The new slim fuse is really a step up for the Pike Precision F3G. Easier fuse servo install with separate bottom hatch and removable 3D printed servo tray. The tray is held in place with screws through the wing shoulders. Various trays will be offered for different servos. The new fuse has a 30mm diameter nose and is much more aerodynamic than the old electric fuselage. The nose is 2.4 friendly. 

Modifications to optimize the Precision 2 for the new FAI category F3G:

Slim fuselage, shorter wings and specially made for the F3G class. As F3G is gaining popularity in Europe we decided to modify our Precision 2 to improve its performance in regards to F3G.

Primarily one wants to increase an aircraft’s span to increase its performance. This actually accounts for the whole flight envelope as long as the wing loading is kept identical, but herein lies one critical point for F3G aircraft! As in F3G the available power to climb is limited, the mass of the plane should be kept as minimal as possible when one wants to climb as high as possible in the launch. The distance and speed task in particular require high wing loading in order to maximize the performance of the aircraft. Here it becomes obvious that on the one hand the lowest possible weight and on the other hand the highest possible wing loading are equally necessary.
These seemingly contradictory requirements can only be met by minimizing the wing area actually. A reasonable reduction of the wing area of the Pike precision 2 is possible by removing a part of the center of the wing and thus shortening the wingspan to the permissible minimum of 2800mm - and this is exactly what we did. This reduction in span allows us to reduce the wing area of the aircraft by just over 7%.
Hence the weight of the plane can be 7% lower to reach the former wing loading and the maximum launch altitude will increase. Although the smaller aircraft might perform slightly inferior from an aerodynamic viewpoint, the higher launch altitude will overcompensate this by far!

As a sides effect when keeping the original fuselage and tail feathers, the pitch and yaw stability factors of the plane will increase with the shorter and smaller wing. As a result this will make it easier to control the plane especially when flown in high altitudes.
For pilots who don’t plan to compete in F3G, the smaller wing clearly offers the advantage to fly the plane at high wing loading but with a ‘safer’ AUW for an easier hand launch when no helper is available on the field.

Wing joiner for standard F3G is 7,4 degrees but for asking we can deliver 6 degrees joiner

We are happy to offer you this optimized plane to facilitate your competition success and to enhance your fun on your local flying site with the Precision PRO!

Denis Duchesne, the winner of the F3G Contest Eurotour 2024, also tested the short wings. The flying and performance of the 2.8 m version was an impressive experience for him. The Precision PRO can also be very successful in F3F under certain conditions due to better agility
