Taking elegant ultraslow flights with the Micro Owl is truly a peaceful experience.
Glider kit full#
Climb high, cut throttle and enjoy an ultra slow glide back to earth with full control. Full throttle input will accelerate the owl sky high with virtually unlimited vertical climb. With over 10 minutes of flight on a single battery charge providing only 1/4th throttle for flight, the micro owls design truly flies with little effort with incredible slow speeds.
When your wing has a higher camber, it also has a higher lift coefficient, meaning it can produce more lift at a given angle-of-attack.Īlthough we cannot mimic such dynamic wing articulation in flight with radio control airplanes, the integration of the owls airfoil has been successfully achieved with the design of the Micro Owl. With such massive under chamber airfoil design, the wings act similar to flaps on an aircraft.
Owls in comparison to other raptors have large wings relative to their body mass and thicker airfoil with massive under chamber along the inner root chord ( greater and median secondary coverts), which allows them to fly unusually slowly.

With massive under camber and wing area, the owl like airfoil has high lift performance with a nonlinear lift increase due to the presence of a separation bubble on the suction side. The wing geometry of owls in particular is characterized by complex variation in parameters such as camber, twist, sweep and dihedral. ( flowstate)īirds of prey primarily control flight by pivoting and articulating the shape and direction of their wings and tail. Micro Owl offers just this, providing an ultra slow and graceful flight giving you that space between you and your body, between you and your mind. To walk a Zen path is to do everything with grace. For ease of assembly, all essential areas of the model are self-aligning and interlocking.Translating nature’s strategies into design resulting in maximum air time with slow graceful long flights. The entire model is comprised of proprietary components purpose-designed for the Libelle. Utilizing the most modern materials and foam molding techniques, we have achieved a durable, lightweight, and super smooth airframe. Libelle pilots will get out and glide faster, as many time-saving tasks have been expertly finished at our factory.

Until now, this type of experience had been out of reach for many pilots for a variety of reasons. The Libelle takes RC hand-launch glider flying to the next level, building off of the global acceptance of the Dream-Flight Alula. There are few experiences in model aviation more satisfying to the soul than flying an efficient, slow-moving glider that has been launched to soaring altitude by hand.
