TopModel Marabu 2.750mm
Marabu is as good as it looks. Soft, smooth, and very long flights is standard for this model. Careful use of composite materials with konkurrensbalsa creates a strong and lightweight structure that will hold its shape for a long time. The synergy of light weight and strong structure is very unusual in a production glider and can only be achieved with careful attention to the design and construction. The whole model is constructed using free flight technology.
Balsa and carbon
The wings and stabilizers are all balsa built with carbon fiber reinforcements. The fuselage is gel-coated fiberglass with white finish. The whole model is covered with Oracover. All control surfaces are hinged using tape. This fully developed glider just need basic assembly and installation of the engine and radio. The two-piece wing and horizontal stabilizer are easily removed for transport and storage. Each piece is carefully hand crafted with great care and thought to detail.
