Pulsar 4.0 PRO electric glider kit

The wing is in three pieces with two flaps in the centre panel mounted on a slight pylon - split flaps are operated by two servos. This gives the ability to employ crow-braking for effective landing control (flap down, ailerons up, compensating elevator) PLUS flaps operating slightly as ailerons and aiding roll control. A well-tuned model with this feature is a delight to land on a chosen spot and to thermal in light conditions.

Carbon/kevlar/balsa construction has been used throughout to give great strength with minimal weight. A D-box leading edge, carbon-capped ribs and carbon trailing edges are features of this model. Ailerons, flaps and rudder are pre-hinged with integral shrouds to cover the hinge gaps. This is magnificent construction!

If you are looking for a large size, superior glider, beautifully constructed, at a reasonable price, you need look no further!

This model has a cross-tail as illustrated and now employs an all-moving tail mounted on a carbon stand in front of the fin and rudder.

• Power recommendation 1: MVVS 5.6/690 outrunner in a case with 3S and a 15x10" prop at 35A - or use 4S with a 14x7 at 43A
  
  
• Power recommendation 2: MVVS 4.6/840 outrunner in a case with 3S and a 14x9" prop at 40A - I have now launched my new Pulsar 4.0 PRO with this motor combination and a 1300-3S LiPo - because it is much lighter than previous verisons at 1.6kg, this set-up has plenty of power and even climbs out at half power!
  
  
• Power recommendations 3: Hacker A20-6XL
  
  
• Power recommendation 4: Scorpion-Reisenauer geared - small heli motor grafted to a superlative Reisenauer gearbox for light weight and slim lines
