Aero-naut Triple Neo Thermic 2.5m Electric / Glider

Welcome to the Triple Neo family of gliders.

The wings are the same as the Triple family of gliders but the fuselage has been upgraded to a slippery glass composite pod and carbon boom, hence the name Neo.

The Triples offer a wide range of performance via the swappable wings. They offer 3 different versions, the short winged speed version for zipping around the sky, an RES wing for thermal hunting, and the big winged Thermic version for ultimate thermal hunting with ailerons.

Each version is a wood kit you build, these are not ARFs. These are really NICE kits and are very well though out and they build into beautiful planes.

With a 2.5 meter span and an AUW of 980 grams the Triple Thermic has seriously good performance. Strong climb outs and an agile coring ability will elevate you to thermal bliss; conversely, being equipped with spoilers you have a better chance of escaping those scary, plane eating BOOMERS. 

Construction:

The kit comes with a truly excellent manual; Downside, it’s in German. Upside the pictures are in English! The manual is so well illustrated you almost don’t need to read the instructions. The Google translate app on a phone does a good job of translating the instructions to English.

The laser cutting is excellent. The Wing joiner is 6mm solid carbon rod with brass tube receivers in the wings. The design is very good with puzzle style interlocking parts that speed up the build process while greatly reducing the chances of assembling the aircraft parts incorrectly or distorted. All you really need for good results is a flat work surface.

Below is a very good video detailing both the fuselage and wing builds for the Triple Neo Speed. The build of the thermic is very similar.
