SUMMARYWE LIKED THE Kit engineering, quality materials, excellent die cutting, well laid out plans, good matching between parts and plans, engine mounts included, and instruction manual. WE DIDNT LIKE THE Minor descrepancies between photos and production model, assembly instruction book and plans identify same part differently, and a few drawing errors. There is not much that anyone can say or write about the Douglas DC 3 which has not been previously covered by someone somewhere. The DC 3 is a one of a kind classic that will go down in aeronautical annals as one of the most famous and popular aircraft of all time. For an aircraft to be designed and built in 1. Donald Douglas and his team of designers certainly did somethin right. But, for any newcomer or youngn who just happens to be reading these words of wit and is not really familiar with the Gooney Bird, Majestic Lady, or Queen of the Skies, let me brief you on her by quoting some of the DC 3 historical facts found in the instruction manual The DC 3 design came about as a result of American Airlines needing to remain competitive with TWA who had the DC 1 and with United Airlines and their Boeing 2. DC 3 was the very first aircraft which could generate revenue by only carrying passengers it usually took about five days or less to build a DC 3. Between 1. 93. 5 and 1. Santa Monica, Long Beach, and Oklahoma City plants produced a total of 1. DC 3 and C 4. 7 variants there are approximately 1,5. DC 3s flying today, with most being recognized as collectors items. And I believe I read somewhere that the DC 3 flew over 1. WOW RobartTop Flite retracts provide a very realistic option. I have been very fortunate to have some fond memories of the DC 3, especially, finished in the Eastern Air Lines motif. In 1. 95. 0, my dad who worked almost 3. EAL took me on a flight from Miami, Florida, to Vero Beach, Florida in an Eastern DC 3. It was just my dad and I and the pilot and co pilot aboard and we dropped down low and slow over the beach for one of the most beautiful flights of my life. At one point, I remember we climbed and if memory serves me correctly, the pilot was an Eastern test pilot, Joe Toth I was given the opportunity to come up front and watch. That memory has stayed with me for 4. So, after all this, you can understand why I was excited when given the opportunity to do the kit review and be able to finish it off in the Eastern trim. This is also why you will see in the review, I decided to go full bore and added the scale rudder hinge line scale ribs to the rudder, elevators, and ailerons retracts flaps navigation and landing lights. Two O. S. 4. 0 LA engines provided the power for the DC 3. With its advertised wingspan of 8. Top Flite DC 3 isnt really a large model by twin standards, but it is large enough to participate in IMAA events. The only deviation from full scale is an increase in the wingtip chord, a change in the engine position and thrust lines, an increase in fin, rudder, stab, and elevator sizes, and a modification to the wing airfoil. Even with these minor design changes, the finished model should hold its own in any AMA sport scale or stand off scale event. The three full size plans call for two. Plans also show the installation of two O. S. 3. 0 Wankels. I guess with a little work, it could also be modified to go the electric route. Scale type built up control surfaces were used on the review model. The Top Flite DC 3 kit arrived by UPS and was securely protected from any shipping rash. The kit comes in a 6 14 x 1. Eastern Air Lines decor. This large photograph serves as an excellent reference if you decide to finish your DC 3 in the EAL decor. Also on the box top are lists of items needed to complete construction of the kit, recommended engines and accessories, detailed photos of various construction steps, and the completed airframe. When you open the box, the first thing you see is a heavy cardboard divider which protects the beautiful stacks of die cut balsa part sheets, stick wood, decals, three rolled sheets of full size plans, a beautiful 6. Great Planes adjustable engine mounts, and all of the formed wire parts and hardware your modeling mind could ever imagine underneath. On top of the cardboard divider are the beautiful vacuum formed cowls, wing fairings, tail cone, and cockpit. The framed up model, ready for covering. Construction Before starting construction, please do yourself a favor and read the incredible instruction manual. Within its 6. 8 pages are so many tid bits of information and construction photos, that you are doing yourself a disservice if you fail to prepare ahead. Even if you are an experienced builder, there are some spots where you can build yourself into a corner if not careful. The manual is formatted in the step by stepcheck off box construction scenario which begins with the tail group and goes to the fuselage and, finally, to the wings. Also included in the manual are several Hot Tips which are extra selected construction steps or construction practices which are fully explained and contain plenty of photos and provide a definite assist to the builder. Landing gear extended and retracted. Rockwell Download Font on this page. I found the kit to be somewhere between moderately difficult and difficult to build, and you must stay focused on the project, plan ahead, and follow the instructions to the letter. Also, plan to have your workbench and immediate area clean and clear before beginning the DC 3 project. Before starting construction, I reviewed the material list and inventoried and marked all the parts of the kit so they would be easier to locate once construction began. After marking, I sorted the parts by component. Construction begins with the stab, elevator, fin, and rudder. Locating the correct pieces of balsa stick wood is made easier by the prelocating, marking, and sorting. Siemens Protool 2017 on this page. Actually, the edge joining wasnt that bad since my kit contained some real true and straight 11. I used the recommended Great Planes PRO Wood Glue for this. During the construction of the stab and elevator halves, the high quality of the balsa and the crispness of the die cutting becomes obvious. Especially nice is the excellent match between the parts and the full size drawings. During the construction of the stab, I used the Great Planes PRO Wood Glue throughout. The two elevator halves are constructed using a 33.
