SkyTouch GPS
SkyTouch GPS: Competition special for GPS Sport Class
- Genetically SkyTouch: but optimized for competitions.
- Based on the proven SkyTouch 2 platform: This means it has inherited the excellent aerodynamic properties of the fuselage, a typically robust Solid-Core wing construction (the centers are without "V" flap slots), and overall high-quality workmanship.
- Emphasis on performance: Everything is subordinated to achieving maximum flight performance, which is reflected in the aerodynamics, construction, and technology used.
- Changes for specific purposes: The V-tail and the increased span to the limit of 5 meters are not random modifications, but targeted optimization for competition use in order to use every centimeter of the limit to achieve the best possible flight performance.
- Drag reduction: A V-tail generally has lower aerodynamic drag than a classic X-tail because it has a smaller wetted area and eliminates mutual interference between the horizontal and vertical tail surfaces. In competitions where every "gram" of drag counts, this is a great advantage.
- High aspect ratio: Wings with such a span and low chord are extremely slender. This leads to significantly better glide performance and less induced drag, which is crucial for flying in thermals and maintaining altitude on the competition circuit.
- Efficiency in thermals: Long and slender wings are ideal for circling in weak thermals, as they can take advantage of even the slightest updrafts.
- Flight characteristics: The model is stable, precise in control and able to effectively use thermals to minimize altitude loss and complete as many circuits as possible in a clean glide.
- Piloting: Flying with a V-tail is a bit different and requires more precise settings and mixes on the transmitter, but for an experienced competition pilot, this is not a problem.
SkyTouch GPS, as we describe it, is not just an "RC glider for flying with GPS," but a precisely designed and built competition special.
It is designed for experienced pilots who actively participate in GPS Triangle competitions and are looking for a model that will help them achieve top results. It is an example of the best that SolarWings.cz provides in the field of RC gliders.
