Description

The EppiSoar was designed in response to numerous requests for a light wind slope soarer / crash resistant flat field thermal soarer that could be either hand towed into the air or launched with the aid of a bungee. It is the EPP equivalent of the renowned Summer Breeze and flies almost as well despite being made from EPP.It doesn't look bad either!

The Eppisoar flies well in very light lift, can thermal turn on its wingtips, copes well with strong winds (when other 'lightweights' have been 'hangered'), has docile handling characteristics yet will loop, barrel 'roll' and stall turn. It can even be made to spin! An ideal introduction to both flat field thermal soaring and light wind slope soaring. Building time is about a quarter that of a similar conventional model.

Fuselage construction consists of a tough ply box covered in EPP, reinforced with cross-weave tape and a Correx Empanage (tailplane). The all EPP two piece wing has full depth plywood / hardwood mainspars with plastic strip trailing edge reinforcement. Radio equipment consists of two standard size servos, a 'square' receiver (Rx) battery and a 2/4 channel Rx.
