Hawker Demon – for Bill Bailey

Bill expressed interest in this model, when seen in a recent video.
Now fitted with a larger prop and gearbox, it was taken up to the field for a spin.

Wingspan: 14 1/2″, 370mm
Length: 12 1/2″, 320mm
Weight (with 250mAh lipo): 1oz exactly, or 27g
Receiver: ItCanFly 900MHz

Controls and throttle, elevator and rudder.
The prop and gearbox are from a Silverlit SingleWing, with a replaced motor now, which made all the difference !
450 turns of 40AWG from an old relay for the rudder actuator.
Similar for the remote actuator for the elevator, but with finishings similar to ItCanFly or Planraco remote actuators.

Music is 1930’s Swing…befitting the vintage of the original Hawker Demon aircraft.
