Alpina 4001 PRO ... the NEXT generation

...the yardstick in the 4m-Class. More than 20 years of on-going development.

Probably the most popular model glider in its class, and not without good reason. The Alpina is so manoeuvrable that you could be forgiven for thinking it was a much smaller model. This glider can be flown from relatively small slopes and offers exciting potential for aerobatics.

Now the scope of applications for this classic model aircraft has been extended yet again by the introduction of two new versions. The Carbon Master Edition has been built to withstand the most demanding flying conditions - such as those found in the Alps while the new Carbon Thermic Edition, with an effective weight reduction of some 500g offers enhanced thermal characteristics. Both versions incorporate camber changing flaps which considerably extend the flight envelope. Spot landings are made simple by the addition of air-brakes in the case of the Carbon Master Edition, while the Carbon Thermic Edition needs only ailerons and flaps deployed as butterfly.

As a result this glider can be flown from relatively small slopes and offers exciting potential for aerobatics. The use of camber-changing flaps expands the model's flight envelope considerably. The model exhibits beautifully balanced handling characteristics on aero-tow as well as on the winch.

Customer quotes:

...Its hard to imagine how this classic could have been further improved, but it has!...

...Fantastic cross-country performer...

"A genuine all purpose model that is at much at home on the slope as it is behind a tug. The flaps are very effective in thermal flight, and enable accurate spot landings when deployed as crow braking". Roger Melville, UK

"The Alpina has to be one of the best developed and longest running success stories of any model sailplane, with a top flight performance that is hard to beat." Tony Baker, UK
