FLYING SCALE MODELS [ PAGE 2 ]


Fokker D-V The D- V |
Was one of those WW1 fighters which, chronologically, fell between the Fokker monoplanes and the later Dr1 and D7. With sweptback upper wings and rounded vertical tail surface, it tends to look a bit like cross between the Nieuport 11 and the Fokker Eindekker. The model spans 68.9"(1750mm) and weighs in at about 9.25 lbs. Four function R/C is required and the model suits .46-.60 two stroke motors or .60-.80 four strokes.


Albatros C-1 |
The Albatros series of two seat reconnaissance aircraft were used in very large numbers by the Imperial German Air Service during WW1, performing artillery observation, bombing and photography tasks. K & M's 1/5th scale model is highly detailed. It spans 102" (2590mm), weighing 16lbs with four function RlC and .60 -.90 two stroke motor or .90-.120 four stroke.

 


Royal Aircraft Factory Be2c |
One of early British aviation's attempts to create a flying rockery, the Be2c is an aircraft full of character and should be exceptionally easy to fly with four function RlC. Spanning 88.4" (2250mm), the finished model weighs 16.5 lbs and suits .60-.70 cu. in two stroke motors or .80-.90 four strokes. Price £899.

Royal Aircraft Factory Be2c is an aircraft full of achaic character: A nice easy flier for those who like their scale models to fly real slow. K & W model features excellent details


Blackburn 1912 Type D Monoplane |
The 1912 Monoplane has always been a scale modellers' favourite and here's a chance to replicate the Shuttleworth Museum Collection's original example that still flies at their shows. It's a very nice sized model at 78" (1950mm) span and at 9.25 lbs, has a low wing loading ideal for .46-.60 two stroke motors or .60-.80 four strokes.


SPAD XIII |
Arguably the most effective French fighting scout of WW1, the SPAD XIII was the mount of many aces, including Georges Guynemer, Rene Fonk and Charles Nungesser, plus Americans Raul Lufbery, Frank Luke and Eddie Rickenbacker. K & W's model comes finished in the colours of the U.S. Expeditionary Force. It spans 68.9" (1750mm) and weights 11.5 lbs. Four function R/C gear is needed and the model suits .60.75 cu. in two strokes or .80-.90 four strokes.

SPAD XIII is an interesting alternative to the Pup, Camels, Fokker D7s etc.  Model is supplied as shown in far right picture.
