SWIFT S-1 2.6 CARBON
Carbon Glider
Our highly successful 3.3 m Swift now has a smaller, even more manageable sibling.
Like the larger Swift, the smaller version has also been completely newly developed and redesigned in CAD by an aerodynamic engineer.
Span
2.60m
Length
1.40m
Size
1/4.9 Scale
Weight
4kg
Construction
Fibreglass / carbonfibre

Highlights
Accordingly, the wing geometry and airfoil have been aerodynamically recalculated specifically for this size and represent the optimum for this model. The fuselage is built in full carbon. Only the canopy area is glass fiber to stay 2,4 gHz freindly. The wing joiner is a rectangular carbon fiber connector. The wings are manufactured using elaborate full-carbon composite sandwich construction, and a fine 50 g/m² fiberglass cloth is used as the first outer layer to achieve a perfect surface finish. All parts are painted in multiple colors in the corresponding design directly in the mold.
The model is delivered with a high degree of pre-fabrication. All control surfaces are fully hinged and designed as elastic flaps with gap-sealing lips on the wing. The wing and tail attachment fittings are fully finished, and the control horns are already glued in place. The canopy is ready mounted on the painted frame, fully finished and fitted with a canopy lock.
As an accessory, we offer a powerful FES drive. Optionally, the Swift can also be powered by turbines of around 20–30 N.
All required small parts, such as a servo tray (for elevator and rudder servos), high-quality clevises, and pushrods, are already included in the kit.
As usual, we offer a range of optional accessories that are perfectly matched to and tested with the model.
