Needed To Complete:
• Propeller
• Engine/Motor mount & mounting hardware
• 2-5 servos depending on setup: 2 mini for elevator/rudder, 2 Sub-Micro for ailerons/throttle
• “Y” servo harness (for ailerons)
• Pushrods (two 5” for ailerons, two 20” for elevator & rudder, one 9” for throttle if glow powered)
• Clevises for the pushrods (8 if electric, 10 if glow).
• 2 - 3.5” diameter wheels. We recommend Du-Bro's #350V Vintage wheels for the proper look.
• 1 - tailwheel assembly
• Covering - typically 2 rolls
Specifications:
Radio: 3-4 channel system
• 2-4 servos (Sub-Micro servos, similar to HS-5065MG)
• 1 additional servo for throttle, if using a glow engine
Power:
• Glow (.20-.30 engine, 6 ounce tank, fuel tubing)
• Electric (equivalent brushless motor, 3s LiPo)
Fast, but not too fast. Maneuverable, but not tricky. A snap to build and surprisingly rugged compared to most. The original Sunday Fighters were the brainchild of Ken Willard back in the early 1970s. His were small,.049-powered 3-channel models and proved quite popular. Now, we've taken this idea, enlarged it, and re-engineered it to make them as fun to build as they are to fly.
There's a bit of Bristol and maybe some Spad, and for good measure, you might detect some Nieuport. So we refer to this one as the Bristol Spadport.
You should see them take evasive maneuvers in Dog Fighting. Evade with snap rolls into spins, Immelmann turns, and a loop. Our radio-controlled Sunday Fighter airplane kits just might be the most fun you’ve had in a long time.
Because of the interlocking design and high-quality laser cutting of the parts, the Sunday Fighter is a quick build. Not only does it build quick, but it also builds straight and true, as all of the parts are designed to align properly with a minimum of fuss and alignment tools.
The wings are removable for storage/transport and for giving access to the extra-large cabin area. From there, you have easy access to install most any brand of radio and control linkages. However, the fully assembled model can fit in the trunk of most mid-sized cars.
Up front, we’ve designed a hatch that covers the battery/tank compartment. This area will easily handle 3s packs and 6-ounce tanks.
Whether you choose to power your Sunday with electric or glow power, we’ve got you covered. Glow engines can be mounted side, inverted, or even upright with a little modification. Electric motors can be mounted using the included Motor box, which will help space your motor at the proper distance.
Go true "old-school" with 3-channel control, or opt for functional ailerons (4-channel).
