NEWS, 08/10: Built Up Wing Version
Released! All parts and kits are still in stock, we are now on our 4th production run!
|
At last! After 3+ years of development
we're thrilled to release this soaring masterpiece! Long the mainstay of the Club Soaring world, the Schweizer 2-33A was
the first taste of soaring for many thousands of pilots. This beautiful 1/4 scale rendition with an advanced high performance
airfoil is designed for aero-tow or benevolent slope launching and it's wide speed range will thrill
even the most demanding soaring pilots in any kind of conditions.. turbulent air or light lift.; the Aviation Concepts SGS
2-33A will work an immense amount of sky. 
Now, you can build your own! You can get the basic Plan Sets and Color Building Manual as
well as the Fiberglass Nose Cone, Formed Canopy and Top Window Glass, Your choice of Built-Up Wing or Precision Cut Foam Wing
Cores, and a Laser Cut Wood Parts Set too! (sorry, this is NOT available as an 'ARF'.. you get to build this!)

The Plans Set and Manual
Package This is the 'heart' of any big bird building project..
and the quality starts right here. Instead of just a set of blurred copies and a 'good luck' handshake, we give you 12 sheets
of precise, detailed Original printed Plans (14 sheets with the built-up wing version!) with all full size patterns and
a complete 'bill of materials' for the entire project. The
Build is astoundingly smooth and easy.. what would have been an overwhelmingly complicated fuselage structure builds up very
quickly, flat on the board, right over the plans... (click on pictures for enlarged views)
Then we go even further... MUCH further and include an outstanding color assembly manual. Included are the Designer Scale
features and detail sheets, cockpit components and dash documentation, scale canopy latch, air speed and variometer pitots,
steps, tip wheels & skids, tow release, removable Fin/Rudder and Stab details... literally EVERY bit of info needed to
build an outstanding scale project. PLUS 50+ pages of straightforward step-by-step instructions with hundreds of color photos
detailing each step.

The Canopy Parts and the
Fiberglass Nose Yep.. we got 'em. And not just flimsy
parts that won't stand the test of time and hundreds of flights, either. We offer a beautiful molded fiberglass nose cone
as well as a spectacular vacuum molded Canopy and Top Glass set, at a reasonable price. You don't want to know the hours
that went into the custom molds for these components.. but we did it so you don't have to.

Your Choice! Custom
Cut Foam Wing Cores or a Built Up Wing! Here again, we're
breaking new ground.. who else offers a custom cut foam transitioning airfoil option for a scale 'training' glider? Nobody.
And as any good soaring pilot knows, 'The wing is the thing'. For the Optional foam wing design we chose the SD 7032 for the
center sections and from there to the tips we used a transitioning SD 7037 to provide outstanding penetration, smooth &
efficient thermal turns and an exceptional speed range to handle higher wind conditions. You won't get stuck downwind,
and your L/D will be phenomenal. For the built up version we went with the SD 7032 for the full span, providing outstanding
light and medium air thermal performance and maintaining the outer panel build strength of the foam version. Both wings provide
smooth, stable, excellent control authority in a wide range of conditions .. thermal or slope, breezy or calm and
the 4 scale spoilers are a wonder for short field work and precision landings, right at your feet.

The Custom Laser Cut Wood Parts Set Here's the key to a speedy build...
the Laser Cut Parts set.. Every piece that would take several days cutting with a precision band-saw just to get ready to
build... it's all done for you. The Built-Up Wing versions stack of laser cut ribs is most impressive! From the stabilizer
tips to the complicated formers and keel, all 185+ parts... Done. (lots more in the built-up-wing version!!) Top quality
lumber selection, aircraft ply, light ply and balsa plus a precision cut you'll be amazed at. The fit is superb.
As it should be. Add your sheet and stick wood per the manuals complete materials list and your ready to start building!

The Shipping Situation
The Kit and Cores
package is over-sized, so it ships on it's dimensions rather than it's weight. We send this via UPS to US destinations,
average cost is about $60.00. Overseas destinations will likely be significantly more. The cart system will process the order
for a kit or cores and assign a base shipping cost of $58.00 for either of those items, if shipping to your destination is
more than that we'll email you regarding the additional shipping costs and make arrangements to process your CC for the
price difference in shipping to get it to your destination. I guess we should let you know... The wing cores, plans, manual and nose cone are done here at Aviation Concepts (just downstairs and
in the same building as Hangtimes Hobbies/NoBS Batteries), we have the laser cutting and the canopy done for us to our exacting
specs by folks like Ziroli. We usually keep 5 or more complete kits on hand ready to ship immediately, so you'll normally
not have to wait "six weeks" (or months) for your kit to ship. If we experience any shipping delay longer than 2 days
after your order comes in, we will immediately notify you of the situation. We won't keep you hanging.. unless it's
already built and in a thermal. We're
certain your going to love it! Enjoy! Steve

Concepts) Spring 2009 For questions
