The Ventus 2cx is a high performance open class (18 m) glider. We at ICARE
are very proud to offer here a (1:2.5) large scale reproduction of
this very high performance
glider. As you can see on the little video it behaves like a pussy, very docile
flying and generous in performance. It is a great ship to fly, smooth
and gentle, yet aggressive at high speed, a joy to fly.
With a span of 7.5m this 1:2.5 scale Ventus
2cx is a very fine scale ship. The model has been made in version
full fibreglass, and the wings has been made with a sandwich method and
there has been used Herex.
The cockpit comes with a
instrument mushrooms and seat, add some scale details such as instruments
and sticks and levers. All that remains for the builder to do is add a scale pilot for
complete realism.
This glider comes
almost completely built, and ready for radio installation. Only a few hours are
required, before you go to the field. The moulded wings are made from
fibreglass and carbon
components, a carbon and glassfibre strengtheners runs through the centre
of the wings. 1200m of carbon tow are required to build the main spar. Wings are coming with two sets of
moulded wingtips. Airbrakes are
installed and ready to be connected by the mean of a mini servo. Ailerons and
flaps are hinged ready to hook up. The high
gloss, gel coated Fiberglas fuselage has the wing joiner carrying tubes, elevator installed. The cockpit comes with all main components like the instrument mushrooms,
seats, head rests done. Canopy can be fitted with scale hinges like the full size.
Retractable landing gear comes with brakes and is installed and ready to work. A small package hardware and short building instructions are completing the kit. If you would like to venture into
