Using a combination of a strong, lightweight moulded plastic ‘shell’ over a carbon reinforced balsa and ply internal structure, the complex curves of the DH88 Comet are faithfully reproduced in this semi-scale almost ready to fly model. The tail surfaces and wing use a traditional built up structure that has been factory built and covered in film with the simple white insignia and trim already applied with pre-painted moulded engine nacelles requiring only the minimum of installation work.
Designed for a pair of .52 size four strokes (OS FS52 Surpass recommended) or go electric with a pair of brushless motors - mounts are included for both options. Designed for retracts, a custom set of air operated retracts are available - see the Aircraft Accessories section for full details.
The Comet is designed for aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, retracts and flap control using a combination of standard and micro servos. For strength, the outboard wing panels plug in to the centre section using aluminium tube joiners but the wing is removable for easy transport. |
