The
SAPPHIRE is the new
thermal and all-round glider at Robbe Modellsport. The V-tail increases its maneuverability when thermal circling. The PNP version has servos already installed, electrical connector and original multilocks as wing locks.
The flight characteristics can be described as very good-natured. The SAPPHIRE can be flown as a slow thermal glider or as an all-rounder.
The ready-covered wings are constructed of styro core, fiberglass plies, abachi planking and a carbon fiber reinforced spar. The ratio of weight and strength has been optimally achieved.
The SAPPHIRE is suitable for advanced model pilots.
