Airtech Passion

The Passion is an agile model for slope soaring and F3F slope racing. It is also extremely sensitivity to thermals, straightforward handling in high-speed F3J and American TD launches makes this a versatile plane.

The fuselage is reinforced with a carbon strips. The Passion offers detachable wings joined at the fuselage by a 10 mm carbon rod.

The wing panels are supplied readymade, with leading edges fitted and sanded. The control surfaces are supplied already attached to the wings using the proven "elastic flap" hinge system, ensuring excellent airfoil fidelity. For accurate spot-landings the ailerons and camber-changing flaps can be set to the "butterfly" or "crow" setting familiar to contest pilots.

The V Tail is using the famous D-Box technology.

Both tails receive a 5mm carbon rod that makes the model easy to transport. The weight of the V Tail is 45g.
