A practically finished semi-model of a Czech-Italian tourist aircraft of the STOL category with a span of 1600 mm made of almost indestructible carbon-reinforced extruded polyolefin (EPO) foam. Equipped with C3548-800 reciprocating motor, 10×6 three-bladed propeller, R-50SB controller and six micro servos. Controllable ailerons, flaps with coupled slots, rudder, elevator, controllable spur and engine speed. Model is equipped with functional LED lights. For 4S LiPo 2600-3300 mAh (min. 30C).
In the second half of the 1990s, the Italian designer Russo Pasquale and his team set out to create an ultralight tourist aircraft with excellent flight characteristics, short takeoff and landing capabilities with a classic, proven design that would be economical to operate, easy to build and maintain. They were inspired by the legendary Piper Cub. But during construction, they used the most modern computer technology and the latest knowledge of aerodynamics, top materials and avionics.
The first of the series of Savage aircraft began to be produced in Italy at the turn of 1997 and 1998. In 1999, production was moved to the Czech Republic. Since then, he has been successfully working for the company Zlin Aviation s.r.o., where he can rely on the long-standing tradition of the world-famous sports aircraft manufacturer and its experienced team of workers.
More than 500 Savage series aircraft have already found their customers all over the world. The latest model is the Norden designed for Rotax 914, 915 or 916 engines with 115/141/160 HP. It offers the installation of a wide range of propellers, avionics and other individual modifications, thus enabling the pilot to fulfill his dream of a tourist aircraft capable of taking off and landing anywhere and at any time.
The hull of the model is made of highly durable EPO foam (extruded polyolefin) reinforced with internal carbon reinforcements. A C3548-800 AC electric motor with a 10x6" three-bladed propeller and a Kavan R-50SB Plus regulator with a powerful BEC stabilizer is installed in the bow. In the bow, under the removable cover, you will find enough space for the drive battery.
The model's EPO foam wing is two-piece with carbon spars and a carbon tube coupler that is bolted in place. Ailerons and flaps (with coupled slots on the leading edge) are controlled independently by two servos with short straight wire rods. There are also functional position and landing LED lights.
Easily removable carbon wing struts are held in place by a pair of wire clips. The tail surfaces are also made of EPO foam. The rudder and elevator servos are stored in the fuselage, the rudders are controlled by short wire rods.
The main chassis is solid, duralumin with sprung mock-up struts. The wire spur is coupled to the turn signal.
The model is powered by a class C3548-800 AC motor with a 50 A Kavan R-50SB Plus regulator.
For power, you will need a four-cell LiPo with a capacity of 2600-3300 mAh with a load capacity of at least 30C. Choose the specific type in such a way that the correct position of the center of gravity works best for you without further importation.
To control the model in an emergency, you can also use a six-channel computer RC set without special functions - in the basic version, the ailerons, flaps, rudder are connected to only one channel using the connection board installed in the cabin area.
The ideal is, of course, to use at least a seven-channel computer RC set that allows independent control of ailerons and flaps with two servos, which today even the affordable Radiolink AT9S, AT10II or Futaba T6K or T10J can do. In this case, the aileron and flap servos must be connected separately (you can use an additional set of cables, which is sold separately).
Of course, the manual includes a thorough table with proven default rudder deflection settings to easily prepare the Norden for flight, even if it is your first model with full wing mechanization.
