A3 Adam 850mm school glider kit

Product detailed description

Adam is a simple school glider of category A3, designed primarily for teaching construction and the basics of model flying. It is optimized for construction and flying for children from 10 years of age, or from 8 years of age under adult supervision. Children can try building and flying a larger model on it for the first time and gradually gain basic experience with construction, adjustment and even controlling the model itself.

Conceptually, Adam is based on the proven Puppy model. The wing is constructed using the same principle, which, when built correctly, allows for the automatic creation of the necessary wing negatives. The design is designed with beginner modelers in mind - the model can forgive even significant inaccuracies that arise during construction or flying.

The kit includes pre-ground wing strips and a 1:1 scale model plan, which facilitates construction as well as orientation in individual structural elements. The design is also prepared for the possible installation of RC equipment.

Adam is suitable not only for the first introduction to flying, but also as a teaching and experimental model. It can be used to demonstrate the effect of different control surface settings on the model's behavior, test changes in the center of gravity position and perform first experiments with RC control. Thanks to its simple and durable construction, the model can withstand less gentle handling, which is common among novice modelers. In case of damage, it is also very easy to repair, so individual mistakes during construction or flying do not have to mean the end of the model. The big advantage of Adam is that the model does not need to be coated. This eliminates the need to purchase coating material, adhesives and other equipment needed for coating.

What you should know before buying a model. 

Kits are not toys.
Their construction and operation require concentration and discipline.
Kits are divided into several categories, according to the modeler's abilities. 

A beginner modeler
is a modeler who has not yet mastered basic modeling procedures and techniques. He has no idea what the center of gravity of a model is, is not familiar with reading technical drawings, and cannot decide without help what glue or varnish to use in a particular situation.
Kits are available for beginner modelers that contain more detailed instructions for building a model. Models mostly have a solid wing cover and may not even need to be painted. By building such models, you will gradually gain the necessary practice for further construction and flying with them. They do not fly the best, but they forgive many mistakes made during the construction and alignment (setting) of the model.
School models are also used by beginner modelers to gain modeling practice. These are more complex models that are specifically aimed at gaining a certain amount of experience and practice. For example, painting the model's wing. The instructions do not include all the basic modeling procedures and techniques. They focus only on new techniques or technologies used in the kit.

An advanced modeler
is a modeler who already has practical experience with building models and flying them. He already has modeling techniques and technologies in place. When building a model, he bases them on a technical drawing. The model's instructions focus only on a brief description of how to assemble the model. These models are not primarily intended for beginner modelers. A beginner modeler can assemble this model, for example, under the supervision of a model club leader or a more experienced friend.

An experienced modeler
is a modeler who is able to structurally adapt a model from the kit to his needs. For example, he can equip a free model with an electric motor and RC equipment. The instructions only serve as an information aid for assembling the model.
