Micro Nova New slope flight videos /minimal conditions
« on: July 06, 2022, 07:51:00 AM »
Hello,

Have just finished a new production run of my new design named the “Micro Nova” which is a high performance R/C micro sailplane, it has many innovative features and of all composite molded construction, it represents more than a year of development and flight testing of prototypes has proved to be very exciting with performance to surpass all my design goals.

Its excellent handling and accurate control response feels like a much larger model with most prominent feature its very wide speed range so can deliver exciting performance both as a micro Dlg or a speedy mini slope ship widening up the scope of many useful local flying sites.

Here are two interesting YouTube videos of my model, performing in a row of very low height sand dunes and in a very minimal embankment on low wind/lift conditions.

don’t have to say more… just let you enjoy the videos.

Price of 198$ USD (plus 6% International PayPal fees)

Shipping cost for International destination 36$ USD (ELTA Hellenic Post, tracking number provided)

Each micro Nova will be shipped in a custom made container consisting of an 18mm wall thickness foam core box externally reinforced with glued on 5mm thick double flute cardboard, a removable top lid of the same construction makes opening the box and removing the model easy… all model parts will be individually bubble wrapped and “soft” immobilized inside the box to keep them from moving during transport.

This box/packaging concept results a very strong/rigid but lightweight container ensuring safe arrival to your international destination… I have used this method for a number of years to ship other valuable models with total success so rest assured your Nova will arrive in perfect condition.

Hello,

This is the fifth flight video of my personal-prototype Micro Nova… two previous videos (No3 and No4) showed the model performing in low height sand dunes/ minimal wind-lift conditions and being able to fly efficiently at low speeds.
This time I have chosen to fly in a big slope with good lift to exploit the higher speed range of the Nova…When flown in strong conditions this unique micro size R/C sailplane can completely change its character and be transformed to an exciting speedster really carving out big chunks of the sky with minimal energy loss.
And all this at a low AUW weight of 115 grams… which once again proves the old axiom: drag reduction is the number one design parameter and especially important in micro size sailplanes operating at a low Re range.

BIG SLOPE/BIG FUN!
