The SZD-56 Diana is a 15 metre class glider originally designed by Bogumil Beres at PZL-Bielsko.
However, PZL Bielsko went bankrupt before it could be put into serial
production.
The rights to the design were taken over by a new entity, Diana Sailplanes,
which developed the design further and called it the Diana 2.
By 2011
the aircraft was being produced by Design Office Bogumil Beres. The
glider first flew on 12 January 2005. (source wiki)
This is a 1:4 scale Diana 2 model of this popular sailplane. It has been
designed for general sport flying with the latest technology for
aerodynamic performance. Diana
2 is made using 100% molded technology.
This Diana 2 can be flown as a sport sloper or thermal soaring
model and has a wide speed envelope. Diana 2 uses an
airfoil profile often used in F3B competition models. Thus, you will be
able to fly slowly in thermals, rapidly in speed runs, and a good glide
ratio for distance flying. This broad speed range allows to enjoy a versatile glider. Diana 2 handles beautifully while
circling in thermals and is very gentle on final approach and landing.
This all molded kit is coming with a high
quality white epoxy Fiberglas fuselage, and has the wing joiner carrying
tube installed. The fiberglass molded and carbon reinforced wings are finished and control surfaces a live hinged, no additional work is required on the wings, except installing
the wing servos and respective linkages . The elevator is finished all molded, the rudder is
finished too. A clear plastic canopy and a fiberglass canopy tray is
supplied and pre-assembled. Only a few hours are required to
finish this glider. Detailed instructions and a hardware package are
completing the kit.
