Opus V DS

The Opus V DS is a high performance version of the popular Opus slope glider. Our DS V's construction is custom speced by Espen Torp to withstand the punishment of DSing. However, it is a terrific frontside plane as well. The RG-14 airfoil makes it a rocket and the well thought out design and planform makes it an easy plane to fly. The Opus V DS is an all hollow molded plane and is painted in the mold. The finish rivals the best in the business. Radio installation is all that is required to get the Opus V DS in the air.

We are working with the manufacturer to bring the DS spec Opus V to the United States. If you are interested in one of these super planes, email greg@sailplaneshop.com

The layup of the glass Opus ET/V DS version looks like this:

Glass - 40gr/dm
Glass - 110gr/dm
Glass - 110gr/dm D-Box
Balsa 1mm
Glass - 80gr/dm

40 gr/dm is outer layer. The DS V uses a beefy carbon spar as well.

Due to the volitility of the Dollar/Euro exchange rate Prices fluctuate. I always give the best deal I can on this super plane.
