The ready to cover, high-end 4m machine!

The Alpina was first introduced in the early 1980’s,since this time its outstanding flying characteristics have made it a familiar and popular model amongst the gliding fraternity both in Germany and abroad. The design has been flown in dozens of competitions, and has indeed won many of them. In the early 90’s the Alpina Magic was added to the line, its main innovation being variable wingspan.

The model’s large size makes it easy to see in the air,and this allows the pilot to fly safely over a very wide radius. The introduction of the Alpina 4001 saw a further significant improvement in the machine ’s performance. The model ’s broad speed range makes it easy to cross large areas of poor air quickly and easily, and you do not need to fear turbulent conditions and stormy weather. Many modellers have also expressed a wish for an electric version of the Alpina 4001. Quite a number of Alpinas have been converted by individual modellers, and Multiplex staff members have also had excellent experience with their own conversions. This made them confident about producing the Alpina 4001 ELEKTRO .

Master Edition.

For many years now the Contest-line series of models has attracted the highest praise and many accolades for the quality, comprehensive kit contents, and performance of the models. We are con­stantly working on advancing the level of prefabrication, and improving the versatility of these excellent models.

Now MPX present the Master Edition, which introduces further innovations, even better pre-fabrication and yet higher performance for the top models in the Contest-line series.

All Master Edition models are supplied with the flying surfaces factory-covered, and airbrakes fitted.

New type of pre-installed control surface hinge - This eliminates forever the problematic business of attaching control surfaces, using a technique, which is effective, permanent and extremely strong.

No extra work or trimming required. This shortens assembly times considerably. It also eliminates the problem of control surfaces pushing away from the hinge line over a long period, with resultant loss in precision and efficiency.

  • Carbon cloth wing reinforcement - The carbon makes the wing significantly stiffer in bending and torsion, helping to endow the models with much more accurate flying characteristics. Winch launches can now be made with greater line tension, resulting in higher launches. With torsionally rigid wings maximum safe air­speeds are significantly higher.

  • Naturally the Contest-line Master Edition models include all the features which have always kept the Contest-line models well above the standard:

  •  Fully lined control surfaces (right to the trailing edge)

  •  Factory-installed joiner systems,

  •  Intro leading edge,

  •  Top-quality GRP fuselages with hard surface and bonded-in tailposts, factory-installed elevator bellcranks,

  • Multilock wing retainers,

  • floating wing joiners etc.

Contest-line Master Edition models offer the demanding glider pilot a range of aircraft which sets new standards in every respect!
