Etalon: the new standard!

The Etalon is a unique model, combining the latest generation of high-tech development with a superb appearance of unsurpassed quality. The result is a lightweight glider offering excellent flight performance. The fuselage consists of a GRP pod with slip-on nose cone and a precision-made tapered carbon fibre tube tail boom. The slip-on nose cone ensures perfect access to the RC system. The wing core consists of precisely moulded foam, skinned with a very light but torsionally stiff veneer. As an alternative to covering the wings the wood veneer simply can be sealed with a coating of wood wax to prevent it absorbing moisture. This surface actually improves the airflow. The model features a very broad speed range and can be flown successfully at the slope or from a bungee launch, and can even be hand-launched. The unique grain pat-tern in the veneer skins makes the wing an object of great beauty which will not degrade with time. For ease of transport the wing tip panels are removable. The balsa V-tail panels are supplied finish-sanded, and the control surfaces are pre-hinged; the unit is retained on the tail boom by two plastic holders. The high level of pre-fabrication and processing quality cut construction time to the mini-mum. The model features a very broad speed range and can be flown successfully at the slope or from a bungee launch,and can even be hand-launched.
