Hi Justin - glad to be of service!
I'm happy you like this model. It's Red and I think Ryan's favourite too.
Announcement:
Watch this space, no doubt Red told you - but for all who happen to read this, there is an A195 (5m) version coming soon.
A bit of history: 195" or 5M was the wingspan for which the Alpenbrise was designed.
Here, please let me hijack your post a little with new info:
I made the smaller 157"(4m) version to get the model out there and on the slopes and into the mountains in Europe, as shelling out for an unknown (at the time) 5M model might have caused some to be cautious. That seemed to have worked well, and all seem impressed with the model's performance, so now we will soon see the original design. Red, as the Aeroic official test pilot, will be testing the new plane as soon as we can get parts to him.
Introducing the Alpenbrise A195 (5M)
The wings will be 4-piece 6 servo type, easily transportable, and so the soaring possibilities for the larger plane are perhaps more than the smaller version, if you like GPS or high Alpine flying. Just for those who are wondering, the wings have a double sine wave spar and are joined by massive, UHM carbon wing joiners.
Oh and of course, this baby would be pretty impressive on the slopes, too!
Fun is the watchword!
Doc.
