This list wouldn't be complete with the Hawker Hurricane. Image from Wikipedia. Mk I in France, November 1939, showing original fabric-covered outer wing and two-bladed propeller This rare model should get the interest of any aircraft builder, because there is truly nothing like it.Ī completed Dornier DO335 'pfeil' RC model The RBCkits Dornier DO335 kit could be the only balsa wood RC airplane kit available in the world for this model. One French pilot recalled being unable to catch up to the DO335, even though he was flying an also fast Hawker Tempest. Top speed of the DO 335 Anteater was 730 Km/h (453 MPH)! The impact of the 'pfeil' on the second world war is small, but would the war have lasted longer this powerful airplane could have made a big difference for the Luftwaffe. Only a handful of "anteaters", as the two-seater version was called, were ever build. Hitler himself ordered maximum priority to the development of the Dornier DO335.Īlas, due to engine delays and developments in the war, it was only used from 1943 (in tests) until the end of the war in 1945. Being the fastest piston-engine in the arsenal of the Nazi's Luftwaffe, they were desperate to deploy more of this unique airplane. It was developed by the German company Dornier Flugzeugwerke. The Dornier DO335 'pfeil' (arrow) is a rare twin engine world war II aircraft. We actually offer two versions of the P51 "Mustang" as an airplane kit. P-51 Mustangs of the 375th Fighter Squadron, Eighth Air Force mid-1944.

They were used in almost every major battle in Europe and was even active in the Korean War.īut the dominance of the P51 would not have been possible without an upgrade with the Rolls Royce Merlin engine, which allowed it to reach higher altitudes and compete with German fighters. More than 15.000 P51's were build, and it is said the Mustang is responsible for destroying over 4.950 enemy aircrafts. Originally, the P51 was developed for the British RAF but was later adopted by the U.S. It is regarded as one of the finest piston engine air crafts produced in high numbers. This airplane literally changed the course of the war. The North American P51 Mustang is perhaps THE airplane you think of when 'Warbird' is mentioned. Image from Wikipedia. P-51 takes off from Iwo Jima. From the easy builders to the expert kits.ĥ Awesome RC Warbirds (that you want to build) So in this post, we will talk about 5 Warbirds. It's all the more special to have someone come up to you and ask you about the unique build you're showing off. It's not as fun to always see the same planes. It's very cool to imagine flying a plane that fought in the second World War, changing the course of human history. Obviously the way it's build, but also the story it tells and what it means to you.
Probably more I'm forgetting.RC Warbirds! They're fun to build, fun to fly.īuilding your own RC airplane from a kit is exciting on it's own, but the airplane you pick makes a big difference. Good voltage at 6.6V, very little voltage drop, extremely durable with today's high energy servos and the hungry 2.4 systems, no 'memory', virtually impervious to the vibration that got my NiMh batts, very fast charge with less volatility than the LiPos, and some brands come with duel connection options. Once you move to the A123s, you will not look back. I am sure I will eventually try the A123's, but hard to fix something that ain't broke if you know what I mean. I replace them about every two years just for safety and have never had any issues. The Sanyo sub C, although not new technology by any means, is a proven workhorse, and they are quite durable. The only caveat doing it this way is you have to unplug one of the batteries before charging both in order to break the common ground. I run them through two seperate charge switches (JR only) and plug both into the recever. If you wanna keep it simple, do what I do : I run dual Sanyo 2400 sub c packs (NO BS batteries is where I get them) in all my jets and warbirds.
