Yellow Jacket 2M Competition GS-F5 Electric

Description

The Competition GS Wing has a new planform as its more elliptical, lower EDA, with longer mid and short tip panels.  It also features a lower only trailing edge that is scalloped.  It also has more wing area than the standard and lite wings.  The V-Tail is offered with this wing as it provides the banking angles that result in low side slip drag.  The V-Tail is mounted on CF pegs and the boom comes pre drilled.

Note: The GS V Tail now comes with airfoil V Tails that build in a fixture.  The new tails are very efficient, they are lighter and allow the CG to move approximately 1/4″ further back than the original design.

This is the lightest 2M offered and has the least amount of drag.  It also builds the fastest and it has proven itself to be very strong.
