 Brand new and awesome performance! The new Filip RG has a new wing for the maximum in
speed and efficiency with enhanced aerobatic abilities. We have taken the Filip Slope
(originally modified by NSP) and designed the next generation Filip! The new wing sports
the very fast RG-14 airfoil (with a few modifications by yours truly). The wing planform
now sports a triple tapered wing design that increases the overall efficiency of the wing.
The special taper also gives a noticeably faster roll rate. The results are a new level of
performance! The Filip RG will fly faster, with quicker response and much more efficiency.
Head to head the new Filip RG will blow by the older Filip E (the
older Filip slope is also sometimes called the Filip 400 Sport, or Highlander)
Of course like the Filip Slope the Filip 400RG is uses the same fuselage and tails and
is a full ARF! For the flier who doesn’t want to build and wants to have the best in
a versatile Slope ship, the Filip RG, this is the way to go!
The Filip RG has a painted (gel-coated) fiberglass fuselage with contrasting canopy.
The typical color scheme is yellow fuse with wings with yellow tops and red bottoms and
ailerons. The wings are foam reinforced with carbon fiber (this is a unique and exclusive
feature of the Filip RG), then sheeted with Obeechi and covered with Oracover. The wing is
completely finished and is ready for servo installation. The ailerons are precut and
beveled and servo bays are cut with the wire holes ready. The wing is finished in in
Oracover so very little is left to the modeler. The wing is beautifully built and light in
weight, utilizing the RG14 airfoil modified for optimum performance. The prebuilt V-tails
are covered with matching Oracover and the elevators are also finished and covered ready
for hinging. Just glue together the two V-tail halves and you’re ready to go. All you
do to complete the kit is to hinge the wing and tails,mount them to the fuselage, set up
and install the radio system. This is a very high quality sailplane and a very well
behaved flier. We at NSP make sure you get a complete set of hardware as well as a set of
illustrated instructions. One of the great features of the Filip RG is the two-piece wing.
The wings come with a wingrod - so you are able to set the Filip RG wing for easy
break-down for storage and transportation. All hardware is provided to do this and it's
easily accomplished with a few modifications. The V-tail is mounted on the tail in a
molded saddle on the fuselage and can also be made removable.
The airfoil used on the Filip RG is the RG14. It provides a noticeable increase in
speed and acceleration with great handling. Using three servos (two in the wing) gives the
Filip RG more precise, crisp aileron control, the ability to use the ailerons as
spoilerons. You can also use 4 servos, two for the ailerons and two for the ruddervators.
With active ruddervators the pilot will have more precise control in thermal lift. There
is plenty of room in the fuselage to run the two ruddervator servos side by side.
Beauty, performance, and versatility make this a must-have plane for the electric
sailplane enthusiast. This is a clean sailplane and will fly in an amazing variety of
conditions. Due to the clean design of the Filip RG it becomes a pocket rocket able to do
some amazing maneuvers and will fly in wind with ease. This glider is designed for a wide
range of flying conditions. It is very easy for the intermediate to fly, and will delight
you with its smooth flying and handling characteristics.
We suggest using the Hitec Electron 6 Receiver and HS-81's or HS-85BB for the
ailerons. For the elevator we suggest using one HS-85BB or
MX-50HP. If using two servos for Ruddervators use the MX-50 or the CS-4.9 servos. Best
transmitters to use are the Airtronics RD-8000 or the Hitec Eclipse 7.
Now for the even better news! The price is simply amazing! This is a beautifully made
and executed sailplane with flying performance faster than the Filip E and faster than any
other Hotliner of its type and size!
What's even better is that the Filip RG is an ARF! For the slope flier who doesn’t
want to build and wants to have the best in a versatile slope ship, the Filip RG, this is
the way to go!
Recommended Radio Equipment
For receivers we suggest using either the Hitec Electron 6
, or the Hitec
Superslim. These are small and light and are very good dual conversion receivers. All
receivers include crystals. When ordering, please specify type of radio you are using and
channel number.
Fro servos we recommend using the Hitec HS85MG or
the Hitec HS85BB.
These are very accurate and powerful micro receivers and are an attractive value. For the
value conscious the HS-81 is a good adequate servo
For radios we would suggest the Hitec Eclipse 7, The Airtronics
RD-8000 or the New Multiplex Royal Evo!
