GLOSTER GLADIATOR MK1
DURAFLY 1100MM PLUG AND FLY
INTRODUCTION:
SPECIFICATION:
The Gloster Gladiator was a British built biplane fighter, it was used by the Royal Air Force and
Fleet Air Arm during the late 1930's. It was the RAF's last, and ultimate biplane fighter airplane
to be manufactured, but it was also the first to feature an enclosed cockpit.
The Durafly version of this iconic biplane is a replica of the Shuttleworth Collections Gloster
Gladiator Mk1 "K9785", believed to be the only airworthy example flying in the world today.
"K9785" depicts the markings of No. 73 Squadron, that operated Gloster Gladiators at RAF
Mildenhall in England from 1937 to 1938.
The Durafly Gloster Gladiator is manufactured in strong EPO foam, to the usual high standards
you have come to expect from this range of RC airplanes. As all other Durafly models, it comes
"Plug N Fly", this means it is supplied with an easy to assemble airframe, installed motor and
ESC, and pre-installed servos. The attention to detail is superb from the blistered cowl, scale
exhausts, and scale streamlined landing gear with scale wheels. The ribbed wings, tail, and
stringered fuselage depicts a fabric covered airframe, and blistered machine gun housings make
this a model you will be proud to own.
