Wright Flyer 1, 1903 | This is a new introduction to the range, to be available Summer 2000 and, it must be said, is a very brave effort by K &W. It's a big model, spanning 96.8" (2460mm) and will weigh about 13 lbs., so will require a .60 -.90 two stroke motor or .90.120 four stroke. |

Focke Wulf FW44 | First flown in 1932, the FW44 was designed as an aerobatic and training aircraft. It has attractive, neat lines and makes a very nice subject for scale modelling. The 1/5th scale model spans 72" (1800mm) and weighs about 8 lbs. Four function R/C systems are required and a .60-.75 cu. in two stroke motor or .80-.90 four stroke |

Macchi M- 7 | ...and now for something COMPLETELY different! The Macchi M7 was the winner of the 1920 Schneider Trophy race. It first flew in 1918 and, in addition to its Schneider Trophy success, was also used as a fighter and coastal patrol aircraft. The model spans 79.6" (1990mm) and is designed for .80-.90 cu.in two stroke motors, or .90-.120 four stroke engines. |

Phonix D-III Austria | This late 1918 fighter of the Austro-Hungarian forces is one of the lesser known aircraft of WW1 and was used for coastal defence in the Adriatic area of southern Europe. The 9.51bs 1/5th scale model spans 77.2" (1960mm) and suits .46-.60 two stroke motors or .60-.80 four strokes. Available late summer this year.
