PLANEPRINT SEA FURY

The Hawker Sea Fury was a single-engine British fighter aircraft developed and manufactured by the Hawker company. It was one of the fastest piston-engined production fighter aircraft ever built and was the end point of a development series of these aircraft.

We have often been asked why PLANEPRINT does not have a Warbird in its program, now here it is! And what's more, it's a pattern that is very rarely found on RC planes.

This construction is the culmination of a series of developments and is designed for stability and everyday flying. The proven PLANEPRINT P5 construction with actively foaming LW-PLA has many advantages: stable, insensitive to heat and easy to repair. The modular design of the wings in four parts makes it possible to reprint and screw on damaged parts or to make the model particularly compact for transport.

Special attention was paid to a very detailed surface, numerous sheet metal edges and rivets are shown and details such as the radial engine dummy, exhausts and the hook for landing on aircraft carriers are present. Our Sea Fury has four spreader flaps, controlled by two servos and a single connector. The tail wheel and main landing gear are sprung.

But the most important thing: the flight characteristics of the PLANEPRINT Sea Fury are fantastic. It feels like a large model on the control stick and has very good-natured stall characteristics thanks to the large wing area. It rolls very well controllable during take-off and landing, but the pilot should have experience with tailwheel airplanes.

We hope you have fun with a warbird that not everyone has in their hangar!

A special highlight of the PLANEPRINT Sea Fury is the retractable landing gear. As with many warbirds, the wheel must be in front of the pivot point when extended, approximately under the leading edge. Technically, this cannot be achieved with conventional retracts, as the wheel would be too far towards the CG when taxiing. You often see this problem with many RC warbirds, they tip very easily onto their nose when landing.

Our solution has yet another advantage: the long steel wire on which the gear leg is rotatably mounted provides additional vertical suspension.
