SPRITE-HOT |
| Description: |
The Vladimir's Models Sprite Hot is a 2m very efficient fully molded glider for thermal and slope use. The advanced design by Dr Mark Drela gives excellent performance as a slope soarer or as a competitive 2m thermal soarer. By combining low weight and large ballast compartment the Sprite Hot is equally at home on the slope or the flat field. Its well-balanced controls, excellent speed range, and outstanding thermal soaring capability make it particularly attractive to expert flyers who are looking for 3m performance in a conveniently compact 2m package.
The Hot version has 2 degrees of dihedral, making it especially suitable for slope flying and thermaling in windier, more turbulent conditions. The AG40/41/42/43 section hollow molded wings have carbon spars and large ailerons and flaps, extending the speed range at the low and high speed ends of the polar.
The attractive kevlar fuselage and removable carbon canopy hatch are highly streamlined producing an extremely low drag and sleek pod. The molded-in wing pylon reduces interference drag and the long high modulus carbon tail boom and conventional cruciform tail ensure excellent handling. The molded tail assembly holds the superbly engineered all flying tail mount. The model is easily transported with its two-piece wings and removable tail.
In addition to the exceptional design the other outstanding characteristic of the Sprite is the very, very, very complete build done at the factory, with the following items already fitted to perfection: canopy, large ballast tube, tow hook, tailboom, tailplane mount, and rudder and elevator Bowden cables. The only work required is gluing the fin and fitting the RC.
