New offering from Topmodel...
http://www.topmodel.fr/en/product-de...tition-carbone
We chose to reproduce the magnificent South African glider of JONKER company for next seasons GPS triangle sailplane competitions.
The aerodynamic design was entrusted to Franck Aguerre, a talented aeronautical engineer and well know modeler. For this formula one of the air, he specially designed a wing airfoil, the FAD22.
The fantastic wing has an exclusive system of adaptive twisting.
The massive use of carbon and kevlar for the construction of the airframe, the latest technology and the know-how of the manufacturer provides an empty weight, ready to fly, truly amazing for a scale sailplane of 7 meters wingspan of... 12kg!
Of course, and to stick to the rules (wing Max load 115g/dm²), the water-ballastlocated both in the fuselage and the wings allow to raise up the weight to 16.9kg to turn the triangles on top speed when the weather is convenient!
Unlike our competitors, we made the bet to keep the geometry of the model strictly conform to the ultra-modern full-size glider, rather than to reproduce an "Oldtimer" to have a geometry that is more like a XXL F3B !
