If you fancy something that is truely unique & stylish then the ST Models DG1000 could be the model for you. Based on the classic DG1000 glider, this gorgeous model is accurately moulded in impact resistant EPO foam, even those sexy wing tips! The wings are removable for easy transport by just releasing one screw & are re-inforced with carbon tube to ensure rigidity & strength. The aileron servos are pre-installed, as are the servo extension leads & each aileron hinge is formed by the EPO foam for best efficiency. The fuselage is also moulded in EPO foam with carbon fibre re-inforcement & the elevator & rudder pushrods pre-installed & connected to their respective servos. Just bolt on the tail & the assembly is done! Now we come to the clever bit! Not only do you get a powerful, 1500kv, outrunner brushless motor, propeller & ESC as standard, you get a unique motor retraction system to fold it away into the fuselage. That system is servo driven & cleverly controlled by a special mixer unit (supplied). Closing the throttle stops the propeller & motor before fully retracting & closing the doors. This all operates from the throttle stick alone. Just nudge the throttle open again & the motor swings up before operating. If you use the optional switched channel, you can opt top keep the motor out & just control the throttle as normal. When the motor is away, the model becomes highly efficient & will stay aloft in minimal lift conditions. The supplied 2.4g Hz AFHSS 5-channel radio assures you of glitch free performance. Just fit a 3S 1300mah Li-Po battery of your choice & you're ready to go. The power is sufficient for a pretty rapid ascent & you will get many climbs from one charge. From opening the box to going flying will take less than one hour! Specification Wingspan: 2010mm (79.1in) Length: 970mm (38.2mm) Servos: 4 x Micro, 1 x Std.
