Description
Falcon 2 is a 2023 update of the well-known Falcon F3K DLG by the Flyinger (former HighQuality) Team.
The new version, for the most, uses the same wing, ballast enclosure, and tailplane… Everything else is completely new 😉
– The fuselage features a shorter nose and tail boom which improves handling.
– The nose pod became slightly narrower for better aerodynamics but still offers enough space to fit all your electronics, servos, and ballast.
– The tail boom now is updated and features the tailplane mount that forms a single piece with a boom. It being made in the mold in one-peice with the boom, unlike the glued-on piece on the original version of the glider.
– The vertical fin is now fully removable with a custom-designed locking construction that prevents the fin from spinning on the boom. However, it’s recommended to secure the fin on the boom with some sticky tape regardless.
– The new version also comes in new wing designs, with all the options available for the original Falcon, such as painted fuse and tailplanes, left-handed throw, etc.
Falcon 2 DLG Options
Falcon 2 features a Rohacel core wing and three major wing layups – light, regular, and strong, just like its predecessor.
The kit version includes a complete accessories pack including the launch peg, control horns, torque springs for tails, pull wire and servo trays (for KST X08/A08)
The wing and the tailplane are no different from the 1st version, so you can swap them if needed.
