SEAGULL MODELS De Havilland Mosquito
Radio-Controlled Planes for RC Pilots
Overview
The de Havilland Mosquito was a British multi-role aircraft designed to harass German troops and distinguished itself as a fighter-bomber. Present in the RAF, it also served in many air forces during the Second World War and the post-war period. It was built of wood, making it difficult to detect by enemy radar, and was in fact the first stealth aircraft in history. Nicknamed "Mossie" by its crews, it is also known as "the wooden wonder" or "the timber terror" because of its remarkable performance.
It is a twin-engine aircraft powered by Rolls-Royce Merlin engines and its balsa and birch laminated plywood structure predestines it for an RC model reproduction.
The astonishing performance of this light bomber in real combat situations quickly led to its specialization in different roles, the Mosquito is thus declined in several versions: fast day bomber, fighter-bomber, tactical bomber, night or day fighter, intruder aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft and embarked fighter.
