E-zoners get a look before our web site is updated...
UPDATE June 4: The Hook pages are now up at http://shredair.com/hook.html --Dieter
"The Hook" is a warmliner for 8 and 10 cell applications. This plane flies beautifully on just 8 cells, climbs briskly at a 60-degree angle, thermals well, picks up speed easily when asked, and rolls and loops well with good energy retention.
The plane provides intermediate pilots a head start on their way to hotliners and F5B planes. That's why we call it The Hook: we provide a foundation from which it will be easier to move on to the next level.
The Hook does not "pierce" or "bite" you; it does not torque-roll or snap-roll. It has very docile stall behavior; I have circled it with full up-elevator. I have flown five consecutive loops by just diving it moderately and applying full up-elevator.
This 2-meter glider is controlled by ailerons and elevator. It's a high-quality, solid-performing, well-mannered hotliner-type plane for a reasonable price: $595 includes the plane, a Lehner Brushless motor and controller with Reisenauer gearbox, RFM Carbon propeller, and a Light Spinner.
The Hook has a white fiberglass fuselage with canopy; 2-piece foam-core wings with carbon-capped spar, sheeted with fiberglass and obeche; SD7037 airfoil. The wings and stab come covered white on top and red or blue on the bottom.
The plane is available separately for $225, but we're also offering it "pre-baited:"
A Lehner Basic-3100 motor with Reisenauer Micro-Edition 5:1 planetary gearbox, BK/Lehner Warrior 4018/3 controller, Norbert Meyer Light-Spinner, and RFM 15.5x10 prop for 8 cells or 14x10 for 10 cells. This complete package costs $595.
The Hook will be available July 1st. We will have the web page up by then, including a detailed on-line assembly manual. We also hope to have available matching accessory packages such as batteries and servos.
For more info and ordering, please e-mail directly: dieter@shredair.com
We have carefully selected these quality products and combined them into a performance trainer. This plane provides intermediate pilots with a solid platform to further their skills in aerobatics, speed, and thermaling. Experienced pilots will enjoy its crisp yet relaxed demeanor and easy go-anywhere size.
