KAVAN Alpha V2 1500mm RTF - green

ALPHA 1500 V2 comes in a new improved version and a new colored "coat", now also in a set with the KAVAN V5 computer RC kit. Although at first glance the external shapes have remained the same, upon closer inspection you will find a number of changes contributing to simpler and more pleasant operation, such as the new KAVAN GO-09 Plus digital servos, ball joints on all control rods or a new wing clutch. The powerful brushless motor with a new generation 30A regulator and a 3S LiPo battery provide enough power not only for normal flying with a motor glider, but also for aerobatic flying. The ALPHA 1500 V2 will "grow" along with you and your piloting skills; In addition, you can use the KAVAN V5 computerized RC kit for many other and far more advanced models that you will purchase in the future!

ALPHA 1500V2  is an elegant motor glider with a large wing area with controlled ailerons, rudder and elevator, powered by a powerful brushless motor. The robust - and at the same time very light - construction made of EPO foam guarantees excellent resistance to damage in a crash or at least very easy repairability if any damage occurs. A lightweight LiPo battery with a large capacity is used to power the motor, and you get a 24-channel computerized RC kit to control the model. We simply made sure that your path to success was wide open and that your first steps were not complicated by worries of a "material nature".

The fuselage with the mounted C2217-1200 engine, KAVAN R-30B Plus controller (with extended programming options) and rudder and elevator servos is molded from EPO foam. The cabin cover is removable with a magnetic closure. The two-piece wing with carbon spars is also molded from EPO, the ailerons are controlled by 2 servos mounted in the wing with short straight wire rods. The wing halves are connected by an aluminum alloy connector, secured by a plastic connecting plate and attached to the fuselage with a pair of screws. The tail surfaces in the classic arrangement are molded from EPO, controlled by wire cables. They are attached to the fuselage with a pair of screws. The 8.5x6" folding propeller (the diameter is determined by the larger diameter cone with a longer beam) uses standard 8x6" blades. Cooling of the engine, controller and battery is assisted by additional cooling air inlets on the sides of the nose, the necessary outlet for heated air is at the bottom of the fuselage in the space under the wing.

Preparation for flight only includes screwing on the tail surfaces, connecting the wing halves and fastening them to the fuselage, installing the receiver and connecting the propulsion battery. The ailerons, rudder, elevator and engine speed are controlled.

To control the model, the kit includes a 24-channel KAVAN V5 RC kit, which you can use in the most basic setting with ailerons controlled by one channel - but it also allows independent control of both aileron servos for easy adjustment of their deflection differentiation and, if necessary, mixing as aerodynamic brakes. You can further enhance the control of the model by programming double or exponential deflections.

To power the ALPHA 1500 V2, the kit includes an 11.1 V LiPo battery with a capacity of 1200 mAh and a KAVAN C3 charger for charging it.

The ALPHA 1500 V2 is intended for beginners - as we always supply - under the supervision of an experienced pilot, as well as for anyone who just wants to have a nice recreational flight. The flight characteristics are pleasant, easy to follow and the control of the model is precise. The model will introduce you to full-fledged control of the model around all three axes; with correct coordinated control of the rudder, ailerons and elevator. You will "find" this experience at the latest right after you start flying your first aerobatic model or (semi)scale model of any kind. The design of the control rods and the supplied KAVAN V5 computer transmitter allow you to set the deflection sizes within a wide range. A beginner will start with small ones, safe even with excessive "steering"; an experienced pilot will set large ones, allowing for a bit of basic aerobatics with and without the engine - thanks to the more powerful engine, the Alpha 1500 V2 does somersaults, barrel rolls, and headlands very easily and well! The engine power is sufficient for a brisk climb, so you will only need a moment to hunt for thermals! The Alpha 1500 V2 reacts sensitively even to weak thermals, and thanks to precise control around all axes, it easily settles even into a small diameter rising chimney.

RTF set includes: fuselage molded from EPO with mounted brushless motor, 8.5x6" folding propeller, 30A speed controller and 2 servos, wing molded from EPO with installed 2 servos and LED lights, tail surfaces made of EPO, duralumin wing coupling, KAVAN V5 RC kit, 3S LiPo battery 1200 mAh, KAVAN C3 charger and detailed instructions for building and flying.
