Alpenbrise News:

Benedikt Stockhausen, Alpenbrise flier from Germany recently had his model record a speed of 361 Kmh in a dive. The model was stressed to nearly 10g in repeated pullouts from heights of around 500 Metres. Has anybody gone faster?

Every Aeroic model comes (S) standard 100% single carbon wing, and carbon tissue surface laminated tail planes.

Light and SS (double carbon) versions are available built to order.

Models general layups information:

Light – Mostly glass fibre layup with carbon tissue wings and tailplanes with some carbon and Kevlar reinforcement.

S – Single carbon wing and fuselage with carbon tissue tailplanes, Kevlar fuselage front (2.4 GHz friendly).

SS – Double carbon wing and carbon fuselage and double ASWS with carbon tissue tailplanes, Kevlar fuselage front (2.4 GHz friendly).

Alpenbrise 157” (4M)

Alpenbrise basic information:

 Alpenbrise was designed to be a really good looking compact sized Alpine Soarer, and designed to be a possible successor to the great Alpina. The stiff, light, construction gives Alpenbrise complete freedom of the air and it will soar in the lightest of lift, while ballasted it has superb energy retention and aerobatic properties. With its own special shriek on fast passes, as the vortices are shed at the wingtips, the Alpenbrise has a real presence when flying.  As part of the original design envelope, the Alpenbrise is also eminently suitable for the Triangle GPS light class.
