Video! The SPUTNIK, a F3A in EPP

Hi guys,



I'm happy to present to you the SPUTNIK




The SPUTNIK is a mini plane of 1,10m (43" ) wingspan entirely designed in EPP for F3A aerobatics.
The geometry of the SPUTNIK and the airfoil of the wing, inter alia, were studied to approach to the maximum of the glide path and the piloting feelings of a 2 meters F3A plane - and this, even in a pretty strong wind!



Have fun,
Nicolas

Hi Ward,

Maybe to ask Skip MILLER : http://www.skipmillermodels.com/mercury.php
Skip imported Topmodel products but he stopped last year.
Since then we didn't have a serious importer... It's disappointing because Topmodel is a major in Europe now and they have many exclusive product.

The Viking: post New from Topmodel : The Viking, 50% EPP, 50% gediplac


The Saturn: post The Saturn is back

Cool Re: The SPUTNIK, a F3A in EPP

Hi guys,

You are still undecided to buy your Sputnik. You can try now the Sputnik on AeroflyPro Deluxe

Go to the tag “simulator” on the middle of the page:
http://www.topmodel.fr/product_detail.php?id=17132

It's fun no
