TopModel Kulbutin
« on: June 30, 2012, 17:09:21 PM »




1off TopModel Kubultin. €120 complete or €50 for just the airframe.

Let me be honest with you all, this plane has had a couple of knocks. (Due in no small part to me operating the elevator servo in reverse. Gross embarrassment on my part!!! :oops:  :oops:  :oops: )

Hundred + twenty euro for the whole thing as it stands, or fifty for just the frame.
The fitted servos are:

Ailerons - two HS 65 MG’s
Rudder - S3001
Elevator - S3010

All these servos are virtually  new having had only five flights in this model.
If you’ve got servos of your own, have a Kulbutin for fifty quid!

Buyer collects
Keith

Here comes the sales pitch……………………….

Revolutionary 3D Sailplane! An exclusive new mechanism provides elevation control by rotating the complete stabilizer assembly over nearly 180°.
 Historically, TOPMODEL became known as a pioneer of 3D flight. Today this reputation is further enhanced with the launch of the world's first production model 3D sailplane.
Sailplane enthusiasts will finally be able to enjoy also the thrills of the third dimension! New figures are now possible such as the "Kulbuto" plunge or the "Parkinson" loop.
 In addition, due to its very light wing loading, the KULBUTIN can also fly in very light weather conditions, a rare characteristic for an aerobatic sailplane.
 Designed essentially for slope soaring where you can obtain long duration 3D flights, the KULBUTIN can also be taken aloft behind a tow plane.
 To conclude, the Kulbutin is a super fun model for the third millennium that you can take with you everywhere!
 The model is designed and manufactured in Czech Republic. Spare parts are in stock.
 If you are interested in a different color combination than we offer, please contact us.

You could add Keith, that it is based on teh Madslide designed and flown by Benoit Paysant Leroux. One of the early VTPR designs.

Lovely looking model. :D
