Along with the legendary Spitfire winner of the Battle of Britain, one of the most versatile ledadel II. World War II. Although it was slower than the Spitfire and a German Messerschmitt "stodevítka", thanks to flexible, robust construction and excellent stability when firing was supported by the RAF in its darkest days. The Hurricanes are linked to the names of the best Czechoslovak fighter pilot Josef Frantisek (17 kills Hurricane Mk.Ib in 28 days during the Battle of Britain) and Karla Kuttelwascher (18 victories, 15 of them at night with Hurricane Mk.IIC, making it the most successful Allied night fighter with the newly operational aircraft without radar - British to forget and colors Kuttlewascher JX-E "Night Reaper" one flies from Hurricane Battle of Britain Memorial Flight). Hurricane also fought at sea - fired from catapults to protect shipping convoys, as the Sea Hurricane flew from the decks of aircraft carriers. Proved to be a great fighter bomber and two 40 mm cannons under the wing became known as the dreaded destroyer of tanks in the deserts of North Africa ... Although the inscription on the box says otherwise, the picture is a machine version Mk.IIC (BE500) with four 20 mm Hispano British cannon in the wing, which flew Sqn. Ldr. Dennis G. Smallwood of 87 fighter squadron in 1942 - also participated in the events the night "Night Intruder" over occupied France as Karel Kuttelwascher. And that's not so simple, there are Hurricanes come with obtiskovým sheet for the third machine Fighter Squadron RAF. The differences between versions are fortunately in Hurricane rather cosmetic and internal (different hardware, different versions of Merlin, different shape exhaust ...), so without fear of challenging adjustments can start rendering your favorite piece.
Kit free-flying semiscales British fighter aircraft designed for drive by rubber. The model is simple but classic balsa construction in Rozsyp with předseknutými wooden parts, scale accessories from vacuum-molded plastic and plastic parts drawn by injection molding. The hull is constructed right minimaketářskou technology with dividers and plenty of stringers, which allow faithfully reproduce the rounded shapes of modern machines. Built in two steps - thanks to "slit" in the vertical plane stand directly on the countertop first half of the fuselage, and then the "dolepíte" half a second. Thus it is ensured that the hull complicated shapes 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.
Hurricane is also suitable for conversion to a miniature RC model with electric drive - although this construction plan of variants offer for experienced modelers and pilots would not be a big problem. For example, you can try to use the drive unit and onboard electronics of our Mini Bee.
Kit includes: předseknuté balsa parts, balsa wood beams, vacuum-molded parts (engine cover, canopy ...), plastic propeller shaft and head, rubber harness, wheels, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, paper coating, wet sheet decals, building plan.
Tip for building: Předseknuté parts NEVYLAMUJTE! Turn the cutting board, place it on a work surface and lightly sand the fine sandpaper (No. 220 or finer). Parts can then be easily separated; should still have some wood fibers "bound" to a cutting board, carefully separate the part of the pattern, using a sharp knife (suitable as Excel No.1 knife with a blade 11).
Treatment of rubber volume: a new eraser gently wash it in soapy water and allow to dry. Then lubricate it with castor oil (sold in pharmacies) or silicone grease for the lubrication of fishing line (you get the fishing tackle shops). After flying with the volume model, remove and store it in a sealed plastic bag. Lubricated rubber volume depends more smoothly and with less friction - gives more power and last longer. The new volume is also advisable to first fetch - for the first 2-3 years only to turn the 80-100 revolutions before it can safely shoot more.
