The Impression,
The high-tech hot-liner which is not just for the expert. Whether you need a slope racer, an electric glider or a hot-line machine, this is the model for you. The Impression features a carefully optimized aerodynamic layout, affording the model a very broad effective speed range, and even at quite high wing loadings the Impression offers smooth, docile handling at low speeds. At the slope the model can be thrown around without inhibition, provided that the right amount of lead ballast is fitted for the conditions. The thermal hunters among you will appreciate the model's good gliding characteristics when leaving one thermal bubble and looking for the next. Whether you prefer gentle electric gliding with 10 NC cells, or exciting high-speed flying with 12-16 NC cells, the Impression always gives you maximum possible flying pleasure. 

The wing features a competition-proven wing section designed by Hannes Delago which provides a great excess of performance for effortless aerobatics, while the relatively long moment arm keeps the maneuvers smooth. The model's sleek, impressive appearance makes it look fast even when it is nestling in the grass.

The design
The model reflects its origins in CAD design techniques, and is manufactured using the latest production technology; for example, the wings are bonded under pressure in CNC machined metal moulds, ensuring that the wing airfoil is maintained with great fidelity. After this the final processes on the wing are completed using a CNC machining robot. The aileron slots are machine-cut and pre-lined, and the ailerons permanently attached to the wing by a woven fabric insert acting as the hinge. The white pigmented GRP fuselage features integral cooling shrouds, M5 threaded sockets for wing retention, and a neat support for the profile-machined tailplane. A CFRP canopy rounds off this highly refined model.
