Airbus A300
Being the first plane of Airbus in
1974 a total of 567 A300s has been produced. Nowadays many planes are being
converted from passenger to freighter configuration.
The modelplane has good flight
characteristics. The older variants A300B2 and A300B4 - usually
called A300B - are conventionally controlled by inboard and
outboard ailerons but the more advanced A300-600 is lacking the outboard
ailerons using the wing spoilers instead.
