My Son Justyn looking pleased with his Flair Beaufighter kit. The wing under construction on the kitchen table.

Initially many thought that the Beaufighter was an aeroplane too heavy and too large to be successful but
 this fear was dispelled when it was found that the bulk was ideal to accommodate the early night fighter
 radar  that was available.
T he prototype Beaufighter first flew in July 1939 with the first ten production  models
 reaching the RAF in  August 1940. It was a very adaptable aircraft and served in night fighter,  ground , 
strafing and torpedo bombing roles. Truly a complete aeroplane.

Construction: 
The construction of the Beaufighter is conventional comprising a built up wing and fuselage.
 Mouldings are supplied for the nacelles, cockpit and nose cone.
As with all electric powered models weight is extremely important. The weight of batteries, motors,
 speed controllers and radio gear is fixed to a large degree and cannot be reduced.
