ALTO-60-S

WING SPAN 60"
SECTION RG 14 mod.
WEIGHT 25ozs
WING LOADING 9 oz sq ft
RADIO 2 channel

ALTO-60-S is a 60" wingspan V-tail aileron/elevator controlled slope soarer, with the extra benefit of a good thermal soaring performance.

Construction features foam core wings with 1/16" balsa skins and servo wells ready formed for aileron control mini servo mounting. A vacuum moulded fuselage pod of high impact polystyrene with all internal formers including serve, mount from the same material. The tail boom is 3/8" dia aluminium tube with all tail blade mounting holes drilled and snake exit formed. Tail blades are 3/16" balsa profiled to finished shape with mounting slots ready cut in correct positions. The kit contains all materials needed for construction including all hardware, clevis's etc. A tube of polystyrene cement is required for fuselage construction as is epoxy andlor white glues and covering/finishing materials.

ALTO-60-S is fast and aerobatic as may be expected of an aircraft with the RG14 wing section. However it is also well behaved at low speeds with a soft stall and no tendency to drop a wing in a slow, tight turn. As a general sports model it is capable of flying in winds ranging from 5 to 30 mph without the addition of ballast. Aerobatics such as roils and loops are performed with ease, as are combinations of these, Cuban eights for instance. In addition snap rolls, spins (really flat ones with the CG well back) stall turns, chandelles and sustained inverted flight are all possible.

This model requires a two channel radio, two mini servos for aileron operation plus one standard servo for elevator control. Alternatively, with a more sophisticated radio, four mini servos, two for aileron plus rudder and elevator controls via a mixer may be used. A full computer radio will allow crow braking to also become a possibility. The nose area infront of the servo bay will take a 500-600 mah standard square receiver battery and a standard size receiver.

ALTO 60-S PRICE - £54.00 + £4.50 p&p.
