2020 Rosenthal USA Sailplane Line-up


Rosenthal Models Introduces 2020 Rosenthal Brand Products

San Jose, CA, April 3, 2020 — Rosenthal Models USA announces new and expanded offerings of Rosenthal Brand Products.

Rosenthal Models USA was founded in 2015 as the USA distributor for Rosenthal Flugmodelle Germany, one of the oldest and best-known manufacturers of Scale Sailplane and Glider kits.

The German company fell on hard times and the assets were sold off in 2017 and 2018. Rosenthal Models USA acquired several of the designs and tooling and has restarted production, updating some models, and introducing new ones, to continue the tradition of high-quality models at a reasonable cost.

Our current Rosenthal USA sailplane line-up is:

  • 3.5-meter ASK-18
  • 1:3-scale 5-meter ASW-15
  • 1:2-scale 9-meter ASW-28
  • 9-meter ASG-29

For power planes, we have the 4-meter (157-inch) Rallye Morane, a fully-molded scale model ideal for aerotowing with a 150cc engine. A unique feature of this model is a two-piece fuselage to ease transportation.

We have 3 new scale models in the final stages of development with molded fuselages and built- up CNC wooden wings:

  • 4.2-meter Grob G-109
  • 5.67-meter RF-5 motor gliders
  • 1:2-scale 9-meter AS-33 sailplane with Styro/Obechi/Carbon wings with GPS airfoil by Philip Kolb

The very popular 1:3-scale ASK-13 has been updated with wing root fairings and a CNC wooden wing by a German partner, and we will be offering it again.
