As the company Jonkers announced it's new JS4, Matjaz saw a good opportunity for himself. With a light modification of the fuselage and new wings there would be a new model in his portfolio. As the original has a wingspan of 18 metres, our 1:2 scale model would have stately 9 metres!
Again, there were the usual goals for our design:
- fully autonomous self launching capability
- good flight performance
- transport friendly parts
Since we allready have some experience with building bigger fully molded models, we realized our requirements with known solutions:
- proven airfoils from Dr. Helmut Quabeck
- fuselage made from two easily joinable parts
- two part wings with separate winglets
With original's wingspan of 18 m and our 1 : 2 scale the model has the following specs:

length (overall) |
