This one it meant for those chill-out flights in the evening.
We choose 5.5:1 scale for a wingspan of 4.8 meters
(189"). The molds are ready in January 1997 - let's see if
the target weight of 3 kg (6.6 lb) is a realistic
one...
Fuselage: There's no transparent hood - it will be
painted on the fuse. The wing cutout allows access to the inside.
Wing: Three pieces with 1.6 m each. Carbon
sheeting with foam core and carbon spar. A total of 6 servos in
the wing. Airfoils HD91 (10%, inboard) to HD94 (7,5%, outboard).
Root chord 154 mm (6.1"), tip chord 37 mm
(1.5").
Propulsion: 16 cells, MEB or Kontronik brushless
geared motor.
