Thanks to Steven for these great pictures, Steven had an accident with his Leprechaun V2, but then he just built a new V3, here’s what he wrote 🙂
After the tragic loss of my Leprechaun V2 (my favorite glider), I built this Leprechaun V3. Pure joy !
Greg has taken over this Leprechaun XL from another customer, he has made some repairs and a starting dolly – nice work
Tony have made this beautiful Leprechaun XL and covered it with a modern Japan paper called “Vlies” and then painted it, a great piece of work!
Markus from Switzerland has made this beautiful Leprechaun XL from Dane RC, he has designed a beautiful piece of engineering with this engine setup – great respect to Markus, a very nice job!!
Here is one of Dane RC’s Leprechaun V3, which is also made as an XL version and has lights installed in it, it is an incredibly nice job that has been done, see the pictures and the video on youtube and be inspired…
Achim have made this nice Lazy Bee XL from Dane RC and have chosen to motorize it with a Saito FA 82B, and notice that he also put shock absorbers on the wheels – Nice work!!
Ralf has made this very nice Leprechaun from Dane RC, which he has also put lights in, and he flies it both as a V3 and XL version 🙂
Dane Rc is in collaboration with Tinus, the famous tow boy from DK, in the process of further developing and taking his good and proven tow plane into production, his plane has pulled up hundreds of large gliders both in Denmark and in Germany, and it has turned out that his model is really good at this job
There will be different options for engine sets for the model, as the nose can be replaced, It will fit a large electric setup or different fuel engines from 120 ccm to 250 ccm, depending on the pilot’s wishes
The product type will be electric, but the entire nose can be removed, so it can be changed to fuel if desired, we will also come up with a solution for that setup, not everyone has gone “green” yet. The setup we have chosen is a Hacker Q100-6L kv114 with a Biela 3 blade 30.5×13″, Batteries 2 or 4 x 7C 8000 mah (there is room for 4 pcs.) then 14C with 8000 or 16000 mah, depending on need, That setup provides at least 10.000 watts, enough to pull most gliders
Pictures of Tinus’ tow plane:
Dane RC has helped a customer get this UMS 5-100 up and running, we’ve cleaned it, put a new gasket kit in the carburetor and tested it with a 3 blade 20*12″ propeller, it gave approx. 5800 RPM. A 3 blade 22×12″ approx. 5400 RPM and a 3 blade 24×12″ gave approx. 5000 RPM, It goes well with all of them, but if it really has to spin then the propeller must not be too big 🙂
Dane RC is able to supply the entire program of UMS motor
