Sugar glider Flying 02

A small, easy-to-carry 1m class thermal glider.

Although it employs classic construction primarily of balsa wood, the Sugar Glider is designed with a modern sensibility, and the concise manual allows you to maximise the fun of assembling it.

Efficiently designed wings will win your heart in one fell swoop. It has a streamlined sweep angle, streamlined edges, a low wing load of about 8g/dm². And also it can be attached and detached from the fuselage with just one screw.

It is designed for a folding spinner that includes a motor suited for its shorter nose and body. It has flight characteristics that reduce the moment of inertia during turning flight. Depending on the pilot’s preference, the stabiliser can selectively apply normal type and V-tail type. To achieve maximum stiffness while effectively minimizing the number of parts, the designers used blasa wood, carbon material and hardwoods to create an easy to assemble and robust structure.

The proportions and balance of all parts have been harmoniously arranged to achieve not only flight performance but also a visually beautiful form. The achievement of comfortable flight performance Sugar Glider was achieved with dozens of prototypes and over a thousand test flights during an 18 month development.

The Sugar Glider is small and light, so it immediately responds to small-scale heat in the atmosphere, has a small turning radius, and has a large glide ratio.
