ST Model Fox ARTF Glider

Like all ST Model aircraft, the Fox is moulded in tough EPO foam and finished to a very high standard. From opening the box to having a model ready to fly can take a s little as 15 minutes and probably even less. The longest job is applying the decals! Just a couple of screws see the wings attached onto the carbon main spar, and as the servos and hinging is all done at the factory, that’s it. One screw has the tailplane attached in a few seconds and then it is down to applying the decals and installing your receiver.

Some aircraft create an image around them that defines exactly what they are about. The ST Model Fox does exactly that and shouts ’aerobatics’ from every angle. It is no surprise to know that the full size is one of the most aerobatic gliders in the world and this ST Model version is proud to bring that capability to you.

This version of the Fox is suitable for both slope soaring and aero-towing. Because of the low wing loading, the Fox will stay up on the slope in minimal wind. Add a little ballast and she will cope with winds up to about 20mph, thanks to the responsive controls. If you don’t have a slope handy, why not have a go at aero-towing? The Fox already has a nose towing release pre-fitted and a servo to operate it. She is very stable in the tow and can be pulled by quite a small model.

Even the ST Models Cessna is suitable if you install a tow hook, as is the new Cessna 350. We have towed her with a 40 powered trainer with no problems. The tow release can be operated by the throttle stick so using a basic 4 channel radio is no problem. All you need to do is fit a receiver and receiver battery (4 cell nimh square) of your choice.
