 One
of the early success stories of WW1, and proving popular with American
pilots flying with the French forces, the N11 was one of the aircraft
credited with ending the reign of terror known as the ‘Fokker Scourge’.
Small, agile and armed with a forward firing gun, the Nieuport ‘Bebe’
served with many nations’ forces and was license-built by Italy and
Russia.
 Your
sport scale Dare Design electric R/C
model Nieuport may be finished in a number of interesting color schemes
and will provide an easy-to-build, nice flying model, capable of such
maneuvers as loops, stall turns and barrel rolls. This model has no
dihedral on the top wing. This model is not hard to fly and is capable
of all scale aerobatics for the type. Take care during the build, keep
the tail end light and go ‘Eindecker’ hunting.

From the attack on Pearl Harbor to the last desperate
attempts to ward off allied fighters and bombers, the Zero took part in
every major Jap Navy action. However, even with early war superiority,
the A6M2 was fast becoming outclassed by the introduction of allied
fighters such as the Hellcat, Corsair and P-38. Mitsubishi recognized
that massive improvements to the Zero were needed to keep pace with
these new fighters.
Two glaring insufficiencies recognized was the lack of firepower and
marginal structural integrity. This became apparent during high-speed
dives. The Zero would start to come apart when dived ay more than 400
mph. Thus, the need for rapid improvements, which spurred the
development of the A6M5 series.
The wings were shortened and structural improvements added. The folding
wing tips with its associated structure were eliminated. The engine
exhaust system was revamped for individual exhaust stack, augmenting max
speed. Also added were improved 20mm long-barrel cannons with more
rounds per gun. The substitution, and addition of .50 caliber machine
guns, in lieu of .30 caliber guns improved the Zero’s firepower.
Called by various Allied code names such as: Ben, Ray, Zeke and Hamp,
these late war Zeros never quite regained the almost mythical regard
that characterized Allied thinking (Re: The Vaulted Zero) thru much of
the early war years. |
