Two shots of the magnificent
Blackburn Firebrand, displayed here by designer and builder
Martin Hursthouse.
This impressive model spans 104" and weighs in ready to fly at 19lbs. It has a wing loading at this weight of 27oz/ft2 and utilises the Eppler 374 wing section. |

The Firebrand's fuselage is
constructed using a Blue Foam plug, which is then covered in brown paper
and fibreglass before the blue foam is chemically removed.
The large wing is constructed using conventional built up methods. |
