Discovery [EK-STDISC]

Untitled document The ST model Discovery is all about learning to fly radio control model aircraft for the very first time. The Discovery has been totally designed with that aim in mind and has all the 'easy to build' and 'easy to fly' characteristics that the beginner needs. What's more, the time between opening the box and being ready to fly is measured in minutes not hours! This version includes the excellent ST Model 2.4GHz radio system, flight battery and balance charger as standard. When you are learning, the likelihood of a 'less than perfect' landing has been thought about too. There is a heavy duty, sprung nose leg and tough aluminium undercarriage. That main undercarriage is screwed to a special plastic molding incorporated, longitudinally inside the foam fuselage. The screws are designed to pull out rather than damaged the fuselage in a heavy arrival.

The semi-symmetrical, tapered wing with anti tip-stall, curved wing tips will give all the correct characteristics in both calm and windy conditions plus a docile stall. The ailerons are responsive yet progressive without giving over-control to panic a learner. In fact, the same kind of progressive response comes from the elevator too. The rudder and nose wheel are connected for positive direction control on the ground and smooth response in the air.

Thrust is courtesy of a powerful, outrunner style, brushless motor and a 30A brushless electronic speed controller (ESC). The propeller is an impact absorbing 10 x 5 that has been matched to the motor for high thrust and low current consumption. The 3 cell 1800mAh Li-Po battery included should give around 10 minutes of flight time under normal 'training' conditions. There is room to fit a bigger capacity battery too if you want and it will have very little effect on the centre of gravity and handling. Also included is the Pro-Peak Mini Mize balance charger that will have the battery re-charged and ready for flight in less than an hour.

As there is no gluing involved, replacement airframe parts can be fitted in seconds, should damage incure. They can be purchased from your local dealer. Keeping you in the air and enjoying model flying is a critical part of the design philosophy.

Once you have learnt to fly with the Discovery, there are many more exciting models in the ST range to temp you!
