Aeromodel AndREaS, kit planor RES (#Andreas)

The model:

AndREaS is made entirely of wood (spar/leading edge/D-Box) and has a profile of 8,5% thickness (MB-674RES), which has been developed especially for this class. With it's wingspan of 1990mm it respects the regulations. The model has a flying weight of 490g-500g (non-tuned standard version), that means a wing loading of approx. 13.8g/dm²! Resulting from the profile, our AndREaS has excellent penetration characteristics -even with higher wind speeds- despite the lower wing loading.

• Lasered wooden kit, constructed in a lightweight but solid interlocking framework
• Removable elevator
• Huge rudder for agility
• Two-part wing with multiple dihedral and stylish wingtips
• Spring steel wing connector (tuning option with dual CRP-junction possible)
• Ballast compartment as standard, therefore it's easily adaptable to changing weather conditions
• D-Box (sheeted leading edge section with shear webbing, ribs are inserted in an innovative "comb-like" spar, in which you insert the ribs)
• Magnetic wing retainers
• Excellent break efficiency of the spoiler
• Multicolored construction plan and a detailed and fully illustrated German construction manual
• Made in Germany!

The kit:

The wing is constructed with a balsa leading edge, pine spars, sheeted balsa trailing edge and various pieces of plywood made from poplar and birch plywood. The lasercut ribs are form-fitting connected with the trailing edge by the use of support feet. Stylish wingtips ensure an elegant appearance. The wings are connected with a 5mm steel wire, but it can optionally be replaced by  a double carbon fibre wing joiner. A second steel can be used for ballasting. The fuselage made of balsa is reinforced with plywood and has an additional ballast compartment. The kit contains, besides of the lasercut and numbered parts, all the small parts and linkages needed. A launching hook is enclosed as well. You get a suitable launching set at EMC-VEGA (https://www.emc-vega.de). All the kits of the Gruener-CNC-line include a multicolored construction plan scaled 1:1 and a fully illustrated German construction manual. 

Glue, covering film and RC-components are NOT included in the kit. As covering film - especially for the fuselage and tail unit - we recommend ORALIGHT iron-on film.

Tuning options for the competition:  

• Double 5mm carbon fibre instead of 5mm steel wire wing joiner 
• Wing retainer with rubbers instead of magnets
• Usage of ORALIGHT for the whole model
• Usage of very thin and ultra-light wiring in the wings and
• Usage of fixed soldered servo connections instead of servo plug connections
