KAVAN Cumul 100 2540mm - Instruction manual
Introduction
Those old glider pilots of yore used to say that really good models start with a 100“ wingspan… With our Cumul 100, you will easily find they were completely right. A high-performance thermal glider is a gem for any Sunday flyer - there is nothing like relaxed sailing on a nice summer day, circling in the thermal under white clouds; or silent soaring in the evening calm when you can sit down and relax watching your model flying almost all alone… Of course, Cumul 100 can do much more than that - thanks to its “full house” wing with ailerons and flaps you can unleash your computer radio skills: programming several flight conditions for improved penetration when seeking the thermal, or increasing the lift when you are in the thermal, or the incredibly effective butterfly brake for spot-on landings… to name just a few possibilities Cumul 100 offers. And, if you are a contest-minded pilot, Cumul 100 conforms to the rules of the international FAI F5J category as well as many of those “all-up-last-down” or “endurance” national categories.
