Graupner,WP THERMIK-SPORT,4296

WP THERMIK-SPORT Graupner 4296 The THERMIK-SPORT was designed especially
for the new SPEED GEAR 700 2.7:1 geared motor. With 8 NC cells the model produces a smooth climb, making it a very attractive choice for the relatively inexperienced RC pilot. The more
proficient model pilot will appreciate the models rapid rate of climb with 10 or 12 NC cells.
The unusual wing design features relatively short tip panels and large ailerons on theinboard
panels, combining the advantages of an inherently stable model with the effective directional control
of ailerons. The relative beginner will find that this arrangement makes for a straightforward transition to aileron-controlled models. Naturally the ailerons can also double as airbrakes, enabling the pilot to achieve accurate spot landings after extended thermal flights.
The model is supplied in a practical transit case which can be used to carry the finished machine to the flying field. The wings are two-part and the tailplane is removable.
To finish off the model no painting is required at all, as it is supplied ready-covered. All you need to do is apply the transfer.
