1:8 rc scale Bristol Beaufighter from CAD plans, fiberglass parts and precision laser cut wood parts

The scale model have been designed from accurate and detailed scale drawings, to perform the FAI scale
competition scores. In fact, the scale drawings have been enlarged using a C.A.D. process to obtain the
accurate outlines at the final model size. All the model frame CAD plans have been studied from the large
drawings and, as result, the outlines of the model are accurate to the aircraft!
In addition, of course, a lot of scale documentation, books, and some 100 pictures from Hendon museum's Beau have been collected to achieve this project!

From the plan and fiberglass parts, you can detail the model at your convenience.
Powered with two Laser .70 four strokes, the flight of this scale model is incredible of realism!
The straight away acceleration and take-off, many times a problem for twin engines/single rudder models, was
easily solved by coupling the throttles servos with the rudder way. Once wheels "up",the speed incease
quicly, and the model is quietly manoeuvrable. The large tail areas provide excellent flying stability at all speeds.
To land the "Beau", with flaps down and a few throttles, is done at a very low speed. Delightfull!

FUSELAGE:The fuselage is built from two shells, on a flat and rigid jig.
The plan shows the right and left full size building views for a perfect
symetrical result. Once built and sheeted, the two parts are removed
from the jig and assemblied together (exactly like the full size Mosquitto
aircraft).

THE WING is built in three panels. The full size plan shows all the usefull details like the nacelles locations, the flaps rods system.
The panels are built on a flat and rigid jig, to avoid any wrong swip. We have include some interesting details like the ailerons servos locations in the ribs and the pre-built wing tips from end ribs and templates. The wood kit includes all these laser cut parts.

TAILPLANE AND WING PARTS PLAN. All the tailplane panels are built on a flat jig.
The dihedral stabilisator design is particular for this aircraft. For this reason, we have design holed ribs and carbon rods for the elevator controls. The plan shows both the wingribs, tail ribs,and foam panels construction templates.

The engines nacelles plan is very detailed. The nacelles, main parts of the aircraft, include the most important and
complicated accessories: engines and landing gear.
The full size plan shows the details of building if your desire is to fit an accurate scale landing gear.
