I have an arrangement to import the Multiplex/Tangent line to the U.S.. Who is Tangent? It is a long story, but one with a very happy ending due to an old friend of mine and business associate in Germany who made it possible. I think this is an opportunity to help those looking for quality German kits with good instructions, great flying qualities, and I think the prices will be very competitive. Tangent was one of Multiplex's major sub contractors for over 20 years and made the wings, and most of the Multiplex contest line. They reside in the Scwabian Alps in Southern Germany. (not CZ or China) Multiplex did not actually manufacture the kits themselves. If you notice on the web site some of the non scale Tangent gliders resemble some discontinued Multiplex planes. Tangent did not sell retail as far as I ever knew, but did jobbing work for other manufacturers. Same planes, from the same manufacturer, and improved with some new features. Tangent is also supporting past Multiplex contest line customers with parts.
http://www.tangent-modelltechnik.com/html/produkte.html All planes are in stock in Germany now. I hope to place an order soon. I will be happy to quote off line. The 6 meter Nimbus 4 features a steel round wing rod, red aluminum spoilers, pre fit rudder, hardware package, and carbon reinforcing in the wing and fuselage. A super quality kit, and a great value. The Tangent Vortex looks like a super ship with an MH 32 foil, fully flapped it should perform with a very wide speed range. Big at 166" (4.28m) Similar to the discontinued Multiplex Condor it would seem. Please email directly or call. http://www.tangent-modelltechnik.com/html/produkte.html Tangent has said that they are updating all the Multiplex kits to today's standards with better wing joiner systems and stronger airframes. PS I will put info on the Scalesoaring/EMM site soon, but not yet.
