LAMBADA 13/15
| The
Lambada UFM 13/15 is a two seater side-by-side aircraft. The airframe
is made mainly of fiberglass, with carbon reinforced spar caps,
and
a carbon kevlar cockpit inner shell. The ‘T’ tail has a fixed horizontal
stabilizer and full span elevator that is operated by a push rod.
Attached to the elevator is an electrically driven trim tab. The
rudder is operated by cables. |
|
| The
wings have ailerons and double slotted fowler flaps, both being
operated by pushrods. The left and right wings are removable, as
is the horizontal tail, but this is an easy task because they feature
self-aligning connectors for the ailerons, flaps and elevator.
The Lambada features removable wing tips that can be replaced with extended tips
to improve glide performance. As seen below: |

Rods
attached to the rudder pedals actuate the nose wheel. The
main wheels have hydraulic disc brakes and all three wheels are
fitted with spats as standard. In the cockpit, occupants have a
four-point harness, and a storm window fitted to the bubble canopy,
the seats are part of the carbon kevlar cockpit inner shell. Both
pilots have a joystick and rudder pedals and a centrally mounted,
vernier type, push-pull throttle. The instrument panel, as standard,
comes with a Microair radio and intercom; a Microair transponder
is an option. Other instruments are ASI, VSI, Altimeter, slip ball,
compass, TL Electronics engine monitor and fuel quantity gauge.
The right hand side of the panel has a ‘glove box’, which is handy
for maps, GPS, spare radio or other useful ‘in flight’ items.A
parcel shelf is behind the seat headrests. When fitted with the wing tip extensions, a Rotax 912 and feathering propeller, the Lambada 13/15 is ideal for thermalling. The aircraft is suited to teaching the basics of gliding, without the time consuming wait, and cost, of aero tows. |
