01.24.2007 >> Introducing the Focus Sport

Piedmont Models is proud to introduce the new Focus Sport, the latest in our line of pattern aircraft. The Focus Sport is a totally new design that draws its heritage from the Focus I and II designs that have enjoyed a proven record of success at all levels of competition.

The Focus Sport is a .90-1.10 size aircraft; designed to provide an entry level competition aircraft that has the flight capabilities of a true precision aerobatic aircraft with the benefit of simple to understand and maintain airframe. It is designed to use any .90-1.10 size two or four stroke engine with a muffler. The two-piece wing with wing adjusters provides the same adjustability as its larger siblings, making it a great learning tool for new pattern flyers learning the art of aircraft trimming.

The Focus Sport uses tried and true construction techniques that yields a light, yet rugged structure designed to withstand the rigors of many hours of flying and the occasional mishap. The fuselage is constructed from balsa and plywood and the wings, stab, fin and rudder are of sheeted foam construction. The ARF version is covered with an attractive scheme comprising of four colors of Ultracote® film and the fiberglass cowl, canopy hatch, and wheel pants are pre painted to match. The large canopy hatch provides easy access to the tank and radio installation and features a one-piece molded fiberglass bubble with a pre-mounted lite ply frame. The cowl is also of fiberglass construction and features a preinstalled lite ply ring for mounting.
Included in the kit are landing gear, wheel pants, wheels, tail wheel assembly, wing tube, wing adjusters, and assorted hardware. In addition, spare parts are also available.
