Small, lightweight and highly maneuverable, it offered goodupward visibility and lacked the traditional bracing wires that could be shot awayduring combat. This combination of features made it an outstanding plane in adogfight. Also Manfred von Richthofen preferred to use the Fokker Dr. I.

Fokker D. VIII Electric ARF

Semi Scale reproduction of the famous WW-1 fighter. The D.VIII had a uniquecantilever wing that was mounted atop a cabane above the fuselage and did notneed any strut support thanks to a rigid, plywood-covered structure. In spite of thisseemingly outdated configuration the D.VIII shined with outstandingmaneuverability as well as above average take off and climb performance. Due toproduction troubles the type went into service toward the end of the war with onlya few samples actually delivered to combat units. The fighter was powered with a110 HP Oberursel U II 9-cylinder rotary engine enabling a 204 kph (127 mph)maximum speed. Service ceiling reached 6,000 meters and the tank capacity wasgood for 1-1/2 hours of flight.

Focke-Wulf FW 56 "Stösser" Electric ARF

Focke-Wulf did not produce any notable aircraft designs in their first seven years ofbusiness. But in 1931 with the merger of Albatros-Flugzeugwerke and arrival ofKurt Tank aircraft development improved. Kurt Tank would become one of theworld's leading aeronautical engineers. The FW 56 was the first aircraft for whichKurt Tank had full responsibility and Focke-Wulf's first single-engine monoplane. Itwas developed as a small home-defense fighter but its primary role was as anadvanced fighter trainer. The FW 56 had good flight characteristics and was thefirst German plane to be used to demonstrate dive-bombing. About 1,000 had beenproduced by 1940. It was nicknamed "Falke" (falcon).

Sopwith Triplane Electric ARF

Used in combat by the British Royal Naval Air Service, this innovative three wingdesign gave the Sopwith Triplane increased maneuverability and climb rate, ascompared to the biplanes. Visibility from the cockpit was outstanding but theSopwith was slower and less heavily armed than its German opponents. TheGermans were impressed with its performance and a captured Sopwith Triplaneinspired the development of the Fokker Dr.I.

De Havilland/AIRCO DH-2 Electric ARF

The DH-2 was Geoffrey de Havilland's second design for the British AircraftManufacturing Company (AIRCO). DH-2s proved to be effective in combat againstearly German Albatros D-II and later helped clear the skies of Fokker E-III. Thissuccessful pusher was very maneuverable and exhibited an excellent climb rate.Mounting the engine in the rear of the fuselage allowed for a forward-firingmachine gun before the advent of the synchronous machine gun. Of course theopen cockpit was a problem during the winter. James McCudden, who flew a DH-2 during the winter of 1916, wrote of one patrol: "I did not care whether I was shotdown or not. I was so utterly frozen".

The KAVAN DH-2 is equiped with a scale pull-pull control mechanisim for rudderand elevator.

Material: Lightweight fully painted durable foam, vacuum formed plastic and balsa.

Includes: "Plug & Fly" 400-size motor with KAVAN K2 Gold connector, propeller,wheels, decals, hardware and illustrated instructions.

Ford Trimotor Electric ARF

Ford Tri-Motor Electric ARFThe first step towards modern U.S. air transportation was taken with the Tri-Motor.Making transcontinental air travel a reality, this aircraft reached peak production in1929. The Tri-Motor served American Airways as both an eight-passenger airlinerand an airmail carrier. One of the most important events in the selling of aviationto the general public was the entry of Henry Ford into aircraft manufacturing. TheFord automobile was at the time the symbol of reliability, and it followed in theminds of a good many people that a Ford airplane would be safe to fly. The FordTri-motor was a rugged (all-metal construction), dependable transport airplane,which won a permanent place in aviation history.

Our Ford Tri-Motor Electric ARF is patterned after the full scale airplane type 5-AT-C, tail number N414H, from Scenic Airways. Until recently N414H flew tourists overthe Grand Canyon. For optimal performance and scale flight appearance our FordTri-Motor is powered by two motors with a free spinning prop in the nose. Materi-al: Lightweight fully painted durable foam, vacuum formed plastic and balsa.

Ford Tri-Motor with Floats Electric ARFIn 1935 TWA added a New York City commuter flight using NC-410H, TWA No.620. The purpose was to transport passengers and mail from downtownManhattan to Floyd Bennett Field, New York City�s first municipal airport.

TWA pilot Bill Piper told an interesting story about a preliminary test flight,��Harlan Hull, the system Chief Pilot, (and a former Marine pilot) came out to seeme and asked if the ship was ready to fly. My answer was a quick �Let�s give it atry!� The next morning we were airborne for one of the most thrilling flights ever�underneath the 59th Street and George Washington bridges, and a tour of theNew York skyline, the Statute of Liberty, Long Beach and Eastern Long Island�all from an altitude of 50 feet.� *

Even if you forget the story above, each time you fly Ford Tri-Motor with Floatsyou will smile. The Ford Tri-Motor can also be hand-launched and landed on grassfields.
