Wing

Two piece wing - colored , painted in the mould. In the wing of the Sprite used the original VM construction with solid flap filling. 

Ailerons and flaps are very light and rigid, thanks to the original CF tubing spar design. This design moves the center of rigidity and C.G. of the control surface forward, which eliminates flatter even at the highest flight speed.

The picture on the left shows the structure of the wing:

1. Herex core of the composite sandwich ;

2. Inner layers of thin glass composite of ±45 degree layup;

3. Rear wall from balsa plywood covered with glass fabric ;

4. Strip of the hinge material ;

5. Styrofoam core of the flap (aileron) wall;

6. Carbon braid;

7. Herex core of the composite sandwich ;

8. Flap core - Rohacell ;

9. Outer layers material.

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 carbon spar are made on the technology prepreg in the autoclave. The I-cross section wing joiner are also prepared from hight-strength carbon.

Ailerons and flaps have shields closing the slots and are completely ready to installation of servos. The nuts of the brackets of flaps and ailerons are reliably glued in. The fairings of the control rods of flaps and ailerons are moulded together with the wing.

Fuselage

Sprite comes with pre-assembled fuselage. The pod is glued with the tail boom. Ballast tube is glued in the tail boom and in the pod connecting them. The tow hook is already glued in. The push rods of the rudder and the elevator are glued in the fuselage. The original carbon TAILPLANE MOUNT is glued on the tail boom. The control bracket of the rotatable stabilizer is fastened to the push rod.

The front part of the nose is radio transparent made out of kevlar and high modulus fiberglass. You can place an antenna of 2,4 GHz receiver inside the  nose (to the end of the canopy).

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.

Tow hook

The Adjustable Tow Hook allows for launch optimization for any weather or C.G. location in the recommended range. 

Ballast

BALLAST TUBE is glued in the tail boom and in the pod connecting them. It has the internal diameter of 18mm in the tail section and of 22mm in the nose for the arrangement of maximal heavy ballast (up to 750 gr).

Canopy

Canopy is made of carbon composite. . It uses reliable mounting latch design proven in many Vladimir’s Model planes: Supra PRO, SupraElectric, Blaster 2 Electric, Graphite 2 Electric.

For the competition, which allowed the use of additional types of braking devices "skeg" thought the ability to install the special parts Removable "skeg" (see "Landing sceg intallation.pdf").

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.   

Vertical stabilizer

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

Sprite's vertical stabilizer has incredible rigidity through the use of structural foam core of Rohacell. 

The rudder is very easy to remove. It is inserted into the slit of the  special rudder block on fuselage and fixed with duct tape. Thanks to this it is possible to remove the rudder during transportation. You can also buy additional electric fuselage and use the wing and ruder with the both fuselages.

Horizontal stabilizer 

Well balanced and light rotating horizontal stabilizer provides the required pitch stability.

We have beefed up the horizontal stabilizer’s pivot, which resulted in substantial stiffness increase of the whole control system.
