Graupner,WP UPDATE,4536

WP UPDATE Graupner 4536 The UPDATE is a thoroughbred SAL-HLG (side-arm-launching hand-launch glider). At the design stage we were anxious that this model should
satisfy the special requirements which are made on the new generation of HLGs. The latest HLGs are no longer simply hurled upwards like a javelin, but launched discus-style, using a rotary movement. This new method of launching gives greater launch height and therefore longer flight times. UPDATE can be launched equally well by right-handed and left-handed modellers. On a flat field the model can either be hand-launched using the SAL technique, or brought up to gliding height by a bungee or winch. Micro-Power servos are required for rudder, elevator and both ailerons, and the control system requires a suitable mixer at the transmitter. The GRP/CFRP fuselage, GRP/CFRP wing and machined tail panels ensure that the model can be assembled quickly.
