The Duo Discus
X manufactured by Schempp-Hirth, is te latest version of
this gorgeous two seater high performance open class (18 m)
glider. We at ICARE are very proud to offer here a (1:2.5) giant
super-scale reproduction of this very high performance glider.
The Duo Discus X had following changes:
- Airbrake, flaps mix system
- New landing gear
- Winglets
 This
kit is like a full size, retrieves most technology of the
original, fully molded, with hollow molded wings. We can start
with the cockpit which has been detailed to its extreme, with
little bits. By looking closely, you can imagine how many moulds
had to be produces in matter to be able to create all the
required parts. Everything is there and very accurately
reproduced, like the stick is moveable and has a leather base.
All instruments covered with a glass. Adjustable seat belt,
cushioned seats, tubular metal reinforced head rest. Just
incredible all the work that has been put into this ship, giant
work for a giant aircraft. To produce the airframe over 30
moulds are needed. Canopy opens like full size to the size and a
hatch accessible through the vent window locks it in place. A
canopy sun cover is also in the kit. A special 150mm wheel
landing gear has been manufactured for this aircraft as well.
The wings use the interlocking, floating wing
joiner system. Wing tips attach to the wing by means of clever
push pin device, that allows a quick release. One and half foot
airbrakes, specially manufactured for this airplane are all
metal. All servo bays are pre-moulded for easy servo
installation.
What about flying? No doubt, just awesome.
This is the greatest ship we have ever tried. Once it floats
around the sky, you don't get the feel that this could be a
scale ship, flies just the real one. Imagine flying a 5 miles
cross country triangle course on GPS, sitting in your chair at
your flying field, that buddy will you do it.
