ORION A3 Glider Kit 930mm

A builder's kit of the high-performance all-balsa A3 category free-flight glider with a tissue-covered built-up wing and tail. An ideal introduction to the classic building and dope&tissue covering for everybody who has not forgotten that some of the most important aeroplanes in history were made of wood. You know - Wright Flyer, Bleriot XI, De Havilland Mosquito... A3 is a Czech national entry-level free flight glider category; you can think of it as a scaled-down F1H/A1 glider class - the models are smaller and very easy to build so you can start conquering the sky right away. Your Orion makes a good hand launch glider; the adjustable side tow hook will allow hi-starts using a 25m (82ft) tow line the A3 category calls for.

Precise CNC-cut parts, a full-size plan and a detailed instruction manual make the assembly very easy; even the wing featuring an under-cambered wing section goes together nicely thanks to jigs included in the kit. Only very basic modelling tools (a modelling knife, scissors, modelling pins, fine flat brush), glue (UHU-Hart, medium CA etc.) and adhesive & shrinking dope are required.

Designed and manufactured in the Czech Republic.

The kit contents: CNC-cut balsa parts of fuselage, wing and tail, hardwood sticks, sandpaper, ballast, rubber band, adjustable side tow hook, white covering tissue, stickers, full-size building plan and instruction manual.

Bulk package (10, 20...30 pcs) at a reduced price for model clubs and organizations available on request.
