Aviatik 30.40
Thought I would knock out one from my Austrian heritage.
A parasol monoplane derivative of the Aviatik 30.27, the Aviatik 30.40 was powered by a similar 160hp Steyr Le Rhone 11-cylinder rotary engine, and only one prototype was built and flown during the summer of 1918. The Aviatik 30.40 was of wooden construction. The forward fuselage was covered by light metal panels and the remainder of the fuselage was ply covered. The wing had fabric skinning, and steel-tube bracing struts were employed.
Aircraft designed after the Aerodrome RC kit in 36" wingspan. Kit available here: http://www.aerodromerc.com/
Original build thread here: http://www.aerodromerc.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1249592840/0
Power plant is more than sufficient for fun acrobatics and scale flying. A smooth throttle advance is recommended for take-offs to reduce back-torqueing the aircraft.
Functional servo arms and wires. scale shock-absorbing skid.
