Description

The Alien is an exciting flying wing design from Anton Ovcharenko of OA Composites, with aerodynamic design by Christophe Bourdon. The Alien stems from Anton and Christophe's wish to create model that is:

FUN to fly, with a great speed range, fun aerobatic manoeuvrability, and yet able to thermal soar too.
Can be flown from the slope, or discus launched from the flat.
Quick to build and assemble at the slope.
Easy to transport.
Tough enough to cope with rough slopes and high winds.
Can be ballasted for even more high speed fun.
Can be used as a DS trainer to learn to dynamic soar.

The Alien is very pre-fabricated and should only take a few hours to complete. The accessories include all control linkages and some very nice 3D printed servo mounts for the elevon servos. Also included is a 3D printed ballast tube to take a ballast slug approx 19 mm diameter by up to approx 50 mm length.

Alien sloper

this is my first carbon build and its very simple. the instructions are clear and the 3D printed parts fit perfectly. It's a well thought out machine and I drilled a bore in a copper cylinder to fit in the ballast tube for 30g and 50g slugs. As a left handed flyer, the fin hinge is on the left hand side so that's something to be aware of if you're wanting it for a left hand launch dlg. as usual impeccable service from Neil.

Looks Stunning

As a kit designer and manufacturer I was really excited to see the Alien appear on Hyperflight, and it was a must have toy. Its not often I take the plunge on a model I didn't design myself and really happy I did. Whilst the build hasnt started yet due to other commitments the quality of the components and the fit and finish is exceptional and more that meets my own expectations. I fully intend to do a mini review of the model when I start construction and will share my findings with Neil.
