Folding Prop SLS
This unit is designed around a
brushless outrunner, comes with a molded base frame and a metal folding arm. Weight with motor is around
800g. Unit will power airplanes
up to 10kg and will handle 5S to 6S LiPo packs. The unit operates in
similar way to the belt driven system, so most control functionality are
the same. Unit comes preassembled and wired, with a special high torque
servo and a 4 or 5 blade folding prop. Unit has also a closed position
locking device.

AFT type SLS
These units are the most ingenious units on
the market currently, they combine the best world of each units
described to date. The motor is configured as direct drive on
top of pylon, and to reduce the cut-out on the fuselage, the
system is single blade prop (which is also the most efficient
prop configuration). Now the arm is attached to a complex
geometry rail system that swings the arm in and out, through a
tiny hole (the video explains this easily). All is controlled by
a sequencing unit for flawless operation. Two prop sizes with
different power setups are available. These units can be
installed in most of our 1/3 and 1/2 scale gliders.

SLS
sequencing unit
This smart electronic
device is like your third hand in SLS operation. It will allow
full operation of any of our SLS units by means of a single
toggle switch on your transmitter.
What
can the unit do:
·
Control of up to 5 servos:
- Arm actuating servo
- Right door servo
- Left Door servo
- Motor (esc)
- Tow release servo
·
Fully automatic unfolding and folding of SLS arm with a three
position toggle switch on transmitter, inclusive control of motor
esc (motor on, motor off)
·
Slow scale operation of SLS arm.
·
Gear safe power up and brake of motor.
·
Control of optic prop sensor, before closing SLS, SLS will only
fold back when prop is fully and safely stopped at right
position.
·
Additional evaluation of two limit switches, to avoid a false
startup of motor in any case (for ex. If a servo fails).
·
User programmable servo travel and direction, which are
automatically and permanently stored in EPROM.
·
At first motor startup, esc will throttle up to pre-determined
level and after 6 seconds will go full throttle. This to avoid
nose tipping of model at startup ground rolling and so have a
smooth progressive start.
·
Possibility to let the doors open or closed during the climb or
power on

Turbine
SLS: AFJet

Gliding powered by a turbine, the
ultimate flying experience.
For all pilots that like it it h and that want
to show off, we offer here the right self launch system.
The AFT mechanism is suited for any turbine
from 60 to 160N. The AFT mechanism is suited for the larger
scale ships like:
DG303 M 1:2,3; Discus M1:3- 1:2; DG1000 M1:3-1:2; Swift
M1:2,5-1:2; Fox M 1:3-1:2 etc.
What you get:
Turbine self launch retractable mechanism, assembled with limit
switches and cables. Control sequencing electronic to extend and
retract the turbine. Carbon fibre installation frame (mating
your model). Cover hinges. V2A clamp to hold Turbine. Fuel
shutoff valve.

FanAir SLS
The solution for all glider of >4kg (9lbs)

Alternate solution to the retractable self
launch system.
FanAir 200 for gliders from 9 to 17 lbs, and FanAir 300 for
gliders from 17 lbs to 30 lbs.
Here the advantages:
- Simple installatuion, on any glider
- two sizes availbale, one for 1/4 to 1/3
with all up weight from 9 to 17 lbs and also 17 to 30 lbs.
