COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado USA — Just in time for NARAM, Apogee Components now has the new Edmonds Aerospace glider in stock. The new glider called "Edmonds RGX" is a "rocket glider" design built around the 10.5mm micro motors from Apogee Components.
Glider Specifications:
Mass: 23.1 grams (without motor)
Length: 18.25 inch (46.4 cm)
Wing Span: 13 inch (33.0 cm)
Recommended motors: Apogee A2-3, Apogee B2-3
Glider Description: At this time, I do not have a photo of the glider, but I'll try to get one posted to the Apogee Components web site as quickly as possible. The design is a bit more competition oriented than the other Edmonds Aerospace design called the "Ecee." Unlike the canard style Ecee, the new RGX is a conventional configuration, with the wing in front of the tail. It features a floating wing, which is free to pivot along the leading edge during boost, and is then forced to a fixed position at a positive AOA for glide by a sliding piston arrangement. The kit features laser cut balsa wood, and can be assembled in about an hour using wood glue.
Price: Special Pre-NARAM price: $14.95 Orders can be placed using the Apogee Components Online ordering system of the Apogee web site.
