Model type: Electric transport Designed by: Tony Nijhuis Wingspan: 72” (1892mm) Wing area: 3.5sq. ft. (0.3sq. m) All-up weight: 7 lb 5oz (3.3kg) Wing loading: 33oz / sq. ft. (10kg / sq. m) Motors: 2 x Permax 600-7.2V* Gearboxes: 2.33:1* Battery: 10-cell 3000m Ah Ni MH (HVHC)*ESC: 45A* Choosing a new subject for a model is never easy, so I like to ask around & get a feel for what might interest other modellers: “ How about a nice B-17, ” I enquired, “or perhaps a Wellington?” Of course, the great thing about this sort of informal poll is that you can always ignore the results. Now, initially, when various parties suggested a medium-size Dakota, I don’t mind telling you I exercised my right to selective hearing because, to be honest, it wasn’t anywhere near the top of my wish list. However, RCM&E editor Graham Ashby wasn’t willing to be ignored... Mr. Ashby, it seems, is rather a fan of the DC-3 &, like it or not, I have to admit that its long & diverse history does lend it a certain cache
- for a commercial aircraft, that is. Although the aircraft has been in service for over 70 years (the prototype first flew on December 17 1935), the Douglas continues to operate in all corners of the world & has achieved an almost iconic status. It’s hardly surprising, then, that so many flyers want a model of the Dakota. On the prototype’s maiden flight, for instance, when it was still uncovered, with unfinished nacelles & a plant-pot stuck on its nose, the Dak’ was recognised with affection by the first modeller I met. “ Oh, a Dakota
- that’s nice. I remember jumping out of one in ‘44...” You get the picture. The upshot of all this is that Graham got his way, & his DC-3.

Design by Mike Keay Star Rating: Designed to satisfy the needs of the up-&-coming 3D flyer, the appearence & construction of this model are completely different from RCM&E's published efforts. The wings are conventional in construction, with a deep semi-symmetrical section & a blunt leading edge. Whether pioliting the more smooth-flying 58" wingspan version or the clipped 52" "hooligan", Basic 3D will satisfy both tyro & aerobatic pilots alike. The 3D is a true all-round aerobat.

Designed by: Tony Nijhuis Model type: Electric W.W.11 bomber Fully built up construction using balsa andplywood. The fuselage is built over the plan using formers & stringers & rolled balsa sheeted finish. The wings are a built-up structure of ribs over a main spar & balsa sheeted. The tailplane built up in a similar fashion to the wings. Originally designed for four 400-6V geared motors & 16-cells but we now recommend a brushless setup with lithium polymer batteries for the best fl ight performance & duration. The model is designed for retractable undercarriage. If you have always wanted to build a B-17 but have never quite found one in a practical ' Sunday Morning' size, we're pleased to tell you the wait is over! Tony is rightly pleased with this little beauty. She handles like an aileron trainer. Get her in the air & trust us, you'll want to fly her like a big, heavy bomber. Slow, graceful & hugely impressive. Don't be surprised if your people stop what they're doing to watch.
