Tony Ray’s Aero Models DH.53 Humming Bird

Balsa Laser Cut Kit for Radio Control

This kit is an R/C model of the DH.53 Humming Bird. In response to the Daily Mail ‘Light Aeroplane Competition of 1923’, De Havilland built two DH.53s. The DH.53 was a low-wing single-seat monoplane powered by a Douglas 750 cc motorcycle engine. At Lympne, in October 1923, the DH.53s did not win any prizes but gave an impressive performance for a light aircraft. The Air Ministry became interested in the design and ordered eight in 1924 as communications and training aircraft for the Royal Air Force. The kit comes with all the parts and components displayed in the gallery photo.

The model can also be converted to rubber powered free flight for those with appropriate model building skills.

Finally, the kit can be built as a great looking static display model.

Wingspan: 500mm (19.69″)

Length: 312mm (12.28″)

Average Flying Weight: 52g

A PDF copy of the building instructions is available. Please provide your email address so we can send you a copy of the instruction manual after purchase.
