In addition, the Havoc's size and wing loading allows easy adaptation to FREE FLIGHT ELECTRIC using KP-01 electric motors.

  • Design can be flown as Rubber, FF Electric or Electric RC

  • Plug-in Landing Gear:  Wheels up, Flying Wheels down, Display

  • Instructions for building 3 blade semi-scale, contra rotating props (parts included)

  • Effective freewheeling system designed for rubber power

  • Simple canopy fabrication

  • Warp resistant, symmetrical stab and rudder

The largest user of the A-20 Havocs was the Russian Air Force. Over 3000 of all types were sent via lend-lease to Russia. The Russians used them extensively in the ground attack role, in particular the battle for Stalingrad. They were also used as torpedo bombers against the German naval units in the Black and Baltic seas. The Russian pilots praised the Havocs for their speed, maneuverability and rugged construction.
