Nieuport 28
Few,
if any, Nieuport 28's saw service with the French Air Force because they
didn't consider it up to front line service. However, when no other
fighter was readily available, they were purchased by the United States for
the pursuit squadrons of the AEF. America's first fighter aces got
their first victories flying Nieuports. The 28 had an unfortunate
tendency to shed the fabric from the top of the upper wing in a dive.
Your Rough and Ready Aviation replica has no such tendency. It is
perhaps the smoothest flyer in the Dawn Patrol Series

Specifications:
- Unique multi-layer Fuselage construction is
light, stiff and has
better resistance to twisting than "X" or carbon braced fuselages.
- Fuselage design insures proper
component placement and allows partial concealment of the receiver,
servos and battery and completely conceals the wiring and ESC. No
wires hanging loose!
- The Fuselage is pre-assembled in
factory jigs to ensure accuracy.
- Custom aluminum motor mount and hardware.
- Custom formed aluminum landing gear and
axle assembly for strength and good ground handling. No flimsy
gear here. Plywood mounts and large, light weight wheels are
included.
- Construction is from 6mm Depron with 3mm tail
surfaces.
- All Depron parts are machine cut and
"keyed" for easy, accurate assembly.
- Wings are machine to accept the supplied
1/8" carbon tube spars, just CA the spars in place.
- The wings have servo pockets machined for
correct servo placement.
- Laser cut plywood control horns are
included.
- Pushrods with "Z' bends and Micro "EZ"
connectors are included.
- Ultra strong, easy to install Mylar hinges.
- All necessary hardware to compete the
airframe is included.
- And best of all, super quick and easy
assembly. Your Rough & Ready
Aviation Nieuport 28 can be ready to fly in less than a day!
