Fresh 2m

The Fresh F3-RES is a highly regarded F3-RES model that flies excellently and builds comparatively quickly. The big benefits of this model are its carbon tubular spars and carbon tailboom for lighter weight, and lower fuselage drag.

The design is simple, functional and robust. The model combines a very good glide angle with excellent thermal performance and good-natured handling. Although the Fresh was designed to win F3-RES competitions it also makes an excellent sport model. The model comes with two fuselage front formers, alowing it to be built as a pure glder or an electric glider. The electric version is designed for 30 mm spinners and the max internal motor diameter is about 25 mm.

Like all the F3-RES models we sell this is a very complete builder’s kit made from top quality hand selected balsa, ply and carbon fibre tubes. The kit includes all wood, all small parts, and an excellent full scale plan.
