Fairey Barracuda
built by Steve Griffiths from a design by Steve and Mike Briggs.
Model is built to 1:17th scale, it spans 37.5" and has an AUW of just 17oz. It uses Ailerons and Elevator controls only for PSS (Flaps are non-operational) but it can be fitted and flown with a Speed 400 electric motor for flat field flying. It is constructed using conventional built up balsa, sheeted and finished in Solarfilm. This particular model is finished in Gloss Blue as the 'Admiral's barge' from HMS Vengeance in 1948. |
