New model has the pure carbon wing like Estrella. The cross section is
completely different from Estrella. |

| I
have sent some questions to Mr. Jaro Muller, the designer and maker of Elita.
(He is not need to be introduced here.) He gave me the pictures and plan
of her. Its wing is 2.85m wide, which seems to be the model for F3F. But
the change of F3B rule might be a follow wind for her. Anyway how fascinating
model she is. I am going to add her information as soon as I received. All
information I can provide now are here. |

The
fuselage shape is unique. The central portion is a ballast room.

| What
is it? |
Skeleton
is Carbon. Elita became the Vertebrate animal evolved from Crustacean,
because she has skeleton in her fuselage. |
Ballast
room locates under the airfoil. The fuselage is expanded. It may be because
of securing a ballast room. |
All
moving V-tail. V -tail can be removed , then the portability is improved. |

may be backyard of the house of Mr. Muller. There remains a little snow.
It maybe 2002 winter or before

Joe Wurts said that
"Dynamic soaring 250km/h at light wind without ballast. I am enthusiastic!
I have never had such a stronger wing before. And Elita is fantastic at
thermal duration too! Elita ; INCREDIBLE; I love Elita." |

Question |
Answer |
| Q-1) I heard that the
new constraint of winch power causes less launch power. Smaller ship like
Elita may gain advantage over conventional size model or bigger ship may
gain the advantage? |
1.) I think that less
power of winch, will be better for small ship and gain the advantage. |
| Q-2) How much displacement
will be required for full moving V-tail? In case of V-tail, ruddervater
moves only a couple of millimeter. But the elevator of the cross tail requires
more displacement. How much will it be in case of Elita? |
2.) Case of Elita,
V- tail displacement only of few millimeter. |
| Q-3) How much ballast
can be loaded? In Japan, the viscosity of air is greater than the air in
Europe. In order to get higher speed, the ballast more than 1kg is loaded
in usual. |
3.) Ballast of model
Elita:
Aluminum = 390 gr, Brass = 1170 gr |
| Q-4) I saw the LOLO
record that reached more than 300m high in Europe. It is unbelievable in
Japan. Since the winch is not different from yours, only air may be different,
though the skill also different. Why such a high recorded can be achieved
in Europe? What do you think about the principal reason? |
4.) I canīt give answer
to you, because I donīt now nothing about different air in Japan. |
| Q-5) How do you make
pure carbon wing? I saw the flying wing with honey comb carbon cross section
in JoJo's Home page. Is it the same technology? I heard that the Estrella
used flexible tube technology for making its hard wing. Are you using a
similar technology? |
5.) Carbon construction
of Elita is made with helpful wave-shaped carbon, which are sticked to upper
and to lower carbon cover of wings. This is our original technology. |
| Please don't have bad
impression such that Japanese always makes question, question, question.
I am simply asking above questions that most flies have, as a Japanese flier
who is very much interested in your innovative Elita. |
6.) Because is going
on of a new philosophy design, also of a new technology, peoples have interesting
about this. |
