Top Model Elite V

Description

A beautiful, 3 meter, powered thermal hunter.

Upon opening the box that contains the Elite V, I was once again pleasantly surprised to see TopModels very good craftsmanship and build quality. All of the parts are individually wrapped or bagged; airframe parts, screws, control linkages to the firewall, the kit is beautifully packed and very complete! 

The Elite V is an excellent thermal ship that features a sleek carbon reinforced glass fuselage that is light yet strong with ample room for gear. A traditionally built up, 3 piece, D-tube balsa wing does the heavy lifting. The V-Tail is a built up balsa construction with a carbon spar and a carbon leading edge. 

The MH32 airfoil allows the E-V to float around in a thermal yet, slip briskly through the sink when searching for the next source of lift.
