The 303 airliner
is a technical model with many parts and is not a beginners model.
This is not a ARTF, nor is it a 'foamy' kit. Construction will
keep you busy for some
time.

Wingspan 42" (1062 mm), length 41" (1055
mm)
Weight
Ranging 985 -1100g (2.1 - 2.4
lb) depending on setup, wing loading 58-65g/dm (19.3-21.6 oz/sq ft).

lower) with a minimum thrust weight ratio not less than
38%.
Wings
Five piece design built up as
one complete wing, Clark-Y section, CNC cut styrene, carbon spars,
wing area 1.8 Sq. ft. Wing upper surface is plastic covered with
gap-less aileron hinging.
Control
surfaces All moving tail
plane, outboard ailerons and steerable nose
wheel.
U/C Fixed with steerable nose
wheel. The rear U/C is supplied twelve 1.25" foam wheels. The
model will require a smooth

cockpit decals. It is left up to the modeller to design their own
airliner livery decals.
Construction A comprehensive

a combination of traditional construction techniques and new
EDFmodel assembly techniques. The result is a model with spare
part replacement abilities and a good improved impact resistance
rating. There are no wooden parts in this model.
