Sapphire ARF 2.9m thermal and all-round glider

Robbe Sapphire ARF 2,9m Styro/GfK/Abachi wing".

The SAPPHIRE is a new thermal and all-round glider. The V-tail increases its manoeuvrability when thermalling.
The flight characteristics can be described as very good-natured. The SAPPHIRE can be flown as a slow thermal glider or as an all-rounder.
The ready-covered wings are constructed from styro-core, glass fibre layers, abachi planking and a carbon fibre reinforced spar. The ratio of weight and strength is optimal.

The Sapphire ARF 2.9m Styro/GfK/Abachi from Robbe belongs to the category of electric gliders with a wingspan of 2900mm and a weight of 2480g. The model is controlled by the functions H,S,Q,M,WK.
The model is designed as ARF - ALMOST READY TO FLY . We recommend a 4S/2300mAh LiXX battery for this electric flight model.

The SAPPHIRE is suitable for advanced model pilots.
