Spad XIII 889mm laser. carved

SPAD S.XIII was in 1917, the French answer to the advent of powerful fighter aircraft such as the Fokker D VII or Sopwith Camel. SPAD was faster, had at that time strong armament two synchronized machine guns and thanks to solid ground embark upon longer a dive, which would need trojplošným Fokkerům Dr.I number of wings began to shrink rapidly. On the other hand, was less adroit (especially at low speeds) and was renowned ease the transition into a sharp tailspin when you drag. SPAD S.XIII flew to the best French aces as Georges Guynemer and Rene Fonck, Italian Francesco Baracca and armor were also the American squads. Now the US 94th Squadron machine (known under the nickname "Hat-in-the-Ring" as a symbol hat in the ring) with the now half-forgotten American cockade can build our kit. With so Eddie Rickenbacker shot down 20 German aircraft and tethered balloons.

Designers of American companies DUMAS Aircraft is the ideal machine for modelers who already has at least basic experience in building small models powered by rubber or piloting gliders and RC model controlled rudder and elevator. You will improve in the building "žbrdličkové" skeleton of the fuselage and wings, paper coating and painting - it's due to highly preprocessed laser-carved works like clockwork.

RC kit semiscales French fighter biplane designed for electric propulsion. The model is simple but classic balsa structure in Rozsyp with laser carved wooden parts, scale accessories made of vacuum-molded plastic parts drawn by plastic injection molding and metal. The hull is constructed of conventional technologies minimaketářskou sides of balsa wood glued beams that connect polopřepážkami and bars in the lattice frame. The resulting shapes get stuck after several additional stringers. Wings is a classic design from the spars and ribs, tail out of balsa wood strips and laser-carved parts. Minor "tweaks" is the production of wing tips of balsa wood strips laminated wet. You get so easily surprisingly strong and lightweight parts - without the use of carbon! Drawings necessary templates again refer to the instructions. The whole model can drag the paper supplied in the kit or a suitable lightweight iron sheets with little shrinkage, such as Airspan or Litespan.

SPAD is designed to drive the DC motor series "280" with the gearbox, which is drawn on the plan. Nowadays probably choose small AC motor - in this case you will have to redesign the motor mount (insert new motor mount from 2 mm birch plywood), but it should not pose a serious problem. For realistic flying just park the fighter class motor AXI 2212 and Li-poly two cells 1100 to 1300 mAh. "Namotorování" We recommend overdoing it - it's a park-flyer, not a rocket.

Kit includes: laser carved balsa parts, balsa wood beams, vacuum-molded parts (bonnet, wheels ...), clear plastic film to the windscreen, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, colored lining paper sheet of stickers, construction plan.
