Recommended Sailplanes - F5J
The Shadow F5J is the electric version of the Shadow F3J model. The F3J Shadow was campaigned by many pilots at the 2008 F3J world championships, and the electric version will be just as competitive in F5J events. The Shadow E has a wingspan of 3654mm, a fuselage length 1618mm; and a wing area of 73dm2. Airfoil used is the HN507M1 a Norbert Hayes wingsection and a tail section HN33S and is available fro Airstrike with a X-tail only. The Shadow E is available in Carbon and other version. Overall a suburb model from the Nan Company.
F5J Supra E
The electric version of the Supra, the Supra E is a highly competitive F5J model. The Wingspan of the Supra E is 3400mm,it has a wing area of 68,87 dm2 and an empty weight of 1400g, this is the models weight without RC equipment or propulsion system. The wingsection is the AG40 transitioning into the AG43. The model is ballast ready, a ballast tube for windy weather is already installed. The model uses aileron, elevator, flap and rudder controls and utilises a strong carbon/kevlar fuselage. A highly competitve model ideal for F5J competiton. The Supra E is available from Airstrike Australia.
F5J Graphite 2
The Graphite 2 from FVK models is an F5J model distributed by the Airstrike company. The Graphite 2 has wingspan of 3100mm, a wing area of 64,5 dm2 anda length of 1515mm. The model is available in light weight and full carbon versions. This model has the MH 32 wingsection that has been used on many successful F3J models and elevator section is HT14 transitioning into the ht12 section. The model uses flaps aileron and V-tail for control, and the full span surfaces allow for different full span flap settings. This model is well priced and competitive in F5J events. I recommend the lightweight version of the Graphite 2 as the model is not being launched by winch. FVK models are well made expect good quality moldings from this model.
