Hello Oldnrinkled, The information below was taken from the Multiplex Germany website. We should be updating our website shortly will all of the same information. Cularis - The high-performance electric glider made of ELAPOR® The EasyGlider was the fi rst step for many modellers into the world of model gliding and thermals, and now we present the logical development and next step: the Cularis. • Minimal cost • Minimal building effort • Minimal risk of breakage thanks to robust ELAPOR® foam • Four-fl ap wing: camber-changing fl aps and butterfl y (crow) / landing aid function • Optional electric power set with ample power • Broad performance spectrum, including aerobatics and thermalling • Wide speed range The Cularis can be built as a glider or electric glider. For the electric version we recommend the dedicated power set, # 33 2633. With the recommended battery this power system provides 6 to 8 climbs to around 150 m on a single charge. If you want more power, simply fi t a larger propeller (e.g. 12 x 8” or 13.5 x 7”); this gives a better rate of climb at the cost of reduced motor run times. The set also includes a glider nose cone in which an optional aero-tow coupling can be installed. The model can then be fl own as a glider and launched by aero-tow. Our MAGISTER makes a great tug for the Cularis Cularis - an ideal model for weekend and club pilots Innovative features: • The mechanical retainer system engages automatically when the wings are plugged in; at the same time the servos are connected electrically, eliminating the tedious task of connecting the wing-mounted servos. • The all-moving tailplane is also removable, with an automatic retainer system. Design features: • Two carbon wing spars for ample strength • Like the all-moving tailplane, the wings can be unlocked and removed very simply, making transport straightforward • GRP reinforcements in the fuselage and tailplane • Polycarbonate fuselage nose reinforcement • Wing-mounted servos covered by protective fairings • All the electronic components have a pre-defi ned position in the model. Kit contents: Moulded ELAPOR components CFRP and GRP spars Injection-moulded parts including motor bulkhead Small items and linkage components Decal sheet Comprehensive illustrated building instructions Specifi cation: Wingspan: 2610 mm Fuselage length: 1260 mm All-up weight: glider approx. 1400 g electric, with rec. power set approx. 1680 g Wing area (FAI): approx. 55 dm² Wing loading (FAI): approx. 27 g / dm² Functions: Elevator, rudder, aileron and butterfl y (crow) Electric version needs throttle

Mr. Salgado, Could you give us an update on the Cularis. I understand that Hitec now has the kits here in the US and plans to hold on to them until there is a "fix" for the problem with the mechanical wing retainer system. Any information that you can share with us will be appreciated. Thanks, Staggerwing1

And they should be shipping within the next 2 weeks.

I have the up dated Cularis Assembly Manual ADDENDUM IT SAID IN SHORT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. Glue the servo connectors to the wing seats and the fuselage seats. That way the connections plug in when you insert the wing in the fuselage . Parts 43 and 44 ( push tab latches) have been Modified per Multiplex Design team Be sure parts 41 & 42 (latch blocks)are pressed well down in the wing root underside and glued in. Carbon Spars, Make sure the spars do not extend to far as to not allow the latching mechanism and connectors to seat properly when the wing is inserted in the fuselage Looks to me the wings should stay on. I did note one thing so far. When putting the wing together make sure you have all the servo wiring and plugs glued in place before the cover is put on the wing. I spent about 3 hrs today test fitting all the parts re-reading instructions and getting a list of parts to finish the plane. Cermark has said the will have a spinner soon to fit the CULAIRS. I plan on using a AXI out runner 2820-10 w/ a 12-6 folding prop.

I am condifering this glider as an AP platform. Can anyone give me the dimensions of the insice of the fuselage. Particularly the area below the cockpit/windscreen area. From the pictures, this looks like it would be a good AP platform, with more room than most gliders inside the fuse. I am thinking this would be a good higher altitude AP plane with the ability to carry lots of weight and still thermal or glide with no problem. It's large wingspan should help it some with smooth, stable flying. I am no expert on this stuff, and some of what I am saying here is more "gut level" feeling, than knowledge and/or experience. If I am full of it on these points, please let me know.

Could someone tell me how the cularis is at catching thermals and how it handles. I am thinking about getting one but still not sure whether to go composite or stick with the elapor. thanks hannie

It's a sweetheart! In fact, it's so good that one of our team pilots is seriously considering flying it in the Nat's this year! Here's a real good thread about the Cularis if you want feedback: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=704134 Mike.

hannie -> RE: CULARIS SAILPLANE (5/13/2008 9:39:53 PM)
Thanks everyone for your input. i just ordered the cularis. now I have to figure what to power it with. I'm kind of leaning towards theTURNIGY motors from "hobbycity". They have one tr35-42 1100kv. They compare it to an axi 2820. Its about 60$ cheaper. I,m hoping I can run my 40amp esc. with a 12x6 prop. Do you think a 1500mah 3s1p20-30c lipo would be enough power. Thanks for your help hannie

MikeMayberry -> RE: CULARIS SAILPLANE (5/14/2008 7:45:00 PM)
That motor is smaller (35x42mm) than we recommend which is the 3522-700 Himax (35x48mm.) I'm sure it would work, but you'll have to figure out what kind of current it will pull with a 3S on a 12x6 on your own. I can't comment on the battery since I don't have enough data on the power system. Mike.
