| The SBXC and MXC are commercially available all-molded gliders
designed specifically for cross-country competition by RnR. This means,
all-up flying weight, including a variometer and GPS, is at or below the
FAI limit of 5kg. Both offer excellent flying characteristics and easy
handling, and are designed to optimize performance and visibility at contest
altitudes. |
 |
 |
| The MXC comes standard in a cross-tail configuration with
a full-flying horizontal stabilizer. |
The experimental V-tail version trades some handling ease
and flying stability for lighter weight. |
 |
| Both planes have long tail moments for good
tracking ability; SBXC shown. |
 |
The MXC (red) has a 14" chord at the
root, over an inch more than the SBXC (white). The deeper chord helps
visibility at high altitude. |
 |
 |
| Both planes (SBXC on the left, MXC on the
right) offer generously sized fuselages with plenty room for radio, vario,
and GPS gear. |
 |
| Likewise, both planes have ample empennages.
In the MXC, elevator and rudder servos are located in the vertical fin. |
 |
| The MXC has a 2-piece plug-in wing with simple
dihedral. |
 |
| The SBXC has a 4-piece bolt-on wing with polyhedral. |
 |
| With a V-tail , the MXC looks like a big Millennium;
hence M-XC. |
