GRAUPNER Thermik Sport
Radio-Controlled Gliders for RC Pilots
Overview
The THERMIK-SPORT was designed especially for the new SPEED GEAR 700 2.7:1 geared motor. With 8 NC cells the model produces a smooth climb, making it a very attractive choice for the relatively inexperienced RC pilot. The more proficient model pilot will appreciate the models rapid rate of climb with 10 or 12 NC cells.
The unusual wing design features relatively short tip panels and large ailerons on theinboard panels, combining the advantages of an inherently stable model with the effective directional control of ailerons. The relative beginner will find that this arrangement makes for a straightforward transition to aileron-controlled models. Naturally the ailerons can also double as airbrakes, enabling the pilot to achieve accurate spot landings after extended thermal flights.
The model is supplied in a practical transit case which can be used to carry the finished machine to the flying field. The wings are two-part and the tailplane is removable.
