INTERMEDIATE LEVEL KIT

A Frederic Klein design airplane.

The A1 Skyraider, known by many as the SPAD, was the laser pinston engine fighter bomber in the US inventory. It carried a huge payload of bombs and rockets and had fuel enough to loiter for long periods of time. The A1 served a vital mission during the Vietnam war where it served as an escort for the CH-53 helicopters that went in country to rescue downed pilots. We will eventually offer the alternate canopy, known as the "greenhouse", used on the 4 seat version of the A1.

The model is an all wood design. The fuselage is built around a crutch type of construction. Tabs and slot construction help in self aligning all the pieces. The plan contains all notes to help the builder. The A1 is typical of a small warbird and shows no bad habits. Full aerobatic routines are possible.

This is a 4 channel airplane with ailerons, rudder, elevator and throttle. You will need 4 micro servos.
