Description
This is a reproduction of the popular ARF Cavalier from the 1970s, made with modern technology.
The original Pilot Cavalier was produced as an ARF finished aircraft for F3A competitions from 1968 to 1972, and it is an aircraft that made OK Model famous around the world, achieving top rankings in the then-world-leading US National Championships.
This memorable aircraft has been reproduced in limited production as the "Cavalier Classic" to commemorate the company's 60th anniversary.
The Cavalier Classic utilizes the latest in aircraft production technology for the fuselage, main and tail fin materials, and manufacturing methods, while the aircraft's dimensions and main and tail fin airfoil shapes are faithfully reproduced based on the original aircraft. It also comes standard with a dedicated 63mm spinner (propeller nut size UNF1/4-28, compatible with OS-MAX55AX) machined from original aluminum, recreating the original shape. A further detail is the inclusion of a reprint of the nostalgic sticker that was included with OK Model kits from the early 1970s.
This product is equipped with fixed landing gear, as per the original specifications, to recreate the original Pilot Cavalier.
Product Details
Like the original from the 1970s, the engine is mounted 20 degrees up from the side mount, making it less likely to over-choke and improving starting performance.
The machined aluminum spinner matches the retro silhouette. A UNF1/4-28 nut is included for the OS MAX-55AX. Other engines may require additional nuts.
It is equipped with a 2-aileron servo for reliable linkage. Also, at the time, there were no retractable landing gear, and fixed landing gear was the standard.
The beautiful proportions and wing shape are also reproduced. At a time when there were no exponential controls in radio control systems, the wing shape demonstrated its characteristics.
