1/9 Rumpler Taube EP 64" ARF

The Taube was designed in 1909 by Igo Etrich of Austria-Hungary, and first flew in 1910. It was licensed for serial production by Lohner- Werke in Austria and by Edmund Rumpler in Germany. Like many contemporary aircraft, especially monoplanes, the Taube used wing warping rather than ailerons for roll control, and also warped the rear half of the stabilizer for use as an elevator control surface's function. Only the vertical, twinned triangular rudder surfaces were usually hinged.
Rumpler Taube was the first military aeroplane to be mass-produced in Germany. It was very popular prior to the First World War, and it was also used by the air forces of Italy and Austria-Hungary. On November 1, 1911, Giulio Gavotti, an Italian aviator, dropped the world's first aerial bomb from his Taube monoplane over the Ain Zara oasis in Libya.
 
Maxford USA radio controled Rumpler Taube is about 1/9 scale. It takes about 5 years from design and developing to production. It comes with full functioning of wing and elevator warping feature as well as shock absorbing landing gear. It is the first and only wing warping airplane in the RC hobby industry. It is designed for electric for a more scale appearance, but can also be converted to glow with our glow conversion kit.

Too many wires? Too complicate to assemble?
Don't worry! We did the hard part for you! We do the most difficult parts, you just hook them up and go fly. We designed this Taube as a real ARF, a scale looking very detailed airplane can be easy to assemble. Most of the wires, wing warping, elevator warping, even those wing wires for looking are pre-installed. The ready to fly Taube will even fit the back seat of Toyota Echo.
