Having a fun hobby that offers a lot of excitement is very nice. Scale aviation has been around for many years and is getting more and more popular as time goes by. It is an expensive hobby but one that many will say is well worth it. The more experienced the controller the more opportunities there are to enter competitions. The prize money is also very generous and will give the winner an opportunity to purchase a new model.
This began over two thousand years ago with tower jumping. Flying kites began seven hundred years BC in China. Some of these were so strong and big that they were able to carry a man into the air. Bamboo copter toys and small hot air lanterns had spinning rotors that enabled them to fly into the sky.
The model is a very detailed scale of the original and is made from ultra durable EPO foam. It is painted a vibrant color and is very beautiful. The split flaps and electronic retracts make is a very functional model to fly with. To add those finishing touches simulated cockpit gauges, treaded rubber tires, air intake and exhaust pipes make it seem even more authentic. The wingspan is 1300mm with a length of 956mm. The total height of this model is 380mm and the flying weight is 1350g. The battery is not included and the one that will be needed is a 2400 mAh - 2700 mAh as well as a 6CH transmitter and receiver.
Mankind has wanted to fly from the very beginning. Men have been known to strap birdlike wings and any other device in an attempt to fly. Some have even jumped off high towers; many resulting in serious injuries as well as death. The earliest jump from a tower was in 852 AD when a man from Spain covered his body in feathers and attached wings made from wooden struts to his arms. His attempt was unsuccessful but he only received a few minor injuries as his fall was slowed.
The finish is of a realistic sheen and is very easy to maintain. The control surfaces are replicas of the original as well as the landing gear, radial cowling and multi-cylinder engine. The front doors can be opened and are located on either side of the fuselage. The radio equipment is hidden by the pilot seats but is still secure with a few simple magnets and easily located. The wing panels are secured to the fuselage with aluminum wing joiners. The horizontal stabilizers can be easily removed for loading and transport.
The engine and cockpit is armored and is able to fly for 5 hour sorties with a 30 minute fuel reserve. Its ferry range is 1600 km, which means the maximum fuel load without any passengers or cargo on board. It is able to receive and transmit video images whether they are still or not.
In order to build your own model you need to decide if you want one that will fly as well as having one with or without a remote control. Finding someone who is familiar with these can give you some much needed advice. Many of these can be found at a model shop and come fully assembled or you can build it from scratch.
Many plans can be downloaded from the internet and these will tell you which materials you will need. Most of them are made from balsa wood, foam or plastic. If it is not going to move clay or robust paper can be used. It is very important that all parts are cut to exact measurements in order for it to be balanced correctly.
