Discover the Canadian
Bush!
The de
Havilland Beaver (DHC-2) is one of the most
famous bush planes in the world.
A reliable single-engine airplane, the de
Havilland Beaver was designed for flight in
rugged and remote areas of the world. Its short
takeoff and landing capability make it ideal for
areas normally only accessible by canoe or foot.
After World War II, the Beaver was an immediate
success within the Canadian aviation community.
Take a trip to the Canadian Outback and you will
see various fleets in action. The Beaver is the
most commonly used work-horse within the
Canadian Bush. The pilots, some of the best
aviators in the world.

The de
Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is
one of the most famous bush planes in the
world. After World War II, de Havilland
Canada was looking to produce a plane
suited to operations in the extremes of
the Canadian north.
The Beaver has
become a symbol of the Canadian north, and
has since found use as a bush plane all
over the world; the international ICAO
designation for flight plans is DHC2. The
type is used for aerial application; (crop
dusting and aerial topdressing), and has
been widely used by armed forces as a
utility aircraft; the U.S. Army Air Corps
purchased several hundred. Nine DHC-2s are
still in service with the US Air Force
Auxiliary (Civil Air Patrol) for search
and rescue. A Royal New Zealand Air Force
Beaver supported Sir Edmund Hillary's
expedition to the South Pole. Over 1,600
Beavers were produced.
Due to this
success, the Royal Canadian Mint
commemorated the Beaver on a special
edition Canadian quarter in November 1999.

DO-X SEAPLANE SCALE MODEL AIRCRAFT
PRICE:
$151.95 |
|
The Dornier
Do 18 was a development of the Dornier
Do 15 "Wal" flying-boat. It was developed
for Deutsche Lufthansa and they introduced
it in 1935. Its records included a
non-stop 5,214 mile (8,391 km) flight from
Start Point, Devon to Caravelas in Brazil.
The Do 18
retained the basic metal hull and
stabilizing sponsons that had
characterized the Do 15, but was
aerodynamically more efficient. Powered by
two 540 hp (403 kW) Junkers Jumo 5 diesel
engines, the Do 18a prototype first
flew on 15 March 1935 and was followed by
four of the Do 18E variant with
improved 600 hp (447 kW) Junkers Jumo 205C
engines. Lufthansa's sixth aircraft was
the only Do 18F that first took to
the skies on 11 June 1937 and established
the England to Brazil endurance record
between 27 to 29 March 1938 in aviation.
It was later designated the Do 18L
when modified by the use of the more
powerful 880 hp (656 kW) BMW 132N engines;
it made its first flight with this engine
on 21 November 1939.

RC-3 SEA BEE SCALE MODEL AIRCRAFT
Item #AM423AR - PRICE:
$126.95 |
|
The RC-3
Seabee was the brainchild of Percival
Hopkins "Spence" Spencer, an early
aviation pioneer who built his first hang
glider in April 1911, just two weeks after
his 17th birthday, using plans he found in
a "Popular Mechanics" magazine. On May
15th 1914 "Spence" would make his first
powered flight in a Curtiss Type Flying
Boat. In 1937 he would team up with
Sikorsky engineer Vincent A. Larsen to
design their first, and only, amphibious
aircraft, the Spencer-Larsen SL-12C.
Development of the plane progressed
slowly, and in September 1940 Spencer left
the partnership to found his own company.
His aircraft would be called the Spencer
S-12 Air Car Amphibian. Construction of
the S-12 began on March 1st 1941 and the
small, two seat S-12 (NX29098) made its
first flight on August 8th 1941. The S-12
was a fabric covered amphibian with a
unique box like forward cabin, a high wing
with a pusher style two bladed propeller,
and a long, slender tail boom.

A6M-2-N ZERO (W/FLOAT) RUFE SCALE MODEL AIRCRAFT
Item #AM253CL - PRICE:
$126.95 |
|
The Mitsubishi
A6M Zero ("A" for fighter, 6th model, "M"
for Mitsubishi) was a lightweight,
carrier-based fighter aircraft employed by
the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service
from 1940 to 1945. Its history mirrored
the fortunes of Imperial Japan in World
War II. At the time it was introduced, the
Mitsubishi A6M was the best carrier-based
fighter plane in the world and was greatly
feared by Allied pilots. By 1942, thanks
to the evolution of new tactics and
techniques, allied pilots were able to
engage the Zero on more equal terms. By
1943, American and British manufacturers
were producing fighters with greater
firepower, armor, and speed and
approaching the Zero's maneuverability. By
1944, the Mitsubishi A6M was outdated but
remained in production. In shifting
priorities during the final years of the
War in the Pacific, the Zero was utilized
in kamikaze operations.
A combination
of excellent maneuverability and very long
range made it one of the finest fighters
of its era. In early combat operations,
the Zero gained a legendary reputation,
outclassing its contemporaries. Later,
design weaknesses and the increasing
scarcity of more powerful aircraft engines
meant that the Zero became less effective
against newer fighters.

NOORDUYN NORSEMAN MK VI SCALE MODEL AIRCRAFT
PRICE: $142.95 |
|
The Noorduyn
Norseman is a Canadian single-engine bush
plane designed to operate from unimproved
surfaces. Norseman aircraft are known to
have been registered and/or operated in 68
countries throughout the world and also
have been based and flown on the Arctic
and Antarctic continents.
With the
experience of working on many
ground-breaking designs at Fokker,
Bellanca and Pitcairn-Cierva, Noorduyn
decided to create his own design in 1934,
the Noorduyn Norseman. Along with
colleague, Walter Clayton, Noorduyn
created his original company, Noorduyn
Aircraft Limited in early 1933 at Montreal
while a successor company bearing the
name, Noorduyn Aviation, was established
in 1935.

SHORT SUNDERLAND FLYING BOAT SCALE MODEL AIRCRAFT
PRICE: $135.95 |
|
The S.25
Sunderland was a British flying boat
patrol bomber developed for the Royal Air
Force by Short Brothers, first flown on 16
October 1937 by Shorts' Chief Test Pilot,
John Lankester Parker. Based in part upon
the S.23 Empire flying boat, the
flagship of Imperial Airways, the S.25 was
extensively re-engineered for military
service. As one of the most powerful and
widely used flying boats throughout the
Second World War, it terrorized the German
U-boat fleet. It took its name from the
town of Sunderland in northeast England.
In 1934, the
British Postmaster General declared that
all first-class Royal Mail sent overseas
was to travel by air, effectively
establishing a subsidy for the development
of intercontinental air transportation in
a fashion similar to the U.S. domestic
program a decade earlier. In response,
Imperial Airways announced a competition
between aircraft manufacturers to design
and produce 28 flying boats, each weighing
18 tons (18.2 tonnes) and having a range
of 700 miles (1,130 km) with a capacity
for 24 passengers.

DeHAVILLAND DHC-3 OTTER USAF SCALE MODEL AIRCRAFT
PRICE: $135.95 |
|
The de
Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter is a single
engine, high wing, propeller-driven, STOL
aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada.
It was conceived to be capable of
performing the same roles as the earlier
and highly successful Beaver, but was
overall a larger plane.
When
de Havilland Canada began design work on the King
Beaver (the Otter's original name) in January
1951, it was trying to extend the company's line
of rugged STOL utility transports that had begun
with the earlier and highly successful Beaver. The
single engine, high wing, propeller-driven DHC-3
Otter was conceived to be capable of performing
the same roles as the Beaver, but was considerably
larger, the veritable "one-ton truck" (in company
parlance- the Beaver was the "half-ton truck").
Using the same overall configuration of the
earlier and highly successful DHC2 Beaver, the new
design incorporated a longer fuselage, greater
span wings and was much heavier. Seating in the
main cabin is for 10 or 11, whereas the Beaver
could seat six. Power is supplied by a 450kW (600
hp) Pratt & Whitney R1340 Wasp radial. |

Although the
Otter found ready acceptance in bush
airlines, as in a similar scenario to the
DHC-2 Beaver, the US Army soon became the
largest operator of the aircraft (184
delivered with the designation U-1A
Otter). Other military users included
Australia, Canada and India but the
primary role of the aircraft as a rugged
bush plane continues to this day.
The Otter is
also a popular airplane among the general
aviation (non-military) parachuting
community and can be found in many
dropzones throughout the world.

HU-16 ALBATROSS USCG SCALE MODEL AIRCRAFT
PRICE: $119.95 |
|
The
Grumman HU-16 Albatross is a large twin-radial
engine amphibious flying boat. Originally
designated SA-16, it was renamed HU-16 in 1962.
The Albatross
was designed to be able to land at sea in
open ocean situations in order to effect
the rescue of downed pilots. Its deep-V
cross-section and substantial length
helped make it possible for it to land in
wavy conditions.
Since it
weighs over 12,500 pounds, pilots must
have a type rating in order to act as
pilot or co-pilot on board the Albatross.
There is a yearly Albatross fly-in at
Boulder City, Nevada, where Albatross
pilots can renew their type ratings.

PBM MARINER SCALE MODEL AIRCRAFT
PRICE: $119.95 |
|
The Martin PBM
Mariner was a United States Navy patrol
bomber flying boat of World War II and the
early Cold War period. It was designed to
complement the PBY Catalina in service.
1,285 were built, with the first example
flying on February 18 1939 and the type
entering service in September 1940.
The aircraft
was fitted with five gun turrets and bomb
bays that were in the engine nacelles. The
gull wing was of cantilever design, and
featured clean aerodynamics with an
unbraced twin tail. The PBM-1 was equipped
with retractable wing landing floats that
were hinged inboard, while the PBM-3 had
fixed floats. Also the fuselage of the
PBM-3 was three feet longer than the
PBM-1.
The British
Royal Air Force acquired 32 Mariners. They
were not used operationally and some were
returned to the United States Navy and
twelve were transferred to the Royal
Australian Air Force for transporting
troops and cargo.
The Dutch Navy
acquired seventeen PBM-5a Mariners at the
end of 1955 for service in former Dutch
New Guinea. The PBM-5a is an amphibian
plane with retractable landing gear. The
engines are 2100 hp Pratt & Whitney
R-2800-34. After several incidents the
Dutch scrapped the aircraft in January
1960.
