Glider Kavan CUMUL mini 1130mm KIT

Product detailed description

Airplane model made of balsa wood.

A simple all-balsa glider with a span of 1130 mm made of laser-cut parts - ideal for getting to know the basics of building model airplanes. The design provides for the possibility of installing a miniature receiver and servos with rudder and elevator control, or with motorization by a small AC electric motor in the front or on a pylon above the wing.

All-balsa glider with excellent flight characteristics and very simple construction. It is ideal for getting to know the classic construction of model airplanes. Thanks to the precise laser-cut part, you will not spend a lot of time grinding and cutting, but you will quickly reach the goal with only acetone glue (Kanag, L-510, UHU-hart, etc.) and pins.

The fuselage consists of a nacelle, in which there is enough space not only for the load for a free-flying glider, but also for miniature RC equipment and a carbon tube tail beam. The wing made of pre-ground balsa parts is attached to the fuselage with rubber eyes, so the CUMUL mini is stowable even with a wingspan of over one meter.

The design of the model also allows for the installation of miniature RC equipment - the CUMUL mini can then fly as a pure RC glider with a controlled rudder and elevator or you can motorize it with a small AC electric motor located in the front of the fuselage or on a pylon above the wing.

The kit includes: Laser-cut parts of the fuselage, wings and tail surfaces, carbon tail beam, small accessories, construction plan / construction instructions.

The CUMUL mini model was designed and manufactured in the Czech Republic.

What you should know before buying a model.

Building blocks are not toys.
Their construction and operation requires concentration and discipline.
The kits are divided into several categories, according to the skills of modelers.

Budding modeller,
is a modeler who has not yet mastered the basic modeling procedures and techniques. He has no idea what, for example, the center of gravity of the model is, he does not know how to read technical drawings, he cannot decide without help which glue or varnish to use in a specific situation.
Kits are available for beginning modelers, which contain more detailed instructions for building the model. The models mostly have a solid wing cover and may not even need to be painted. By building such models, you will gradually gain the necessary practice for further constructions and flying with them. They don't fly the best, but they forgive many mistakes made during the construction and alignment (setting) of the model.
School models are also useful for novice modelers to gain modeling practice. These are already more complex models, which are already specially aimed at gaining a certain experience and practice. For example, coating the wing of a model. The instructions then do not cover all the basic modeling procedures and techniques. They focus only on new used techniques or technologies that are used in the kit.

Advanced modeller,
is a modeler who already has practical experience in building models and flying them.
It has already adopted modeling techniques and technologies. When building the model, it is based on the technical drawing. The model manual focuses only on a brief description of the assembly of the model.
These models are not primarily intended for beginning modelers. A beginner modeler can assemble this model, for example, under the supervision of a leader of a modeling club or a more experienced friend.

Experienced modeller,
is a modeler who is able to adapt the construction of a model from a kit according to his needs. For example, he equips a free model with an electric motor and RC equipment. The instructions serve only as an information aid for assembling the model.
