SAMBA XXL - Brief Technical Description:

The SAMBA XXL is based on the very successful SAMBA (UFM-10). Excellent flight characteristics have been preserved while the cockpit size has increased to accommodate tall pilots. This makes the SAMBA XXL extremely comfortable during long periods of flight.

The SAMBA XXL is a roomy two-seat, single-engine, low-wing motor glider with side by side seating. It features all-composite construction. The fuselage is made mainly of carbon laminate with composite foam sandwich construction. The wing is composite foam sandwich construction.

The wing is equipped with slotted flaps. The flap positions are 20° and 45°. The tail surfaces are conventional layout. Typical tricycle gear configuration with steerable nose wheel. The main wheels are equipped with disc brakes. The main undercarriage is a continuous laminated sprung composite lay-up. Integral fuel tanks of 13 US gallons (50 litres) each, are located in the wing leading edge.

Imported as a SLSA Glider the SambaXXL is ideal for motor glider touring, training and if fitted with a tow hook the SambaXXl can tow gliders with MTOW of 1320 (600 kilograms).

The Samba XXL is equipped with removable wingtip extensions.
