D.H. 88 Comet
|
Description: The de Haviland D.
H. 88 Comet was specifically developed in 1934 for the London/Melbourn
air race. Outfitted with two 230 horsepower motors, variable -pitch
propeller, and retractable undercarriage, the Comet
was far ahead of her time not only due to her exciting design.
|
 The elliptical
wing planform coupled with the integrated retractable undercarriage/engine
nacelles dictates the use of full fiberglass construction techniques. Prominent details such as the rib ridges in the wing and tailplane, along with the
preformed panel segments and fairing elements, lend the model a high
degree of realism. Thru
consequent emphasis on lightness, coupled with highest possible structural
integrity, we have succeeded in
offering the Comet as a full
fiberglass model where the flight performance parallels that of the
original – even with the use of electric power. |
