Flying the CCM Liberty F5J RC Sailplane

The CCM Liberty is a 4M F5J RC sailplane made in Ukraine.
This particular model was the only one I was able to import before the military conflict began.

The Liberty is all new for 2022. It represents years of knowledge and development by CCM gained from producing the Optimus sailplane. The Liberty features a hallow 4m three piece wing and a unique two piece fuselage. The tails are solid core rohacell. As far as hallow molded models go, you will be hard pressed to find a higher quality model.

The pushrods are installed at the factory in the boom and pod. All you have to do is trim and connect the servo side in the nose pod. The wing has G10 machined IDS horns pre-installed and linkage rods are hooked up for Servorahmen IDS trays. (not included)

The nose comes cut to 30mm and you can trim it back as you wish for CG purposes.

You must purchase servorahmen IDS trays for your servos of choice separately.

Model includes-

Protective covers for Wing and tail
3D Printed servo tray for nose pod.
IDS Horns and arms pre-installed for servorahmen IDS trays.
Wire harness for center panel pre-installed
Wire harness for nose pod
Hardware and servo covers

It is the next level of our team.

The new Liberty model is the implementation of new ideas and technologies into one single unit.

The aerodynamic design is the result of collaboration of famous designers.

This is a model with a great history and transformation into a modern f5J model. The original design was developed by Eser Kismir with Philip Kolb’s help, which allowed to choose the right series of aerodynamic profiles and the concept of the model. After that our CCM team picked up these developments and modernized it in accordance with updated modern requirements.

At the first stage, the model was released in a limited series called Libery and later it will have the original name – Liberty.

It is a completely new model with a larger wingspan, different fuselage and better materials.

We designed an innovative version of the fuselage and to be more specific – it is about the mechanism of its connection, which will allow:

– to store the model in a more compact way for transportation;

– will make it easier to replace separate parts if needed;

– will give an opportunity to develop new model configurations in the future.

As a result, we developed the up-to-date F5j model.
