Beginner Flight Model Habicht Wood Kit

Two models from one box. The two-axis glider for soaring and electric flight

Our HABICHT, completely newly designed in CAD and manufactured using CNC laser technology, is the ideal entry-level model for aircraft modeling. Even experienced model builders will enjoy it. The construction of the model is deliberately kept very simple and is therefore easy for inexperienced model builders to handle. All components are cut with high precision using a laser. The building instructions with numerous pictures guide you well through the construction.

The model is controlled via elevator and rudder, and in the electric version also with motor control. The airfoil was developed from the profiles of modern high-performance models and gives the HABICHT high gliding performance with low sink rate. The model also penetrates well against stronger winds. The dihedral of the wing has been reduced to give the model excellent maneuverability - while still maintaining high inherent stability.

The fuselage is constructed from a few plywood and balsa wood parts. It is therefore very robust and forgives many a hard landing. The canopy is removed via a magnetic lock, providing comfortable access to the flight battery (electric version) and the internal components. The wing is secured with rubber bands. It is a light rib construction that is planked on the surface in the nose area. The tail units are built from laser-cut individual parts.

To complete the model, in addition to glue and a little tools (knife, pins, sandpaper, flat pliers and scissors), only the covering film for covering is required.

For the RC equipment of the glider, a receiver battery of approx. 1,000 mAh and switch, the receiver with 2-4 channels and two servos with 15.5 mm width are required. For the motorization of the electric version, light motors with 26 or 28 mm diameter, a suitable BEC controller and a 3s LiPo of approx. 1,300 mAh are intended - a very inexpensive drive combination.

Thanks to the divided wing, the model can also be easily transported in a backpack, on a bicycle and in small cars. The glider can be launched on a slope or with a bungee cord on flat ground. The electric version is also in no way inferior to the glider in terms of gliding properties.
