Nearly Indestructible Combat Wing for the R/C Flyer!

                

 The Z-Wing has been tested and proven over and over for years and withstands tremendous abuse. We have had head-on collisions with absolutely no damage to our Z-Wing or to the radio gear. Beginners have dived the Z-Wing

from over 75 feet up, straight into a concrete sidewalk and the only damage was a slightly crumpled nose and scuffed covering which was straightened out with a hot iron!  We personally had one to land in the street at Redondo Beach here in California, on the Esplanade and a SUV drove onto the aircraft and skidded to a stop with its right front tire on the Z-Wing's center, right where the receiver is, with no damage to the receiver or servos and the only damage was some abrasion

 to the covering on the underside and the winglets had to be remounted in the field.  We flew the wing within 10 minutes of the incident.  We cannot promise you that you will never sustain radio damage in a crash.  It  is possible to crack a crystal or worse, you could damage or destroy the receiver or battery pack.  No plane or radio gear is safe from possible damage, but we can tell you that the  Z-Wing itself is nearly indestructible in normal combat flying conditions.

The Z-Wing was designed for combat flying and cliff soaring and the Z-Wing has some of the best flying characteristics combined into a single flying wing.  It has an overall light flying weight and a fast semi-symmetrical airfoil with low stall speed characteristics.  The result is a smooth, fast and highly maneuverable flying wing which will stay aloft even in the lightest breeze.  The  Z-Wing  is designed for R/C pilots with flying skills from beginner through advanced.  The Z-Wing will out-maneuver and destroy your opponent! (Well, anyway they will have to retrieve their shot down (knocked down) aircraft).   Inverted flying with the Z-Wing is a breeze with its semi-symmetrical airfoil.  It is manufactured from EPP (Expanded Polypropylene Foam) and the wing is joined and strengthened with a single Carbon Fiber Spar.   The Z-Wing can be flown with an  electric motor  for Cliff or Inland flying.  So, those of you who do not have a cliff to fly

 from, you are not limited in your flying.  It is great to use a High-Start system (an elastic bungee cord with 90 pound fishing line or greater, check with your hobby dealer) to fly with by taping a common drapery hook with reinforced packing tape on the bottom of the wing.  We have had great fun just hand launching our Z-Wing at a football field just to see how many circles around the field that we can make.  You can even play a modified Frisbee style golf with these Z-Wing's  It is great for two or more guys or gals to go out to a large field with trees and take turns teeing off from a spot to a predetermined location and see which of them can get closest in the shortest number of throws.  Sometimes you can choose to fly to and around a tree or two to see if you can make it  back and spot land your  Z-Wing.  The method of scoring is simple.  The first person closest is "0", second is "1" , third is "2" and so on.  You can be quite ahead of the pack and suddenly be in last place.  You will be surprised how these wings can take very harsh punishment and sustain little or no damage.  Usually the only damage is minor scuffing of the covering from hitting a tree.  We hope you enjoy your new Z-Wing and wish you

 many hours of great flying fun!
