CLM Pro Prime Q RES GLIDER Kit

After the great success of the Prime III series in both F3L and F5L classes, CLM Pro has released the next step up: The Prime Q. Featuring the latest in model design from the CLM Pro and R&D once again led by the well-known designer Danko Prprović, the Prime Q is engineered for peak performance in FAI RES F3L competitions.

At the core of the Prime Q is a brand new airfoil, the DP699 – DP711 which was developed over the past three years in close collaboration with a university aerodynamic lab equipped with a wind tunnel, this airfoil is the result of exhaustive testing and optimization of multiple polar curves to find the ideal aerodynamic balance.

The model has been flight tested in a wide variety of weather from dead calm to winds approaching 30 MPH and has proven itself to be a winning design in competitions all across Europe, consistently proving its quality by achieving podium finishes. Where the Prime Q truly excels is in its ability to respond to even the weakest thermals. Even a tiny bubble of lift is enough and once hooked in, it climbs smoothly.

With the Prime Q, CLM Pro sets a new benchmark in the RES class with precision engineering, competitive performance and thoughtful design for both builder and pilot, whether you're training, competing, or simply chasing thermals for the fun of it with its unmatched combination of performance, handling, and build quality.

PRIME Q – Feature Highlights:
- High-performance all-rounder for all weather conditions
- Larger root chord and elliptical wing shape, inspired by Prime III
- Bigger, perforated spoilers for enhanced braking efficiency
- Expanded wing area – 37 dm²
- New airfoil: DP699 - DP771
- Designed specifically for RES class
- Improved glide ratio and energy retention
- Better wind penetration
- Higher launch height than Prime III
- Ballast system in fuselage (as in Prime III), but upgraded with quick-release ballast hatch. (no screws – swap in seconds)
- Available in both Cross-tail and V-tail configurations
- Easier and more precise build process:
- Assembly on a laser-engraved jig – no more Styrofoam templates
- Uses a 3 mm laser-cut plywood jig for higher precision and repeatability
- Full-size 1:1 building plans included
- Building Instruction manual in PDF: CLICK HERE FOR DOWNLOAD – 110 full-color pages with photo strip guidance
