Z II is born!
The new injection molded EPOR Z II is finally here ,after 2 1/2 years of tweaking this
beast she is finally making an apearance.She has the wing area of the older Z 60 in a 54 WS
770 SQ inches of wing area makes her a monster little wing.
She now will launch and land much easier than the past versions.
The goal was to adress the troubled low speed launch and landing issues without
compromising the other end of the spectrum.
I have listened for the last few years to all the Zeph owners.
 Zeph is designed as a performance workhorse for FPV UAV and AP.

I have also seen the Zephs used for nite flying and sport flying, why not it flys great!



The Z II has a new streamlined center section to house even more gear,
and as an option the new  cnc laser cut Go Pro Camera box can be easily
integrared into the blunt setion with ease.

The wings are molded to fit standard size servos and up two 4s 4000 mahr
but have seen some 5s packs fit and some brands of 5000 mahr too,
  2 ,4s 3300  in paralel seem to be the norm.

The new EPOR foam type has a little less durability than the previous epp ,but the build can be
done without the super involved build process that was required with the weave over EPP.
Epp is a durable flimsy foam and needs the sparring to be done rite and the weave and lam
 to make it stiff.

I am having the EPOR Z II MFG slightly little higher density than the EPP was to help with
its deficiency in durability. This is done with no ill effect due to the fact that EPP
is usually done allot heavier just to get it stiff true and durable ,this takes alot more added
weight than the density I am adding to EPOR by making it slightly more dense than the recently
used EPP.

    EPORE is much more stiff and smooth so you can be lighter more rigid and a much nice
r easy finish. This will make launches easier ,so it now doesn't need survive a bunch
of rough launches.
Landing speeds will be 1/2 of what they were on the EPP versions ,
so not as much damages when landing hot now,plus your aproahces and launches
can be in much tighter areas.

  With the pre cut bays you will have a much easier time building now appx 1/3 the time as before.
I built two in a 3 day period without breaking a sweat.

CG at 9''3/8 to 9'1/2
770 sq" wing area
WS  56''










If you are looking for a larger wing span than the Z I the 82" zeph is avail ,
with the blunt mod it is coming out to approximately 90".
The reason for the blunt section is for the need to mount equipment on the leading edge.
This allows for an unobstructed view and ease of mounting.

The Zephyr has been used by universities,  high schools and tech schools.
A few other uses of the  Zephyr include search and rescue, land surveying, off road car
racing videos, scenic photo, ocean sport fish tracking and locating , even cattle herding
and power line inspections.
A few recent Zephyrs have being utilized as test platforms including avionics and atmospheric testing equipment.
