Other
scale details include an
aluminium dome spinner,
dummy radial engine, painted
nose art on the cowling and the inclusion of a three-blade (scale) and
two-bladed propellers (the
two-blader propeller giving
more thrust).

Powered by
a powerful 480 size brushless outrunner motor,
the model has “very spirited
warbird performance, rolls
loops and high speed beatups
can be performed with
ease and with the 11.1volt
1800Mah Li-Po battery provides flight
duration of over 10 minutes”.

The model comes with fixed
landing gear with a steerable
tail-wheel for positive ground
handling. The landing gear
can be easily removed
and optional landing
skids are included so the
model can be belly-landed safely
on the ground while minimising
the risk of damage to the
underside.

battery and radio bay is via the large removable
top hatch that is held
in place with dowels and
