A superb builders model. The DC3 Dakota makes into beautiful scale model with a host of world wide liveries to choose from.
Fully built up construction using balsa and plywood. The fuselage is built over the plan using a former and stringer build up and rolled balsa sheeted finish.
The wings are a built-up structure of ribs over a main spar and balsa sheeted.
The tail is a simple 6mm sheet balsa outline and forms part of the CNC pack available.
Originally designed to fly using two 600 size brushed motors through gearboxes but this beauty really deserves a brushless motor setup and Lipo batteries.
The model is designed for retractable undercarriage.
Plan and VAC formed cowls, nacelles and nose cone are available, as is a CNC pack and wood pack.
The CNC pack includes, ply fuselage formers, spine and doublers, balsa tailplane and fin, balsa wing ribs and the nacelle structure.
