Robbe CYCLONE XT 6,2m ARF med GFK krop

The CYCLONE XT is the consistent further development of its predecessor CYCLONE. With an incredible wingspan of 6,20m, it is the giant in the electric glider sky! The epithet XT stands for “extended”. The model has a painted GRP fuselage and two 2-piece wings with Abachi planking and GRP carpet pad. Its new LS 6330-15 brushless drive is rated for 8S LiPo operation for powerful climbs and easy takeoff from the launch trolley.
The outer wing design, electrical wing mating using MPX connectors in mounting frames and the new LS 6330-15 long shaft drive motor are the main features of the new Cyclone XT, along with the increased wingspan. The canopy latch has been moved to the rear under the wing/fuselage moldings as is common with large scale model gliders.
The successful HQ/W airfoil has been left in place. It runs from an HQ/W-2.5/12 at the root rib to an HQ/W-2.5/11 in the center and finishes at the winglet with an HQ/W-3/10.5. This is an excellent way to fly extended thermal flights, as this is the CYCLONE XT’s profession. The flight characteristics are as usual good-natured and quiet.
