Fox MDM-1 3.5m ARF

Composite wing and elevator

The model has a light quality laminate fuselage, the wing and elevator are made as a vacuumed sandwich into molds, carbon reinforcements and flanges make the model incredibly strong and light. The model is completely painted in molds, so the surface of the model is perfectly smooth without unevenness. The wing coupling consists of an 18x1mm aluminum tube with a glued carbon rod with a diameter of 16mm. The cabin is glued to the frame, laminate seats and instrument panel are included.

Chassis wheel with aluminum disc

The MDM-1 FOX model is made in a 1: 4 scale to have the prerequisites for a dynamic aerobatic flight with the flight characteristics of a large aircraft. The 4-flap wing allows you to change the curvature of the profile so that its shape corresponds to the given flight conditions and to increase the flight possibilities. Soft landing flaps can be used for landing. The model lands on a landing gear wheel with a diameter of 100 mm. Flight characteristics are extremely good-natured. FOX flies like on tracks, in every situation it is easy to control and dynamically responds to commands during acrobatics.

Dashboard

With such a large model glider, cabin equipment is also an important part. The model has two instrument panels, one is a classic instrument panel in front of the pilot, the other is for the rear pilot.

Tail part of the model

The elevator is attached with two screws to the exact position of the bed with glued nuts, the rudder is inserted into the prepared holders and into the pins on the upper and lower side of the rudder.

Wing assembly

The wing coupling consists of an aluminum tube with a glued carbon rod, this combination can withstand an incredible load and has a very high flexural strength. The wing halves slide towards the root rib, the position of the wing halves being secured by carbon pins.

Package contents

Fox contains the complete accessories and components needed for finishing, such as couplings, forks and ball joints, rudder levers, couplings, bolts, wheels, etc. The wooden components are designed to be glued to the fuselage.

Recommended batteries

To power the model, we recommend a 2x powered LiPol battery with 4 cells (14.8 V).

• LiPol battery Spectrum Smart LiPo 14.8V 4000mAh 30C IC3 with Smart technology
• LiPol battery Spectrum Smart LiPo 14.8V 5000mAh 30C IC5 with Smart technology

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology are currently the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. You can find the advantages of Spektrum Smart technology here.

Protective covers for batteries

Protective covers are designed to reduce the risk associated with transporting and charging batteries. LiPo batteries can, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity. The LiPo battery is prone to mechanical damage and therefore needs to be thoroughly protected.

Recommended chargers for conventional and Smart batteries

If you decide to use modern Smart LiPo batteries in RC aircraft models, then we recommend the following chargers:

• Charger with mains power supply Spektrum S1100AC with one output 1x100W . <
• Charger with mains power supply Spektrum S2100 with two outputs 2x 100W .

Recommended modern chargers for Smart batteries

• High performance AC charger Spectrum Smart G2 charger S1400 1x400W AC with one 400W output.
• High performance AC charger Spektrum Smart G2 charger S2200 2x200W AC with two 2x200W outputs.

There is a reduction for charging IC5 / IC3 Spectrum conversion cable IC5 device - IC3 battery 10cm 10 AWG.

Recommended Spectrum transmitters for demanding pilots

To control larger and more demanding models, we recommend modern programmable SPEKTRUM transmitters of higher series:

• 8-channel DX Spectrum DX8e DSMX series transmitter with Smart Technology compatibility .
• 10-channel transmitter of the NX series Spectrum NX10 DSMX with the latest trends, voice output, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port .
• 20-channel transmitter of the iX Spektrum iX20 DSMX series with a large color 5 "touch screen, an Android interface with Czech and a transport case.
