Store Display, Brand NEW Grafas MAXi 3.5 electric sailplane battery and receiver ready. Model has been expertly built at our shop for local competition.

Condition of item: Store Display, Never Flown, Brand NEW

One of the most impressive European made sailplanes that we have ever seen, the new Grafas MAXi 3.5E flies as good as it looks. The new Grafas MAXi 3.5E was designed as the latest and largest addition to the ever-growing family of hand-made electric sailplanes by TopModel CZ. Gentle, smooth, and very long flights are the standards for this beauty. The careful use of composites with competition balsa, creates a good light structure that will hold its shape for a long time. The synergy of low weight and strong structure is very unusual in a production sailplane and can only be achieved with careful attention to design and construction.

The entire model is constructed using free-flight techniques. Top Model uses the latest construction techniques such as CNC milling and laser cutting. The wings as well as horizontal tail are all balsa built-up with Carbon Fiber main spare and leading edge. The fuselage is gel-coated fiberglass with white finish. Whole model is covered with Ultracote. All control surfaces are hinged with adhesive tape. This fully built sailplane needs only basic assembly and motor/radio installation. The 3-piece wing and full flying stabilizer are each easily removable for transport and storage. Each part is carefully hand-crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Value is simply incredible.

We’ve Got The New Elite Power Sliding Touch Switch for Voltario & Jeti Devices.

The Elite Sliding Touch Switch is an electronic device that can be used to turn ON and OFF the electronics in your RC model. It can replace any electronic or mechanical switch that uses a logical voltage level on its output. Features configurable touch sensitivity, last power-on status is stored in the internal memory, and very low standby current.

You do not need any additional tools to power up your model (such as a magnet in the case of a magnetic switch). The advantage of an electronic switch is that it offers a virtual unlimited ON/OFF cycle, unlike mechanically operated switches.

The faceplate contains an integrated LED to indicate the ON/OFF status of the switch. Should any of the devices become disconnected from the switch, the device will stay ON and switch will remember its last state.

Easy installation, place the Touch Switch anywhere on the aircraft fuselage – either outside or inside the fuselage. Please note, that if you install the switch inside the fuselage, the maximum allowed surface thickness must not exceed 1/8″ (3mm) and the material must be non-conductive (plywood, fiberglass).

Operational Current: 12mA
Operational Voltage: 4V to 16.8V
Dimensions: 42mm x 16mm x 8mm
Weight: 3g

The New Jeti Electronic Dual Power Switch V-Cable 4A/12A (Mini Power Redundancy)

The Jeti V-Cable is a dual input battery isolator. The Jeti Mini V-Cable isolates two power sources (Two Receiver Batteries/Backup Battery and BEC) keeping your system operational if one of the power sources accidentally fails.

The V-Cable is designed for two independent 5V – 8.4V power inputs and supports up to 4A continuous current or 12A burst current for your connected devices. This unit is most suitable for light weight models, like electric or thermal duration sailplanes, in which you want to run two separate power sources. Please note that V-Cable does not include a regulator, output voltage is equal to the larger of two input voltages.
