The Sprite HOT is a highly efficient
2-metre model that is equally at home on the slope or thermal
soaring on a flat field. The combination of low weight with the
highly efficient AG40/41/42/43 wing section and the ability to
carry ballast ensures the model has a wide speed range and an
excellent soaring ability in a wide range of weather conditions.
The 2 degrees of dihedral combined with the wide chord flaps
and ailerons produces an agile model that is outstanding at flat
field thermal soaring in more turbulent conditions or for pure
soaring on the slope. The flaps allow camber changing of the
wing section for all phases of flight and crow braking for those
precision landings.
The Kevlar fuselage is 2.4 GHz friendly
and is fitted with a carbon canopy complete with an integrated
catch. The wing is mounted on a streamlined pylon to reduce drag.
The removable tailplane and two-piece wings make the Sprite easy
to transport.
The model is highly pre-fabricated and
is delivered with the carbon tail boom, ballast tube and tailplane
mount ready fitted to the fuselage. The bowden linkages and the
tailplane bell-crank linkage are factory installed. The only
work required to finish the model apart from the radio installation
is to glue the fin into the tailplane mount and fit the rudder
horn.
The Sprite HOT is available with an
Electric fuselage. The low overall weight and superb aerodynamic
efficiency produce an electric model with outstanding thermal
soaring capabilities which allows the boundaries of soaring flight
to be explored where it would be difficult to launch from a winch
or tow line.
Ballast Sets are available as spare
parts.
A Carbon wing version is available for those pilots who wish
to push the boundaries further. |
