The successor to the Prime II model we tried to group-build two years ago.  Anybody going to give this one a try?  Anybody?  Bueller?  Anybody?

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗘𝗦 𝗙𝟱𝗟 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 – 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗤 𝗯𝘆 𝗖𝗟𝗠 𝗣𝗿𝗼
 
Following the success of the Prime III series in both F3L and F5L versions, CLM Pro has taken several steps forward to develop a superior, next-generation RES model – Electric Prime Q. Representing the latest in model design from the well-known manufacturer CLM Pro, the Prime Q is engineered for peak performance in FAI RES F5L competitions.
The design and development of the Prime Q were once again led by the well-known designer Danko Prprović, who is also responsible for the previous Prime models. His expertise and innovative approach have been instrumental in shaping the Prime series into one of the most recognized and respected lines of RES competition models.
 
𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
The Prime Q is the result of years of research and intensive field testing. It was designed to be a true high-end, all-round model capable of delivering excellent performance in all weather conditions, in full compliance with the FAI RES F5L rule set.
At the heart of the Prime Q is a completely new airfoil, designated DP699 – DP771. Developed over the past three years in close collaboration with a university aerodynamic lab equipped with a wind tunnel, the airfoil is the result of exhaustive testing and optimization of multiple polar curves to find the ideal aerodynamic balance.
The model has been flight-tested across a full spectrum of conditions — from dead calm to strong winds up to 12 m/s — and has proven itself as a true competition winner. Over the past year it has been extensively tested by our Prime Team at contests across Europe, repeatedly confirming its performance with consistent podium finishes, including 1st place at the National Championship and 1st place at the Contest Eurotour in Slovakia.
 
Where the Prime Q truly excels is in its ability to respond to the smallest thermal signals. Even a tiny bubble of lift is enough – the model hooks in effortlessly and climbs smoothly. It's remarkably sensitive to thermals and practically wants to go up.
 
With the Prime Q, CLM Pro sets a new benchmark in the RES category – precision engineering, competitive performance, and thoughtful design for builders and pilots alike.
Whether you're training, competing, or simply chasing thermals on a Sunday morning, the Prime Q offers an unmatched combination of performance, handling, and build quality.

𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗤 – 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:
- High-performance all-rounder for all weather conditions
- Larger root chord and elliptical wing shape
- Bigger, perforated spoilers for enhanced braking efficiency
- Expanded wing area – 37 dm²
- New airfoil: DP699 - DP771
Designed specifically for RES class
Improved glide ratio and energy retention
Better wind penetration
- The ballast box is integrated into the wing
- Available in both X-tail and V-tail configurations
- Easier and more precise build process:
- Assembly on a laser-engraved jig
- Uses a 3 mm laser-cut plywood jig for higher precision and repeatability
- Full-size 1:1 building plans included
- Building Instruction manual in PDF or print – 110 full-color pages with photo strip guidance
 
We currently offer two versions: X-tail and V-tail.

More details: 
Prime Q kit - X tail
Prime Q kit - V tail
Both the rudder and elevator come with pre-installed carbon pins that fit directly into pre-drilled holes in the carbon tailboom, making assembly simple and secure. The carbon tailboom itself is factory-prepared with the necessary holes for mounting, ensuring accurate alignment and strong attachment of the tail surfaces.

The wing maintains an elliptical shape throughout its entire span, giving the model outstanding stability and smooth, easy handling in all flight conditions. The two wing halves are joined with precision carbon joiners, or steel joiners when ballast is needed. Pre-fitted pins ensure that all parts align perfectly during assembly.

There is a build thread on this version, in the Thermal forum.

Funny.  They are dealing with some build issues we might know about.

Yours, Greg
