With a weight of half a kilo less than the medium, Pino lite can also use the weakest thermals. Flying fun begins early in the morning, extends into the evening or even takes place in winter! In order to make flying fun long lasting, we have given Pino lite a robust outer skin made of the lightest carbon fibers. The paint is reduced to a minimum for reasons of weight.

CONCEPT:  

Aerodynamics:
We have developed a modern and fast airfoil for Pino. The thickness is only between 6,16% and 7,58%. The aerodynamic design includes 5 different airfoils. So there is the optimum airfoil for every spot on the wing. The creation of the airfoils was done with X-Foil, the wing aerodynamics with XFLR5. Flaps and the low weight provide good slow flight characteristics.

We chose an all moving tail for the elevator for a quick and easy installation and for performing abrupt aerobatic maneuvers. In addition, Pino has extra strong airbrakes, which are especially helpful on the slope.

A high degree of prefabrication ensures low building effort and time.


In addition, it was important for us to use the most modern materials and technologies, such as IMS Spread-Tow from Russia, 26g biaxis non crimp carbon (Carboline), black-colored glass, full core technology, spring-loaded contacts for electrical connection and many more.

Pino best described in a few keywords:
- great dynamics thanks to modern aerodynamics
- very agile for optimum aerobatic fun
- easy to control in the border area therefore
- optimal thermalling characteristics and
- dead easy handling
- universal application
- due to the moderate size ideal for transport in your car or backpack

FUSELAGE:  
The fuselage is a carbon construction using 39g biaxis non crimp carbon.
The fuselage cone is manufactured in black glass to ensure good receipt of 2,4GHz.
(Shown here on the example of Pino medium.)
The servos for controlling the stabs are situated in the fuselage. The servos are mounted in pre-cut holes (KST X08-V3) inside the fuselage cone.
(Shown here on the example of Pino medium.)

The wing is placed on the fuselage from the top and fixed with screws.
The electrical connection is made with spring-loaded contacts.

(Shown here on the example of Pino medium.)

The model is also available as electric version.
WING:

The shell of the wing is produced as a sandwich construction. The outer skin is made of 26g biaxis non crimp carbon. The surface of the wing is left in visible carbon.

Precise and simple mounting of the levers by prefabricated recess: Just put in lever, superglue, done.
Gap covers of the control surfaces on wing and tail are made of a special masking tape as it is common with passenger-carrying high performance gliders. The advantage: less disruption of the flow and lower weight than the conventional resin-based gap sealing lips.
The servo boxes were designed for all standard servos, specifically: KST DS135MG for PINO medium (see picture) and Dymond D60 for PINO lite

Easy system for ballast by varying the connectors

Glider version:
1x carbon tube

1x steel short
1x steel long (on demand)

Electric version:
1x carbon tube

1x steel short
1x steel long (on demand)

All control surfaces are mounted with kevlar.
Carbon covers for servos are enclosed in the kit.
STABILIZER:
The rudder is built in full-core-construction with Rohacell as core and 26g biaxis non crimp carbon as outer skin. Linkage and levers for controlling the elevator are already integrated inside the rudder.
The elevator is also made with a core of rohacell, but coated with 26g biaxis non crimp carbon. The surface of the elevator are left in visible carbon.
The elevator can easily be removed.
(Shown here on the example of Pino medium.)
ACCESSORIES:
Kitparts are enclosed in kit.
Protection bags made of welded bubble wrap coated with aluminium foil (not included in kit)
Protection bags made of stitched foam material coated with aluminium foil
with fabric edging and practical velcro fasteners

(not included in kit)

Servos are available at extra cost. We recommend KST X08-V3 for the stabs and Dymond D60 for aileron and flap.  
Matching servo frames for the wing servos are included, if you order servos.
