Grumman TBF Avenger was the backbone of Naval Air Force bomber and torpedo the US Navy. Although the combat debut in the summer of 1942 did not fare best, and of the six machines sent from Midway against the Japanese fleet returned only one, the strengthening protection of increasingly powerful naval fighters Avenger excelled as torpedo attacks on the ship, as bombers supporting units ashore on the islands of the Pacific and a submarine with depth charges.
Designers freely flying semiscales American torpedo planes designed to drive by rubber. The model is simple but classic balsa structure in Rozsyp with předseknutými wooden parts, scale accessories made of vacuum-molded plastic parts and plastic drawn by injection molding. The hull is constructed right minimaketářskou technology with dividers and plenty of stringers, which allow to faithfully reproduce the rounded shapes of modern machines. Built in two stages - thanks to "split" in the vertical plane stand directly on the countertop first half of the fuselage, and then to her "dolepíte" second half. This ensures that even complicated shapes hull stand straight and symmetrical, without needing any special preparations. Given that it is a very small - even relatively simple - a model, you should already have prior experience with classical building and test-flying models powered by rubber.
Avenger is also suitable for conversion to a miniature RC model with electric drive - although the construction plan of variants of this offer, for an experienced modeller, and the pilot would not be a big problem. For example, you can try to use the drive unit, and cabin electronics from our Mini Bee.
Kit contains: balsa předseknuté parts, balsa wood beams, vacuum-molded parts (engine cover, canopy ...), plastic propeller shaft and head, rubber volume, bicycles, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, lining paper sheet wet decals, construction plan. < / P>
Tip for construction: Předseknuté parts NEVYLAMUJTE! Turn the plank, place it on a work surface and lightly sand the fine sandpaper (no. 220 or finer). The parts can then be easily separated; if they still have some wood fibers "tied" to a cutting board, carefully separate the part of the pattern, using a sharp knife (suitable eg. Excel No.1 knife with a blade No.11).
Treatment of rubber harness: The new rubber carefully wash it in soapy water and allow to dry. Then, lubricate it with castor oil (sold in pharmacies) or silicone grease to lubricate fishing lines (available in most stores fishing equipment). After flying harness with the model, remove and store it in a sealed plastic bag. Lubricated rubber volume unfolds smoothly and with less friction - provides more power and last longer. The new bundle is also advisable to first fetch - for the first 2-3 years to film only 80-100 rpm, only then can safely shoot more.
