Altis F5J 2.5m
Description
The Altis is a new lightweight 2.5m model from Ukaine. The Altis is a new lightweight 2.5m F5J glider from Ukraine, combining impressive thermal performance with a compact, lightweight airframe.Despite its relatively modest wingspan, the Altis offers performance approaching that of many 4m F5J models, while remaining easy to handle and transport. This makes it an excellent choice for pilots entering F5J competition, while experienced pilots will appreciate its ability to compete seriously against much larger models.Its compact dimensions also allow an exceptionally low flying weight, with the Light version capable of being completed at approximately 575–650g.The Altis combines an aerodynamically efficient, low-drag fuselage with a high aspect ratio wing using AG-series aerofoils, premium composite materials and the extensive manufacturing experience of K.A. Composite Models.Key Features
The Altis is manufactured exclusively from high-quality composite materials. Its lightweight structure uses a Rohacell foam core with biaxial carbon fibre fabric, providing an excellent combination of strength, stiffness and low weight.The fuselage and tail components use carbon fibre shells throughout, helping to keep the structure light while maintaining the rigidity required for accurate control and competitive flying.Versions
The Altis is available Light, Regular and Strong layups. This allows the model to be selected according to the required balance of minimum flying weight, everyday durability and suitability for stronger conditions.Kit Contents
The Altis kit includes the hardware required to complete the model, including:
- Lightweight, strong one-piece fuselage
- Suitable for motors up to 28 mm diameter
- Integrated fuselage ballast compartment
- High aspect ratio polyhedral wing for excellent weak-thermal performance
- Efficient high-speed performance for returning from downwind or penetrating into stronger wind
- Two-piece wing, secured to the fuselage with four M3 bolts
- Lightweight pull-string tail control system with torsion springs, minimising weight at the rear of the model
- Fully removable tail surfaces
- Completely disassemblable airframe for easy transport and storage
- Packs into a transport box approximately 1.30 m long
- Rohacell foam-core construction with biaxial carbon fibre reinforcement
- Carbon fibre fuselage and tail shells for excellent stiffness with minimum weight
