This aircraft was especially developed for the new F3A schedules mid of the 80ies. Very low weight and large wing area provide excellent and smooth flying behaviour.
At his time the Matador was the only aircraft with the largest wingspan and the lowest weight in the world.
Features: semi integrated tune pipe, one piece wing. I published an detailled report of the balsa foam technology in the german model magazine 1/1989.
