3 Blizzard Moldie TD Sailplanes NIB

[Mark Miller]

The Blizzard is a hi-tech glider made of the newest materials, allowing to reach(achieve) economy of weight almost of 500 grams, in comparison with other models of gliders.

Fuselage is made of extralight fabric Kevlar, strengthened with a carbon fabric, has a removable nose cone. The wing is made of carbon fiber and fiberglass composite with heavy-duty carbon spar. The wing consists of 3 separate parts joined with heavy-duty carbon joiners of special geometry, that in a combination to the removable stabilizer, allows to transport model easily.


The stabilizer covered with "Ultracote Lite" film, that provides high strength and light weight. This model is the culmination of many years of technological development and experience in this kind of activity.

The modified SD7037 airfoil gives model extremely a broad band of speed and excellent soaring characteristics.

Wingspan: 334 cm
Length: 143 cm
Wing profile: SD7037 modified
Stab profile: NACA009
Kit Weight: 1260g

I have 3 available at special pricing. White over yellow, white over blue and white over red. $675.00 each shipped in cont. USA. My regular price is $850.00. This makes a great first molded plane at an attractive price.

Hmm...

Any hardware included? How is the rudder hinged? Bellcrank installed? Can you post a picture of the nose without the cone? Ballast tubes(?) Installed(?)

Thanks,

Mike.

Plane looks good there man! Is this a personal molding project??? How is the spar constructed???

Spar is carbon caps with vertical balsa shear webs wrapped in Kevlar thread. The Blizzard is made in Ukraine by the same folks who make my Sopranos.

Very good!
Looks like a temptation to have one for my own!
what servos are recomended?
What about shipping one to BRAZIL?
I would like to see something about it's flying envelope!
CHEERS! ;)

Mark, am I looking at the pictures correctly- are the tips curved down? Are there any perfomance advantages?

[Mark Miller]

The tips are indeed curved down. Kind of a reverse Hoerner tip seen on real planes like a Cessna 150 for instance. Jaro Mueller used these ion some of his designs. The theory is that at the wing tip there is a vortex caused by the low pressure on the underside of the wing trying to migrate to the upper surface. The reverse tip helps lessen the vortex. The real Hoerner tip which goes up basically tries to make the drag less by working with the vortex. There is quite a discussion of which is best. The quote I like is the only thing important about wing tip design is the distance between them.

Jebera,

I can indeed ship to Brazil. You pay exact shipping cost.
