 The BH-3
was the first serious military aircraft to go into production in
Czechoslovakia. This aircraft was developed in 1921 and entered into the
contest promoted by the Czech National Defense Ministry. Thus favorably
impressed, the ministry ordered 10 of these from the just-formed Avia
Aircraft Company. Five of these aircraft were powered with the BMW 185 hp
engine, and the other five were powered by a Walter engine, rated at 220 hp.
This variant could easily top 140 mph in level flight, thus far surpassing
the requirement of a minimum of 130 mph in level flight.
This aircraft, in general, was of an all wood fuselage with
fabric covered flying surfaces. The success of this aircraft launched the
Avia Aircraft Company to becoming the greatest producer of Czech military
aircraft. The Czech Avia Aircraft Co. designers, Pavel Benesand & Mroslav
Hajn (the BH part of BH-3),were designing advanced monoplane fighters at a
time when the RAF had the Sopwith Snipe, Vickers Vinny and DH-9a biplanes on
their books.
As with all Dare Design kits, the Avia features all laser
cut parts. Also included in this complete kit are full size plans, Dare
covering tissue, instructions, FAI rubber, 9 1/2" prop, and one of the
nicest vacuum-formed cowls you'll ever see in a kit this size... plus a vac
spinner, headrest, etc. |
