The DHC-2
Beaver was designed by de Havilland of Canada for flight in
remote wilderness areas of the world. The Beaver was designed to
be exceptionally rugged and powerful. This single-engine
monoplane could easily be retrofitted with wheels, skis, or
floats. The short take-off and landing capabilities made it
ideal to access areas that could normally only be reached by
boat or foot. The Beaver entered into service in 1948 and
quickly established itself by flying to the frozen, remote areas
of Canada and Alaska. Despite the fact that production ceased in
1967, many of the DHC-2 Beavers are still flying today to access
remote areas for fishermen or island-hopping tourists in the
Caribbean.
The DHC-2
Beaver 25e ARF is part of E-flite’s PLATINUM SERIES. The
platinum series delivers superior, enhanced features and
meticulous attention to detail. E-flite’s Platinum Series is
just one more way that E-flite brings you the most advanced
electric flight experience.
The details of
this PLATINUM SERIES scale model includes corrugated flight
surfaces, concealed tail linkages, and scale dummy motor. The
construction of the lightweight, sturdy airframe is balsa and
plywood. The scale enthusiast will admire the scale color
scheme, prepainted fiberglass cowl, and genuine UltraCote
covering. In addition, the removable one-piece wing allows easy
transportation.
The DHC-2
Beaver is another exciting opportunity for pilots to experience
civilian scale electric flight. Just like the versatility of the
full-size DHC-2 Beaver, the E-flite model comes with float
mounts built into the fuselage. For added fun, the pilot can
quickly change the landing gear to the optional float set
(EFLA500) for on water take-offs and landings. The large flap
areas aid the characteristic short landings performed by the
DHC-2. The DHC-2 gives the modeler options; it is outfitted with
the new E-flite adjustable motor mount system which allows
either the Power 25 or Power 32 brushless outrunner motors to be
bolted directly onto the firewall. With the combination of the
PLATINUM SERIES detail and the additional float kit, place the
DHC-2 Beaver in a class of its own.
