2 E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 400 ARF Assembly Manual
Introduction
The Hawker Sea Fury was a British fighter aircraft developed
by Hawker for the Royal Navy during the Second World War.
The Sea Fury was designed as a single piston engine, propeller
driven fighter for aircraft carrier take-offs and landings. It is
known for being one of the fastest single piston engine aircraft
ever built and while it arrived too late for service during
WWII, it did serve admirably during the Korean War. The
well known historical event for the Hawker Sea Fury was on
August 9, 1952, when Lieutenant Peter "Hoagy" Carmichael
of the Royal Navy shot down a MiG-15 jet-powered fighter
in combat. This was one of very few piston-engine powered
fighters to successfully engage a turbine-powered adversary.
E-flite has produced the Hawker Sea Fury 400 ARF as an EPS
injection-molded foam model to offer lightweight, durable and
easily repairable construction. The scale detail is complete
with accurately molded panel lines and a factory painted and
installed cockpit, pilot figure and canopy. For additional scale
detail, optional factory finished rockets and retractable landing
gear can also be installed. This 400-sized aircraft boasts factory
installed spars, hinges, and control horns. You have the option
to select between the included fixed landing gear or retractable
landing gear. All of the parts are included for either of the
landing gear options.
The E-flite Hawker Sea Fury has an elliptical shaped wing that
offers gentle flight characteristics not typically found in this class
of model. The bolt-on wing is easily removed for transportability
and access to on-board electronics. Other electronics are easily
accessible through the magnetic battery hatch. The Sea Fury has
lightly loaded flight characteristics resulting in smooth handling
and ease of flight. This warbird gives the modeler different
power options with the factory installed stick motor mount. This
model is perfect for mounting 400-480 size outrunner brushless
motors. The model is matched with popular sized batteries
for excellent power and flight duration potential. This warbird
boasts scale details, a high level of prefabrication, and flight
characteristics that are unmatched by the competition.
