Pino medium ist our top all-rounder for unlimited fun. We recommend Pino medium to those pilots, who want to cover different flight and weather conditions without having to pack many models. It does not matter if you want to float in flat landscape, try out a few tricks on the slope or plan a trip to the mountains with your backpack. Pino medium feels comfortable in all conditions. This version combines excellent weight, high stiffness and durability for everyday flying.

The design idea was to create a fast, agile all-round model with good slow flight characteristics and short building time. According to feedback from our pilots, we seem to have reached our goal:

"The passage (meaning maintainance of speed and energy) is incredibly well despite this low flying weight. Where I made 1-2 loops in weak conditions in front of the slope with other models, Pino makes 5-6 tight loops with little air loss."

"This is indeed better than many top F3F/F3B! And I've really flown many models in this class!"

"After many models I've assumed that a further increase of performance is not possible. But Pino has convinced me otherwise."

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 shell of the wing is produced as a sandwich construction. The outer skin is made of 80g IMS Spread-Tow carbon fibre. Upper sides are painted, undersides 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

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 80g IMS Spread-Tow 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 39g 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.
