Following the enormous success of our Vector III – now a classic, RCRCM decided to go a step further back with the Vector Mini – or to give it a buzz name MINIVEC!

Designed to have all the plus points of its dad the Vector III and none of the niggles, designer, Dr. James Hammond decided to go the whole hog and give this little whizzer a whole new look.

So what’s so special?

The two piece, fully symmetrical wings and fully flying, two piece cross tails have been curved yet retain the classic Vector look. Wings that can now take ballast, are joined by a huge, solid carbon joiner. Overkill but we're not complaining. The fuselage is softened with a larger, more curvaceous fin and tall, guppy style nose area. Basically the clean design, affordability and plain good looks make this a plane that anybody would want in their stable.

Performance?

Well for something that breaks down into a package that can easily be taken anywhere, the flight performance is simply stunning – period. Any aerobatic maneuver that is possible for a sailplane to perform is accomplished with ease, and unlike it dad, the Minivec will tumble if outrageous control movements are your bag.

This is simply an affordable bundle of fun with a cool new look that we hope will become as much of a classic as its dad.

The Minivec is supplied with all basic hardware. Falcon Gliders can also supply wing, fuse and tail bags, quality Eneloop battery packs and hardware upgrades in case you want something a little stronger than the standard parts. Brass ballast slugs are available and we now also supply wiring harnesses to speed up your build and get you in the air sooner. Want to look after your Minivec and avoid hangar rash or damage on the way to the slope? Take a look at our Plane Quiver 68" bags or Back Packs.
