Description Caution: Aerotech have, at least for the moment, suspended production of all long burn rocket motors. At present, we are not aware of any suitable rocket motors available for this aircraft in North America. We are continuing production of this kit for those who still wish to own compact hotliner, DLG, or slope soaring model or who have access to remaining stocks of suitable rocket motors. Firefeather is a revolutionary new sailplane which combines all of your favorite high performance disciplines. With a carefully optimized layout and modern airfoils, Firefeather can fly as a DLG, a micro hotliner, and a rocket, all without changes in configuration. It its able to accommodate 18mm rocket motors up to D class, providing spectacular rocket powered thermal hunts, and it is sized for a powerful, lightweight electric power system which produces unlimited vertical climbs. When you’re out of rocket motors and want a quick visit to the flying field, Firefeather becomes a fantastic small DLG with all of the control features of a much larger model! It’s compact 30″ span allows you to take it almost anywhere. Looking for the craziest slope soarer ever? Firefeather has you covered there too with its extreme speed envelope and control authority, allowing excellent flight characteristics over a wide range of wind conditions.
