds so well to aileron only input many fliers prefer the simplicity of aileron only for directional control and forgo the rudder. This simplifies the installation too. To this end the fuselage and fin molding can be supplied with or without a cut out and hinged rudder. See the options below the price.
Aerofoils:
The sections used are the most recent highly smoothed developments from James�s highly successful original aerofoil designs: These are really fast sections.
Wing:
Completely different from the previous design, and made possible by the revolutionary Sine Wave Spar that is now a feature of all Aeroic planes, the highly optimized wing planform has undergone a series of changes throughout the development and testing of the model resulting in the somewhat �radical� swept elliptical shape that we now see.
The descending thickness, optimally cambered sections will let you go from really slow landing speeds with the flaps down to heart stopping passes with a little reflex. Large ailerons, large flaps and the new wing plan form each add to the overall performance of the airframe.
Like all Aeroic planes, the �standard� wing is carbon type.
Horns are factory fitted with well thought out geometry to allow flush servo installation using 9mm or 10mm flap and 8mm aileron servos. Using conventional linkages, you can get a clean, practical and most importantly serviceable wing installation optimized to use full servo travel to give high torque and low slop.
Aeroic Sine Wave Spar:
Used in several military aircraft, which is actually Doc J�s designer background, the Sine Wave Spar has been adapted for the first time to make up the heart of a model sailplane wing, is a revolution with its low weight, and ultra high strength. Unlike a conventional spar the Sine Wave Spar adds terrific torsional strength and yet actually weighs considerably less than the older non-optimized �Box� type spars.
Now used in all Aeroic airframes, the Sine Wave Spar is lighter and far stronger than �conventional� spars and raises the level another couple of notches.
Fuselage:
The practical but curvaceous fuse is strong, light, and stiff with Carbon/Kevlar reinforcement and gives far more strength to the boom than most 60� models. Electronics area is 2.4 GHz friendly with access to the radio and ballast through a slip-on nose cone. The long nose area accentuates the rakish lines but also provides plenty of space to easily balance the model without resorting to shoehorning lead in every available crevice.
Snakes and/or rear mounted direct servos can be used for Rudder/Elevator control. These are all positioned to take the �head scratching� out of installing the radio gear.
Wing stub fairings with location dowel holes finish the fuselage with �green� Multiplex type connectors to connect the electronics pre routed.
Tailplane:
Here the aerofoils were specifically designed for Aeroic sailplanes and this time for maximum control response with minimum deflection. At 10%, the tail airframe section is thicker than is the norm but the infinitesimal increase in drag is easily offset by the increased control response for less deflection.
To further increase the efficiency, pitch control is accomplished by using an elevator. No wobbly all moving tail and the elevator is driven by either an optional ball raced bell crank from a servo in the fuse, or where ultimate control is required, a servo can be placed in a hatch through the fin to give solid elevator control. The tails remain removable for convenient transport or storage.
Production:
The Firebird has been designed with far greater capability potential than any average sports model, and this, coupled with the fact that like all Aeroic sailplanes the pre-production models underwent thorough testing, not only in flying performance, but also in making the installation straightforward and practical, leads to an airframe that is a snip to fit out, and flies like the true thoroughbred it is.
The model is supplied with a wiring harness and most accessories for connecting the servos. Also a very nice fuselage mounted ballast tube is supplied which takes 0.75" (20 mm) brass or lead slugs (not included).

The {b,Alpha 2.0} is a great 200 cm (79") span F5J electric thermal soarer for sports and competition modellers wanting a smaller model. It is very light, well designed, and built to a very high standard. The Alpha 2.0's advanced structural design ensures it is strong enough for its intended mission, and its finish, completeness and attention to detail is outstanding. The kit is very complete with all control conection accessories included.
Special features of this model include:
{bullet}
A well designed low drag fuselage with good underwing access for easy RC installation and maintenance.
A beautiful canopy hatch with magnetic fasteners for easy access to the powertrain and quick battery changes.
A high aspect ratio wing with Drela airfoils optimised for F5J flying - the wing excels in tight thermal turns, allowing the model to be confidently climbed away from small, weak thermals.
Despite its extremely good thermal performance the wings maintain a good L/D up to higher speeds, allowing the Alpha 2.0 to easily return from far downwind.
Superb quality of construction and attention to detail. The model had been constructed by master builders who must have invested hundreds of hours in each airframe. The level of finish achieved is very rare.
The wing breaks down into two pieces and the tailplane is easily removable, allowing the model to be easily transported to contests.

The model is supplied as a kit of CNC cut balsa, ply and carbon parts. The nicely drawn large full size plan includes English translations of all text. A brief photo-illustrated manual is avalable, but as the text is in Czech only the kit is more suitable for seasoned builders. Click on the following links to download the various manual sections: {file, Kridlo1 -popis.pdf, Wing assembly}, {file,Trup1 popis.pdf,Fuselage assembly}, {file,VOPSOP - popis.pdf,Tail assembly}, {file,Trup elektro-popis.pdf, Electric installation}
The fuselage consists of a wooden pod with a large access hatch ready-fitted with securing magnets. At the font a large nose block is hollow to take lead shot nose weight. Inside the pod a plywood tray is used for mounting the rudder and elevator servos. The servos can be up to 24 mm long by 12 mm wide. The pod includes nuts to take the wing mounting screw and fittings to take the supplied adjustable tow hook. The carbon tailboom cleverly slides into the read of the pod and locates into a rear bulkhead. A pylon for mounting the tailplane is molded into the rear of the tailboom, together with flats for the fin to be glued to. The tailboom also has been fitted with low friction plastic pushrod outer tubes and wire pushrods.
Although the fuselage is mainly intended for pure glider use the pod is quite large and it can easily be built as an electric glider, with a 30 mm or 32 mm spinner.
The all balsa fin includes a large rudder for good directional control. The tailplane is similarly constructed and both are attractively shaped, giving the model a charming look.
The wing centre panel incorporates a substantial spruce spar and top surface forward sheeting to minimise drag. The centre panel incorporates a large spoiler for accurate landing and safely exiting strong thermals. The spoiler servo can be up to 10 mm thick. The ends of the centre panel have magnets built in to keep the tip panels in place. The tip panels are more lightly built and use front riblets to help maintain the correct forward airfloil shape. The tip panels are attached to the centre panel with a beautifully molded carbon dihedral brace.
The accessory pack includes the adjustable tow hook, control surface horns and other small fittings. The spoiler is designed to be actuated by a long spoiler servo output arm. The tail surfaces are intended to be connected directly to the wire pushrods with L bends. No clevises are supplied or needed in our opinion, but a keeper will be required to ensure the L bends don't become detached. The carbon tailboom fairing and tail mount visible in some photos are not included in the current kit, as they contravened the German F3-RES rules. The current fuserlage is longer and does not need these parts.

The {b,Jolt 2} is a fast and substantial sport pylon racer. The surface finish is excellent and very thin high aspect ratio wing and cavernous fuselage to take a big motor and battery make this a very fast and impressive economy racer.
The fuselage tailboom and fin is a strong all carbon one piece molding. The under-wing battery compartment is a generous 13 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm. The wing is fixed by three M3 bolts with threaded hard points already installed in the fuselage. Note people usually fit the elevator servo under the rear wing hold down bolt.
The one piece wing is a massively strong all carbon affair with a substantial spar supplementing the bullet proof wing skins. The wing is very slim and even 8 mm thick aileron servos will stand proud of the skin. The wing has comparatively small 35 mm x 24 mm hatches for the aileron servos. No flap servo access hatch has been installed by the manufacturer so that will have to be done by the customer if the flapped version is selected.
The tailplane is a lightweight molding which fits an a slot in the rear of the fin. This was quite tight in our test model and may need sanding slightly to allow the tailplane to be slid into place. Gluing in the tailplane, the control horns, the firewall (supplied) and installing the RC is the only construction work required.
The only accessories supplied are bulged aileron servo covers, 2 aileron horns and a 30 mm firewall. The customer will need to supply the aileron linkages, elevator horn, tail pushrod, and flap horns and linkages for four servo wing versions. Note the nose is quite short and the tail moment arm is long, so it is worthwhile keeping the tail pushrod as light as possible. Also the fuse front is quite bulbous and when we fitted a prop for the photo shoot the blades would not fold completely when using either GM 30 mm or VM Pro 30 mm spinners. The blades folded reasonably well when using a GM 32 mm spinner with a GM 30 mm cone, but a larger yoke may be even better.

Edge F5J 3.8mt The {b,Edge F5J} is the new electric R/C glider from the Doroshenko works in Ukraine. They are the experts who produce the Euphoria and Simitri F3/F5J so you know the build quality is up with the very best.
The Edge is the most innovative thermal soarer for a long time, and to combine this with a very light and competitive F5J weight is extraordinary. Innovations include:
{bullet}
Cranked wingtips with connected two part ailerons, so they are both operated by a single aileron servo per side.
The fuselage pod incorporates a ballast holder with a very clever design.
The four piece wing and two part fuselage allows the model to fit into a box just 112 cm ( 44") long.
The tailboom incorporates front mounted tail servos (to help with CG and to minimise inertia) so that separating the fuselage pod from the tail does not affect the trim and only requires unplugging electrical connectors.
The tailplane incorporates elevators for quick and precise pitch control AND variable incidence so the trim drag can be eliminated.
Both tailplane incidence and elevator pushrods are pre-installed. The tailplane incidence can be fixed in place once you have determined your favourite position, connected to the elevator servo for max control authority, or connected to a separate servo to separate trimming from pitch control.
Internal flap and aileron LDS style pushrods are installed in the wing to speed construction and eliminate control connection drag. {endbullet}
The fuselage pod is a strong carbon structure with a ready-fitted 30 mm firewall. The flying surfaces are all solid molded spread carbon over Rohacel to ensure a robust, rigid model with a long-lasting high quality finish. All control connections are included in the complete accessory pack. Despite the high tech and state of the art design the Edge F5J is very easy and quick to finish.

ELF-PRO-EL6Elf Pro Electric 1m including powertrain and wing bags� The {b,Elf Pro Electric} is a new 1m electric from Vladimir's Models. Supplied with Vladimir's Models {pref, ELF-SPIN-PWRSET, Elf Pro El & Spin Powerset} and {pref, ELF-WING-BAG, Elf Wing Bags}. The Elf Pro is probably the most advanced and best flying composite/balsa 1m electric glider available anywhere.
This model requires a little construction and does not include the RC transmitter and receiver. It is not suitable for a beginner, and some thought will be required to get everything to fit in the limited pod space. We are not aware of any Sprektrum receiver that will fit. The models comes with a complete accessory pack and servo trays designed for KST X06, Blue Bird BMS-101DMG, Blue Bird BMS-101HV, Ripmax SD100, Help H47 or Dymond D47 servos. No other servo will fit easily.
The one piece wing uses free flight type construction techniques, to maximise strength and stiffness, and minimise weight. The wing�s front part is a beautifully molded carbon Dbox for good torsional strength and excellent aerodynamics. The substantial spar is made from carbon spar caps with vertical grain balsa shear webs. The balsa ribs are connected to the thin carbon trailing edge using carbon capstrips, and aft of the spar is covered with film.
The pod and boom fuselage uses attractive plastic moldings for the pod and removable nosecone. These are an excellent fit and follow the wing underside contour for a gap free fit. The tailboom is a tapered wrapped carbon tube with a pre-cut slot for the fin, and a flattened front section for mounting the R/C equipment. The fin is made from rigid foam with carbon spars and has smooth vac-bagged glass covering, and incorporates the rudder with a very free living hinge. The foam/carbon/glass tailplane has a separate elevator and is mounted above the boom using a tiny standoffs to minimise interference drag . All pushrods and accessories are included, only the R/C gear and minimal building equipment is required.
An instruction manual is not available but there is some useful info on the {href, http://f3j.in.ua/elf-pro-el.html?#tab2, manufacturer�s website}. Please don't try to order direct from VM, they will refer you back to us.
The model is suitable for use with 2S LiPo batteries only (not 3S or you may fry the RC) with capacities between 175 mAh and 350mAh. Our {pref,HYPER-LIPO2S300,HyperLiPo 2S 300 mAh LiPo} battery fits fine under the wing and some customers have managed to squeeze it in behind the motor, negating the need to extend the battery lead that would otherwise be required. <i>Unless you are an RC god please use HyperFlight�s recommended forward CG, not VM�s very rearward and unstable one.</i>
The speed control has been modified to optionally output 5V or unregulated 2S LiPo battery voltage to the receiver and thus servos. As supplied the ESC outputs the unregulated 2S Lipo battery voltage (approx 8.2V initially unloaded). This is good when using high voltage servos, and especially if using receiver voltage telemetry, as you can see/hear the battery voltage on the transmitter. On the other hand if you are using normal voltage servos you will need to extricate the wire marked 8.4V and insert the wire marked 5V into the RC plug.
The supplied ESC will overheat if full power is used for more than approx 5 seconds. We recommend that the throttle channel travel is reduced to 60% on the transmitter to limit the current and avoid overheating. We found that a throttle -> down elevator mix was required to give straight climbs.
THE POWERSET AND WING BAGS ARE SUPPLIED WITH THE MODEL AND INCLUDED IN THE PRICE SHOWN.

Supplied with Vladimir's Models {pref, ELF-SPIN-PWRSET, Elf Pro El & Spin Powerset} and {pref, ELF-WING-BAG, Spin Wing Bags}. The Spin is probably the most advanced and best flying all composite 1m electric glider available anywhere. It is also the lightest four servo full house 1 m electric glider ever put in series production.
The Spin's wing is a fabulously light all molded carbon fibre miracle of construction. Despite its excellent ultra smooth finish and extreme stiffness it only weighs 54 g, just 2 g more than the Elf's film covered wing. The great finish and low drag section provide a great all round performance improvement. The ailerons/flapperons allow better control and camber adjustments vastly improve the speed range. The specified aileron servos fit in a beautifully engineered pocket in the root underside of the wing.
The Spin's pod and boom fuselage is shared with the Elf Pro design. It uses attractive plastic moldings for the pod and removable nosecone. These are an excellent fit and follow the wing underside contour for a gap free fit. The tailboom is a tapered wrapped carbon tube with a pre-cut slot for the fin, and a flattened front section for mounting the R/C equipment.

The foam/carbon/glass tailplane has a separate elevator and is mounted above the boom using a tiny standoffs to minimise interference drag. All pushrods and control horns are included.
The Spin does not include the RC (servos, receiver, transmitter) and is probably not suitable for a beginner, as some experience will be required to get everything to fit in the very limited pod space. The model comes with a complete accessory pack and servo trays designed for Ripmax SD100, Dymond D47, H47, KST X06, Blue Bird 101DMG or Blue Bird 101HV servos. We do not recommend different servos are fitted. We are not aware of any Sprektrum receiver that will fit, but a Lemon, Orange or FRSky compatible may be okay.

The NG2m is a modern design with a slippery airfoil and an excellent finish. It has many innovative features and it is very complete. The lightweight yet strong construction is a joy to handle and the plane should give many years of satisfaction. We are supplying this great model with some {pref, NG2M-BAGS, beautifully made fabric wing; tailplane and fin bags}. These have been expertly made from reflective fabric with black canvas edging and red and white NG2m logos and will keep the model safe from transport and storage damage.
The new V2 version has a four servo wing allowing separate aileron and flap control, giving more controllability and particularly steeper landing approaches and better control with the flaps down.
All the NG2m models in stock have the nose in place (as shown in the studio photos), and can be built as gliders or electric models. The {i,Light electric layup} models include a 32mm firewall in the accessory pack. The reason for not installing the firewall is so that the customer can decide if he want to fit the firewall at the very front and use a probably geared inrunner, or to recess the firewall and fit an outrunner.
Electrified NG2m models can be built light and flown as a 2m F5J type thermal soarer or a higher power motor can be fitted and it can be flown as a warm liner. Similarly its excellent speed range allows pure glider NG2m models to be used on the flat or as a light/medium wind slope soarer.
The NG2m�s pod is a strong all carbon fibre molding with a very generous canopy hatch. This is suitably placed aft allowing generous space for a geared motor installation. Unless the firewall is recessed fitting a rotating case outrunner would be difficult. The long nose of the glider version allows ballast and RC to be fitted a long way forward of the CG, reducing the weight and wing loading. There is a little access hatch on the top near the wing root to simplify connecting the aileron and flap servos. The rear of the fuselage consists of a long but lightweight carbon boom with pushrods (inners and outers) ready fitted. At the rear of the boom a beautifully molded carbon fin and tail mount enclose the internal elevator horn and also incorporate a clever plug-in fin mount. Overall the NG2m�s fin and tail, with its removable fin, hidden elevator connection, and superb attention to aerodynamic design is probably the best I have seen on any model glider. And as it is totally prefabricated it is almost ready to fly, with only the rudder control horn to be fitted.
The two piece wing is molded using spread carbon skin over a Rohacell type foam core. The good surface finish and modern airfoils give it an excellent glide angle and speed range.
The fin and tailplane are nicely molded from lightweight spread carbon over a Rohacell type foam core, and are both light and reasonably strong. The removable fin has a strong oblong spar at its base that locates in a suitable tube in the fuselage rear. The fin is retained in flight with small lengths of clear tape over the join.
The complete accessory pack includes all linkages. Apart from RC only two 20 cm and two 40 cm extension leads (for the aileron and flap servos) will be required to complete the model. Supplied with wing and tail bags. No build manual is available but there is useful info in this {href, https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3715103, RCGroups NG 2m} thread.

� � � � � � � � � � � �� b��� � ���b� OA7X4*OA 7x4 Folding prop blades (2mm hinge pin)� A pair of high quality very lightweight carbon 7 x 4 folding propeller blades made by OA Composites. These blades require smaller spinner/hub assemblies with 2mm diameter hinge pins. The last phot shows them assembled on a VM 25 mm spinner. A little trimming of the plastic cone and of the blade root is required to get a perfect folding action, this just takes a few minutes.
These nicely made blades are suitable for use with F5K type and smaller electric models.
Note this product consists of two propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

These blades are extremely thin (they have a higher aspect ratio), thinner even than GM blades. This allows larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. When used with VM Pro Spinners they will fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag than other props.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

� � # � � � � � � � � � � ( � c-z' � �� �b� PURITO Purito 2m The {b,Purito} is probably the best 2m build-it-yourself model currently available. A direct descendant of the {i,Pures} and the {i,Slight} the Schweiger family concern have optimised the design as far as possible with current (2020) CNC technology. The main design change is to a lower aspect ratio wing to increase the Reynolds Number and give better overall performance and particularly nice handling. Despite the larger wing the weight has been kept the same, resulting in a lower wing loading and excellent performance in weak conditions.
The Purito flies like a homesick angel and despite its light weight the model has a surprisingly good speed range. As Greg wrote in the RCGroups thread "The big wing bestows a good launch, even when the wind is light; the airplane itself has little drag, so displays very good legs; handling is easy, allowing the pilot to concentrate on thermalling; and finally, the spoilers really make spot landings quite easy."
The amazing wing is the major improvement of this design. The main spar is a substantial carbon tube which gives the structure excellent rigidity. A multitude of ribs are threaded over this tube to give the airfoil shape. This is even better maintained over the critical front portion by utilising two sub-ribs between each full rib, almost eliminating covering sag, and reducing drag appreciably. Becuse the tubular spar is inset below the covering surface there isn't a discontinuity at the spar line which is great feature - this usually trips the boundary layer and causes extra drag.
The kit is beatifully made up with excellently CNC cut balsa and ply parts. The wing is built over/in a 3D jig which ensures all the ribs are perfectly placed and aligned. This can be seen in the clear photos in the {file, Purito_Build_Manual_DE_v1.1.pdf, Purito German Build Manual}. In addition to the manual, full size plans are povided for the tail surfaces. English speakers should refer to the RCGroups {href, https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3656529-PURITO%21-New-F3RES-Sailplane, Purito} thread for detailed build info and Google translate the German text if necessary.

The {B,LDARC XT1806-2500} is a good quality 21 g outrunner with a KV of 2500 RPM/V for F5K and other small models up to about 600 g. This is exactly the same motor as now used in the Vladimir's Models Snipe 2e powerset, so it has a proven performance history.
A {pref,SN2E-PWRSET, Vladimir's Models Snipe 2e powerset} can be made up by matching this motor with a {pref,BLHELI-25A, HyperFlight 25A BLHELI-32 ESC}, a {pref, VM-SPINNER-25-5,VM 25mm Spinner for 5mm shafts} and a pair of {pref, VM6x3, VM Modified Grp 6x3 folding prop blades}.
The motor has a 5 mm diameter shaft threaded M5 so it works best with spinners designed for this, like the {pref, VM-SPINNER-25-5,VM 25mm Spinner for 5mm shafts} and the {pref,CN-SPINNER-25-5,CN Models 25mm Spinner for 5mm shafts}.
We recommend the {B,LDARC XT1806-2500} is used on 2S LiPo batteries with a maximum prop size of 6"x3", however larger props can be used if the motor run time is limited to a few seconds, or the ESC is limited to less than full throttle by using an end point adjustment on the throttle channel.
{b,The supplied M2 motor mounting bolts are too long and can protrude into the motor and damage the windings when using a thin firewall. Either shorten the bolts or use washers to avoid this.}

BLHELI-11A'Hyperflight 11A BLHELI-32 with Mini JST0 The {B,HyperFlight 11A BLHELI-32 Siskin With Mini-JST Connector} is an 11A brushless speed control suitable small electric models and powered gliders. Running the best firmware currently available, fully setup for glider operation with a good brake. This is exactly the same ESC as used on the Vladimir's Models Elf Pro & Spin powerset.
Ready fitted with 7 cm battery lead with red Mini JST (BEC) socket and 7 cm JR RC lead. There is no battery eliminator circuit so the RC positive is the same voltage as the battery - do not use low voltage (5V) servos with this ESC.
Note this speed control cannot be programmed using the Sunrise Pro ESC programming card. It has already been setup at the factory but can be reprogrammed using the BLHeli-32 software and suitable hardware - a drone flight controller or an Aurdino Nano.
� Chips on STM32F051,48MHZ
� BLHeli_32 is designed for superior performance in multirotors, and uses hardware generated motor pwm for smooth throttle response and silent operation.
� Small size combined with light weight for easy installation.
� The code supports regular 1-2ms pulse width input, as well as Oneshot125 (125-250us), Oneshot42 (41.7-83.3us) and Multishot (5-25us).
The input signal is automatically detected by the ESC upon power up.
� All codes use damped light mode. Damped light does regenerative braking, causing very fast motor retardation, and inherently also does active freewheeling.
� The code supports features to prevent sync loss. There are tuneable parameters that can make the code run well even in the most demanding situations, although default settings will work
excellently in normal operating environments.
� The code also supports a beacon functionality, where the ESC will start beeping after a given time of zero throttle. This can be very useful for finding lost crafts.

The mount (also called a pylon) has a nice airfoil shape and is faired into a conic section for bonding to the glider's tailboom. The rear is open to act as a fairing and actuation slot for the elevator horn. Although designed for the Strike it will work with many 1m DLGs. It can be mounted above or below the boom, whichever the designer prefers.
The mount has one stab mounting hole threaded for M2 metric screws.

We particularly like the large pocket on the wing tip to take the throwing blade.
These bags work well with these discus launched gliders: NRJ, Falcon, Auri, BAMF, BAMF2, Flitz, Flitz2

Between one and three slugs can be fitted. So the weight of the model can be increased in 5 steps from 86g up to 272g
It is suitable for use with both the pure glider and the electric version of the NG 2m
� " � � � � � � � � � � � 7 x� c g� � ���b�� VM14X10 VM 14x10 Folding prop blades A pair of very high quality {b,VM 14 x 10 folding prop blades}, suitable for Vladimir's Models new Pro Spinners and other folding prop yokes and spinners.
These blades are extremely thin (they have a higher aspect ratio), thinner even than GM blades. This allows larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. When used with VM Pro Spinners they will fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag than other props.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

� � & � � P� � � � � � � � 2 � c��\ ���b�� AURI-ELAuri Electric F5K 1.5m� The new {b,Auri Electric F5K} F5K is a high performance electric DLG type model for the nascent F5K class. The Auri Electric has the excellent performance and the gentle handling characteristics of the discus launched glider version. This model is based on the Auri DLG with the nose cut off, a nicely profiled firewall and a new fin but otherwise it is identical to the pure glider. The firewall (not fitted) is designed to be installed approx 12 mm back front the nose to allow rear mounted outrunners to be fitted. Alternatively a Electric DLG CNC Motor Mount (not included) can be used to very easily mount the motor.
The Auri is ideal for customers looking for 1.5m electric F3K type glider with good performance, nice handling and model toughness at reasonable cost. The fuselage is a one piece design with a generous front to facilitate fitting a small powertrain and all servos. The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) and fin (vertical stab) are very light and have a good finish. The rudder and elevator are ready hinged and give good control response.
The wing is beautifully molded from spread carbon with a Rohacell core to maximise strength and dimensional stability, ensuring the surface finish stays smooth. The design incorporates nicely designed ailerons to give excellent control at all speeds. The hinge gap is sealed with hinge tape, eliminating a common drag source and ensuring high launches.
The supplied accessories include a firewall, servo mount, tail pylon, aileron pushrods, rudder and elevator pull cables, torque springs, and all control horns. In order to balance the model without tail weight the nose will need to be kept light, with a lightweight 300-400mAh 2S LiPo and lightweight servos. The model is supplied with a servo tray for 4 pcs KST X08 servo but we think that 4 pcs KST X06 are more appropriate for this model.

� � ! � � h � � � � � � � � � a� C� bƪ� ���b�� KST-X06*KST X06 V6 Servo - 1.8Kg.cm 0.07s 6.4g 7mm� KST delivers once again with the world beating {b,KST X06 V6}, a new 7 mm thin servo weighing only 6.4g. Perfect for discus launched gliders (DLGs) and many smaller models. The incredibly slim casing is crafted from 7075 aluminium alloy, so not only do these servos look fantastic but they are also very rigid and robust. The new V6 version has the same great specifications as the old servo, but is also programmable using a {pref, KST-TOOL2, PC based} or a {pref, KST-TOOL1, press-button} programming tool.
The {b,KST X06} has a hardened steel drive train and a coreless motor capable of running all the way from 3.8V to 8.4V (1S to 2S LiPo) making these WV (wide voltage range) servos will deliver the power and reliability you need. Although some say this tiny servo is too small for 1.5m DLG aileron surfaces it actually has more torque on 2S LiPo than a KST X08 has on a 1S battery.
The accessories include four strong nylon output arms, two double sided, and two single sided, one of which is low profile. This means that when the servos are mounted one in front of the other the control rod of the front one won't foul the rear one.

The {b,Vladimir's Models 25mm Spinner for 11xx Motors} is a brilliantly designed spinner for small 1m electric gliders and F5K type electric gliders. What makes it so special is that a small 1105 or 1106 drone type brushless motor fits within the spinner, making for a very compact and lightweight powertrain. It has a diameter of 25 mm and although it was designed around the SunnySky 1106 it is suitable for many drone motors that use this form factor. It is attached to the motor by bolting into the front of the rotating case using the two M2 screws provided.
The black shock proof cone is molded from a glass/nylon composite. The spinner is designed to work with VM 4.7x2.4 or Graupner 4.7x2.4 folding prop blades. Neither these nor the motor etc are included.

The case has horizonal mounting tabs making it suitable for fitting in a wing (or tail surface). This version is a little heavier than the lugless {pref,MKS-HV75K-N, HV75K-N}. The MKS HV75K-R is actually a low-medium-high voltage servo as it works on 1S and 2S LiPo as and well as 4.8V - 6V NiMH batteries.
The MKS HV75K-R is more powerful, faster, and considerably more robust than the {pref,MKS-DS65K, DS65K}. Its clever inverted motor design makes it very compact, in fact it is nearly as small as the {pref,SD100,SD100} or {pref,SD100,D47} in the vertical and horizontal directions.
The MKS HV75K-R is ideal for F3K, F5D, and all small models that require excellent precision, massive torque, and good speed.

� � � � � � � � � � � � \� cI�� ��b� SPIN-DLG$Spin Mini 1m DLG including wing bags? The {b,Spin Mini DLG} is a new molded 1m discus launched glider from Vladimir's Models. The Spin is supplied with {pref, ELF-WING-BAG, Spin Wing Bags}. The Spin is a great intro to DLGs and is probably the easiest aileron DLG to get airborne. In addition to a very quick and easy build the model excels in the air, with a high launch, a good glide angle, and brilliant manoeuvrability allowing it to be flown and aerobatted, from the smallest flying site.
The Spin's wing is a fabulously light all molded carbon fibre miracle of construction. Despite its excellent ultra smooth finish and extreme stiffness it only weighs 54 g, just 2 g more than the Elf's film covered wing. The great finish and low drag section provide a great all round performance improvement. The ailerons/flapperons allow better control and camber adjustments vastly improve the speed range. The specified aileron servos fit in a beautifully engineered pocket in the root underside of the wing.
The Spin's pod and boom fuselage is uses attractive plastic moldings for the pod and removable nosecone. These are an excellent fit and follow the wing underside contour for a gap free fit. The tailboom is a tapered wrapped carbon tube with a pre-cut slot for the fin, and has a flattened front section for mounting the R/C equipment. The fin is made from rigid foam with carbon spars and has smooth vac-bagged glass covering, and incorporates the rudder with a very free living hinge. The foam/carbon/glass tailplane has a separate elevator and is mounted above the boom using a tiny standoffs to minimise interference drag. All pushrods and control horns are included.
The model comes with a complete accessory pack and servo trays designed for Ripmax SD100, Dymond D47, Hepf H47, KST X06, Blue Bird 101DMG or Blue Bird 101HV servos. We do not recommend different servos are fitted. An instruction manual is not available but there is some useful info {href, http://f3j.in.ua/spin-el.html?#tab2, here}. Please don't try to order direct from VM, they will refer you back to us. The model comes with a complete accessory pack including even special extension leads for the wing servos.
The wing bags are supplied with the model and included in the price shown. Note the colour option images are indicative only and may not be identical to the actual model supplied.

FALCON-FIN
Falcon Fin( Replacement fin for the Falcon DLG
This very light and nice fin/rudder can be used on may other discus launched gliders, not just the Falcon.
The ones in stock have a lower amount of carbon by the leading edge than normal. However they are 100% fine to fly, this is just a cosmetic problem. � - � � � � � � � � � � � t i� bJ*� � ���b�0 ELI
Eli F3L 2m The {b,Eli F3L} is a very beautiful high performance F3L/F3-RES model from Eastern Europe. With attractive elliptical flying surfaces (hence the name) and a very long tailboom it flies as well as it looks. The Eli model won all three Slovak competitions in F3-RES in Slovakia in 2020. It was 4th place in Austrian F3-RES nationals and won E-RES once. Eli is made from very accurately CNC and laser cut balsa with lightweight wound tubular carbon booms for the main spar and tailboom, giving excellent strength and light weight. The kit includes hardware for the Eli to be built for either F3L (pure glider) or F5L (electric). F3L and F5L are the new names for F3-RES (glider) and F5-RES (electric) competion classes.
The Eli design philosophy, as stated by the manufacturer is "This model is made for more dynamic flying which you know from F3J and F5J, it is not for standing in the wind. Whole conception is adapted to this fact. There are tubes for ballast about 100 g in the wing."
The balsa and ply parts are cleanly laser and CNC cut. The fuselage consists of a wooden (plywood/balsa) pod and a light weight tapered carbon tailboom with a balsa tailplane mount. The fin is fixed to the tailboom and the tailplane is removable. Both the fin and the tailplane are cut from a high quality lightweight balsa. The wing is connected to the fuselage using a through joiner. This makes for fast and easy assembly at the field as the wing is retained by magnets - there is nothing to screw. The wing main spar is a tapered carbon tube, which provides excellent strength and very light weight. Riblets ensure the covering material follows the airfoil contour accurately. There are two large spoilers for safely exiting thermals and precise landings.
The Eli can be built fast and accurately without any complications. The kit contents include all the necessary parts to build this sophisticated model easily, including pre-bent leading edge parts and a wing rib alignment jig. The well selected balsa and ply parts are cleanly laser cut and the wound carbon spars are light and well made, with the tip spars tapered. All the control parts and small accessories are included. The kit comes with parts to allow the model to be built as a pure glider or an electric glider. However the internal width is only about 23mm at the nose so installing an outrunner will be a squeeze.
The kit includes a professional quality full size plan with isometric views and a beautifully illustrated English build manual.

The model looks fantastic with a good surface finish and a practical easy to fit-out design. A {pref,MAGNUS,slope racer} version is also available.
The two piece wing is available in glass and carbon layups. The glass version has a fair amount of carbon and is very strong. The full carbon version is about 50g heavier and is extremely strong and rigid and will be ideal for high power setups. The wings are kept in place with a very substantial carbon joiner. The tailplane is removable making the model very easy to store and transport. The electric fuselage is glass with carbon reinforcement and is wider than the slope racer version, allowing a substantial motor and battery to be installed. The large canopy hatch gives great access to the front, making for a very easy powertrain installation and quick battery changes. The elevator servo is under a hatch in its own pocket molded into the fuselage, just to the rear of the wing trailing edge. This makes for a very short elevator control run and also leaves the front fuselage free for the electrics.
The complete accessory pack includes all pushrods, ply wing servo mounts (for X08 family servos), control horns, a ply elevator fuselage servo mount, colour coded wing servo covers and a glass firewall. No formal build instructions are available but this excellent {href, https://forum.alofthobbies.com/index.php?threads/magnus-build-thread-tjirc.1245,build log } of the slope version should answer most questions.

The case has horizonal mounting tabs making it suitable for fitting in a wing (or tail surface).
The MKS DS75K-R is more powerful, faster, and considerably more robust than the DS65K. It is also rated for operation down to 3.5V making it safe for use on 1S LiPo batteries. Its clever inverted motor design makes it very compact, in fact is is nearly as small as the SD100/D47 in the vertical and horizontal directions.
The DS75K-R is ideal for F3K, F5K, F5D, and all small models that require excellent precision, massive torque, and adequate speed. Along with the DS65K it is probably the best 9 mm thick servo currently produced. It looks beautiful and with a torque of 2.4 Kg cm it is amazingly powerful.

The Purito is a direct descendant of the {i,Pures} and the {i,Slight} the Schweiger family concern have optimised the design as far as possible with current (2020) CNC technology. The main design change is to a lower aspect ratio wing to increase the Reynolds Number and give better overall performance and particularly nice handling. Despite the larger wing the weight has been kept the same, resulting in a lower wing loading and excellent performance in weak conditions.
The Purito flies like a homesick angel and despite its light weight the model has a surprisingly good speed range. As Greg wrote in the RCGroups thread "The big wing bestows a good launch, even when the wind is light; the airplane itself has little drag, so displays very good legs; handling is easy, allowing the pilot to concentrate on thermalling; and finally, the spoilers really make spot landings quite easy."
The amazing wing is the major improvement of this design. The main spar is a substantial carbon tube which gives the structure excellent rigidity. A multitude of ribs are threaded over this tube to give the airfoil shape. This is even better maintained over the critical front portion by utilising two sub-ribs between each full rib, almost eliminating covering sag, and reducing drag appreciably. Becuse the tubular spar is inset below the covering surface there isn't a discontinuity at the spar line which is great feature - this usually trips the boundary layer and causes extra drag.
The kit is beatifully made up with excellently CNC cut balsa and ply parts. The wing is built over/in a 3D jig which ensures all the ribs are perfectly placed and aligned. This can be seen in the clear photos in the {href, https://www.hyperflight.co.uk/getfile.asp?code=PURITO%2DE&code2=2, English build manual}. In addition to the manual, full size plans are povided for the tail surfaces.

The {b,MicroMax Pocket F3F} is a great new fast slope soarer capable of extreme fun flying. The concept was inspired by Henning Plemo Schmidt, and with aero design by Christophe Bourdon. Structural design and implementation is by Anton Ovcharenko so this model is of the highest pedigree. Its inspiration was the lack of high performance small gliders optimised for fast slope flying.
Although discus launched gliders can be fun on the slope on a low wind day they are too stable and too light to be optimal, especially when the wind gets up. Anton makes the very high performance Strike range of 1m DLGs, and was the first manufacturer to make a full house 1m DLG with performance to challenge 1.5m ships. Christophe's job was to marry Anton's highly regarded DLG technology with the performance requirements of a great slope soarer - high L/D at speed, well damped and linear control response even at extreme DS speeds, while retaining nice handling and low min sink to allow scratching when the lift dies.
The {b,MicroMax} is ultra-new so there isn't much real-world feedback yet, but by all accounts Henning, Christophe and Anton have pulled off the impossible and made a small model that achieves this and flies like a much larger thoroughbred slope racer. MICRO size with MAXimum performance and fun.
The {b,MicroMax} has flying surfaces beautifully made from spread carbon with a solid Rohacel core, to ensure its excellent surface finish doesn�t degrade with time. The fuselage is carbon fibre with a 2.4Ghz transparent glass nose section, to allow the receiver aerials to be kept internal. The fuse is tiny but has been designed to accept a custom ballast system, allowing the model's weight to be doubled. This very wide weight range allows the model to be used in most flying conditions, from light airs to strong conditions. For good DS performance we recommend the model is ballasted to at least 400g, preferably 500g to allow it to punch through the rotor turbulence. The wing is easily strong enough to cope with DS speeds at this weight.

The {b,Kiwi F3-RES} is a high-performance model for in RES 2m class competitions and sport flying. It has full wood construction, without carbon and other complex technology making it easy and quick to build. It is made from made from ecological materials and looks beautiful in the air! It has very good and easy circling and handling, and high starting heights. The Kiwi F3-RES uses two spoilers to reduce turbulence on the tail surfaces and retaining good elevator control for precise landings. The Kiwi has a short nose for to reduce inertia, a big wing area and low wing loading for great performance in the light thermal conditions.
The kit is supplied with a motor firewall and can be built as a pure glider or an electric glider.
The model is supplied as very nicely laser cut kit of balsa and ply parts with these additions:
Steel and wood ballast sets and box for ballast, allow 125g of ballast to be added.
Plastic spoiler servo frame for Emax ES 9051
Plastic adjustable hook
Bowden control cables
All others small accessories.

To this a KS 30A speed control running BLHeli32 firmware has been expertly soldered. The battery plug on the ESC is an XT30 but this can be replaced if necessary
Update: Jan 2021: the speed control used now has a 5V 2A BEC circuit to allow normal 5V servos to be used. The BLHeli32 settings on the one we checked were as in the last photo.
The total weight of this power set is 33.7 g (1.2 oz). It is highly recommended for the VM Snipe 2e model.
We suggest that a 2S LiPo battery with a capacity between 300 mAh and 600 mAh is used. Vladimir's Models recons they can be used on a 3S LiPo but this is pushing them very far and risks overheating the motor. We do not guarantee the powerset on this voltage.
{b,The supplied M2 motor mounting bolts are too long and can protrude into the motor and damage the windings when using a thin firewall. Either shorten the bolts or use washers to avoid this.}
DO NOT CONDUCT STATIC POWER TESTS FOR OVER 5 SECONDS. YOU ARE LIKELY TO OVERHEAT IT IF YOU DO.

MINI-DART2Mini Dart 2 1m DLG� {BR, New delivery from Ukraine! Specal price to celebrate!}
The {b,Mini Dart 2} is a lovely very competitively priced all molded 1m DLG. The quality of the construction, attention to detail and surface finish are all very good, and the flying performance is excellent.
The wing is all molded from spread carbon or glass, depending upon the layup chosen, over a solid XPS foam core. The fuselage (also made from carbon or glass, to match the wing) is a one piece design with a very good sized nose and a slip-on nosecone. Removing this reveals a very large space (approx 120 x 30 x 22mm) for installing the RC, which makes for a very easy installation - probably the easiest of any DLG we sell. The front portion of the fuselage and nosecone are made of glass (in both versions) so are 2.4GHz friendly. The rear of the fuselage sports a carbon pylon for mounting the tailplane, and the rear of the boom is ready-slotted to take the fin. Both the tail surfaces are lightweight fully molded items, either carbon or glass, to match the wing. The carbon fuselage and tails are all back, and the glass ones are all white.
The beautifully molded wing has quite a wide chord, giving a low wing loading and benign handling. The wing has large ailerons and a high gloss finish, as good as on models double the price.
The very complete accessory pack includes aileron pushrods, all control horns, a glass servo mounting tray, a contoured carbon fibre throwing blade, and torque springs and pull cables for actuating the tail surfaces. A well illustrated build manual is available � see the link below the {i, More Details} heading.

Like the Kite DLG the electric version uses the well regarded Zone V2 wing and tail design, ensuring excellent mid and high speed performance and the good soaring characteristics of the discus launched glider. The E-Kite has a specially designed electric fuselage that gives generous space and easy access to the powertrain and RC, with two hatches - in addition to the canopy hatch a second hatch under the wing gives access to the tail servos. The fuselage is supplied with a recessed firewall glued in place. The firewall is drilled with holes at 12mm and 16mm, allowing making it perfect for the LDARC XT1806-2500 motor. The tail is very nicely designed, with only a single screw needed to secure the removable fin and tailplane.
The models we have in stock now are all two-piece wing which make them very easy to store and transport.
The spread carbon over Rohacell wing is very nicely made, with a high gloss finish and attractive colour schemes. A very good detail is that the aileron servos are mounted in the wing, giving extra space in the fuselage and simplifying the aileron linkage. Low drag servo covers perfectly cover the servo openings.
The E-Kite is supplied with a complete accessory pack including control horns, pull-cable, torque springs, pushrods and wing mounting screws.

Eliminating the gearbox simplifies the powertrain and reduces the risk of failure. It also results in requiring a smaller (less efficient) propeller. In the past that was a disadvantage as powertrain efficiency was essential for good performance. However with the current state of technology excellent performance can be achieved even with small props, and they do offer several advantages, namely:
{bullet} Less stuff hanging out in the wind and less glide drag, so overall better glide performance, especially at speed.
Usually a higher pitch speed is obtained, allowing very fast transitions to a low level thermal a long way away (if you are one of those god-pilots who know there the lift is).
Smaller propellers reduce the effects of torque, making the initial climb out easier.

The photos show the similar GM 13 x 8 blades but this product has 11" (28 cm) diameter by 8" (20 cm) pitch blades.
These blades are thinner (they have a higher aspect ratio) than normal folding propeller blades, allowing larger diameter blades to be fitted without pulling too much current. This increases the propulsive efficiency of the powertrain. They are also engineered to fold closer to the fuselage, and cause less drag when folded than other props. See photos 3 and 4 for a visual comparison of GM, RF and Aeronaut props, kindly produced by Andre Jeber Demetrio.
Note this product consists of two carbon propeller blades only. The central spinner/yoke assembly is not included. Also it is common for prop blades to not fit all spinner/yokes perfectly as supplied. It is often necessary to reduce the width the blade root slightly to ensure free folding movement. Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

PURITO-E-FUSE Purito Electric Fuselage only� Electric fuselage kit for the Purito. Includes the electric pod, the tailboom, the tailplane mount, tailplane and the fin. Does not include the wing.
{BR, Now includes the tailplane}
From a forum post by the manufacturer:
<i>We also designed an electric fuselage for our Purito, which is called the Purito-E. It was important to us that both the wing and the tail unit of the glider version could be used for our new electric fuse.
The electric fuse is a new design, which has been widened for the required components and adjusted in length. This means that the fuse pod is 10g lighter than the glider pod (weight of the electric fuse pod 35g). This electric fuse is designed for a Hacker A10 motor with small Maxon gearbox, but other motors of the same type can also be used. We will test the following components in the next few days: Vladimir�s Model VM PRO Spinner 30/3 set and as propellers the VM PRO Prop 11/7, 12/8, and 13/9. Planned take-off weight Purito-E: 450g.</i>

� ���b�C HOTSHOTHot Shot 2 F5K 1.5mj The {b, Hot Shot 2} is a well regarded glass and carbon electric 1.5m DLG with a flying weight of about 370g. The Hot shot is very tough and easy to fly, making it a great F5K trainer. The model uses solid molded DLG construction methods, and a modern Drela airfoil, which keeps it light and gives it excellent performance.
The Hotshot 2 is based on the Longshot DLG with excellent aerodynamics and a nice molded glass / foam / glass wing, with lots of carbon in the right places. The Hotshot�s fuselage is a glass molding with a lightweight rolled carbon tailboom. The R/C is accessed though a handy canopy hatch, and the wings are bolted onto the low pod, keeping the frontal area to a minimum. The pod is supplied with the nosecone in place, and a 32mm firewall is supplied. However a smaller recessed firewall could alternatively be fitted allowing one of our modern lightweight 25mm F5K powertrains to be used. Thus the modeller has total flexibility about motor choices. The tail and fin are lightweight balsa surfaces that will need a little shaping and covering in film. The tailplane is conveniently removable for easy transportation. It is mounted on a prefabricated pylon that is glued to the boom. The Hotshot�s very smooth low drag wing is supplied in two pieces and is easily joined using the supplied carbon reinforcements, and is painted with flashes of colour on the tips. All the linkages are provided, only glue, powertrain and the RC gear needs to be supplied by the builder.
The easy build, benevolent flying characteristics, and tough construction all make the Hotshot an excellent introduction to F5J type electric gliders. See some build photos of the very similar Longshot DLG {href,http://www.horejsi.cz/PhotoGallery/0724_LS3/LS3_sequence_EN.htm,<b>here</b>}.

Yoda 1.5m DLG[ The {b,Yoda 1.5m DLG} is the latest design from Joe Wurts, master glider designer and pilot, and Vladimir's Models, with unparalleled technology, craftsmanship, and expertise in composite and production engineering. The Yoda DLG is uniquely a 6 servo polyhedral winged DLG, with separate flap and aileron surfaces.
The {b,Yoda DLG} is the best DLG for top pilots: Best thermaling due its polyhedral wing; best penetration due to professionally designed airfoils, best speed range with an extra wide flap, and highest launch due low drag optimization.
The {b,Yoda} is also the best for regular pilots. You will add 1 min to your flight time easily: Easy handling, like a F5J glider due to the polyhedral wing. Easy to thermal because the Yoda signals lift much more clearly than a straight dihedral wing model. Easy return to home because Yoda has a great glide angle and is very stable in cruise. Easy to land on the spot or catch because descent control is precise and it slows down better.
The following is a quote from Joe Wurts: <i>"I have very high hopes for this design. In the air it is a wonderful thing to fly. Personal opinion is that this plane is a very large gain for the sport pilot as it is so easy to fly. The high end pilot, they know how to fly very well and can accept lower handling qualities so the objective performance gains are not as high. There are some small objective gains, the larger gains are due to the ease in flying more optimally. ... The improvement in flying qualities is not a trivial change. The recreational pilot will enjoy this change even more than the hard-core competitive pilot IMO."</i>
The Yoda is superbly implemented by Vladimir's Models with perfect surface finish, an ultra strong and rigid structure, and attractive colour options. Four servos are mounted in the fuselage, with only the aileron servos mounted in the wing. The fin is removable to help with storage and transport. In the prototype planes the RC is powered by a 2S LiPo battery that has been opened up to make two cells one behind the other. Other configurations will also be possible.
All the models stocked are for right-handed throwers and without RC installed. We will obtain other configurations to special order.

KST delivers once again with the world beating {b,KST X06N}, their new lugless 7 mm thin servo weighing only 6.3g. Perfect for discus launched gliders (DLGs) and many smaller models. The incredibly slim casing is crafted from 7075 aluminium alloy, so not only do these servos look fantastic but they are also very rigid and robust. The new V6 version has the same great specifications as the old servo, but is also programmable using a {pref, KST-TOOL2, PC based} or a {pref, KST-TOOL1, press-button} programming tool.
The {b,KST X06N} has a hardened steel drive train and a coreless motor capable of running all the way from 3.8V to 8.4V (1S to 2S LiPo) making these WV (wide voltage range) servos will deliver the power and reliability you need. Although some say this tiny servo is too small for 1.5m DLG aileron surfaces it actually has more torque on 2S LiPo than a KST X08 has on a 1S battery.
The accessories include four strong nylon output arms, two double sided, and two single sided, one of which is low profile. This means that when the servos are mounted one in front of the other the control rod of the front one won't foul the rear one.
{b,KST X06N Features}

KST delivers once again with the world beating {b,KST X06H}, their new 7 mm thin wing servo weighing only 6.4g. Perfect for discus launched gliders (DLGs) and many smaller models. The incredibly slim casing is crafted from 7075 aluminium alloy, so not only do these servos look fantastic but they are also very rigid and robust. The new V6 version has the same great specifications as the V1 servo, but is also programmable using a {pref, KST-TOOL2, PC based} or a {pref, KST-TOOL1, press-button} programming tool.
The {b,KST X06H} has a hardened steel drive train and a coreless motor capable of running all the way from 3.8V to 8.4V (1S to 2S LiPo) making these WV (wide voltage range) servos will deliver the power and reliability you need. Although some say this tiny servo is too small for 1.5m DLG aileron surfaces it actually has more torque on 2S LiPo than a KST X08 has on a 1S battery.
The accessories include four strong nylon output arms, two double sided, and two single sided, one of which is low profile. This means that when the servos are mounted one in front of the other the control rod of the front one won't foul the rear one.
{b,KST X06H Features}
{bullet}
Horizontal mounting lugs to facilitate easy mounting in wings and tail surfaces
Ultra slim 7 mm body - the thinnest metal cased servo in the world
Compact and light weight design
Good torque and speed
Wide 1S to 2S LiPo voltage range
Excellent heat dissipation
7075 Alloy casing
Hardened Steel gears
Designed for lightweight high performance RC Gliders
{endbullet}
{ServoSpecs} Note although the X08 arms will fit they are slightly deeper. When fully screwed into place the arm will jam on the top of the servo case. Either trim away a little of the nylon arm sleeve, or avoid fully tightening the retaining screw.

The build quality is first rate and the engineering is very impressive. Apart from of course perfectly molded carbon parts the kit comes with a very nicely engineered system for automatic connection of the aileron controls when the wing is attached. This is a different level of convenience and functionality to any other DLG we sell.
Supplied with a complete accessory bag including all the items necessary to complete the model. Two servo trays are included, for KST X08 and MKS DS65K servos.
The MKS servo tray cutout is 22mm x 17mm, making it suitable for 4 DS65K servos. To fit 4 DS75K servos in the MKS tray 0.5 mm needs to be trimmed from each edge of both cutouts.
The KST servo tray cutout is 23.5mm x 16mm, making it suitable for 4 X08 servos or A08 servos. The cutouts are too large for the X06.
Note, the top mounting surface on both trays is flat, so servo installation may require thin spacers to raise the 2 front servos so that the tail strings clear the aileron pushrods.

� ��b� X-DREAM-EX-Dream Elekro 2mG
The {b,X-Dream Elektro} is a built-up laser cut balsa and ply kit designed for the new F5-RES electric 2m Rudder-Elevator-Spoiler glider class first popularised in Germany and Austria, but now flown worldwide.
The {b,X-Dream Elektro} is the latest development of Alois Janowetz, the designer of the X-RES and X-Dream. The new X-Dream Elektro is a dedicated electric version and performs at the top level.
The X-Dream Elektro has well harmonised flight characteristics and amazing performance. Despite the compettion-optimised design the model is agile and extremely easy to fly. The simple yet strong design and the brilliant use of weight-optimized materials allows a flying weight as low as 425 g and thus a wing loading of only 12 g/dm2 (3.9 oz/sq ft), resulting in very low sink rates.
The large 2-part spoilers allow almost vertical descents without an increase in speed. The wing separates into three panels and the tailplane is removable making the model very easy to transport.
The laser cut kit has very simple and robust construction. Apart from the 6 mm carbon fibre wing joiners and the CF all moving tailplane mount the model is built from selected and optimized laser cut balsa and plywood. The model can be built very quickly using cyanoacrylate superglue, white glue or 5-minute epoxy. Oralight covering is recommended. An adjustable tow hook is standard and is included in the kit, as are the servo linkages. The kit includes a colour plan and comprehensive instructions, in German only. See the {b,More detals} heading below for links to the German manual and an English translation.

MAGIC-ARTF Magic 2 ARTF We have received a delivery of professionally built {b,Magic 2 Allround} models. These models fly brilliantly and have been expertly constructed and covered by a master builder. The only work required is installing the RC gear and checking the CG.
The {b,Magic 2} model built up a cult following in Turkey and Eastern Europe. You only have to watch some of the {href, https://www.facebook.com/salahi.tezel/videos/3160655740648725/, hand launch videos} (via Facebook unfortunately) to see this is no ordinary model, it has an exceedingly low sink rate and an excellent glide angle. The {b,Magic 2} shows that well engineered built up models can equal and even exceed the best composites, at least in low lift/low wind conditions. It really lives up to its name.
The {b,Magic 2} is designed to fly well in all conditions, from light airs to 15 mph winds. Designed by Salahi Tezel it was developed from the Magic Pro over 8 months and has an elliptical wing to minimise induced drag. By modifying the Drela AG24/25/26 airfoils and improving the wing structure the effect of the bumpiness of film covered wings was mitigated, reducing local flow separations. This improved the performance and flying characteristics, enabling easy and tight circles even in small and weak thermals. The Magic 2 Allround has a flying weight of about 410 g (14.5 oz) and has ballast provision to allow flight in higher winds.
The model uses carbon fibre tubular spars and tailbooms to simplify construction and minimise weight. The three piece wings have two riblets between each full rib to almost eliminate covering sag. The wing has two spoilers to reduce the trim change when applying brakes, and the large spoiler area allows almost vertical descents, stopping the possibility of fly-aways and allowing easily controlled spot landings.
The substantial fuselage is constructed from 3 mm balsa and plywood. The tailboom is a 9 mm carbon tube, ready slotted for fitting the fin and tailplane mounts. All servos are placed in the pod with the control surfaces actuated using pull-springs.
The tailplane uses a carbon spar for lightness and rigidity and is mounted on a lightweight fitting attached to the boom. Both the tailplane and fin are detachable for easy transport.

This consists of everything required for an electric powered Elf except for the wing (and RC of course). It a great way of getting a new lease of low stress/high performance fun without the difficulties of a discus launch.
This Elf Pro Electric Upgrade Kit includes all the items necessary to upgrade Elf DLG to an Elf Pro El. The kit consists of:
{bullet}
Elf Pro El fuselage (grey)
Elf Pro El fin
Elf Pro El tailplane
Elf Pro & Spin Electric Powerset
{endbullet}
The pod molding in the current fuselages is grey, not blue. The only thing required from the Elf DLG is the wing, which is not modified, and can still be used on the Elf DLG.
The Elf Pro Electric Upgrade Kit comes with a complete accessory pack and servo trays designed for KST X06, Blue Bird BMS-101DMG, Blue Bird BMS-101HV, Ripmax SD100, Hepf H47 or Dymond D47 servos. No other servo will fit easily.
The highly regarded {pref, ELF-SPIN-PWRSET, Elf Pro & Spin Electric Powerset} is supplied with the upgrade kit and included in the price shown. A 2S 300 mAh LiPo battery is recommended.
The speed control has been modified to optionally output 5V or unregulated 2S LiPo battery voltage to the receiver and thus servos. As supplied the ESC outputs the unregulated 2S Lipo battery voltage (approx 8.2V initially unloaded). This is good when using high voltage servos, and especially if using receiver voltage telemetry, as you can see/hear the battery voltage on the transmitter. On the other hand if you are using normal voltage servos you will need to extricate the wire marked 8.4V and insert the wire marked 5V into the RC plug.

Eliminating the gearbox simplifies the powertrain and reduces the risk of failure. It also results in requiring a smaller (less efficient) propeller. In the past that was a disadvantage as powertrain efficiency was essential for good performance. However with the current state of technology excellent performance can be achieved even with small props, and they do offer several advantages, namely:
{bullet} Less stuff hanging out in the wind and less glide drag, so overall better glide performance, especially at speed.
Usually a higher pitch speed is obtained, allowing very fast transitions to a low level thermal a long way away (if you are one of those god-pilots who know there the lift is).
Smaller propellers reduce the effects of torque, making the initial climb out easier.

The {b,MaxFlight F5K} is an innovative 1.5m electric DLG type glider with two piece wings. With great performance and forgiving flight characteristics this may be the most advanced F5K model we have seen so far.
The outstanding benefits of this model are:
{bullet}
Well thought out design intended for electric flight from the outset - not a modified discus launch glider.
Excellent glide performance and good speed range.
Lightweight carbon all molded construction.
Superb surface finish and attractive colour schemes.
Two piece wing and easy to dismount the fin and tailplane make for a very easy to transport model in a box just 86 cm (34") long.
Large canopy hatch for east access to the motor, ESC and battery.
Available in 4 servo (flaperon) and 6 servo (aileron and separate flap) versions.
Preinstalled mounting system for 4 KST X08 tail and wing servos under the wing.
Large under-wing hatch for access to the fuselage servos.
Easy and quick assembly at the field.
{endbullet} The wing is beautifully molded from spread carbon with a Rohacell core to maximise strength and dimensional stability, ensuring the surface finish stays smooth. The wing is available in two versions:
{b, Flaperons} - a single control surface on each wing, actuated from fuselage mounted servos, is used both for roll (aileron) and flap/camber, as used successfully on DLGs. This has the advantage of simplicity and not needing any wing mounted servos, reducing the cost. Also only a 5+ channel receiver is required and transmitter programming is simplified.
{b, Separate Ailerons and Flaps} - two control surfaces on each wing. The inner flap control surface is actuated from fuselage mounted servos, and the outer aileron control surface is mounted by an outboard servo. This has the advantage allowing much greater flap deflection during landing, giving better control and slower touchdowns - potentially allowing the model to be flown from a smaller field. A 7+ channel receiver will be required and transmitter programming is a little more complex.
The fuselage is a one piece design with a generous front to facilitate fitting a small powertrain and four servos. A firewall is supplied but not fitted, to allow it to be recessed as appropriate for the motor used. The tailplane (horizontal stabiliser) and fin (vertical stab) are very light and have a good finish. The rudder and elevator are ready hinged and give good control response.
The fuselage is supplied with a servo deck pre-cut for 4 pcs KST X08 servos. The supplied accessories include a firewall, servo mount, all pushrods, rudder and elevator pull cables, torque springs, and all control horns. The wings are supplied in thin foam bags but fit nicely in our {pref, F3K-WING-BAG, DLG F3K Wing Bags} for greater protection.

The Adventure Travel F5J is of all molded spread carbon construction and is made to a high standard, with an excellent surface finish and a low weight. The model fits in a specially designed strong cardboard box size 780 x 330 x85 mm (30.7" x 13.0" x 3.3") meaning that it can be carried onto most transport.
The fuselage pod is a good size, allowing easy powertrain and RC installation. It is made from kevlar with carbon reinforcement, and is meant to be 2.4 GHz friendly, though we would recommend at least one antenna is routed outside. The tailboom is a lightweight component custom molded from chequerboard spread carbon with the V tail mounts ready fitted. The tailboom is securely retained using tape, to allow easy assembly on the field. No glue is needed or should be used.
The V tails are beautifully molded from spread carbon over a Rohacell foam core, for maximum lightness and rigidity. The V tails have a pocket for the servo (8 mm max thickness) molded in place.
The four part wing is again beautifully molded from spread carbon over a Rohacell foam core, with carbon servo pockets molded into the structure. With a thickness of just 6.3% the airfoil is very thin and quite cambered, giving excellent performance. The flap is exceptionally wide, taking up 40% of the wing's chord, allowing both a good speed range and for the model to be slowed very well when landing.
The accessory pack contains glass fibre horns and firewall, multiplex plugs and lightweight wire for a wiring harness - though it might be easier to use our {pref,HS-4119-34-80, Large Lightweight 4 Servo Wing Wiring Harness} ready made wing wiring harness and some extension leads.

� ���b� BMS-115WV6Blue Bird BMS-115WV+ Servo - 7.1Kg.cm 0.09s 11.1g 10mm The {b,Blue Bird BMS-115WV+} is a the horizonal lug/wingservo verson of the highest torque servo in the very highly regarded Blue Bird BMS-125WV/126WV/127WV range of 10g servos. At 8.4V the BMS-125WV+'s torque is 7.1 kg.cm while still having an excellent speed of 0.09 seconds per 60� of movement.
This new BMS-115WV+ servo is an upgrade to the BMS-115HV by having a wide volage range (1S to 2S LiPo) and dual ball bearings on the main output shaft. This keeps it precise and slop free, with a long service life.
The {b,Blue Bird BMS-115WV+} is a great wide voltage range servo built to a similar space saving form factor as the MKS HV6110. It is similarly precise, with no free play in the geartrain, and it is even more powerful and faster than the competing product. The large output spline is identical to Futaba 25 tooth splines, so replacement output arms are readily available. Note the Futaba compatible output spline is not the same as MKS so the servo cannot be used with most MKS accesories.

� � � � � � � � 2 ( R ~� c'�0� `��`� VAIANA-SPORT Vaiana Sport F3-RES & F5-RES 2m- {br, No more expected till late Autumn.}
The {b,Vaiana Sport F3-RES} is a modern high performance F3-RES model from Slovakia. With attractive elliptical flying surfaces and a very long tailboom it flies as beautifully as it looks, and it won several F3-RES events in 2021. This latest version of the model uses Mitsuru Ishii's highly rated 0801YA mod biconvex airfoil which provides better performance than the Drela airfoil used on the previous version, being optimised both for high speed launch and min sink. One of the outstanding benefits of the Vaiana Sport is the inclusion of 3D printed ballast boxes that are built into the wing root, and several ballast slugs and spacers that allow up to 170 g of ballast to be added, ensuring that it can outfly the competition, even in windy conditions.
The Vaiana Sport is made from very accurately CNC and laser cut balsa with lightweight wound tubular carbon booms for the main spar and tailboom, giving excellent strength and light weight.
The balsa and ply parts are cleanly laser and CNC cut. The fuselage consists of a wooden (plywood/balsa) pod and a light weight tapered carbon tailboom with a balsa tailplane mount. The built-up balsa fin is fixed to the tailboom and the tailplane is removable. The two piece wing is connected to the fuselage using a through joiner. This makes for fast and easy assembly at the field as the wing is retained by magnets - there is nothing to screw. The wing main spar is a tapered carbon tube, which provides excellent strength and very light weight. The model is being constantly developed and improved and the wing currently has three riblets between each full rib to ensure the covering material follows the airfoil contour super accurately � not one riblet as shown in some of the photos. There are two large spoilers for safely exiting thermals and precise landings.
The Vaiana Sport is supplied with a clear full size plan and has straight-forward construction. However please note that no manual or online build log is available so it is not suitable for beginners. The kit contents include all the necessary parts to build this model and includes several 3D printed parts to speed up the build process. The well selected balsa and ply parts are cleanly cut and the wound carbon spars are light and of high quality. All the control linkage parts and small accessories are included.
This model is one of the top F3-RES kits for 2021/22 and is highly recommended. It is also known as the Viana but the correct name is Vaiana Sport.
{i,Manufacturer's electric setup}
The engine used is the XM2225EG-23 (1600KV) propeller 8/4 Aero cam, 20 A regulator and 2S 450mAh LiPo. Consumption is about 14A and the 480g model climbs at 7m / s. The servos in the electric versions are in the center of gravity in the middle of the fuselage, the front is only the battery, ESC and receiver.

Unlike the X08 the A08 incorporates a complete case that covers the motor, making the servos much tougher and less susceptible to water ingress, handling and crash damage. Despite this the A08 servo is actually lighter and has more torque than the X08. The A08 is also slightly smaller than the X08, making it suitable for very tight installations.
The KST A08 is especially good for ailerons on discus launched gliders, electric racers, and all models with thin flying surfaces. Despite being only 8 mm thick the powerful coreless DC motor and gearing provide good torque and high speed. The A08 can be operated from a voltage as low as 3.8V (1S LiPo) or as high as 8.4V (2S LiPo). KST servos have excellent geartrain machining tolerances, and this servo is completely slop free, and equal to products costing twice as much. Despite not having an -MG moniker this servo has metal gears, and is very tough.
The KST A08's high torque, good speed, and 8mm thinness make it suitable for many high performance glider, pylon racers and EDF applications. With up to 3.2kg.cm torque the KST A08 is appropriate for F3K, F5D, F5J, many types of high performance models. The accessories include three strong nylon output arms, two double sided, and one single sided, one of which is low profile. This means that when the servos are mounted one in front of the other the control rod of the front one won't foul the rear one.

The A08H can be operated from a voltage as low as 3.8V (1S LiPo) or as high as 8.4V (2S LiPo). KST servos have excellent geartrain machining tolerances, and this servo is completely slop free, and equal to products costing twice as much. Despite not having an -MG moniker this servo has metal gears, and is very tough.
The KST A08H's high torque, good speed, and 8mm thinness make it suitable for many high performance glider, pylon racers and EDF applications. With up to 3.2kg.cm torque the KST A08H is appropriate for F3K, F5D, F5J, many types of high performance models. The accessories include three strong nylon output arms, two double sided, and one single sided, one of which is low profile. This means that when the servos are mounted one in front of the other the control rod of the front one won't foul the rear one.
The KST A08H V6 version is fully programmable using {href, products.asp?search=KST+Servo+Programming, KST's new programming tools}.

� c1S ���b�M GM-F5K-25 25mm GM F5K Spinner (No Collet)} The {b,GM 25 F5K Spinner} is a great new spinner for small F5K class 1m - 1.5m electric gliders.
The GM F5K Carbon 25mm Spinner Assembly has a carbon fibre cone and is suitable 5 mm root folding propeller blades with a 2mm hinge pin hole. The spinner assembly consists of a very nicely molded carbon fibre spinner cone, a 7075 alloy CNC yoke (centre piece), two polished steel hinge pins for mounting the prop blades and a hex end conical spinner retaining screw. The end of the hinge pins are threaded for securing them into the yoke. The spinner and prop assembly attach to the motor shaft using a conical split collet (purchased separately) which is clamped to the shaft by tightening the front clamping screw.
The GM F5K Carbon 25mm Spinner Assembly does not include the collet to attach the assembly to the motor or gearbox output shaft. This must be purchased separately, according to the diameter of the output shaft.
Benefits of the GM F5J Carbon 25mm Spinner Assembly include:
{bullet}
The accurately CNC machined 7075 aluminium yoke is generously proportioned, for maximum safety and power handling.
The cranked yoke design allows the prop blades to fold flatter to the fuselage.
Supplied with a beautiful moulded carbon spinner cone.
Split collet mounting reduced vibration and avoids the need for flats on the motor shaft.
By switching collets it can be used on most powertrains.

���b� MIRAIMirai F3-RES F5-RES 2m� The beautiful {b,Mirai} 2m RES glider kit is one of the most rewarding aircraft models for modellers - nothing compares to relaxation flying in weak conditions, circling under clouds and flying quietly in the evenings where you can sit back and watch your elegant model almost fly itself. The Mirai is a built from a nicely CNC cut balsa and ply kit, and is an upgrade from the manufacturer�s previous well acclaimed Circle Dancer 2000 model.
These 2m models, launched using a hi-start and controlled only by rudder, elevator and spoiler have their special competition category, now called F3L, in which is not about showing off, but about flying with similarly like minded model fliers. There is also a category F5-RES for two-meter gliders with electric propulsion.
The Mirai 2m is also ideal for anyone who wants to start building their own model the classic way out of balsa, plywood and spruce. It's fairly quick and there isn't much to build - MIRAI is easy model to build, though it's not suitable for absolute beginners.
The Mirai can be built as a pure glider or as an electric glider, and is available in V tail and conventional X tail versions.

{ServoSpecs} � � # � A� � � � � � � � � 2 D� c �� � ��b� KST-MS725KST MS725 Servo KST MS725 Servo - more info soon � � ; � � 0 � � � � � � � � < D� ak"� ���b� KST-TOOL1/KST Servo Programming Tool 1 - Button Interfacep The {b,KST Servo Programming Tool #1} is used for programming KST V6 and V8 servos without the need for a PC or other computer.
This tool has a simple press-button interface that allows the servo mid point and end points to be set. It also allows the direction of rotation to be reversed.
{b,Tool #1 User Guide}
1.1. When using with KST X08 and X10 servos power the Tool#1 using any 4.8V to 8.4V DC power source with an XT60 plug (eg a 2S LiPo battery). The exact same output voltage that is fed into the tool is output to the servo, so using a 3S or higher voltage LiPo will irretrievably damage any X08 or X10 servo. The tool DOES NOT regulate the voltage down to a safe level for the servo.
1.2. The voltage input needs to be set according to the working voltage range of different models of KST servos. Do not input high voltage at will. The correct voltage must be used in order not to burn the servo out. For example: if programming a KST X08 V6 servo, the working voltage range is 3.8V � 8.4V, so the input voltage range must be 4.8V-8.4V DC. Alternatively if programming a KST X20-12-M 835-1 servo the working voltage range is 9-13V, so the input voltage range must be 8.4V DC.
2. Output interface: There are two rows of contacts, for programming one servo. The second row is spare. To connect the servo, orient the servo plug so the orange wire is aligned to the "S" mark, and the brown wire to the "-" mark.
-- = servo negative = brown
+ = servo positive = red
S = servo PWM signal = orange
3. Power-on and setting operation steps
3.1. Connect the power supply. After power-on, Tool#1 will enter the self-test. After the self-test is successfully completed, the buzzer will sound twice, and the orange power light of P_LED will blink. You can now connect the servo.
3.2. After checking the correct voltage connect the servo to the RC plug port. After connecting the servo the Tool#1 will automatically recognize this and output a 1500us PMW signal to command the servo to the midpoint location. At this time, the LED below 1500us will turn red and the Tool#1 enters the midpoint setting mode.
3.3. Midpoint setting: After entering the midpoint setting mode, press the "+" and "-" buttons below the 1500us label to set the required servo arm position for the midpoint PMW value, then press the Enter button to confirm. After the confirmation is successful, the buzzer will sound once. This indicates that the midpoint setting is completed and the Tool#1 enters the left and right stroke setting mode.
3.4. Left and right stroke setting: Press the "+" and "-" buttons below the 1000us label to set the max output arm movement in the low PMW signal direction. Then press the "+" and "-" buttons below the 2000us label to set max movement in the other direction. Then press the Enter key to send this info to the servo. The buzzer will sound once to indicate that the left and right stroke setting has been successfully made. The orange power light of P_LED will also start flashing, indicating that all operations have been completed and Tool#1 will enter waiting state, ready for another servo to be connected.
3.5. To only set the servo midpoint position, enter the midpoint setting mode and press the Enter button twice after the setting is complete. To only set the left and right movements, after entering the midpoint setting mode, press the Enter button once to enter the left and right stroke setting mode. After the setting is completed, press the Enter button to complete the servo setup.
4. Use of "CW/CCW" button
4.1. CW = clockwise; CCW = counter-clockwise.
4.2. After entering the left and right stroke setting mode, press the "CW/CCW" button to reverse the servo rotation for a given change of input signal. Then press the Enter key to confirm.
5. The Reset button. The Reset button only resets the Tool#1, and does not reset the connected servo.

� � � � � � � � � � 2 � a� c0hr a ��b�� WIKIWiki F3-RES 2m� The {b,Wiki F3L} is latest fourth generation 2m balsa RES model from Tomas Hlavinka. It has had great reviews and competition success from the test pilots. F3L is the new names for F3-RES (pure glider) competion class.
The model was developed in collaboration and consultation with several top pilots and aerodynamicists. It is the ultimate RES model of 2021/22. WiKi draws on all the experience from four years of development, production and operation of the first model called KIWI, important customer references and the knowledge of competition and recreational pilots from all over the world.
The fuselage has a minimalist cross section for the least possible frontal drag. The wing is the geodesic wing design, which ensures maximum rigidity. This contributes, among other things, to a higher lift height and neutral behaviour in turbulent and highly thermal air. The optimized tip panel planform reduces induced drag.
The model can be built lighter for the same strength/stiffness. New profiles inspired by the latest F5J category profiles manufactured with FullCore technology and then modified for RES building capabilities. The emphasis was on increasing the penetration, this inevitably lead to reduce the maximum thickness of the profile and its deflection. The airfoil also produces less lift and so the weight of the airframe had to be reduced. Due to the now fully exploited potential of conventional construction, a unique and previously unused geodetic rib design was decided upon. This method increases the required wing stiffness by an order of magnitude. The result is a lighter airframe with greater stiffness, a thinner airfoil for high penetration, and a shallower wing depth for reduced drag. Less wing lift and the required low weight for the opposite of high lift after takeoff. The distribution of the profiles along the wing's semi-span ensures maximum glideability even at very low flying weight and stability when circling without the need for major control inputs.
Already the first comparative tests showed that the new model can keep up with the Kiwi in dead air thanks to its lower weight despite the smaller area. In active air, however, it is even better and more versatile thanks to its greater penetration. The two separate spoilers do not affect the model's handling even at low speeds. Landing on point is therefore precise and there is no need for wild elevator corrections. Circling is the stable and without trying to tighten, rudder response is immediate but adequate, the model can fly over a wide range of attitude and center of gravity angles, making it very versatile. Balast box is in wing, totaly weight of balast is 130g. Balast sets (steel and hard wood) with practical plywood box and electrofuselage will be available in separate kit.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � c� b��� ��b�� JOY-F5J Joy F5J 2.5m[ The {b, Joy F5J} is an all new 2.5m (98") span F5J electric glider from HQ Composites in Ukraine. With an excellent surface finish and a modern practical design this is sure to be a very successful model. The well proven AG series airfoils, combined with the high aspect ratio polyhedral wing and the low drag finish give this model a great all round performance, with easy thermalling and great legs for returning upwind after specing the glider out.
Special features of this model include:
{bullet}
A well designed low drag fuselage with an under-wing access hatch for easy RC installation and maintenance.
A large canopy hatch that springs into place, VM style. This gives easy access to the powertrain and allows quick battery changes.
A high aspect ratio polyhedral wing with Drela airfoils optimised for F5J flying - the wing is especially stable in thermal turns, allowing the model to be climbed away from small, weak thermals with minimal control input.
The wing maintains a good L/D up to higher speeds, allowing the Joy F5J to easily return from far downwind.
Excellent quality of construction with useful accessories supplied to allow a quick RC installation.
The two part wing and the tailplane are easily removable, allowing the model to be easily transported.
{endbullet} The fuselage is an all carbon one piece design with nose and underwing access hatches and a ready installed pylon for mounting the spead carbon tailplane. The SC fin and rudder is removable and is held in place with tape.
The wing is an all molded spread carbon over blue foam structure with a great surface finish, and very good strength, considering its low weight. It is noteworthy that the wiring for the flap and aileron servos is built in, with the sockets already built into the wing roots, and skeleton conductors for inserting into the servo plugs - no soldering required - just tape over the plugs after inserting the conductors.
The accessory bag contains fuselage servo mount, carbon servo covers, wire and tubes for flap and aileron pushrods, pull cable and torque springs for the tail surfaces, all control horns and the fuselage end of the wiring harness. Also included is a firewall for recessed installation 30mm behind the front of the fuselage. This is suitable for mounting a 28mm dia outrunner, but will not work with any of the motors we stock. These will require a 32mm front firewall.

Angelwing Design are proud to introduce the Pug V2 Micro DLG. Retaining the same dimensions and outlines we have refined the Pug to fly better, look better, to build better, to reduce sanding and totally revised the canopy hatch. Our prototype weighs in at 91g ready to fly with a full decal set, and we just do not think it needs to be any lighter at all..
The most striking changes are:
{bullet}
1.5mm carbon rod trailing edge, this enhances the appearance, improves the wings overall strength and most importantly allows us to refine the wing section for even more efficient flight.
Resin Printed Horizontal Stab mount, pushrod guides, canopy retainer and Wing hold down brackets. The wing hold downs encapsulate a 3mm steel nut and completely eliminate the requirement to manually drill, tap and harden the threads in the previously used plwood plates.
Totally new canopy hatch, using a tongue lip at the front and a 6mm double magnet catch at the rear, eliminates the need for tape of flexing of the hatch to pop it on and off.{endbullet} In addition to the structural design changes we now include an option RES fin in the kit for those who wish to bungee launch or fly from the slope rather than to use the Pug as a DLG. Gentle side arm launches are still possible with this fin set, but not intended for high power DLG launches.
#There is also an optional V tail available as an add on. The V tail is a great solution for Slope flying and Bungee (not suitable for DLG) and for a striking different look

PUG-V-TAILPug 2 V Tail Upgrade Add-on kit to convert the PUG 2 glider to have a V tail. Contains balsa wood tail, 3D printed tail mount and instruction sheet. The V tail utilises the control horns as provided in the standard kit and is for a 4mm tailboom.
This upgrade is a great option for slope and hi-start fliers, but is a no-no for discus launchers. The V tail looks cool and flies great on the slope but will badly affect discus launches and could even cause structural failure.

ALPENBRISE
Alpenbrise 4m Alpenbrise was designed to be a really good looking compact sized Alpine Soarer, and designed to be a possible successor to the great Alpina. The stiff, light, construction gives Alpenbrise complete freedom of the air and it will soar in the lightest of lift, while ballasted it has superb energy retention and aerobatic properties. With its own special shriek on fast passes, as the vortices are shed at the wingtips, the Alpenbrise has a real presence when flying. As part of the original design envelope, the Alpenbrise is also eminently suitable for the Triangle GPS light class.

From their experience flying the BAMF they saw that higher heights and higher penetration were always required to keep pushing forward. They saw that competition is biasing towards planes that penetrate very strongly with less disturbance from turbulence, so they developed he BAMF2 with those goals in mind.
Aerodynamically, the wing shape was modified to be less affected by turbulence while the lift is slightly increased closer to the root. All cross-sections on the fuselage are decreased and the pushrod exits are further refined for a tighter install. In terms of flying philosophy, we feel there are two ways to tackle high winds: fly extremely fast with a lower L/D so you can reach somewhere faster, so even though L/D is lower you will reach the target area quicker and less affected by the outside forces (wind & turbulence), or secondly slightly slower than extreme but retain very high L/D so even though it may take you a few seconds to get back you should get back with a little extra height.
Armsoar have always preferred the second method of tackling wind. As such, the Vibe was designed that way and many will know it's not the fastest out there but comes back home with height to spare. Think of the BAMF 2 as taking what the Vibe had but further increasing the L/D and with a very strong launch height ability.
Mechanically, Armsoar wanted/needed a model that can really break down small. As such, the BAMF 2 comes with a center split 2-piece wing with a fat carbon joiner, with the option of a very simple removable fin that will be strong enough for *most* pilots. For extremely powerful launchers, it's probably still safer to glue the fin on. The nose is extended to reduce the need for nose weight and to make gear selection, install and maintenance extremely easy.
The BAMF 2 is made in Ukraine. All models are made with solid Cascell cores, carbon shear webs, and high-quality finish. Images shown are a representation of the model only and may differ slightly due to the handmade nature of the model.

� � � � � �2� � � � � � � � � { 5� Ukraineb . ��b�� FURY
Fury F5K 1.5m�
The {b,Fury F5K} is a purpose-designed F5K electric glider from Armsoar.
{b,Performance}
While others are using converted DLG wings, the Fury is designed from the ground up based on the current F5K rules. Due to the wing loading requirements, we believe F5K models will require larger wing areas coupled with higher lift airfoils. With that in mind, the Fury�s aero is based on the BAMF with Synergy 2 airfoils but scaled up in wing area and with the airfoils redistributed. As a result, the Fury will still be able to fly �light� even when flown at higher wing loadings. This has resulted in a model that is:
{bullet}
Very easy to fly
Friendly handling
Forgiving to pilot errors, such as flying too slowly or with too much camber
All-round model, optimized for working low and light thermals{endbullet}
{b,Ease of Building & Reliability}
ArmSoar�s products have all focused on simplicity in assembly to make it not only easy to build but be rock solid and reliable. The Fury uses four servos installed in the belly of the fuselage, screwed down in a servo tray. Ample room in the nose allows for more gear selection based on your preference. QuikLink pushrods keep flaperons nice and tight, while the tails actuate with pull-spring like DLGs.
{b,Construction}
For ease of transportation, the wing is removable and splits down the center. Both the fin and stabilizer are also removable, helping the Fury minimize the storage and transport footprint. The Fury is made in Ukraine along with our BAMF and Deviant models. Needless to say, the quality is top-notch with a precise fit and shiny finish. All parts are produced in CNC milled aluminum moulds, and all flying surfaces have a solid Cascell core for an incredible strength-to-weight ratio. The fuselage is carbon but has a fibreglass nose for compatibility with your radio receiver. Images shown are a representation of the model only and may differ slightly due to the handmade nature of the model.

Have you always wanted a model that you can just get in the air and start flying whenever you get the urge? You need a Deviant in your life :)
The {b,Deviant} is a successor to the GO Mini in many ways. It takes all that we have learned from the GO Mini and takes it a step further. Built on the proof that a large low-AR wing helps boost both the performance and handling of a 1-meter model, the Deviant continues with the low-AR design with optimizations to launch and penetration. Even in higher winds where other 1 meter models will struggle, the Deviant will stay on step, and when needed, it will take ballast like nothing else.
The construction has also been upgraded to the level of our BAMF models. Made in HAAS machined aluminum moulds, their fit and finish are second to none. And with the experience of our builders in Ukraine, you can expect the quality to be the best on the market.
While the models have retained a full-carbon structure, the foam core has been swapped from the GO Mini's XPS core to Cascell for better stiffness, ease of build and repairs, and resistance to hanger rash.
The nosecone design makes it very easy to handle the model on the field, and when you damage the nosecone, you can swap it out for a new nosecone helping keep the model looking fresh.

The ground breaking DS Composites {b,Vortex 4} four servo wing DLG is prbably the most highly regarded DLG currently available. The extra controllability of the separate flap and aileron control surfaces gives greater manoeuvrability with less control surface drag in thermal turns and normal flight modes. However the ability to have crow braking on landing greatly improves control on approach and landing, reducing the likelihood of fumbled catches and resultant damage. Plus the thoroughbred low drag design of the Vortex 4 and excellent surface finish give high launches and an excellent glide angle.
Like the Vortex 3 the build quality is excellent and the engineering is very impressive. Apart from of course perfectly molded carbon parts the kit comes with a very nicely engineered system for automatic connection of the aileron controls when the wing is attached. This is a different level of convenience and functionality to other DLGs we sell.
Supplied with a complete accessory bag including all the items necessary to complete the model. Two servo trays are included, for KST X08 and MKS DS65K servos.
The MKS servo tray cutout is 22mm x 17mm, making it suitable for 4 DS65K servos. To fit 4 DS75K servos in the MKS tray 0.5 mm needs to be trimmed from each edge of both cutouts.
The KST servo tray cutout is 23.5mm x 16mm, making it suitable for 4 X08 servos or A08 servos. The cutouts are too large for the X06.
Note, the top mounting surface on both trays is flat, so servo installation may require thin spacers to raise the 2 front servos so that the tail strings clear the aileron pushrods.
We are stocking the two piece wing version (2pw) with a bottom mounted tailplane, in various layups.
#We highly recommend that the model is purchased with the good quality #{href,https://www.hyperflight.co.uk/products.asp?code=VORTEX-BAGS,Vortex Wing Bags} and the economic

The Explorer Q5 can also be used for as a F5J glider (especially for windy conditions) and for slope soaring in light to moderate conditions.
The Explorer 5 airfoil is based on the successful Explorer 2/3 airfoils (F3J and F5J champions), resulting in a wing that gives the glider the perfect combination of speed and good climb rate, which is very important in the GPS Triangle Light Class category.
The kit is supplied with:

Please go to the {pref, Medina,Medina F3L/F5L} page if you are not automatically redirected.</b>
Created by Armsoar in partnership with Performance Models in Australia, the {b,E-Medina} uses new airfoils purpose-designed for the flight envelope of modern F3/F5-RES competition flying. The wingtips are specifically optimized for great tip-stalling characteristics and could handle high variations in angle of attack. The result? A glider that turns tighter and more efficiently than similar designs, perfect for low-level thermal flying
The properly-sized and removable V-tail is designed for control and great low speed handling, crucial during soft thermals and the landing phase. And of course, the V-tail not only looks good, but helps minimize the overall drag of the E-Medina for better L/D in all aspects of the flight envelope.
The fuselage is minimalistic but fit our ArmSoar 1806 powertrains perfectly, further minimizing overall drag from the completed model.

This improves the reliability of the servo enormously, while also proviing better accuracy and resolution. The A12-T also benefits from an ultra-efficient coreless motor, a steel gear train, aluminum case, slow start, low current consumption and constant power output. These make it perfect for high performance gliders, larger electric models and jets.
This servo uses a mini 25 tooth (Futaba) output spline for maximum compatibility with the large variety of aftermarket control horns. Supplied accessories include two strong red nylon output arms, and three normal strength white nylon output arms.

You only have to watch some of the {href, https://www.facebook.com/salahi.tezel/videos/3160655740648725/, hand launch videos} (via Facebook unfortunately) to see this is no ordinary model, it has an exceedingly low sink rate and an excellent glide angle. The {b,Magic EL} shows that well engineered built up models can equal and even exceed the best composites, at least in low lift/low wind conditions. It really lives up to its name.
The {b,Magic Electric} is designed to fly well in all conditions, from light airs to 15 mph winds. Designed by Salahi Tezel it was developed from the Magic Pro over 8 months and has an elliptical wing to minimise induced drag. By modifying the Drela AG24/25/26 airfoils and improving the wing structure the effect of the bumpiness of film covered wings was mitigated, reducing local flow separations. This improved the performance and flying characteristics, enabling easy and tight circles even in small and weak thermals. The Magic Electric has a flying weight of about 425 g (15 oz)
#and has ballast provision to allow flight in higher winds.
The model uses carbon fibre tubular spars and tailbooms to simplify construction and minimise weight. The three piece wings have two riblets between each full rib to almost eliminate covering sag. The wing has two spoilers to reduce the trim change when applying brakes, and the large spoiler area allows almost vertical descents, stopping the possibility of fly-aways and allowing easily controlled spot landings.
The substantial fuselage is constructed from 3 mm balsa and plywood. The tailboom is a 9 mm carbon tube, ready slotted for fitting the fin and tailplane mounts. All servos are placed in the pod with the control surfaces actuated using pull-springs.
The tailplane uses a carbon spar for lightness and rigidity and is mounted on a lightweight fitting attached to the boom. Both the tailplane and fin are detachable for easy transport.
The kit consists of balsa and ply parts, a well drawn plan, and all accessories apart from RC, glue and covering material. We recommend Oracover Light covering is used.

GM CL (Contest Line) spinners and prop blades must be used together. They cannot be used with non CL blades or spinners.
The hinge pin axis on the yoke/hub is angled in 3 planes (axes) so that the blade rotates to be closer to the fuselage then folded, reducing drag.
They are also lighter than the normal GM F5J components.
If normal blades are used on a CL yoke/hub the blade will be at much too high a pitch.

P ���b�m WIKI-ARF Wiki 2m ARTF� We have a small number of {b, beautifully hand built Wiki F3-RES/F3L 2m geodetic wing RES gliders}. These models look fantastic and have exceptionally good performance. The below details are for the unbuilt kit version:
The {b,Wiki F3L} is latest fourth generation 2m balsa RES model from Tomas Hlavinka. It has had great reviews and competition success from the test pilots. F3L is the new names for F3-RES (pure glider) competion class.
The model was developed in collaboration and consultation with several top pilots and aerodynamicists. It is the ultimate RES model of 2021/22. WiKi draws on all the experience from four years of development, production and operation of the first model called KIWI, important customer references and the knowledge of competition and recreational pilots from all over the world.
The fuselage has a minimalist cross section for the least possible frontal drag. The wing is the geodesic wing design, which ensures maximum rigidity. This contributes, among other things, to a higher lift height and neutral behaviour in turbulent and highly thermal air. The optimized tip panel planform reduces induced drag.
The model can be built lighter for the same strength/stiffness. New profiles inspired by the latest F5J category profiles manufactured with FullCore technology and then modified for RES building capabilities. The emphasis was on increasing the penetration, this inevitably lead to reduce the maximum thickness of the profile and its deflection. The airfoil also produces less lift and so the weight of the airframe had to be reduced. Due to the now fully exploited potential of conventional construction, a unique and previously unused geodetic rib design was decided upon. This method increases the required wing stiffness by an order of magnitude. The result is a lighter airframe with greater stiffness, a thinner airfoil for high penetration, and a shallower wing depth for reduced drag. Less wing lift and the required low weight for the opposite of high lift after takeoff. The distribution of the profiles along the wing's semi-span ensures maximum glideability even at very low flying weight and stability when circling without the need for major control inputs.
Already the first comparative tests showed that the new model can keep up with the Kiwi in dead air thanks to its lower weight despite the smaller area. In active air, however, it is even better and more versatile thanks to its greater penetration. The two separate spoilers do not affect the model's handling even at low speeds. Landing on point is therefore precise and there is no need for wild elevator corrections. Circling is the stable and without trying to tighten, rudder response is immediate but adequate, the model can fly over a wide range of attitude and center of gravity angles, making it very versatile. Balast box is in wing, totaly weight of balast is 130g. Balast sets (steel and hard wood) with practical plywood box and electrofuselage will be available in separate kit.
RTF weight: from 370g
Wing area: 34dm2
Lenght: 1200m

� � � � K� � � � � � � � d � � c-�� � ���b�u PICO-PLUS-JRGPicoSwitch Plus - Magnetic RC On-Off Switch for batteries with RC plugs� The {b,PicoSwitch Plus} is a lightweight magnetic switch and is ideal for RC gliders and DLGs. This device allows the radio control gear to be switched on and off by holding the supplied magnet close to the switch for three seconds. This version has a standard RC (JR) socket at the battery end, making it suitable for most RC receiver batteries. The receiver end is fitted with a standard RC (JR) plug, as used on servos.
If the switch is mounted under fuse skin the magnet can be outside and the switch inside, so the RC can be switched on without removing the access hatch. Careful firmware design ensures that stray magnetic fields cannot toggle the switch incorrectly.
The device defaults to {b,on} when first powered up - this safety feature means that if there is a brief voltage drop caused by a bad connection or low battery voltage the device will stay on when the voltage returns. It also means that the model can be flown if the magnet is lost, just unplug and re-plug the receiver battery to switch it on.
{b,The benefits of this magnetic RC on-off switch}
{bullet}
Clever firmware indicates when the switch is sensing the magnet to give instant feedback.
When switched on the LED flashes indicating the RC is now on.
The flashes are very brief to keep the switch's energy usage to a minimum.
The magnetic switch utilises a Hall Effect Sensor (no mechanical switching parts).
Safe and reliable :
Default to on - if the battery is disconnected and then reconnected the output will turn on every time.
The magnetic switch is programmed to ensure the magnet is over the sensor for 3 seconds without interruption and only then will it toggle the switch state.
Extremely resilient to magnetic interference due to the algorithm used.
{endbullet}
{b,Switch Installation}
When the switch is plugged into the power supply for the first time the output will turn on and the LED will flash.
{bullet}
Place the switch as close to the fuselage or wing surface as possible.
Use a thin piece of double sided tape to hold the switch in place.
To locate the sensor simply sweep over the approximate sensor location area, when the Hall effect device sees the magnet the LED will turn solid on indicating the perfect position.
Use a marker pen and mark where the sensor is located.
{endbullet}
{b,Magnetic Switch Operation}
{bullet}
To turn the switch off place the supplied magnet over the sensor and the LED will light up continuously. Hold the magnet in place for 3 seconds without interruption. Tip: count 1, 1000, 2, 2000, 3, 3000.
To turn on the RC hold the magnet over the sensor again, no delay required.
{endbullet}
Please ensure a full range check of the model is undertaken prior to use. The pack includes the switch and two small neodymium magnets - one needed plus a spare. It does not include the {pref, PICO-KEYFOB, Magnetic Keyfob and Lanyard} shown in the related products sidebar. To mount the magnet and make it more visible cut some balsawood to the required size, make a hole for the magnet, and cover it with sticky tape.

Also the cut out in the spinner cone often needs to be increased to allow the blades to fully extend. The root of the blade should not touch the spinner cone when the prop is fully opened.

VITA12X8V2$Vitaprop 12x8 V2 Folding prop blades This new slimmer design of {b,Vitaprop 12 x 8 V2 folding propeller blades} has improved efficiency over the original Vitaprop blades. They are suitable for HyperFlight's and other makes of folding prop yokes and spinners.
These blades are very high quality carbon moldings with an excellent aerodynamic design to maximise efficiency. They will tend to pull a little less current than cheaper folding propellers. They are designed for reasonably high power levels and best possible efficiency.

Lightweight and very compact, this ESC is perfect for F5K electrified DLGs and F5-RES 2m models.
The ESC has been setup for glider operation with a brake and has the battery wire with JST BEC connector ready fitted. The three motor wires need to be soldered to the lands on the PCB. Swap any two wires if the motor rotates in the wrong direction.
A JST BEC socket has been fitted for convenience as most small batteries use a JST BEC plug, however this plug may overheat when used at higher currents. For safety we recommend the JST BEC connector is replaced with a larger plug if currents over 18A will be employed.
Ready programmed with brake on and set to 90% braking power.

� 2� � P� � � � � � � � � "� c/=T � ���b� SPIN-ELECSpinthing Electric 1.2me Following the current trend, the Schloiderding F5K (we are calling it the Spinthing Electric) is a powered mini discus launch type model, of 1.2m (48") span.
Despite its compact dimensions, it is has good performance and is attractive to all levels of model plane flyers, from beginners to experts. The tail unit has been improved over the glider version and in the F5K version is now superior, with improved damping and directional control.
Except for the tail boom, the Spinthing Electric is made entirely of wood and is therefore easy to repair if the worst comes to the worst. A sanding aid is included to help achieve the correct wing profile. With this tool the wing surface can be shaped very easily and quickly.
Equipped with a Hacker A10 or Pichler Pulsar Micro 1510/1650, a 7x4-8x5 prop, 2S 300-600 LiPo, 15A BL controller, 2 small servos and a small receiver, a low flying weight can be achieved. The performance in powered flight is more than sufficient.
