Hangar 9 Toledo Special
The high-wing 40-size Toledo Special will rekindle memories of the
“Golden Age” of aviation with its “vintage” classic looks and delight
modelers who are looking for a model that can offer them sport aerobatic
performance, yet still look different and unique when out at the
flying field.
To optimise weight and performance the model is constructed from
laser-cut balsa and plywood covered with Ultracote in a typical “Golden
Age” colour scheme giving the airplane
a classic look and providing ease of visibility in the air.
Other features of the Toledo Special include the 2-piece wing for
easier transportation, pre-hinged control surfaces with pre-installed
control horns and a battery hatch for quick and easy access to the
flight batteries.
Whilst the model is optimised for electric power and is perfectly
matched with an E-flite Power 46 brushless motor (EFLM4046A), it
may also be flown successfully with a .40 size and up two or four-stroke
glow engine and the comprehensive hardware pack and Hangar9’s photo
illustrated assembly guide make fitting either option simple and
easy.
The high-wing layout of the model and clear cabin windshield allows
for the installation of a pilot figure for added realism and the
pre-painted fiberglass wheel pants and motor cowling complete the
stylish look.
This aircraft combines old-time high-wing styling with nice relaxed
moderate aerobatic performance to produce a model that everyone at
the flying-field will envy. |
