The Avanti 3m electric glider kit is made in Australia by Performance Models.
It is another design from the Mayhew-Stent stable and is an easy to fly model that is aimed at being an entry level F5J and general sport model for intermediate flyers. It is an evolution of the popular OZeRES 2/Medina 2m model with similar ‘easy to build’ and ‘easy to fly’ characteristics.
It has been designed with higher camber airfoils than the normal Drella AG35 series and this has significantly improved the float, turn, stall and slow speed performance of the plane. With some clever tweaking of the airfoils, they maintains a flat bottom section for easy building, but also give good penetration in the wind. The tip airfoil is also specially designed to delay the stall and this has resulted in a glider that has amazingly benign stall characteristics.
All this has been aimed to reduce pilot workload for intermediate pilots and makes it an excellent ‘first aileron’ model.
Only the built up fuselage version is available now and is typically 1.2-1.3Kg (42-45oz) ready to fly, and with 53.7dm2 (5.78ft2) of wing area, it makes the wing loading is 22g/dm2 (7.3oz/ft2). The tail (elevator and stabilizer) area is 6.0dm2.
This is a very comprehensive laser cut kit and includes:
All laser cut balsa and ply parts.
All Carbon spars, L.E.’s and tail boom parts cut to size.
All hardware and carbon pushrods.
