ECLIPSON AIRPLANES Model V2
Radio-Controlled Gliders for RC Pilots
Overview
This is the version 2 of our successful Model V. Drag and weight are the two main enemies of any flying machine, reducing those two forces to the minimum was one of the main goals of this project since the conceptual phase. The drag was reduced thanks to its streamlined shapes, clean design, V tail, high aspect ratio or winglets. The wing has a great balance between safety (docile stall characteristic) efficiency (high lift to drag ratio) maneuverability (high roll rate) and strength (Reinforced with carbon fiber tubes).
The size of this motorglider is perfect to be manufactured with a 3D printer because it is large enough to achieve a docile flight and small enough to be manufactured quickly, easily and cheaply
Features:
- Motor glider
- Low wing trainer (LW-PLA)
