General Information

With the acrobatic glider 'Kobuz' the cooperation between CARF-Models and ceflix has already proven what it's capable of. CARF and Ceflix work together in some other areas as well, so it was no question that more statements in the model glider world were to become reality. The CARF-Models / Ceflix GP-15 JETA is such a project. The extensive experience of Ceflix in the glider technology and aerodynamics design, combined with the long standing production and world wide marketing capabilities of CARF-Models are the unique ingredients to make this GP-15 JETA an ever lasting success.

The original GP 15 E/SE JETA is the most sophisticated, multitask 15 m, electric self-launching GP GLIDER to date, designed and developed fully in-house. Its design represents natural evolution of flawless 13,5 m wingspan GP 14 VELO platform, utilizing very similar, sleek fuselages available in two sizes – REGULAR and SPORT.

• Custom design painted onto the surface
• Fuselage, wings and horizontal stabilizer painted seamless
• All small parts included in the kit

Inside...

In the fuselage is plenty of room to install whatever it needs to be. The retractabkle landing gear is already pre-installed and the position of the rudder servo is prepared as well. In the nose is enough room to fit the big batteries of the EDF engine or the engine and esc of an FES engine. If neccessary it would be possible to install a tow hook mechanism, too.

Tail Section

The horizontal stab in 'T' configuration has a split elevator, which is controlled with 2 servos mounted in the rudder post. The mounitng of the stab is done by two countersunk M6 bolts which are covered by the fin tip cover. The fin tip cover gets an M3 bolt from the rear and the front will be held in place by a magnet connecting to the front countersunk bolt. With this cover the tail gets a clean look.

Wing

With the design of the GP-15, we took new approaches and developed an airfoil (celfix0815) that not only delivers excellent gliding characteristics and performance but also embodies aerobatic qualities that were previously unseen in this class. The GP-15, with a wing area of 1,31m², is uniquely agile on the rudder, like no other scale glider, and impresses with its dynamic handling and performance in thermals. It also excels in aerobatic maneuvers, showcasing roll rates and agility similar to those of smaller models.

Engine Choice

The CARF-Models GP-15 JETA can be flown in many ways. Perfectly suited for the commercially available retractable EDFs. Breathtaking in any version, simply the BEST on the market for the thrills of flying high performance scale gliders. For basic slope soaring and aero-towing there is no engine needed. Otherwise it can a retractable electric ducted fan.

Retractable Landing Gear

The GP-15's main gear has the Ceflix typical retract system. It retracts back up into the fuselage to reduce the aerodynamic drag during the flight. Equipped with a Fema wheel it is made for landings at nearly every terrain. The 400g light landing gear is one of the strogest and most durable retracts out there and amazes with high quality craftmanship by Ceflix.

The KIT

The GP-15 JETA is offered as a plain white airplane, with black bottom wings and stab Of course it would be possible to order an individual color on the entire airplane or a 100% scale replica of a particular full size airplane. 

Accessories

We do offer various accessories for our GP-15 JETA. A complete Mac Gregor Servo SET with our CARF-Models servo arm, an EDF or ESC.

Flying Performance

The GP-15 flies perfect - extremely agile and responsive. Its roll and pitch response are crisp and precise, allowing tight, controlled maneuvers without sluggishness or twitchiness. The ailerons and elevator feel well-balanced, giving confident low‑speed handling and precise high‑speed control. In thermals the GP-15 excels: it enters climbs cleanly, stays coordinated in the core, and holds a tight circling radius with minimal pilot input. The elevator authority and rudder coupling make it easy to correct drift and maintain a stable bank angle in turbulent lift.

During transitions and penetration between thermals the model tracks straight and resists unwanted rudder movement, allowing efficient cruising at higher speeds without excessive height loss. The landing approach is predictable and forgiving. The glidepath control with flaps and spoilers is smooth, enabling precise spot landings.

Overall the GP-15 combines race-class agility with excellent soaring performance: sharp handling, strong climb rate in thermals, efficient cruising, and reliable, predictable behavior in all phases of flight.
