The RESilience W Competition is designed as a competition and sport RES F3L thermal glider. The model is set apart from other RES models by its good long-distance performance which allow it to fly quickly through sink. This and its very good thermal performance ensure the model is not only fun to sport fly, but ready to win competitions with ease.
The heart of the model is an elliptical surface wing with a D-box. The middle section is equipped with a ballast box that allows ballasting with up to four rectangular ballast slugs. We recommend our custom ballast set as an accessory. The ballast box is located directly at the center of gravity position. This ensures that the center of gravity does not shift when ballasting. The low-drag fuselage, is only 20 mm wide and very functional.
The Competition wing is compatible with all other RESilience fuselages, especially with the electric fuselage.
