RCRCM Sunbird XTail

Radio-Controlled Gliders for RC Pilots

Overview

The Sunbird is an all molded composite glider with remarkable quality finish. It features ailerons and flaps allowing many mixes for better performance.

Sunbird represents all the things we love about the bigger birds, in a more convenient package. Sunbird is part of a new generation of compact, precision, full composite, hollow molded hotlines racers. This new generation of fast airplanes is designed and built to be extremely lightweight with great strength and full competition capabilities. From its super-efficient X-Tail, to its generous nose area, this little Sunbird was built for fun! Like it's larger siblings, the Sunbird sports ailerons and flaps on its two piece wing. The aerofoil section is probably quite advanced for this kind of plane and gives a very wide speed range and possibility of operation in a wide range of wind conditions. Added to that, the radio bay is large enough to enable installation of the servos and radio pack without resorting to micro surgery, while the fuselage and in fact the whole plane still has a pleasing and balanced shape.

Features:

  • Excellent Flight Performance: High maneuverability, good speed range, and no bad habits across varying conditions.
  • Slow, Safe Landings: Large control surfaces and effective flaps allow controlled, low-speed landings even in tight flying areas.
  • Premium Composite Wing: Two-piece hollow-molded Carbon Fiber or Glass wing with carbon-reinforced structure and square joiner.
  • Full House Controls: Rudder, Elevator, Ailerons, and Flaps for complete sailplane authority.
  • High-Quality Finish: Smooth gel-coated surface with pre-painted graphics, live hinges, pre-installed wipers, and a full-flying stabilizer with bellcrank.
