The Lentus is the latest development from MULTIPLEX. The model is designed as a club glider with a focus on thermal and slope flight.
We have again implemented a lot of innovative ideas in the Lentus. In the basic RR version already built, the model has a powerful ROXXY brushless motor for 3S-2600 batteries and is equipped as standard with 6 Hitec HS-65HB servos for elevator, rudder, ailerons and flaps. By installing the optionally available retractable landing gear, the model is self-launching in conjunction with a 4S 2600 battery and an 8×6″ propeller. As a further option, it is possible to activate the prepared tow release by installing a Hitec HS-65HB servo, and this despite the installed electric motor and landing gear! Due to the modern airfoil design, the model achieves a very wide performance range and allows a dynamic flying style. The 4 flap surfaces allow pinpoint landings (butterfly).
Warning: The receiver used with this airplane must be compatible with 50hz analog servos. Using a receiver intended for digital servo frame rate will ruin the included servos.
