The Antonov An-2 (nicknamed Annushka” or “Annie,” with the NATO reporting name Colt) is a
single-engine biplane utility and agricultural aircraft designed in the USSR in 1946. Besides being used as
an agricultural and light-utility transport, it has been used as a parachute-drop aircraft and many other
tasks suited to such a large, slow-flying biplane; its slow flight ability made it suited for short,
unimproved fields; and some variants were built for cold weather and other extreme environments.
The Guinness Book of World Records states that the 45-year production run for the An-2 was for a
time the longest ever for any aircraft exceeded only recently by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules.
By 1960 the USSR had produced over 5,000 of this aircraft. Since 1960, most An-2s were built at the
WSK aerospace factory in the city of Mielec in southeastern Poland with over 13,000 made there before
full production ended in 1991. Limited production from parts stock and maintenance coverage continued
until 2001, when four were produced for Vietnam. China is also licensed to build a version of the An-2
known as the Shijiazhuang Y-5.
The RC version we designed is approximately 1/11 scale, with a 62” wingspan. It gives customers the
choice of electric or glow-power systems, and, like the original, this ARF radio-controlled An-2 also
includes fully functional flaps and is available in both land and water-based versions.
We invite you to enjoy the pride of ownership and the joy of flying
this beautiful model of the Antonov An-2 Russian biplane.
