Prestige 2PK PRO

 

 

Many pilots have been asking us for a long time whether we are preparing a new model.It is not our habit to produce a new model often just to increase the sales of our models. We believe that every new model must be better, more powerful. The customer should not be disappointed with the performance and improvements.. There is a lot of pilots that very often buy every new model that comes on the market hoping that it will have a miraculous feature just because it is new. In order to achieve peak performance, a pilot  should fly with one type of model for a long time and become "fused" with it. Of course, the biggest credit for all the changes and improvements goes to our designer Philip Kolb. We really thank him for that. We also thank Benjamin Rodax, who designed more models for us with Philip Kolb .

 

We have had countless responses from pilots who have "switched" to the Prestige 2PK and their performance have increased rapidly due to the performance and very friendly features of the model. He would never design a model for us that he was not sure would not improve upon the previous model. That this is true is also evidenced by the first reactions of some top pilots who had the option to try the Prestige 2PK PRO and enjoy flying with this novelty. We probably don't need to mention that the entire model is produced in electrically heated aluminum moulds, which are produced by very precise CNC machines.

The wings, rudder and elevator are manufactured using the latest FRC (Full Rohacell Core) Technology. The fuselage is also inflated at high pressure in electrically heated aluminum molds. Which guarantees high strength at low weight .PRESTIGE 2PK PRO will use all its advantages in all categories of F5J, GPS light and F3J. After some time ago other manufacturers practically stopped the development of new F3J models, the Prestige 2PK and Prestige 2PK PRO are the only top models on the market for the F3J category. We wish to all Prestige 2PK PRO users much success and only the best experiences.

Therefore, the first measure in the design of the Prestige 2PKPro was to increase the wingspan to the maximum 4000mm allowed. At the same time, a careful redesign of the airfoil section promised further performance gains. For this purpose, it was necessary to make the aerofoils even thinner in order to save additional drag, especially in the medium lift coefficient range. Over large extents of the outer wings, the airfoils are now 0.3 percent thinner than on the Prestige 2PK, culminating in a tip airfoil being only 5.8 percent thick anymore. This measure mainly results in better legs thus performance gains when hunting for a thermal or coming back home from far downwind.

For aircraft which are primarily operating in the higher lift coefficient regime this is a very effective tool to mitigate tip stall tendencies without the necessity to use wider chords close to the wing tip. A wider chord on the wingtip can also mitigate tip stall tendencies without the need of using thicker airfoils, but will have the disadvantage that more mass has to be built into the outer wing panels due to higher component volume – and this higher mass certainly will negatively affect the planes` agility. Concerning the washout twist distribution, it was quite astonishing that twisting the central area of the wingtips was clearly more necessary to avoid tip stalls than the outermost tips. Hence the washout twist distribution was chosen non linear.As a result to this, the Prestige 2PK Pro shows better performance values up to a flight speed of 70km/h than the Prestige 2PK.

With the resulting longer span and higher aspect ratio of the Prestige 2PK Pro wing it was also required to rearrange the tail moment arms in order to keep similar tail volumes as on the Prestige 2PK.As the vertical tail volume is reduced by a greater portion than the horizontal tail volume while increasing the wing span without changing the tail moment arms, both tail moment arms were increased by different numbers. Thereby the fin was moved 92mm more downstream and the stabiliser 65mm more downstream to reach equivalent tail volumes as on the Prestige 2PK.

As Samba Model is able to really build light tail feathers, it will still work to keep the inertia values of the tail units low. The big advantage in this matter, when elongating the tail boom, is that the spiral stability values of the aircraft will increase. Consequently the Prestige 2PK Pro should be able to perform steeper thermal turns without any tendencies of the plane to spiral in.

Kappa 35 F5J

Special features of this model include:A well designed low drag fuselage with a large canopy hatch giving good access to the powertrain and RC, making for easy RC installation and maintenance.

 

A high aspect ratio wing with proprietary airfoils optimised for F5J flying - the wing excels in low speed tight thermal turns, allowing the model to be thermalled away from small, weak thermals with ease. This allows competition winning low starts to be made with confidence. Despite its extremely good thermal performance the wings maintain a good L/D up to higher speeds, allowing the Kappa 35 to return from a long way downwind with ease.

The wing has slightly swept back wing tips, making it approximate to the Schulman planform. This is meant to improve performance and handling, especially near the stall. Superb quality of construction and attention to detail. The model had been constructed by master builders who must have invested hundreds of hours in each airframe. The level of finish achieved is very rare.
The plane was designed and optimised for electric gliding from the start, it is not a modified F3J design. This has allowed a high aspect ratio to be used and more suitable airfoils. The all the control surfaces are sealed and the wing control horns are all hidden inside the control surfaces, further reducing drag.

The level of completeness of the airframe is exceptional, allowing the model to be finished in just a few hours. The wing breaks down into three pieces and the tailplane and fin are easily removable, allowing the model to be easily transported to contests.

The model is available in three composite layups: Light - Mostly glass covered flying surfaces, with carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This is the lightest version. DBox - The flying surfaces have a carbon DBox at the front. The rest is mostly glass with carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This version weighs approx 30 g more than the Light version but is stronger. This layup costs approx 7% more. Light Strong SC - All the flying surfaces are covered in lightweight spread carbon, with extra carbon local reinforcement and a strong carbon spar. This version only weighs approx the same as the Light version but is much stronger and less susceptible to hanger rash and handling damage. This layup costs approx 23% more. For all wing layups the fuselage is all carbon. The top of the fuselage is painted and the underside is left in natural carbon black. This looks very attractive. For all electric models (irrespective of the fuselage construction) we recommend te 2.4GHz aerials are exited from the fuselage, so they are in the outside airflow. One horizontal and one vertical aerial usual works well. There is too much electrical equipment in an electric glider fuselage to the RC signal to be reliably received inside the pod. All models are supplied with high quality sewn cloth padded wing bags, to ensure the wing stays in perfect condition.

Pike Prestige First of all thanks to Philip Kolb for constructing an exceptional model in the F5J world. He was not influenced by various fads in the F5J world and used all his knowledge, experience and best available software to construct the amazing PRESTIGE 2PK.To this we added the full rohacell core to the design, the whole model is made in heated aluminum molds to a very high temperature. This technology creates a light, strong and stable platform for years of flying.It is worth mentioning a few properties we have found very nice after flying this model for a while. In circling the model as expected did not have a need for extreme dihedral joiners since the aerodynamic design and airfoil changes does that work in a better way than increasing dihedral. It was first produced with 6 degree tip joiners and then we added an 8 degree alternative. It has also been flown a lot with 5 degree joiners with good success in low altitude thermalling at EC F3J 2019. There should be no need for extreme joiners though this is again a personal preference. Circling camber can be extreme (5-8 degrees) while still maintaining speed during because of a new tail design that keeps the energy better (less drag). This means high bank angle is possible and yet still keep the high lift in a tight thermal.The large and newly designed rudder makes it possible to yank the model into any thermal you find. As you will find described in the designer Philip Kolb’s writeup the penetration in all camber settings is very good because of the new tail design. Now you can change camber at any point without losing flying energy like we see in many airfoils. The model now just speeds up to the desired speed/camber setting and keeps that for a trip over the whole airfield thru lift and sink. Night and early morning testing have shown sink values as good as 0,35-0,4m/s in distance mode (1mm up along the whole trailing edge and measured by altimeter). That means search mode for thermals is very efficient and a fantastic glide ratio. Flying in full camber in the same conditions gives values in the range of 0,25-0,3m/s but less area is covered. Landing the Prestige 2PK is easier than ever. No aileron setup is needed (aileron goes to neutral when brakes applied). Only flaps and elevator compensation. Still the model slows down to a crawl and pushing over is easy as the new elevator keeps the energy well even with full flaps applied. The rudder is also better and bigger and with the new high dihedral middle and aerodynamic airfoil changes it corresponds well to rudder input and is not as much affected by sidewind as earlier models. Though it should be said that the lightest layup has very light tips and heavier tips (inertia) might be preferred if the landing area have lots of sidewind and/or turbulence.The nose is removable. It is made longer than needed and can be shortened ( max. 100 mm) according to engine weight and lipo. Install equipment and shorten nose to fit preferred CG. The original nose has a diameter of 32 mm. It is designed to fit cheap and reliable outrunners for lighter versions. Very soon we will produce a nose cone with slimmer diameter of 30 mm.The servos and receiver are located in the fuselage under the center wing therefore there is enough space in the front for the motor, controller and lipo. Battery size from very small and up to 2300mah can be used as much care is taken to a very thin but almost square fuse in the front area. The complete wire harness is built into the center panel and the central connector is ready installed. Wire harness for fuselage is also delivered ready made.Servo compartments in wing are laminated on all sides with carbon fabric, so a very strong box has been created in which the IDS system can be mounted. We recommend to install IDS for KST X10 mini, JRDS 181 or 189 for flaps and MKS 6110HV in the tips. For fuselage are suitable servos size like MKS 6110 HVIn the future will also produce a V tail version Although it is a new model a few pilots had it before WCH F5J 2019 and only had the chance to test for a short time.So in the biggest F5J competitions of all times the pre contest 4th WCH World F5J Challenge only 3 pilots flew with the Prestige 2 PK. All 3 was pilots were in Flyoff out of 190 pilots. Robert Bonafede won the 4th World Challenge and finished 3rd at the World Championship that followed.Other pilots with the Prestige 2PK achieved a lot of podium positions in a lot of other F5J competitions. We wish everyone who purchases Prestige 2PK many great experiences and sporting successes.

PIKE DYNAMIC F5J Producing a new model that will beat the competition is very difficult, you can be certain that we did it. The new Dynamic is more than you might expect at first sight. Although visually similar to the Perfection the Dynamic is an all new design. Two of the most important qualities of a F5J model are the ability to circle at very low altitudes while in a thermal and to be able to move around the sky with minimal loss in height. The Dynamic excels in both areas, combined with low flying weights and improved controllability in landing we believe the Dynamic is the perfect choice for F5J pilots. The Dynamic was designed using CAD/CAM technology, all parts are completely produced out of carbon fibre. Dynamic vs. Perfection

• New F5J specific airfoil- Exact camber changes must be made for each Flight Mode, this allows unbelievable range in speed.
• Thinner Fuselage
• Increased dihedral on wings tips allows for increased turning performance. Centre joiner can be 3 or 5.3 degrees. Wider flaps for increased landing control and wider ailerons for more precise handling.
• RTF weight starting at 1100g.
• Control of flaps and ailerons is available with our LDS system http://www.f3j.com/precision/lds/index.htm or delivered with 2mm GFK control horns
• Elevator and rudder are produced using machined solid core foam technology with low weights.

The PIKE Dynamic is delivered with pre-bonded pushrod housings in the fuselage, wire harness installed wings and supplied for fuselage, GFK control horns (if customer doesn’t order LDS) for ailerons and flaps, couplers for pushrods in fuselage, and 2mm carbon fibre pushrods. Many pilots want extremely low flying weights but low weight won’t do you any good if you can’t get back to the landing tape. In F5J, competition results are often decided by who can catch a thermal and return from downwind.

The model uses aileron, elevator, flap and rudder controls and utilises a strong carbon/kevlar fuselage. A highly competitve model ideal for F5J competiton. The Supra E is available from Airstrike Australia.

F5J Graphite 2 The Graphite 2 from FVK models is an F5J model distributed by the Airstrike company. The Graphite 2 has wingspan of 3100mm, a wing area of 64,5 dm2 anda length of 1515mm. The model is available in light weight and full carbon versions. This model has the MH 32 wingsection that has been used on many successful F3J models and elevator section is HT14 transitioning into the ht12 section. The model uses flaps aileron and V-tail for control, and the full span surfaces allow for different full span flap settings. This model is well priced and competitive in F5J events. I recommend the lightweight version of the Graphite 2 as the model is not being launched by winch. FVK models are well made expect good quality moldings from this model.
