TM Ventus 2cx Deluxe Scale Sailplane (ARF)

*Ventus 2cx pictured with optional Sailplane FES Power System

This is one of the best 1/4 scale versions of the Classic Ventus we have ever seen! Almost Ready to Fly, in this case means you have almost no building left to do. Simply install your radio gear and enjoy. Even the decals are pre-applied. The Top Model Company is well known throughout Europe for their excellent craftsmanship and the Ventus 2CX is another example. Many of the "custom" details like the tow release in the nose, the retractable landing gear with working doors, tail wheel, the front hinged instrument panel, and the canopy with scale-like latch and sliding vent have already been pre-finished for you. The pictorial instructions clearly show where to mount your radio gear. With the optional inner flaps and spoilers, you can install up to 4 servos in each dihedral wing. The wing and fuselage both have pre-installed wiring harnesses that also include multi-pin connectors for fast, trouble-free setup at the field. The elevator servo cleanly fits inside the vertical fin in its own fiberglass tray. The hollow molded rudder and stabilizer are already pre-hinged with linkages installed. Designed with the intermediate pilot in mind, the Ventus 2cx is a joy to fly. It thermals well and is fun on the slopes as well. It lands in remarkably small areas due to the generous flaps and spoilers.

With its fiberglass fuselage and its carbon fiber reinforced, obecchi sheeted foam wings the Ventus 2cx can handle full day of soaring as well as limited aerobatic routine. The careful use of composites with competition balsa, creates a good light structure that will hold its shape for a long time.
