famous "American Classic" Beechcraft-18

"The Beechcraft Model 18 (or "Twin Beech", as it is also known) is a 6- to 11-seat, twin-engined, low-wing, tailwheel light aircraft manufactured by the Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita, Kansas. Continuously produced from 1937 to November 1969 (over 32 years, a world record at the time), over 9,000 were built, making it one of the world's most widely used light aircraft. Sold worldwide as a civilian executive, utility, cargo aircraft, and passenger airliner on tailwheels, nosewheels, skis, or floats, it was also used as a military aircraft."

Super nice landing and takeoff on water or regular runway - automatic extending flaps

This is my replica of the Beechcraft Model 18, one of the iconic American heritage, with over 9000 built. I have made the size, speed, and instruments as close as possible. Although it is a replica, it is an easy-flying plane. I enjoyed flying it. I tried to make the size similar to the original, but it is about nearly 3 feet (or 1 meter) larger overall, since it is hard to manage the blueprint.

Features:
  • Realistic smoke from the exhausts
  • custom landing gear, and the doors
  • six seating interior
  • Automatic extending flaps while landing and takeoff for more stability
  • Top speed 280 mph


Avionics from the 1940s
