Flitzebogen 3 is a continuation of the legendary and unique F3K competition design series produced by Aeromodelis in collaboration with the well known aero designer Benjamin Rodax. It features a completely new aerodynamic design, and a completely new structural design. Flitzebogen 3 is a result of the extensive experience of the manufacturer combined with the knowledge of high level competition pilots applied to the development of competitive F3K models.

The first test samples of Flitzebogen 3 were made in Spring of 2021 and since then 20+ selected pilots around the world have been testing and reporting their observations to the factory. After extensive testing during this time and after making some improvements to the design, Flitzebogen 3 is finally ready to be offered to the world market. Dealers of Aeromodelis will be getting new kits shortly. Information can be found also on this Facebook group created for Flitz 3 related topics: https://www.facebook.com/groups/142566951150908

What have we achieved?

• increased flight time as compared to the previous generations of the model;
• increased launch height;
• reduced ballast requirements, while also reducing the the minimum weight;
• considerably increased the travel capability; Flitz 3 will reach the desired place faster and with a minimum energy loss; you won’t have to walk off the field to retrieve your model - the model will do the traveling for you, and it will do it better than any other design on the market;
• improved thermal circling to perfection; in addition, you will also be able to taylor the circling behavior to your liking by varying the dihedral angle of the wing;
• increased portability of the model; the 2-piece wing will make your traveling to contests easier;
• reduced the final assembly operations by increasing the completeness of the kit and performing some final assembly steps at the factory; your satisfaction of the model will be higher and the number of assembly mistakes will lower - you will receive more positive emotions;
• we made Flitz 3 no more complicated than it needs to be, and just as safe as all our designs.

How have we achieved it?

Wing:

• The backbone of the new design is the wing - with thin airfoils and a moderate wing area.
• We overcame the technical challenges of the reduced wing spar thickness and a very thin flap, while combining this with a 2-piece structural layout.
• The wing has a small step on the lower surface at the root, that is matched by an indentation on the fuselage; this locks the wing to the fuselage surface and distributes the loads over a larger area.
• The aileron servos (KST X08) are installed near the center of the wing, close to the CG of the plane, and utilize the top drive pushrod system which is optimal for the competition models.
• The wing comes to you with pre-installed threaded mounting seats for the servos, pre-made slots for the aileron pushrods, pre-bent pushrods of the exact length, pre-cut slots for installing the servo connectors in the wing.
• The wing has a hard point for installing the gull shapeд launch peg, the same reliable peg that has been used on Flitzebogen models for years; it provides the best comfort during launch and has the minimum weight.
• The final assembly of the wing is extremely simple, with unambiguous installation of the servo connectors, with versatility and full compatibility of parts between any Flitzebogen 3 models, and the wing allows you to use joiners of several different angles.

Fuselage:

• Our observations indicate that the majority of pilots utilize a single cell LiPo battery for their F3K models. Based on that we provide recommendations of the optimum on-board components. The internal fuselage layout reflects these choices of components and provides the ease of installation and removal of the battery and servo wires protection, while utilizing the sufficiently powerful, compact, and reliable KST X06 servos.
• The fuselage nose has factory made cutouts for the KST X06 servos and a cutout for a single cell gumstick style battery. The nose is made of RF transparent fiberglass, with a kevlar nose cone that locks in place due to the special shape of the fuselage. There is a specially shaped saddle for the wing connector that positions the connector in a specific place at an exact angle.
• The stabilizer mount is molded together with the tailboom.
• The fuselage can be ordered either with the cutouts for the factory recommended components (KST X06 servos and a gumstick battery) or without the cutouts, for do-it-yourself customers.
• The fuselage provides ample space and the attachment points for the traditional lollipop style of ballast which is easy to make.

Tails:

• Tails are made using the traditional molding techniques, with careful selection of the foam core material.
• The spar of the vertical tail is strong enough for occasional rough landings.
• The tails have reinforcements in all the usual weak spots. The materials are tailored for each version of the model.
• Our tails have the best ratio of strength to weight on the market. The weight of complete tail sets is 8.5-10.0 grams depending on the model version.
