Description
Hyper AVA Pro-e Ultimate F5J
The Vladimir's Models Hyper AVA Pro-e is an improved and further stretched version of the world renowned electric Super AVA-e thermal soarer. Probably no rudder-elevator-spoiler (RES) eSoarer has a better reputation and a more illustrious contest record than the AVA series, so improving this already superb model is no mean feat. However Vladimir has incorporated these very significant upgrades in the Hyper AVA Pro-e:
- The electric fuselage pod has been totally redesigned to use a beautifully executed canopy hatch rather than a nosecone, allowing the battery to be inserted and connected easily, improving usability on the field. Also the very slim slim pod has a carefully engineered wing pylon to reduce interference drag.
- The Hyper AVA Pro-e wing mid section and tips have been stretched, bringing the span to 4m, decreasing induced drag, lowering the already low sink rate, and increasing visibility.
- The single central spoiler has been replaced by two smaller spoilers, these don't interfere with the flow over the tailplane, reducing the pitch change and making accurate landings child's play.
- The Hyper AVA Pro-e's tailplane has an improved planform and carbon D-box construction, increasing strength and reducing trim drag.
- The new fin has also been changed to use a molded fixed portion, with a lower drag tailboom attachment that incorporates a very clever quick release mechanism, to make the Hyper AVA Pro-e more transportable.
- The tailboom has been lengthened and stiffened. The longer tail moment improves stability and turning performance.
- The long pod allows large propellers to be fitted, and the rigid structure allows kilowatt class powertrains to be installed giving ultra fast climbs. The low wing loading ensures a very low min sink, and the ability to climb away in the weakest of thermals.

On the construction side, Vladimir has taken the build to a new level of completeness, so the Hyper AVA Pro-e can be assembled in only a few hours. New work done by Vladimir to speed Hyper AVA Pro-e final assembly:
- The wing spoiler horns have been fitted, and the spoiler servo wires threaded into place.
- All pushrods and horns have been fabricated, wires bent, etc.
- Fitting the servos in the fin has been simplified.
The only work required to compete the model is to glue the boom to the pod, attach the V mount and fin quick release clip, and install the powertrain & RC gear.
The Hyper AVA Pro-e is a stable thermal duration eSoaring model suitable for discerning modellers wanting the ultimate electric soaring experience. The simple rudder, elevator, spoiler controls make it supremely easy to fly, allowing you to concentrate on reading the air and the other gliders. Its light weight, prodigious strength, and state of the art design result in unparallelled performance.
History
The Hyper AVA Pro-e is an evolutionary improvement of the Super AVA-e, which was itself a stretched and electrified version of Dr Mark Drela's revolutionary Bubble Dancer. The AVA-e series was an implementation of Drela’s design using the free flight type construction techniques invented in Eastern Europe, and perfected by Vladimir. The Hyper AVA Pro-e is a stretched and improved version of this model. Like the Simply the Best and Organic ranges the Hyper AVA Pro-e wing has carbon capped ribs and a kevlar D box. Allied to a substantial kevlar wrapped carbon spar this results in a very rigid and almost unbreakable structure.
The aerodynamics are outstanding, utilising specially designed airfoils (no doubt in Xfoil, written by Mark Drela himself when he was a student), and a low drag V mounted tail plane, the AVA has a measured sink rate of 0.3m/s (60 ft per minute). The Hyper AVA Pro-e can be built down to 60 oz, however despite the low wing loading the plane can cope with 15mph winds with ease.
Many have asked about the underslung fin. There is no need to worry, in all the years we have been selling the AVA and the AVA Pro ranges not a single person has reported a broken fin or boom.
*In order to balance the model without using a heavy motor we highly recommend that the suggested servos are used for the elevator and rudder controls.
