DeHavilland DH-88 Comet


SUMMARY

All up, this project was a great learning experience with the model flying very well when sorted out. It is not a project for novices.

It is a moderately complex model to build and fly but seeing the Comet in the air with the sound of each motor doing 12000 rpm and imagining what took place back in 1934 is a very satisfying experience.

If good looks, nostalgia and a good burst of speed ever came together in one aircraft, the DH-88 Comet has to be one of the all time classic machines from aviations golden era. A modeller with moderately good skills will have little trouble recreating and flying this beautiful aircraft.
