9 Eagles SKY CLIMBER 2mtr powered glider
The Sky Climber is a good sized electric glider that is equally suitable for beginners or experienced pilots alike. at Two meter span, she has quite a presence in the air and can be easily seen from a fair distance. The powerful brushless motor and ESC are pre-installed as are the 4 servos. All you have to do is intsall your receiver and battery and you are ready to go flying.
Made from tough EPO foam, the Sky Climber can be docile as a trainer and aerobatic when required. having both ailerons and rudder, the roll and turn response is immediate yet predictable. The wing section provides the right combination of high lift and good penetration into the wind. Under the right weather conditions, soaring is no trouble at all and long flights are easily possible. There is a lot of wing area and a low wing loading, so lift only has to be minimal for success. Even without lift, flights of 20 minutes plus are possible.
The model is of excellent quality. The wings are retained using a carbon spar. Two plastic clips fit into slots in the underside of each wing to hold the spar and wings in place, this makes removing the wings a breeze.
The wing servos fit nicely into plastic clips and are then retained by screws with large washers.
The horizontal stabilizer is held on with one screw. The model features a magnetic hatch on the underside of the fuselage. This hatch could be used to access the RX and wiring, a nice touch!
The manual is poor however, a beginner will have this glider together in no time. The clevis connectors are cheap and it might be an idea to replace them.
The motor was a little fiddly to mount due to lack of space in the front fuselage. The prop adapter has two grub screws to hold the adapter in place.
