Ruby

This light weight and strong glider has a carbon/Kevlar/glass fuselage with removable cross tail. The 2 piece wings are hollow moulded Herex sandwich, they have carbon gap seals on the ailerons & flaps and carbon servo covers. The wing joiner is a carbon rectangular section that is fixed to the root of one wing. The accessory pack includes a tow hook and a ballast tube. The rudder and elevator controls are already fitted.

The Ruby is a great model for catching any passing thermals as it is so light. But add some ballast and it is capable of penetrating the much stronger winds.

An electric fuselage is available for this model.

Recommended servos are HS85mg for the wings and HS81‘s for the tail.

This glider is very similar to the highly publicised but unavailable Luna Glider.
