About GROMOTEC Luftsporttechnik
GROMOTEC Luftsporttechnik is a sole proprietorship based in Wölfersheim that has been distributing large-scale flying models for aerotowing, gliding and jets as well as high-quality accessories since 2002. The needs of competition flyers are given the same priority as the demands of rugged club operations. All GROMOTEC models were developed in-house and have gone through a multi-year testing phase with several prototypes; the components are partly manufactured in elaborate moulds (Made in Germany). The landing gears of the Profiline series are made of aluminium using laser cutting, while canopies and cabin hoods are deep-drawn from PETG/Vivak. The accessory range includes, among other things, retractable landing gears, landing gear legs, hinges, cabin hoods, wheel brakes as well as cable and fastening materials. Beyond model building, GROMOTEC is also a supplier of accessories in motorsport and commercial drone manufacturing. A high stock level with availability display and solid logistics enable fast deliveries and a secured spare parts supply.
