This is an all balsa and basswood competition glider for the F3RES (Rudder Elevator Spoiler) class. The design is by R Birol Oner of Turkey and is intended to be relatively easy to build and very easy to fly while also delivering performance via its P. Kolb PK-FB 31-32 airfoils (equivalent to the AG series airfoils by Dr. Mark Drela). The Thermaleer (“Rookie” in eastern Europe) has a strong competition pedigree with over 50 built and flown in competitions. This version of the Thermaleer is the MK.3 so it is a mature design that will serve you well. This class of glider is gaining popularity for fun casual contests with an emphasis on fun and the satisfaction of "flying something I made myself”. The glider is supposed to be launched using a bungee but can also be adapted to electric or flown off a slope. This short kit contains all of the sheet balsa and ply components and spars required to build a Thermaleer as well as a set of full size plans. The kit also includes form jigs for checking the leading edge shape. Lastly the kit will come with unshaped wood for the leading and trailing edges and a set of laser cut basswood spars. Kit includes hardware for wing joining (4mm steel joiner in bras tube)/mounting (mounting bolts and nuts) and tow hook assembly.
