Our model Hurricane is patterned after the plane flown by Douglas Bader when he was a Squadron Leader during the Battle of Britain. Built to a scale of one inch to the foot, it can ‑accommodate any glow plug engine from .29 to .60 cubic inch displacement. The ideal size is between .35 and .40 c.i.d. While the plans show all‑balsa structure for durability, the meticulous enthusiast can simulate fabric covering on the wings by cementing plastic fish line leader to the model as shown, then applying numerous coats of balsa sealer to fair these into the wing surface.
