We are pleased to introduce a redesign of the de Havilland Beaver remote control electric kit. This kit now comes with LASER CUT PARTS and fully illustrated step-by-step instructions with over 25 color photos. This model is a floater designed for the builder who loves easy construction and relaxing flying. This big 57" wingspan plane with 468 square inches is easy to transport with the removable wing. The covered plane weighs in at 25 ounces before adding the tires, radio gear, batteries and motor. Modelers have modified this classic plane in the past with skis and floats for added fun or switched it over to gas. A simple 3 channel model to build and fly with rudder, elevator and throttle controls. Designed by Steve Gray for the 05 Cobalt motor. 1/10 scale.

This R/C electric kit includes a full-size rolled plan, complete step-by-step color instruction booklet, laser cut balsa and plywood parts, hand picked balsa and basswood, control horns, hinges, screws, preformed landing gear wire, and clear plastic. You will need an electric motor, radio control, cells, wheels, propeller, push rods, and covering material.

"Here’s my Beaver, covered using MonoKote white and blue, with dark blue pin-striping.  I had it flying for two years now using a Magnetic Mayhem truck motor, geared 2.5:1, turning an APC-E 14x10 Prop on 10x1950 NiMh cells.  This provided a great amount of thrust as I tow a 8’ long banner at our club fun flies with it.  I mounted a servo release on the bottom of the plane so I can release the banner prior to landing.  The above setup was only about 280 Watts, and flew the plane extremely well. Just this weekend I updated the model with a new brushless Outrunner from E-Flite. It is a Power 25 and will swing a 12 x 6 prop on a 3S lipo. I'll have to test props to find the right combination for towing the banner, but it sounds like this setup will be extremely powerful for my needs. Here's a few photos of my setup. I'd love to build another one in the near future with ailerons and flaps." - Robert Schaffer
