 The newest member of our Tragi family, T801X "Cluster", is a high performance F3J thermal duration glider. It has been designed to achieve minimal sinking rate and maximum gliding rate at a remarkably wide range of speeds whilst keeping a low wing loading.
The design of the 801X "Cluster" took off from the feedback and experience from competition pilots from many different countries. This information was then combined with full utilisation of state-of-the-art computer modelling and simulation. We have used up-to-date materials and technologies to produce this solid and stiff plane at a minimal weight. (full carbon version flies at 1960 gm) 
The wings of the 801X "Cluster" have a set of six new optimised HX 29 airfoils. As a special design feature, the airfoil has a wide peak, making it efficient at a wide range of speeds. The wing load of 26-27 gr/dm2, stall proof geometry, HX 29 airfoil and the efficient rudder makes the plane indicate thermals very clearly and execute slow flat thermal turns really well. The flaps are really effective for the launch with a small deflection and landings are superbly controlled.

As proven during testing, it is a light, fast-launching, well-orbiting and thermal sensitive plane. In short - the top performance of this plane has been successfully combined with the utmost user friendliness.
The Tragi 801X "Cluster" is offered as a complete set, containing all the necessary prefabricated parts including ballast and wiring loom. Radio equipment must be obtained separately. Testing the Cluster

All the planes in the test have different servos, receivers and batteries. Despite that, all weights are well below 2 kg. The servo plate in the fuselage makes the plane fit for different user preferences and servos.

As pilots have described, testing the planes at 8-10 m/sec wind with full ballast on board and handling the planes without mercy, no structural damage to the plane was caused, though a number of cut winch lines were reported.
