Structural Components

We at CARF-Models do like new challenges! And that's why we were really interested in this project. In cooperation with ZN-Line and Stephane Carrier - who designed the Integral - we cared completely of the inner structure. Always watching the 5 kg weight limit, we decided it should still be posible to offer our customers the comfort of a two-piece wing. We were right, it was possible, but definitly not easy. That's why we had to find out new ways to produce this high-end, premium class competition model of the newest generation.
	The first unusual thing is the use of hand-selected balsawood for the fuselage. It's definitly the lightest balsawood you can get, worldwide. The strict selection process guarantees keeping the weight in small tolerance fields. Combined with kevlar and carbonfibre, it makes the fuselage amazingly stiff – how it is necessary for a modern F3A competition model. Our foam stiffener plate adds additional strength at almost no weight.
The wings are made from lightest fibreglass, stiffened by Herex. Of course, the ailerons are skin-hinged to keep the weight down. The carbon-reinforced spar avoids any movement in flight and lets your Integral track perfectly. We are using a state-of-the-art, thickened trailing edge to make the plane fly very smooth and stopping snaps perfectly. Because of keeping the aileron servos close to the fuselage, the moving masses are small and there is absolutely no tendency to overturn a spin etc. The wing dowels are already aligned with greatest precision at our company. Adjusting wings and stabs hours and hours after receiving your kit was yesterday!
	All the linkage accessories are included, but not already glued in. This gives you the freedom of choice, if you want to go with you own parts. If you are fine with the included parts (and they work really good!), you don't have to spend 100s of Dollars to complete the kit, as it usually is the case with most of our competitor's kits.
