The DHC-2 Beaver is one of the most widely used bushplanes in the world. Now, experience the ease and versatility of the Beaver in the distinctive Island Wings scheme modeled after a real Alaskan bush plane. "Lady Esther" — the full-scale de Havilland Beaver that inspired this model — is piloted by self-described "flight junkie" Michelle Masden. Owner of Island Wings Air Service®, Masden uses the aircraft to take visitors on sightseeing tours of the Alaskan wilds. Learn more about Masden and Lady Esther at islandwings.com/michelle.html.
The DHC-2 Beaver incorporates durable EPO foam construction, with strategic composite reinforcements, including carbon-fiber wing spars. This results in a lightweight and strong airframe, which is easily maintained, and repairable with common adhesives and materials.
Completing the authentic appearance are scale details like the dummy radial engine, clear cockpit windows, antennas, LED nav lights, ribbed control surfaces, and chromed spinner.
Tackle almost any surface with the sturdy taildragger landing gear, equipped with forgiving tundra-style wheels and tires. There’s also a realistic fully-steerable tailwheel for complete maneuverability.
Simple to assemble with common tools, and no glue required for the entire aircraft. You can even convert from wheels to floats in a matter of minutes with just a screwdriver.
