Weight: 167.97 oz (4762 g) Total Area: 984.25 sq.in (63.5 dm2) Wing Servos: MKS HV6130 wing servo Fuselage Servos: MKS HV6100 MG RX Battery: Panasonic 18650 Li-ion Wingspan: 115.74 in (2.94 m) Available in 3 variants: Carbon, Double Carbon and Competition! From the manufacturer: After a long development phase, we present the Freestyler 6, a model that incorporates current developments in classes F3B and F3F with a completely new surface design by Andreas Herrig. We remain true to our tradition of sensible fleet maintenance, backed up by diverse experience from top international pilots. The significantly thinner profile of the "6" required a revision of our TUD-LDS system. It also holds true that all freestyler parts from FS 3 to FS 6 remain compatible with each other, so that there is no limit to the pleasing combination of all parts by creative pilots and economic handling is also supported, including "old" parts. An asset that is valued by many of our customers. Of course, the new electric fuselage can also be used on the 6 series. Freestyler 6 Carbon is the standard F3F/F3B layup Freestyler 6 Double Carbon is stronger and heavier for slope racing F3F Freestyler 6 Competition is a lighter, high-end F3B version The undoubted flagship of the F3B and F3F classes is the Freestyler family. Having been on the market for many years already, the dominance of these models remains undisputed. Advancements in the areas of wing and fuselage layup with the help of introduction of new materials, elimination of wing linkage play and stiffer rudder linkage, as well as adjusted setups show that this latest version, Freestyler 6, is ready for the trophy stand! The Freestyler 6 is mainly targeted at F3F flying. It starts to excel over the Freestyler 3. 4, and 5 in the sub-40 range, increasingly gaining advantage the faster the times get. This is not only enabled by lower straightaway drag, but also improved turn performance at those speeds. A much easier snap-flap setup allows the intermediate pilot to extract higher performance more efficiently. Also the free-time pilot, not bound to a 30-second time limit after launch, will enjoy the higher top speeds after a climb.

Freestyler 5 Meet the Freestyler 5, the hottest design evolution of the Freestyler family! Designed by Andreas and Martin Herrig of Germany. Andreas and Martin have been FAI World and European Champions several times in the past and have also proved their prowess in many different international competitions in F3B, F3F and F3K classes all over the world. Our FS-5s include all the add ons: Wing bags, ballast, wiring harness and LDS for MKS 6130! Variants: Freestyler 5 Carbon is the standard F3F/F3B layup Freestyler 5 Double Carbon is stronger and heavier for slope racing F3F Freestyler 5 Competition is a lighter, high-end F3B version The undoubted flagship of the F3B and F3F classes is the Freestyler family. Having been on the market for many years already, the dominance of these models remains undisputed. Advancements in the areas of wing and fuselage layup with the help of introduction of new materials, elimination of wing linkage play and stiffer rudder linkage, as well as adjusted setups show that this latest version, Freestyler 5, is ready for the trophy stand!

A much easier snap-flap setup allows the intermediate pilot to extract higher performance more efficiently. Also the free-time pilot, not bound to a 30-second time limit after launch, will enjoy the higher top speeds after a climb. Despite the slightly more aggressive Freestyler 5 chord distribution, a gentle stall behavior, which TUD-Modelltechnik designs are famous for, is retained by appropriately shaping the airfoils in the FS5’s outer wing. Wing sweep was marginally reduced to benefit torsion at high g-loads. The Freestyler 5 is a direct result of pilots requesting a model sized between the Freestyler 3 and 4 with a wingspan of 2.94 meters and a wing area of 57.74 dm². The Freestyler 5 is not necessarily a replacement for the FS-3 and FS-4, but an extension of their main area of application. The FS-3 and FS-4 are high performance all-around designs which excell in weak and medium conditions (not by chance, they have bagged World and Vice World championships in F3B). If you already own a FS-3 or FS-4 you may be pleased to discover that all parts can be combined with the FS-5 – so you can also fly different fuselages and tails according to your personal preferences or gradually transition to the new FS-5 possibilities from your existing model. One could imagine the Freestyler 5 being flown in F3B now and then on windy days where a higher speed at the cost of a little bit of maximum lift could very well pay off! The significantly slimmed fuselage of the FS-5 not only promises aerodynamic advantages, but also contains a few neat construction solutions. Despite its quite minimal cross section, special servos are not required. The standard micro servos like the MKS HV6100 MG or S3155 should fit. These are more convenient if you have a receiver which is wider than a GR16 (21 mm) and has to go behind the receiver battery. The fuselage is designed for 2 round cells of 18650 size like the Panasonic 18650 Li-ion.Also in the wing some details were changed to enable an easier completion. The servo bays are now 5 mm wider. (Recommended servo is the MKS HV6130 wing

Jedi F3B Our latest F3B model. We left wing base depth 220mm, the same as Fosa Lift, but we have redesigned wing tips for better agility and turning performance. The aim was to create a model, which is easier to control and has better direction keeping. However it was long journey to the final version. Whole season we tested many Jedi prototypes – various fuse lenght, wingspan, V-tail angle, elevatore size etc. Nearly each competition in the season 2013 we flew another modification of Jedi. Airfoil is designed more for speed performance. Thanks to the frame design, the stability, we also have achived the same result during launch as Fosa Lift, which is highly aclaimed for the performance during launch and duration. Competition results make us happy. Frequently the pilots of Jedi are the fastest ones like Reinhard Liese in Nardt 2014 or Thomas Dylla in Kircheim 2014. Andreas Böhlen also flies Jedi in season 2014 and he won Nardt and after the competition he is the leader of FAI World Cup F3B 2014. Construction of model is fully composite with carbon in all stressed parts. For wingspar is used high modular carbon with very low ductility and kevlar honeycomb, which resulted in light and very stiff construction. Also fuselage is almost 100% carbon composite with 2,4 GHz friendly nose and nosecone. If requested we are able to prepare extra strong fuselage with double UHM carbon. The surface of the model is coloured by car-colors - please see used colours in our company. We can offer you possibility of any personal colour design you would like in addition to our standard colour schemes. All versions are ready for RDS assembling to wings and come with RDS linkage and wiring harness. On request we can prepare LDS for flaps. Also possible to order completed model with installed servos, cables, battery pack, etc. - you only put receiver and fly. Please see detail of complete finishing service. The price include all accessories for servo assembling (4 x RDS set, cables, connectors etc.), carbon pushrods, servo covers, ballast set. Padded foil bags for the entire model also included. For finishing the model you need only RC equipment (servos, reciver...) and 5 minutes epoxy. Only please specify in order what type of servo frames we should send with model. Kit contains:

• Fuselage with canopy and two carbon tubes for V-tail linkage, installed towing hook (F3B version)

Pitbull F3B Pitbull is our first model, which is specially designed for F3F competition. However it can also be used in F3B category and some pilots use it in F3B successfully. Idea of Pitbull came from tests of one F3B profile. During the hundreds hours of testing we noticed that the profile is incredible fast in turns. So it suggested itself that the profile is ideal for task in F3F with large number of turns, where the turning performance is essentials. The model is produced in both F3F and F3B lay-up. Please see below details of standard versions - F3F strong, F3F light and F3B. Double or triplecarbon F3F version on special request. Pitbull is flown by some pilots in season 2014 and the results are fantastic. Pilots flying with Pitbull like Lukas Gaubatz, Filip Kalensky and Martin Ziegler are top ranked in CONTEST results F3F 2014.Construction of model is fully composite with carbon in all stressed parts.

Fosa

The Fosa is the latest creation from a long line of champions produced by Jiri Baudis. The Wingspan is 126 in, the Wing Area 843 sq in and the Wing loading 12.63 oz / sq ft. Fosa Length is 60.4 in and Weight 74 oz, the Controls are Ail, Ele, Rud, Flaps. The Fosa is like no other, pushing both the limits of design and construction to a whole new level. It was never thought possible for an F3B/F airframe to have such a high aspect ratio of 18.8 while maintaining stiffness. This new model is revolutionizing the scene by showing us all that the impossible is now possible. Dirk Pflug again designed the new section to obtain the best launching possible, and still retain the slippery characteristics needed for speed. The Fosa has a 2.4 Ghz friendly nose and nosecone, and the wing is equipped with RDS on the control surfaces, making the linkage tight and slop free linkage, with no exposure outside of the wing with no drag! The wing connects to the fuselage with two large joiners and the wing also has ribs for additional torsional stiffness. The Fosa comes complete with RDS linkage, wiring harness, wing bags, 2 ballast sets both wing and fuselage. The Fosa was used by Steve Keep in the recent F3B World Championships and South African Craig Goodrum also used this model in the 2011 F3B World Championships. You will achieve well in competition with the Fosa F3B.

Espada RX The Espada RX was definitely the best performing Jaro Muller model with wingspan of 3.242 meters, the wingsection was the HN-785JM a Norbert Hayes wingsection and a wing area of 62.7 dm2. The Espada has a dry weight without ballast of 2050g. During the rounds that I watched this model had a very broad speed range, launched exceptionally well and definitely stood out as a fine performing thermal competition sailplane. This model is exceptionally strong and stiff, a Victorian competitor launched this model higher than I had ever seen previously in winds of around 15 knots. There has been a rush in Victoria to change over to the Espada with many models on back order, both this version and the larger 3.7 meter models for light air, with many competition models being sold to sponsor this change.

Europhia 2 Another model that performed exceptionally well was the Europhia 2. This model was designed by Martin Weberschock a long time inovator in F3B model design and I believe this model would make an exceptional heavy weather thermal model, and for F3B, I believe this model would excel in the speed task when fully ballasted. The model has span of 3.188 meters, the wingsection satrts at the root with Estrella section the MW3 and transition's to the new MW4 section. The wing area is 52.4 dm2, and the models dry weight without ballast is 2400g. This models weight is up slightly compared to other models but the design intention for this model is for f3b and having to use the one model in all events with varying wing speed, more carbon has gone into the wings on this model. This model launched well, was very stiff and strong and covered ground very well when hunting thermals. The model uses a cross tail and looked to be a fine competion model. I believe this model would perform best in thermal comps in winds over fifteen knots as a heavy weather model, and would go well with a 3.7 meter Espada or the Shadow for light weather. The Europhia 2 is also very well priced when compared to the cheaper models from less known suppliers.

Estrella Finally the Fischer Estrella is available in Australia, these models have been notoriously hard to purchase and currently there is 18 month waiting list, however the Estrella is difficult to beat as an F3B model. It is a very well optimised design that has stood the test of time, these models have been, and still are very popular because of the fine performance that they offer; explaining the long waiting time. When you order you will be given a fairly accurate time of delivery and will not be dissapointed when they arrive, these models are an awesome all rounder and if you want a design that performs well in thermal comps and F3B you cant go wrong with the Estrella. There is alot of information on the net about how to set these model up and there is very positive reviews from those that fly this model in competition. Fischer also distribute really good winch line, the 1.1 and 1.2 ml lines are supurb with good stretch and excellent reliability, these lines are really up there with the best for competition line. If you are intersted in any of these model's or products they can be found at www.airstrike.com.au.
