The
Hawker Hurricane Collection |
The Hawker Hurricane has proven to be a winner off
the slope with its ample wing area and clean lines, although, as in
other divisions of our hobby it is modelled far less in comparison to
its counterpart, the Spitfire. Here are a few PSS examples;

This 90" span model, designed
by Steve, weighs in at 7kg and is constructed with glassed, balsa
skinned foam wings and traditional ply and balsa fuselage
construction.

Andy Blackburn
attended the 2003 Lleyn PSS Fly-In with
his Hawker Hurricane built for PSS from the Balsacraft power
kit.
This model is all built up, the sheeted wings are
covered in glass whilst the fuselage is covered with tissue.
Using 3 channel R/C for ailerons, elevator and rudder, it has an AUW
of 36.5oz and a resultant wing loading of 15oz/sq ft.
This Hurricane is finished in desert camouflage
and is fitted with a scale air-filter in the nose. |
