The Kharkov R-10 was a low wing Russian light bomber and reconnaissance
aircraft designed by the Kharkov Aviation Institute (KhAI). The KhAI
developed a whole family of high speed aircraft (from transports to
bombers) designed and assembled by teachers and students, under the
direction of Iosif Grigorievich Neman. Various modifications of the
original KhAI-1 aircraft were made from 1932 through 1938 at which
time Neman was imprisoned and the project came to and end. The KhAI-5
was a prototype of the fast photo reconnaissance aircraft. It featured
numerous innovations developed for KhAI-1 aircraft, including retractable
gear, wing and control surfaces with stressed skin, internal bomb/camera
bay, a new type of gunner's turret, and remotely controlled camera
capable of making shots at 80 degrees relative to flight direction.
M-25 730hp (later M-25E, M-88, M-62 and M-63 were used on production
aircraft). 1936. The Kharkov R-10 was the production recon/light bomber
version of KhAI-5.

"
I used only two magnets, one on the wing's trailing edge, the other
on the fuselage and one pin in the leading edge. It is perfect.
I believe it is 75 grams, with 6.28 dm2 of wing area at 11.9gr/dm2.
The motor is a small brushless electric motor of only 5 grams from
hobbyking.com. The power is 4 amps under 8 volt. That means 160 grams
of thrust theoretically, much too much for the plane. They now have
a smaller one of 2 grams." - Angelo Favaro
 
"I added copper wire to the stab for some up in the tail.
I hope you like it." - Bob Overcash
