FW Models' Swift S1 makes an excellent large aerobatic 1:3.3 scale sport glider with it's good all rounder characteristics. Make swooshing passes, perform graceful precision aerobatics or just thermal around even in relatively light lift. A durable carbon layup resists hangar rash, dents and dings while details such as retractable gear and optional cockpit interior appeal to scale pilots.
It can be towed aloft or powered by a Ceflix 500 EDF unit on 12S which makes for a show stopper that is sure to impress both pilot and spectators.

A bit about FW:
Frank und Waldenberger GmbH has been in existence for 25 years and is currently under the management of Pascal Heil and Matthias Paul. They bring many years of experience in model building, as well as man-carrying aircraft construction.
FW-Models attaches great importance to high-quality, everyday airplanes with the latest profiles. Most of their models are built as full carbon versions in series production and the fuselage seam is painted on all models after molding.
Manufacturing techniques range from vacuum technology, hand laminate to the production of visible carbon parts in the autoclave. They use their autoclave for maximum composite performance. They combine hobby, knowledge, passion and profession, that's what FW-Models by Pascal Heil and Matthias Paul stands for.
