Lilienthal 40 RC is a free flight model which can also be equipped with two-channel radio control (rudder, elevator). The fuselage readily accepts two micro servos, receiver and battery (not included in kit). Servo tray, control horns and linkage come with the kit and make RC-conversion easy. It is possible to build the free flight version of the model first and install radio equipment later. A high start hook is also included in the kit.

Most wood parts of the kit are precisely laser-cut. The wings consist of perfectly shaped profiles and ribs. A special jig speeds up the building process. Dihedral is built-in by means of ribs with a triangular cross section. The precisely shaped leading edge profiles do not require sanding. Detailed 3D-building instructions, which are typical for aero-naut models, are easy to follow and make the Lilienthal 40 RC an ideal model for less experienced and younger modellers.

With the youth model Lilienthal 40 RC the entry into the RC model flight with a self-built flight model becomes an experience. The shapely model is a further development of the popular free-flight model Lilienthal 32, which was always able to achieve very good results in the youth competitions. With the Lilienthal 40 RC, the removal with remote control is no longer a problem. The hull offers enough space for 2 micro-servos, receiver and battery. A matching servo board, linkages and Bowdenzugrohre are the kit already included. The model can also be built as a pure free flight model and the RC components can be retrofitted at a later date. An upstart hook is also included in the kit. As used by aero-naut, all parts are laser cut exactly. The leading edge of the model is already milled in shape - no sanding is necessary here. The wing is glued together with preformed balsa parts using support ribs. The ears of the surfaces are already produced with the appropriate V-shape, which then no longer has to be ground down. With a wingspan of 1.190mm, a take-off weight of 190-220g is achieved, depending on the configuration with or without RC components. The structure of the model is accompanied by the aero-naut models known, unique and youthful construction manual in 3D style, which ensures a quick success. The model is approved and best suited for the youth competitions in the model flying associations.
