Forget the John Lewis Advert...................

As the 'Festive Season' is fast approaching I thought I might see what super deals are on offer that would suit the hardy RC pilot looking for a Christmas suggestion when the family ask what you would like for Christmas.......

Something to fly on light wind slope days or DLG down at the field:

Super Mini Topsky DLG - B Grade
The latest batch of Super Mini Topsky DLGs have small cosmetic moulding imperfections and are being sold as B grade. They are 100% normal strength and will still fly superbly.

The Super Mini Topsky is a fun to fly mini discus launched glider with ailerons, making it suitable for light wind slope soaring as well as flat field thermal soaring. It is very tough and flies excellently, making it a great first aileron glider.

This lovely little model is supplied as a very complete kit, requiring a few evenings to put together. The kit includes a complete accessory pack, including all linkages and a plug and socket for connecting the aileron servos. See the good installation manual (link below) for more info. The manual recommends a bit too much dihedral, we suggest 4º to 6º, so for DLG flying pack up each wing 3.5 cm to 5 cm (or one wing 7 cm - 10 cm) when joining them. If you are building the models mainly for slope soaring you can reduce the dihedral to nothing if you want. The model will be more aerobatic, but will require more skill to thermal correctly.

1000mm / 32'' span (rudder, ailerons, elevator)

For a bargain price of just £89.95 plus P & P
