    You can also purchase set of two (1 и 2 ) ready-made templates out of fiberglass.(NOTE: to print the file in the correct scale, the scale settings for printing, select "None").


    To correctly set up flap an aileron deflections in relation to the TX sticks movement, we recommend the following arrangement:

    Кинематика УХА (Aileron setting)3

    Кинематика ЦП (Flap setting)


     

    Variants of arrangement the equipment in the fuselage Maxa EL.

     

    1) Option for the powerful motor, if there is no need to install ballast pipe. You can put a powerful battery. In this case, you must install the servos in the keel. This will set the big battery in the fuselage. This is the standard version. In this version, detachable stub for transportation and wiring. 

    During assembly offer to use the photo instructions, which kindly provided us with Alexander Boyko (e-mail: sasha@rcfm.org.ua).

    We suggest You also use a build log, who kindly Rok Korber (Slovenia). We express our gratitude to him.

    2) We recommend version Mach EL 4m F5j Long tail with ballast for the competition FAI F5J. You may use motor of up to 120g and lightweight battery 1200-1300mAH/45C.

    Kiel of this updated version is not removable. You can remove only the rudder.

    Maxa wing spar

    F3J Maxa spar

    1 – flanges hot cured from carbon pre-preg in an autoclave;

    2 – outer balsa webbing at 45 degree bias;

    3 – Spread Tow carbon of ±45 degree layup totaling  0,04 mm in thickness;

    4 – inner balsa webbing at 45 degree bias.

     


    Maxa’s wing spar is cured at high temperature under vacuum.  The spar flanges made in an autoclave  from high strength carbon pre-preg are securely glued to the multi-layer web. We use high strength  carbon fiber IMS 65 for the flanges.

    The spar durability is improved by the use of balsa shear web. Balsa is more durable than any other material in this role.  Placing balsa at ±45 degree bias not only improves it ability to carry shear load, but also improves the strength of the glue joint between the web and the flanges.

    Additional layers of Spread Tow carbon improve the stiffness of the wing spar.

    We build spars with two flange sizes:

    - 11,5 mm wide - lighter spar for Light versions;

    - 15 mm wide - haviest spar for Windy versions.

    The XXI century design from Vladimir’s Model employs Rohacell for flap core, which results in amazingly lightweight thin wings of surprisingly high strength. Combination of high aileron stiffness and low weight eliminates flatter even at the highest flight speeds.

    To build wing for Maxa, we use bi-axial carbon Spread Tow fabric of our own proprietary design and production, made of high strength IMS65 carbon fibers.  The weight of this fabric is 38…40 gram/m², which leads to lighter and stronger parts.





    Maxa Hard Spread

    Maxa 3.5m and Maxa 4m Windy central wing section

     

    1 – Outer layers of our carbon spread tow laid at -45°;+45°;0° degree bias. There are also additional lengthwise gain of Spread Tow Carbon (Carboline).  There ara two layers of Carboline laid at -45°;+45° degree bias on the flaps;
    2 – Herex core of the composite sandwich;
     3 – Inner layers of our carbon spread tow laid at -45°;+45°;0° degree bias;
     4 – Spar flanges from high strength IMS65 carbon fiber, 15 mm wide;
    5 – Rohacell flap core;
    6 – The front wall of the aileron is made of balsa plywood covered with glass fabric. This design reduces the weight of the control surface, while its height together with Spread Tow outer layers results in unsurpassed torsional stiffness;
     7 – Strip of the hinge material;
     8 – The rear wall of the wing from balsa plywood and fiberglass.

     

     

    Maxa Hard Spread

    Maxa 3.5m and Maxa 4m Light central wing section

     

    1 – Outer layers of our carbon spread tow laid at ±30 degree bias. Such layup results in high torsional stiffness and, at the same time, works in bending together with the spar.  Outer Spread Tow layers improve the wing durability;
    2 – Herex core of the composite sandwich;
     3 – Inner layers of  our carbon spread tow laid at ±30 degree bias;
    4 – Spar flanges from high strength IMS65 carbon fiber, 11.5 mm wide;
    5 – Rohacell flap core;
    6 – The front wall of the aileron is made of balsa plywood covered with glass fabric. This design reduces the weight of the control surface, while its height together with Spread Tow outer layers results in unsurpassed torsional stiffness;
     7 – Strip of the hinge material;
     8 – The rear wall of the wing from balsa plywood and fiberglass.

    Advantages of the ultra-stiff Maxa fuselage:

     

    - The fuselage is attached to the bottom of the wing with 4 screws to facilitate the assembly—you don’t need to turn the plane over, after you plug the wing servo connectors.

    - The wing structure is tied together with special shape nut, which is glued through the whole thickness of the wing.  Such design better spreads shock loads of hard landings.

    - The tilt junction the tail boom with nose, in addition to the elegant appearance, greatly reduces the stress concentration at this location;

          - Maxa is supplied with pre-assembled fuselage of two parts. Маха EL 4m F5j Long tail has glued Kiel and installed Push rods. Maxa EL 4 m and Maxa EL 3.5 m have removable Keels (this is an advantage in transportation).But Keels are already fitted to the boom and you just need to paste the boom by epoxy resin.

      Tail boom

       

      The Tail Boom is made from thin carbon Spread Tow laid at +45 degree (1) and -45 degree (2) bias.  Between the Spread Tow layers, there are 2 layers  of unidirectional high strength carbon fiber (3).  This design yields stronger, stiffer, and more thermal stable tail boom, which weighs only 41 gram without pushrods.

      By numerous requests, we made Maxa’s tail of classical X-shape design.

      We managed to overcome inherent drawbacks of this design and the resulting aerodynamic gains became apparent.

      The horizontal stabilizer is now located higher up, which increases the launch safety.

      The new design together with Vladimir’s Model trademark D-box built-up tail structure reduce the weight and increased the stiffness of the whole control system.

       

       

      Vertical stabilizer

       

      The tall and stiff vertical stabilizer gives Maxa good yaw stability and control even at low flight speeds. The horizontal stabilizer doesn’t shadow the rudder, which improves its efficiency.

      The light built-up rudder can be taken off to reduce the fuselage length for ease of transport, this requires removing only special rear pin. The screw with precisely ground stem slides into the bearing, which contributes to the accuracy and the stiffness of the yaw control, which is crucial for high energy launches.  The composite tube serves as the rudder spar, which results in its extremely high torsional stiffness.

       

       

      Horizontal stabilizer

       

      Stabilizer Maxa - is an embodiment of the latest model aircraft technology. It was first applied technology Rohacell postforming. Because of this we were able to achieve incredible detail inlaid geometric accuracy of the airfoile. The use of whole-core enabled us based on D-box construction using ultra-thin lining of Spread Tow Carbon (Carboline).

      The result is well balanced and light rotating horizontal stabilizer provides the required pitch stability. Its weight together with the joiner is 36 gram.

      We have beefed up the horizontal stabilizer’s pivot, which resulted in substantial stiffness increase of the whole control system. The elevator pushrod is under tension, then you push the elevator up, which results in more precise elevator control.

      Excellent control at low speed is achieved with the help of larger horizontal stabilizer area, which results in more accurate landings.

      Our advanced CAD/CAM design and manufacturing yield unmatched accuracy of all the parts.

      Maxa EL first glider designed by the concept of the new rules in 2011 FAI F5J.

      The main feature of such rules is the need to find thermals at low altitude and fly all 15 minutes in the final. Eliminated the need for high-power heavy motors. Therefore, the design we did not expect a quick empyrean rise, and rely on the performance characteristics of a glider:

      - Aerodynamic quality glider enhanced by a comprehensive elaboration of the model parameters Joe Wurts. Therefore, the Maxa give odds in the absence of thermals in the morning or evening;

      - Maxa is very sensitive to even small bubbles due to very low mass and low inertia especially consoles and fuselage;

      Despite the large-scale Maxa has very little wind resistance and is very lightweight, so easy enough for the power plant is almost vertical take-off;

      - Penetration, the ability of the glider to return from distant thermals without loosing much altitude, is improved by the exceptional aerodynamic properties of the new model;

      - Ability to position ballast in the nose make it very easy to Maxa able to win in the strongest wind.

      In the equipment, note the weight of the model and its rate of climb. This will allow you to choose the appropriate model of the tasks that you want to perform.

      Choosing a model for a quiet and slightly thermal weather stop at Maxa 4 EL. With gross weight 1800 grams, you will receive a unique glider with huge opportunities to win the competition at the highest level.

      For complex wind weather stop your choice on Maxa 3.5 EL. Due to its high maneuverability and a smaller scale with a high speed take-off, you get a glider able to find the flow in bad weather conditions, fly it away in the wind and go back to the site. Not of such a model, you dream before! Now it has become possible Maxa.


      Maxa EL 3.5m 

       Maxa 3.5 EL is the universal soaring leader for any weather.

      This glider takes advantage of even the weakest morning thermals, thanks to its light weight. High structural stiffness and novel aerodynamics allow Маха 3.5 to easily climb and return from distant thermals even in the windy weather.

      Efficient wing mechanization permits accurate control of the flight speed not only on landing, but also during the search for thermals.

      Increased area of the light horizontal stabilizer improves the control and guarantees “bull eye” landings.


      Maxa EL 4m

       Maxa 4 EL –  a version with the wing span increased to 3,925 meters.

      Maximum wingspan (according to 2011 FAI F5J) gives significant advantage in reducing the load on the wing.

      In the wind, you return very lightweight glider from far flow at low altitude, while competitors were left in the field. This is Маха EL 4m !

      Increased wing span also makes it easier to see the plane from a distance.

      MAXA Wing allows you to effectively control the speed on landing, as well as to reduce resistance at take-off and switching between flows.

      In addition, the increase in the concavity of wing is extremely effectively for the treatment of weak thermals.

      Location of servos in Kiel leaves more space in the fuselage for higher capacity batteries.


      Maxa EL 4m F5j Long tail

             Maxa EL 4m Long – the newest version with wingspan 3.925m. 

      Tail servos are installed in the nose of the model. This significantly reduces the inertia of the fuselage and positively affects the quality of the flight.

      The main advantage of long booms is to improve longitudinal stability of the model.

      Hypersensitivity to flows, improved handling model, especially on small landing speeds (this also make more accurate landing), will allow you to fully realize themselves, and enjoy the flight.

      We recommend you to use HYPER SPINNER POWER 32 mm for all versions of Maxa EL.

      You can select the version, which best fits your needs, using the following table.
