INTRODUCTION
If You love speed ?…..
If You love the futuristic design ….
Then This jet is for you.
Diamond is the new generation of futuristic sport jet from Aviation Design. Just created from the Eric
RANTET imagination, it is a combination of Star Wars, Flash Gordon, and the 1950,s first jets from
French Leduc and Russian jet and the Gee Bee racers
With a futuristic/ old design, Diamond features stunning shapes and flies like a space ship.
Designed for high speed, the Diamond can also fly very slow due to his studied aerodynamics and large
landing flaps.
Diamond has been entirely CAD designed with Catia software and all toolings are CNC machined on
our large 5 axis milling centre.
Diamond is of course fully composite and moulded in our new CZ factory. It is delivered in ARF
version, pre-built and painted in the Mold with art work fitted.
The landing gear is made by Behotec and uses trailing link legs for the best performance on any kind of
runway.
Diamond is designed for 16 to 22 kg thrust turbine. A light turbine is required to easily obtain the
centre of gravity due to the rear engine position. The radio batteries and turbine battery are located in
the nose .
Diamond has the ability to be fully dismantled for an easy transportation.
The fuselage length is just 2.00 m and the nose is removable for batteries access.
A sidewall engine hatch allows engine operation, the tailpipe is factory installed.
The main gears are screwed in the wings and the wing tip tanks are removable
The fin and the 2 stabs are also removable for transportation.
All necessary hardware are included in the parcel.
Assembly require only few hours to fit engine and radio.
Diamond ARF includes :
-High quality epoxy-glass fuselage painted.
-All plywood and wood parts premounted.
-Fully molded wings, stabs and fin painted
-2 High tensile aluminum wing joining tube.
-Access hatch and canopy requiring no additional framework.
-All hardware (screws, servo cover, ...)
-Instructions in English with pics.
-Stainless steel tailpipe already installed.
