Vintage RC Goes Giant-Scale!

132

Originally a 35-inch-span, free-flight model, the Worcraft Products' Scarab was designed in the late '40s and had elliptical planform flying surfaces, a centerline-mounted mono wheel for ground takeoffs, and two sub rudders along with a conventional top-mounted vertical stabilizer. Check out its all-moving tailplane at 56 seconds in! This enlarged, 82-inch-span version pays tribute to the original design and is powered by an O.S. .70 four-stroke. It's a beauty!
