Pike Perfection F3J/F5J
Pike Perfection models and spare parts can still be ordered. Please contact us for delivery time and more information.
After careful tweaking on the Pike Perfect and getting input of what is needed we have gone a path that has been tested and proven.
We released the Pike Precision with 2 piece wing and already it shows that we know how to build strong and light with that concept. The airfoil of the new model is a variation of what all know from the Perfect and the Perfect ET so you can be sure that all conditions are covered but with even more consideration on what is needed to do low altitude soaring after very short launches.
So what is the benefit of the new Pike Perfection?
The new planform ensures even better penetration and tighter circles than ever.
A new tail ensures extreme power in the elevator with even harder pings off launch and precise turnovers to hit those vital landing points. Lower positioned nose helps in the landings.
New shape and airfoils of the tail together with better cross section of the fuse ensures both better strength and lower drag and better penetration.
Fuses and wings are lighter because of the new planform but also new materials in the skin ensures that weight is coming down and centers in the model. This ensures improved circling and especially at low speeds. Tail parts is 1/2 compared to Perfect. Together with ailerons to the end of the tip you get an even more agile model.
Molds are completely new and we can now use building techniques that was not possible with the old molds. This ensures not only lighter and stronger parts but also better finish. Stiffness and resistance of parts is stronger thanks to new materials and high pressure production technology. Wing, fuselage, rudder and elevator are full carbon for all versions.
The following carbon materials is used in parts:
SPAR - highmodulus carbon roving Tenax UMS 40
WING - carbon fabric 68 g/m2
- carbon fabric 80 g/m2
- spread tow carbon fabricn Textreme 76 PW M30 SC
- spread tow 40 g/m2
FUSELAGE - highmodulus fiber Toray M 40J (2.4 friendly front section)
Weights for single carbon versions start on 1770g for SL version and up to +/-2000g.
Extreme version will be around 2200-2300g.
Ballast is located only in the wing with 2x24cm pieces of 16mm diameter = 820g.
- SSL for dead air 1560-1660 g (depending on equipment) without any guarantee
- for stiffness, no claims accepted (9 g servos MKS 6100 for ailerons and fuselage)
- SL can be used for wind up to <4 m/s AUW 1750-1800 g
- LS can be used for wind up to <6 m/s AUW 1850-1900 g
- C 68 can be used for wind up to <6-10 m/s AUW 1980 - 2050 g
- ST 76 can be used for wind <10-12 m/s 1980 - 2050 g
- Extreme double carbon ST 76 / c 55 with 120% spar 2140 g
- NEW we make special F5J version AUW from 1300 g - 2000 g.
- 1300g if you use light equipment (FAI type light equipment). This version is for F5J only.
- Color design and rohacell/herex have impact on weight and reason for difference in weights.
