The NAN Models  Compass is a technologically advanced and compact glider designed for high-performance flying in the FAI GPS triangle Sport class category

Here are the notable features and details:

Wing Configuration: The carbon wing is equipped with 4 ailerons and 2 flaps, which results in a 6-servo wing setup. This allows for maximum flexibility and control over the glider airfoil, aiding in maneuverability and performance optimization.

Fuselage Design: The 2-piece fuselage is engineered with a self-aligning mechanism, simplifying the assembly process. The rudder and elevator servos are mounted on a tray in the rear boom. The stabilizer (stab) and rudder are removable via NAN’s proprietary locking system, and they are securely attached to the fuselage. This eliminates the need for tools when connecting the stabilizer or setting up linkages.

Performance-Oriented: The combination of the design, strength, and stability implies that the Compass  is intended to offer competitive soaring performance, responding well to pilot inputs and aerodynamic conditions for GPS sport class category. The emphasis on speed, climbing rate, and maneuverability suggests that the Compass  is engineered to deliver high-performance flying experiences, making it suitable for competitive flying and challenging conditions.

Specialized Categories: The mention of the GPS Triangle Sport Class competitions signifies that the Compass is tailored for specialized categories within the RC gliding community, demonstrating NAN Models attention to catering to specific needs and preferences of pilots.

Size and Transportability: The Compass has a 4.78-meter wingspan, and it’s designed with a 4-piece wing and 2-piece fuselage. This design enables easy transportation by car or airplane, making it one of the most compact GPS sport class gliders on the market.

Ballast System: The glider is designed to carry ballast in the center section of the wings. This feature allows pilots to adjust the wing loading according to their preferences or the demands of the flying conditions. There are two ballast tubes: one positioned forward of the center of gravity (CG) and another positioned aft of the CG. This provides pilots with complete control over their setup and weight distribution.

Materials and Interference-Free Design: The section of the fuselage from the trailing edge of the wing forward is constructed from fiberglass. This design choice aims to prevent any carbon interference, allowing for better reception and telemetry downlinks for equipment such as the 2.4GHz receiver and GPS telemetry systems.

Overall, the NAN Compass appears to be a glider that combines advanced technology, modular design, and careful attention to performance and ease of use. Its features make it suitable for both extreme thermal flying and competitive GPS triangle racing in the FAI Sport class category. This glider  design elements focus on providing pilots with flexibility, control, and the ability to adapt to various flying conditions and requirements.
