Aviatik D.I Berg 1:8 RC model

11. 01. 2009

The model for this splendid aircraft is the biplane fighter of the Imperial and Royal Austrian-Hungarian army. In the First World War the Czech pilots still flew this plane in the service of the emperor. Aviatik D.I.Berg is also the first aircraft confiscated into the arsenal of the newly established Czech state.

The construction of this model fully respects the international rules of the air-combat category for aircrafts from the First World War. On the basis of this agreement, we also consider it chivalric to deploy a biplane into the fights (Our Fokker DVIII is a monoplane and so the choice is a totally unknown type. The drawing is constructed out of clear water, completely digitally processed. The very simple structure made from CNC pre-processed parts was emphasized during the construction. Building the structural wings is very simple, because the model has two completely identical rectangular wings without deflection - the entire wing is built at once on a flat panel.

The main advantages of the model:

• simple classic construction made of plywood, balsa wood and pine.
• plans and building documentation of the plane completely computer processed
• all parts of the fuselage and wings made on CNC milling machine, so they are very precise
• very realistic appearance
• unconventional type of aircraft
• simple to build - also suitable for slightly advanced
  

• wing span: 1040 mm
• fuselage length: 855 mm
• surface of the wings: 39,2 dm2
• controlled functions: ailerons, elevator, rudder, motor,
• Flight weight: 1400g
• propulsion: OS MAX FS-30, ASP30 or electromotor

Aviatik D-I Berg - Short kit 1:8, CNC milled parts, plans, markings:

This short kit contains all the milled plywood, balsa wood and laminated parts required to build the model, a printed A0 paper plan in the scale 1:1 for ease of construction and printed self-adhesive symbols for the Imperial and Royal markings of the aircraft. For reasons of transport the planar balsa wood are not included in the short kit; also the undercarriage are made by the modeller himself following the plans. The short kit is aimed at advanced modellers.
An innovation is the laminate cover of the motor, wing trusses, elektroboard which from now on is also part of the short kit.

As an optional accessory, it is possible to order a Solartex printed canvas with the Austro-Hungarian lozenge for a complete model of the Berg around 4 m of printed and clean Solartex canvas for both the upper and lower surfaces and fuselage, all for the price of 60 EUR. The resistance of the print and authentic appearance is perfect, but when using an internal combustion engine it is necessary to protect the print against fuel after application with a thin layer of varnish.

Thanks:
