| StarFlight kits, hand-made by experts in the Ukraine, have become famous for quality and value. The Pulsar 4000 is a development of the popular Pulsar 3200, but has been completely redesigned - it is not just scaled up! They have optimised a lightweight, high-tech glider of maximum size for F5J and thermal hunting.
The wing is in three pieces with a flat centre panel mounted on a slight pylon to enable split flaps to be operated by two servos. This gives the ability to employ crow-braking for effective landing control (flap down, ailerons up, compensating elevator). A well-tuned model with this feature is a delight to land on a chosen spot. 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. Specifications are:

Recommended Settings: Ailerons - 15mm up, 6mm down Elevator - 10mm up, 6mm down Rudder - maximum movement, mixed 80-100% with ailerons Flaps - maximum down Very important: CofG at 100mm from the Leading Edge - further back is dangerous The recommendations on the F5J are not correct - actual tests show that the movement specified is too small and the model tucks under when using a rearward CofG. With the above settings it is a delight! |
