The Vandal DLG, although relatively simple to build and fly, is not necessarily considered a beginner’s plane. It is recommended, that you have previous building knowledge and flying experience prior to purchasing a Vandal.

Vandal Specifications

Wing area: 340 sq. in.
Weight: 8.25-9.5 oz. AUW depending on options
Wing airfoils: Modified Drela AG45 series
Wingspan: 59 in. projected span

Wing Material-Standard Vandal wings are made of

1.7 oz Kevlar. 1 oz Kevlar (when available) may be

custom ordered for an additional charge.

Fuselage Material- Standard Vandal fuselages are

made of a hybrid carbon/aramid fabric.

The Vandal is best suited for Dymond D47

servos in the wings, however,

a 4-Channel Plane (2-Servo Wing) can be

custom ordered to accommodate

Dymond D60/or Hitec HS45

with inboard placement.

RDS

RDS stands for Rotary Drive System.

It is an internal linkage system that

replaces conventional outboard

pushrod linkages. Although not

required on Vandal Kits, it is a very popular option. If you choose RDS as an

option, RDS hardware is installed and ready to

drop in your servos (servos are not included

or installed in a Kit).
