Hellcat Speed 400

Span:  30"
Length:  23"
Wing Area:  168 SQ IN
Weight RTF:  18 OZ

The Hellcat Speed 400 was featured as a construction project in the July, 1997 issue of Model Airplane News. It's a moderately easy to build warbird of balsa and foam construction. It's designed for a 6V Speed 400 motor on 7 or 8 cells, but it can also be powered by the new AstroFlight 020 brushless motor for even more impressive performance.

This is a complete laser-cut kit, and high quality Sig balsa is used throughout. Fuselage construction is conventional balsa, and the wing is foam sheeted with 1/32 balsa.

For best performance, I recommend the following flight hardware: 6V Speed 400 motor, Graupner #1328 prop adapter, Graupner 6 X 4 prop, 7 or 8-cell KR-600AE or N-500AR battery pack, 20 amp BEC speed controller and micro radio gear.

 The kit includes all materials needed for construction:

bulletMachine-cut foam wing cores.
bulletLaser-cut balsa and ply parts.
bulletPre-bored balsa cowl block.
bulletPremium grade balsa.
bulletThermo-formed canopy.
bulletFull-size AutoCAD plans. (Click for partial view).
bulletFrisket masks for painting canopy.
