PLEASE NOTE THIS MODEL CAN BE BUILT AS A GLIDER OR AN ELECTRIC GLIDER (Motor, ESC, Battery, Charger and Prop Not Included)
The completely new HABICHT, constructed in CAD and manufactured in CNC laser technology, is the ideal entry-level model for model aircraft. Even the experienced model builder will enjoy it. The construction of the model is deliberately kept very simple and is thus also easy to manage by the inexperienced model builder. All components are laser-cut with high precision. The building instruction with numerous pictures leads well through the construction. The model is controlled by elevator and rudder, in the electric version also with motor control. The wing profile was developed from the profiles of modern high-performance models and gives HABICHT a high glide performance with low sink rate. Also the model penetrates well against stronger wind. The V-shape of the wing has been reduced to give the model excellent manoeuvrability, yet high inherent stability.
The Fuselage is made of a from plywood and balsa wood parts. It is very robust and forgives many a hard landing. The canopy is removed via a magnetic lock so that there is convenient access to the flight battery (electric version) and the fittings. The wing is secured with rubber bands. It is a light ribbed construction, which is planked on the surface in the nose area. The tail units are constructed from laser cut individual parts.
The RC equipment of the glider requires a receiver battery with approx. 1,000 mAh and switch, the receiver with 2-4 channels and two servos with 15,5 mm width. Light motors with 26 or 28 mm diameter, a suitable BEC controller and a 3s-LiPo with approx. 1,300 mAh are intended to power the electric version - a very economical drive combination. Thanks to the divided wing, the model is also easy to transport in a backpack, on a bicycle and in small cars. The glider can also be launched on the slope with the rubber rope in the plain. The electric version is also in no way inferior to the glider in terms of gliding characteristics.
Additional items are required to complete model as illustrated. Main Image shows both versions of the model. Please note kit only contains parts to build one or other version.
