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.
