PILOT 12161 Cresson F3-Res

Japan's first F3-RES glider "Cresson". The F3-RES competition, in which a wooden glider with a wing length of 2 m or less is towed with a shock cord and competes for flight time with only the rudder, elevator, and spoiler, is attracting attention around the world. The Cresson, which has accumulated many years of laser cut kit manufacturing experience and know-how of glider design, is not only lightweight, but also a thin wing with a high aspect ratio of 6.9 to 7.9%, a narrow angle 98-degree V tail, a fuselage that is narrow to the limit. The aerodynamic resistance has been greatly reduced by adopting such a design, and it has been designed with emphasis on running that allows you to search for thermal even from low altitudes.

The fuselage can be manufactured as a pure glider, but it can also be assembled as an electric version. Both can be enjoyed with one machine if assembled in a convertible specification. You can save time by adjusting the aircraft with electric specifications.
