DETAILS:
Our Widgeon faithfully reproduces the original, right down to the negative tail incidence. Yes, negative, just in case owners thought it was a mistake! It's all a matter of balancing the various incidences to get the right flying performance. Who are we to argue with Westland about their design!
Construction starts with cutting out the pre-printed balsa components from balsa sheets and then combining them with plan and strip wood in the time honoured fashion.
This is not a slow flying model, but has a unique look in the air. It does however, benefit from the stability that a high wing mount provides and is simple to trim.
