From Aer-O-Tec-
We had been working many years now on this project but finally our partners and producer of this model came up with this high quality glider. it was worth waiting for it !
IKURA features F3B-technology with high strength and low weight , highest quality and superb design with a scale-like look and t-tail configuration. Fuselage is big enough for electro outrunner motors and 6s-battery. Latest airfoil design and elegant look makes it a unique glider !
Similar to our best seller ORCA, IKURA has changeable wingtips for easy transport and variability for different wing spans and tiplets.
You can fly IKURA on the slope as a pure glider or on the flat field soaring from winch launching or after start with electro motor.
We had many testflights and the performance is fantastic as it is the look: IKURA stands apart from all other model designs.
To fulfill all pre-orders we are offering IKURA in 2016 only in this white-red-grey design pattern and strong carbon construction for all round flying. Later we will be ready to accept also personal color designs and different construction demand.
Flight Comp Notes-
We are very impressed with the quality and looks of the Ikura! A truly stunning design, we love the detail! All the parts are very stiff and the craftsmanship is outstanding. There are dual ballast tubes in each wings. Elevator servo is mounted directly in the stab for a clean and direct setup. The fuselage is huge! There is a room in the fuse for your E-setup and batteries. As well there is plenty of room for any telemetry or GPS equipment you may want to install.
Details:
fuselage with installed cables for elevator servo.
fuselage in 2.4 construction ( glas-kevlar, boom in carbon )
ready installed linkage for rudder
new technology for integrated gap-sealing of flaps and ailerons
we recommend KST-servos with iDS-linkage

Nothing like a Cliffhanger. Look forward to the flt video. Nice 3D printing ideas Ali.

The suspense is killing me!

Nice 3d printed stuff!

I love the nose cone. But why on earth would anyone toss a plane without the prop turning?

Glide test

Let me know if you are ever going to fly that at Fermin. I'd love to see it slope!

Really looking for the part 4.
