GPMA0400     Tracer .40 Size Sport Plane Kit

TECH NOTES

This is the Tracer .46 Sport (Pattern) Plane from Great Planes.
This Kit is an Excellent Choice For The Entry Level Pattern Flier/Modeler.

FEATURES: Legal for all levels of Pattern competition.
Die-cut plywood and balsa parts for quick and easy assembly.
The wing is a one-piece single taper wing that is small enough for
easy transportation. This wing uses an Eppler 168 airfoil.
Dual aileron servos (one in each wing half) simplify set-up, and add
precision to aileron response for crisp aerobatics.
Independently adjustable elevator halves utilize dual pushrods for
maximum control surface authority.
Comes With Premium-Quality Hardware Package.
Wood construction and Illustrated Instructions.
Fixed landing gear is included with provisions for retractable
mechanical main gear included, so there is no need for pneumatic
retracts.
This is a pattern plane, not a sport plane.
The Tracer does slow down like a sport plane with a normal approach.
Flies stable at all speeds, and slows and lands even better than
Ultra Sports of years past.
It is capable of performing sportsman through advanced pattern
maneuvers with the precision and accuracy required to please the
unmerciful pattern judges.
