Ilyushin 62
For many years the elegant looking
IL-62 was the standard long range aircraft of Aeroflot and other
The wing’s especially designed
leading edge gives outstanding low speed characteristics for the modelplane.
Also engine failure handling is easy because of the close to fuselage mounted
engines and the large vertical stabilizer. One might say that the IL-62 is the
best start-up airliner model. The all-moving horizontal stabilizer provides
good pitch control at all speeds.
