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 the history were made of wood. You know - Wright Flyer, Bleriot XI, deHavilland 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 25 m (82ft) tow line the A3 category calls for.

Precise CNC-cut parts, full size plan and detailed instruction manual make the assembly very easy; even the wing featuring an undercambered 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, sand paper, 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 reduced price for model clubs and organizations available on request.
