PINO slope is a robust slope soarer fully built in carbon. Due to its robust construction, difficult start and landing areas are no limitation. One or the other shrub landing is gone without flinching. The great deflections of the control surfaces make him extremely agile, the very effective flaps allow approaches to smallest landing sites. High fun factor, low damage balance!

More technical info in the building instruction (pdf-file) and building instruction - electric-version (pdf-file)

PINO slope is manufactured in a special building method without sandwich. The outer skin is made of robust 160g carbon. Because of that, the surface of the wing is extremely durable and the model is perfectly suited for extreme conditions.

For PINO slope, we have even upgraded our proven design. Due to the carbon spars, which are produced in a special mould, the wing construction becomes even more exact and the wing gets even stiffer.

In case of a hard landing fuselage and wing are separated automatically thanks to nylon screws and spring contacts, so that serious damages remain the exception.

The fuselage is produced in a special high-pressure process, in which excess resin is pressed out of the manufactured part. Result is a high fiber volume content. For practical purposes this means low weight and high breaking strength.

The model is also available as electric version.

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, 39g 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 IMS-Spread-Tow carbon.
The fuselage cone is manufactured in black glass to ensure good receipt of 2,4GHz.
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.

The wing is placed on the fuselage from the top and fixed with screws.
The electrical connection is made with spring-loaded contacts, which also favor a damage-free shearing off the wing.
If you use plastic screws, you can minimize the damage in case of a crash. The wing will get off the fuselage easily, as the screws act as predetermined breaking point.
The model is also available as electric version.
WING:  

The wing is produced in a special building method with a stiff shell without sandwich. Multiple transport and landings in rough terrain don't create permanent dents on the wing as this is the case with sandwich-constructions. All that remains are possibly some scratches.
Upper sides are painted, undersides left in visible carbon.

The classic spar is replaced by 6 single carbon webs.
Cutouts, such as for installing the servos, are prefabricated.
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

Easy system for ballast by varying the connectors

Enclosed in the kit:
1x carbon connector
1x steel connector short
additionally 2 short steel bars for both wing halves

Available on demand:
1x Steel connector long
additionally 2 long steel bars for both wing halves




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 75g 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 75g biaxis non crimp carbon. Upper side is painted, underside left in visible carbon.
The elevator can easily be removed.
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 KST DS135MG for aileron and flap.
Matching servo frames for the wing servos are included, if you order servos.
