The Gloster Gladiator has a 64" (162.5 cm) wingspan for 90 2-stroke or 120 4-stroke engines. The kit is based on the Sea Gladiator on display in the Malta Museum, the fuselage of which was recovered from a quarry on Malta. This is the original fuselage surviving from World War II of the famous "Faith" aircraft (of the Faith, Hope and Charity trio). The Gloster Gladiator flew straight from the drawing board. Flying the Gladiator is a relaxed business; it will cope with calm or gale-force conditions without any problems. It is extremely quick to build, using precision injection-moulded components. For example, the cabane and wing struts are finished and ready to use. Many other bolt-on parts are included in the kit, which also incorporates a fibreglass fuselage moulded with panel lines, a fibreglass cowling and foam veneer wings, undercarriage wire, pre-cut tailplane assembly, various other balsa parts and a PVC bubble canopy. The plan included illustrates how the parts fit together and gives all the dimensions necessary to build the model. A parts list is enclosed with every kit which can be returned to us in the unfortunate event of an accident! All the plastic components are thus replaceable at reasonable prices. |
