The V-tail, is still removable for ease of transportation and control surfaces are actuated by the installed push rods, allowing precise control of the elevator. Servos are installed underneath the wings, allowing easy access.
The
whole wing is a moulded D-box construction, even the trailing edge,
improving the overall stiffness of the wing. Aileron and flaps are
molded and Kevlar hinged for extra durability. This, combined
with an overall easy handling, results in a sailplane that will allow
you to work small low-level thermals with confidence.
All parts of the Magellan are
pre-finished, so very little time is required to get it into the
air. The two-piece wing is completely finished and covered in Oracover
Light, it holds together by means of a steel rod and against the
fuselage with bolts. The buil-up V-tail with moulded control surfaces is covered and ready to bolt on.
The fuselage comes complete with a trimmed canopy, wing hold down block.
You will need 6 of your favorite sub-micro servos and a micro receiver.
Hardware package and instruction are completing the kit.
We
have created an extremely well balanced setup for this glider by using a
small powerful outrunner in its spinner the Compact 700 (which weights only 58 g, including spinner), this
setup will give a nice 200-250 W, power level can be adjusted
by changing prop size to suit pilots wanted climb rate. Other setups
available upon request!
