E-flite Divo 3D - Manual (Page 2)

2 E-flite Divo 3D Profile Assembly Manual
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the E-flite ® Divo. Designed by
champion 3D pilot, Quique Somenzini, the Divo 3D is
engineered to be as adept at slow-speed 3D as it is precision
aerobatics. The biplane design not only provides crisp roll
response, but it gives the Divo 3D superb slow flight stability
so you can fly high-alpha 3D with authority. Its carbon fiber
reinforced Depron foam construction provides the solid, precise
in-flight feel of a balsa profile plane but without the weight. This
makes it possible to fly the Divo 3D inside and excel at precision
aerobatics or outside in breezier conditions that would keep
most other profile foamies grounded.
