Our kits are designed for the serious modeller with a
little advanced knowledge.
The 311 is
a technical model with many parts. The construction methodology
used in our models is unique in the modelling industry. Our
method provides a model that is easy to maintain with the ability
for part replacement.
Construction The 311 has
been designed using the experience of the successful 307 &
309 models. A comprehensive manual is provided showing
step-by-step assembly. There are no wooden parts in this model.
You will be required to have some basic workshop engineering skills
such as being able to use a drill press and
tap threads. Construction is a solid project which will
keep you busy for 4 - 6 weeks depending upon your skill
level. All surface finishing material is provided with the
exception of paint. All hardware such as nuts, bolts, and
control rods are provided in the kit. The 311 is a "work-in-progress"
model. For this reason EDFmodel reserves the right to alter
design specifications without notice.

Wingspan 6.5 ft (1970
mm)
Length 7.3 ft (2220
mm)
AUW 4.75 Kg (10.5
lb) |

Fuselage
The fuselage shells
are vacuum molded. The fuselage shell is loosely
assembled to formers and a carbon chassis. Upon impact the
shell can move slightly to absorb some forces. The model is either
handled under the wings or at those points along the fuselage with
formers.

Fans
& nacelles
The 311 is designed to accept
two in-board working engines and two outer dummy
engines.
Four 90mm
intake diameter WeMoTec Midi fans are required to complete the 311.
The kit nacelles are designed to fit this fan with easy maintenance
with good impact strength.
See below hardware list.

Wings
Five piece design built
up as one complete wing, Clark-Y section, CNC cut styrene, carbon
spars, wing area 5.4 Sq. ft. Wing upper surface is plastic covered
with gap-less aileron hinging.

Retractable
undercarriage
The 311 is supplied with twelve 2" foam main wheels
and two 1-1/2" nose wheels.
This combination will easily take-off from well
trimmed grass.
The ground static photos of
the 311 illustrate the model with a third centre wheel unit. There is
insufficient room in the fuselage for this unit to retract and it
is simply removed prior to
flying.
The kit is designed to accept Robart mechanical retracts,
which are required to be purchased separately. The kit includes
all components required to assemble the Robart retract
units.
The retract door mechanism designs are
left to the individual modeller as a completely separate design
project, not covered in the manual.

Decals
A standard set are
supplied that includes the fuselage doors, windows and the cockpit
windows. It is left up to the modeller to design their own airliner
livery decals. EDFmodel does not supply decals for any
airline. |

Transportation to the
airfield
The one piece wing and fuselage
will fit into a family wagon car (rear seats
down).
