Inside the Top Model Wing

Ventus 2CX

Ever wonder what makes up those high quality parts? Well, wonder no-more. We can show you!

Top Model designs their scale wings to be sturdy, light weight, and easy to transport. The wings have a foam core surrounded by obechi sheeting with carbon fiber reinforcement. The wing is then covered in Ultracote. Both the wing and fuselage have pre-installed wiring harnesses that also include multi-pin connectors for fast, trouble-free setup at the field. Due to Topmodel’s ingenious retention system, the wings are easy to remove and transport, yet kept secure when in flight.

Calling All Angels!

Charlie and Her Angels (Albatros & Super Sport)

This pup loves to chase after our Albatros Classic Sport 3E and Super Sport 2.35E, and these angelic aircraft are definitely worthy of chasing.

Classic in design, but not lacking in technological advancement, the Albatros Classic Sport is one of our favorite choices for a trip to the flying field. It sports a gel-coated fiberglass fuselage, balsa/ply D-tube wing, and a carbon/balsa built up tail. The three meter wing is in three pieces wing for easy travel and storage. Complete with the ailerons, elevator, rudder, and flaps, you are in full control as you fly. As a final touch, the wing and tail are beautifully covered in transparent Ultracote.

Check out the specs here.

The Super Sport 2.35 is another beautifully designed aircraft. This airframe also has a gel-covered fuselage, carbon and balsa built up tail, and a two piece wing that has a carbon fiber main spar/leading edge. Like the Albatros Classic Sport you also have ultimate control while flying with ailerons, elevator, rudder, and flaps.

We Are Done, Scale Full Composite Windex 1200C is Alive & Well!!!

On By hajek

The Windex 1200C is a powered sailplane for amateurs construction build by WINDEXAIR AB. Windex 1200c is primarily a high-performance sailplane, but its unique concept with a low-drag fin-mounted engine installation and a variable-pitch propeller turns it also into an efficient touring aircraft with a cruising speed of 210km/h (130 mph). In addition to this the airframe of Windex 1200C is designed for aerobatic routine. The model is very well reproduced and belongs into the super scale class, with its outstanding cockpit interior, beautiful gel-coated finish and excellent flying characteristics. Flying is just amazing due to the acceptable wing loading, it thermals well without any bad behavior and smooth and predictable handling.

With its fiberglass fuselage and carbon fiber reinforced, hollow molded wings the WinDex can handle full day of soaring as well as complete aerobatic routine. The careful use of composites creates a good light structure that will hold its shape for a long time.

The New Slash Mini Hotliner is Here!

On By ariana

Check out the Brand new Slash Hotliner! Slash is an excellent entry level mini Hotliner.

This airplane is especially designed for pilots who are looking for multipurpose fast electric sailplane. Strong enough for fast dives, but still light enough for thermal soaring. Slash has been re-designed for better flying characteristics with new classic balsa, built-up, D-box, rib/main spare wing design.

Also included are the fiberglass gel-coated fuselage and balsa built-up tail parts. 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.
