ST Model Blaze Glider ARTF 2.4G A-STM100A Never before has so much thought been lavished on an foam glider. The basic shell is crisply moulded in the established ST method of tough, EPO foam, but that is only part of the story. Hidden underneath that sleek exterior is a clever design that adds immense strength combined with design features that make assembly easy & accurate. The nose section is re-enforced with carbon strips along the inside & the motor nose area, which in turn is moulded in tough polythene & bonded over its entire circumference to the internal foam. Even the back edge has been designed not to create a stress edge & spread the load in an impact. The canopy is injection moulded in tinted plastic with strengthening ribs & an integral catch to add further structural rigidity. There is a built in towing release that is securely mounted to the plastic nose section for aerotowing from flat fields, making the Blaze far more than just a slope soarer. A servo to operate the release is also provided & installed. Moving back into the wing mounting area, there is a combination of wooden formers & injection moulded plastic parts that are integrated & bonded into the foam. The rear former acts as an orientation mount for the square carbon tube inside the rear fuselage. That provides immense strength to the fuselage. The wing mounting bolt fixings are inserted steel inserts not just tapped into the plastic. At the rear, another clever, internal plastic mount orientates the tail assembly by using the fuselage tube & outer shell to provide a unique method of mounting both V-tails & their servos. The wing is a work of art! Three internal carbon spars (one a super-strong, square tube) are all bonded in internally & provide unbelievable strength to what is just a foam wing. Once again, the wing joining method is designed not to have a stress fulcrum & be both simple & effective. Just four screws will have it assembled in five minutes! Individual aileron servos provide the power to perform full aerobatics & the ailerons themselves are re-inforced with carbon strips to stop flexing. The anti spill airflow straighteners at the aileron ends keep the aileron response effective at all speeds. This version of the Blaze glider comes with ST Models own 2.4g Hz radio system (Mode II). This radio is easy to use, has a great feel to it, thanks to the soft external case & frees you from the worries of frequency control. Although a 4 channel system for the Blaze, the receiver is a 6 channel unit that could be used in other models at a later date. All the transmitter requires is a set of eight Nimh cells & a charger or eight dry cells. All the receiver needs are four AA Nimh or dry cells & you are ready to go flying.
