 Well we have found a way to improve on the Omegas and so we are introducing our
exclusive line of Omega II's! This new superior design by the folks that designed the
Orions comes the new Omega II 1.8M Electric!! We have managed to improve the
performance, structure and ease of building in this new improved design! The Omega II 1.8M
Electric was made and designed in Bulgaria by a group of experienced modelers that have
researched and designed one of the nicest electric sailplanes available in Europe.
Combining a composite Kevlar and Carbon Fiber fuselage and the best technology of free
flight wings we get a sailplane that is beautifully built and flies as good as it looks.
This aileron sailplane has a two piece breakdown wing and is supplied with a removable
V-tail ruddervators. The Omega II 1.8M E has been designed to fly at the lightest possible
weight without sacrificing strength.
The kit is almost ready to fly and comes with a lightweight, yet strong Carbon/Kevlar
fuse, with wing and tail holddowns installed. The canopy is of the same high strength
material. The real beauty is in the wing and tail construction. Free flight building and
experience is evident in the Omega and it is obvious the designer knows how to make a very
strong and light structure. They are also able to build an undercambered wing with
accuracy rivaling a molded wing. The molded carbon D-box is handlaid onto pre-shaped foam.
This D-form is pressed with a layer of carbon into a female CNC machined mold. This gives
a very stiff and accurate leading edge for perfect airfoil shape at the leading edge, the
most important part for the wing.. The rear of this D-box is faced with some light balsa
shear webbing. The trailing edge of the Omega is also molded with the same method using a
combination of carbonfiber, fiberglass, and foam to give the lightest, strongest, and
sharpest TE we have ever seen!. Root and transition ribs are made of balsa/carbon
sandwich. The whole wing has an elliptical curved leading edge and looks just beautiful.
Better than that it was designed as an improvement both in construction and performance
over the the original Omega 1.8. The tails are of the same manufacture as the wings and
are bolt on for ease of assembly and transport. The wings and tails use an imbedded Kevlar
hinge line (this is done in the molding process) so you do not need any hinge tape! These
hinges will last the life of the aircraft and they also seal the gap for excellent control
and low drag. The hinges allow full 90 degrees for flap/flapperons! The wing is made with
a built in servo bay and is supplied with servo fairings (another improvement).
The Omega II 1.8 E is faster and more efficient with much better handling than the
original Omegas. The MH 32 airfoil is clearly superior to the SD 7055 with both a much
wider speed range and better lift at slow speed resulting in a lowered sinkrate, improved
glide and better thermaling ability.. With the full span ailerons the pilot is able to use
the whole trailing edge to both vary camber for a variety of lift and wind conditions, as
well as change the camber while thermalling to achieve the best climb rate possible. Full
span aileron/ flapperons/spoilerons are much more effective for control on landing
allowing the pilot to fly from a small field.
As with all the Omega II''s, all that is left to the builder is to install the motor
system, radio equipment and linkages. The Omega Ii 1.8 E is great for the traveler; the
wings are two pieces with a wingrod and are attached with two nylon bolts and the tail
with one bolt and locating pin. This allows the Omega II 1.8 E to breakdown to a small
package for travel. The Omega II E can take a normal sized receiver but we recommend a
small micro receiver such as the Electron 6 or the Berg 7 channel and sub micro servos
such as the Hitec HS-55, HS-56B, HS65B, MX52, or the S75 servos. This equipment will keep
the weight to a minimum and performance to the max.
The MH 32 airfoil, low weight, accurate section and good choice of planform result in
an electric sailplane that is simply outstanding. The low inertial weight of the wing
reacts to the lightest lift and small control inputs. At a flying weight of 20-25 oz,
it’s an outstanding performer. Handling is what you would expect, it shows you the
lightest thermal and drives into it by itself. The Omega Ii 1.8E is strong for moderate
aerobatics and can move upwind with ease due to the efficient planform and airfoil
combination.
The wing is very stiff yet light and is covered with Oracover. The Leading and Trailing
edges are painted for better visibility. Given this type of construction, we have found
the Omega II 1.8 E to have the best workmanship we have seen to date.
