Hawker Tempest Mk V
The Hawker Tempest was a British fighter aircraft primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the Second World War. The Tempest was an improved derivative of the Hawker Typhoon, intended to address problems with the Typhoon's unexpected low performance by replacing its wing with a much thinner laminar flow design. It emerged as one of the most powerful fighters used during the war.
The Tempest's primary role was to carry out "armed reconnaissance" operations deep behind enemy front lines. The Tempest was particularly well suited to the role because of its high speed at low to medium altitudes, its long range when equipped with two 45-gallon drop tanks, the good firepower of the four 20mm cannon and the good pilot visibility.
Various modifications for RF 7.5. Realistic model performance. This model features an 8.14 feet wingspan, weighs 37.4 pounds, a 4 blade propeller, retractable landing gear, landing flaps, and mild brakes. The brakes are activated with the landing flaps.
Fly with the rate switch in the “High” position.
This is a very good example of a WW II era fighter. A pleasure to fly.
