OVERVIEW:

This blend of thermal soarer and hotliner is bound to turn some heads at the local flying field.
Designed for quick and easy construction printed in PLA. Designed to suit the 2836 1500kv
outrunner on an 8x4 folding propeller. Utilising ailerons and a V-tail rudder/elevator, this
model flies like it is on rails. With an extremely thin wing profile and sleek fuselage, the
Tracer 2000 has a fantastic glide ratio and penetrates strong wings easily. Links to
components used can be found on the last page of the user guide.

This model has taken many hours of hard work and testing in order to provide a nice flying
aircraft. Please do not share it. Please show your appreciation by directing interested parties
