Innovation 1.25m Glider & Electric

The Innovation is a very versatile 1.25m (49") model that can be built as pure glider or an electric model. With a great speed range and a surprisingly good glide, this model can be flown as a mini rudder/elevator hotliner, and a slope soarer, or as a thermal soarer.

BEAUTIFUL, SIMPLE, NO FRILLS!

The fully basa sheet covered wing with an innovative spar makes the Inovation a strong, slippery model. With a wingspan of 1.25m and an flying weight of just 250g (8.8 oz), spread on 15dm² (1.6 ft²) that results in a wing loading of just 17g/dm² (5.7 oz/ft²) this model is a fun flyer. The Innovation fuselage length is 83 cm (33") and the model has a one-piece wing with polyhedral and integrated wingtips.

The airfoil (MB971) is designed by Markus Becker (http://www.aerosportbecker.de) exclusively for this model. Innovation is blessed with forgiving slow-fly and stall characteristics, a wide speed range and low resistance. Both, the high aspect ratio and the similarity of the fuselage contours to the popular Inside/Introduction, were chosen intentionally, as we just can't get enough of this outstanding fuselage shape.

The kit includes parts for the construction of both versions – electric version and glider version

- Fully sheeted wing with high aspect-ratio
- Innovative spar
- Integrated leading edge
- Both electric and glider version in one kit

The kit:
Precisely lasercut wooden construction, really simple (Hoellein-3d-puzzle), easy to fly and paired with forgiving starting-, flying- and landing characteristics, a wide speed range due to the profile MB-971, excellent flying- and thermalling qualities. Purchase of single spare parts and assemblies? - No problem at all! „Made in Germany“ means the manufacturer is just some miles away from us.
The special design feature of the fully planked wing is the innovative spar, which, as well as the ribs, is fixed with pegs in cut-outs of the lower plank sheets and forms an interlocking construction that provides a superb stability of the wing. Stylish wingtips are the elegant finish of the wings. The fuselage, made of balsa, is reinforced with light plywood in the front. A precisely shaped milled part is already prepared to fix the motor ROXXY® BL 1820/16. The canopy is locked by a power magnet. The kit contains, besides of the lasercut parts, also all the small parts and linkages. All the kits of the Gruener-CNC-line include a multicolored construction plan scaled 1:1 and a fully illustrated German construction manual.
Glue, covering film, power- and RC-components are NOT included in the kit. As covering film we recommend ORACOVER or ORALIGHT iron-on film.

Recommended power drive:
The recommended power drive – consisting of the BL-outrunner ROXXY® BL 1820/16, a 3-cell LiPo battery with a capacity of 350mAh and the Graupner CAM FOLDING folding props 4.7x.2.4 – allows a lot of rocket- like climbs to thermal country. Due to the low weight and low resistance of the plane a 350mAh 3-cell LiPo battery together with the recommended drive (approx. 10-15s motor run time per climb) is quite sufficient for approx. 4 minutes run time. Even beginners (to whom the plane is interesting due to the flying characteristics and the low entry price) can cope with it during the climb.
