ALA VOLANTE "XENO" (1.245 mm)
The flying wing for ultimate slope and electric flying fun
At many slopes and flat-field flying sites you will find dozens of flying wings. These models are usually cut from various grades of foam and stiffened with parcel tape. The Xeno is a superior version: more elegant, of higher technical quality, and offering loads of convenience as well as excellent flying fun.
When designing the Xeno we made good creative use of the possibilities of 3-D CAD / CAM techniques and modern foam moulding technology. The result is an interesting shape with an unmistakable appearance.
For ease of transport the Xeno can simply be folded together in a few seconds, and in this state it can be carried safely and conveniently in a rucksack or similar.
Rigging the model for launch also takes just a few seconds, and converting it to electric power and back is almost equally rapid.
With its simple construction and high level of pre-fabrication it only takes two or three hours to assemble the Xeno (i.e. one evening - it really doesn’t count as construction!)
The plus points:
• Requires just a simple radio control system with delta mixer
• Numerous high-quality injection-moulded plastic parts provide interesting detail solutions
• Strong and rigid without the need for “taping” - thanks to ELAPOR® construction
• Removable / replaceable fins
• The finished model can be folded together, making it very easy to transport
• Good-natured flying characteristics, simple to fly (great for beginners), stall-proof
• Broad speed range - a genuine fun-flyer!
• Optional electric power set: fitted in seconds.
• Optional transport bag with strap attachment (# 76 3317)
