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.

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 DSR 46 retracts.
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).
