Douglas Skyraider was at the very end of the II. World War II as a result of competition in the multi-purpose board bomber and torpedo aircraft, which had a much higher level to replace the existing Dauntless dive-a Helldiver and Avenger torpedo. A replacement it was hilarious in all - without load had Skyraider speed and dexterity approaching fighters, yet he was able to carry the incredibly huge load of bombs and missiles. There was a special anti-submarine version, version with large early warning radar, even transportation design allowing aboard aircraft carriers transport up to 14 passengers ... On the decks of aircraft carriers from the U.S. Navy land-based Marine Skyraiders served "to tear flesh" during the Korean and Vietnam wars - in fact, until the advent of jet combat version of the Corsair II and multi Intruder during the 60th years for them not to pay the U.S. Navy.
Kit free-flying semiscales U.S. Navy bomber and fighter plane 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. Given that it is a very small - albeit simple - model, you should already have prior experience with classical building and test-flying models powered by rubber.
Fuselage structure consists of a pair of sidewalls connected předseknutých balsa wood balsa bulkheads supplemented shaped bulkheads and stringers allowing curves depict the actual machine. The wing is a classic design of ribs and beams, tail board are glued beams of balsa wood.
Skyraider is also suitable for conversion to a miniature RC model with electric drive - although this construction plan variantuu 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 (front engine cover, canopy), a plastic propeller shaft and head, rubber volume, Machine cut Balsa wheels, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, lining paper sheet wet 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.
