A highly detailed semi-scale model of the
SE5A has been reproduced as an almost ready to fly indoor
electric model by E-flite.The SE5A has an outstanding slow
flight performance coupled with a host of features that make
this indoor scale model stand out from the rest.
The airframe is fully formed vacuum-moulded foam
with a pre-applied scale colour scheme and markings.
The cowling has built in scale engine detail and
the cockpit and landing gear are also pre-painted
while the ready made wooden inter-plane struts attach
easily by the eight screws reducing airframe flex
for precise flight. This simple bolt on wing design
reduces assemble time to a minimum although the plane
is an ideal size to keep fully assembled as a one
piece model.
Added scale detail to the SE5A is the inclusion of the dummy
machine gun.
The model flies with elevator, rudder and motor control,
and the specially designed wing airfoil and light wing loading
allows the SE5 to fly ultra-slowly and perform landings that
are as light as a feather!
With this super model, E-Flite has given the modeller the
chance to recapture all of the style and magic from the golden
era of early aviation! |
