WASSMER-WA22

PLANEPRINT Wassmer WA-22 – fully 3d printable scale RC Glider

​

Discover the elegance of French aviation history with our highly detailed scale replica of the Wassmer WA-22 Super Javelot. The original French high-performance glider, designed in the 1960s, became famous for its distinctive lines and excellent aerodynamic efficiency. This 3D-printable model captures the essence of the classic original while bringing modern RC versatility to your flying field.

​

Key Features & Versatility

 

Scale Details: This model is a true-to-scale representation, featuring fine details like surface screws and a subtle fabric-texture imitation to replicate the original aircraft's construction.

 

Tow Release Function: Ready for traditional glider towing right out of the box.

 

Retractable EDF Option: The model is designed to accommodate a retractable 50mm EDF as an add-on. With the EDF installed, the WA-22 is fully capable of ground launches directly from grass runways.

​

Practical Carrying Device (Add-On): Transport your model safely and easily. This custom add-on allows for a highly compact pack-up, ensuring your glider is perfectly protected on the way to the airfield.

​

Aerodynamics & Flight Control

 

Outstanding Performance: Thanks to a specially optimized airfoil, the PLANEPRINT Wassmer WA-22 boasts an exceptional glide ratio and outstanding thermalling characteristics.

 

Balanced & Aerobatic: The overall flight behavior is highly balanced and remarkably easy to handle, yet agile enough to perform crisp aerobatic maneuvers (acro).

​

Smart Braking Solutions: Since the model does not feature dedicated airbrakes, energy management for landing is highly flexible: 

EDF Version: Use the extended EDF unit to create drag.

Pure Glider Version: Set up your transmitter to raise the ailerons (spoilerons) for effective approach control.
