The Ibis wing features SD7080 airfoil that was specially modified for this sailplane, the benefit of that are very wide speed range and good thermal abilities. Its flying weight is approx. 1140 grams (40 oz.) and could be use for thermal and slope flying in light to moderate wind condition. Its full potential is reviled when flying in moderate wind condition and plain is ballast to 1600 + g of flying weight. The Ibis wing could be built with ailerons and flaps or only with the ailerons if desired by the builder.
Features:
composite fuselage pod is made of few layers of fiber glass with glass roving and carbon fiber reinforcements for extra strength. It has removable canopy for easy access to the radio gear. The V-shaped wing saddle with molded in nuts for the wing mounting bolts.
- tapered tail boom is made of carbon fiber/glass composite.
- wing cores are precision cut from white polystyrene foam, and the black poplar veneer is
bonded to the foam with aircraft industry grade epoxy in high pressure molds for perfect airfoil fidelity and a warp-free wing.
- composite vertical stabilizer is made of few layers of light fiber glass and carbon fiber for extra strength
- light weight Horizontal stabilizer and rudder are made of foam cores preeshited with thin poplar veneer for durability and stiffness and has pre-hinged control surfaces and
Kit contains:
