Description

Messerchmitt Me 163B Flying Wing Composite 1540mm (ARF). Condition is "New". Shipped with UPS Ground.
The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, designed by Alexander Lippisch, was a German rocket-powered fighter aircraft. It is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft ever to have been operational. Its design was revolutionary, and the Me 163 was capable of performance unrivaled at the time. German test pilot Heini Dittmar in early July 1944 reached 1,130 km/h (700 mph), not broken in terms of absolute speed until November 1947. Over 300 aircraft were built; however, the Komet proved ineffective as a fighter, having been responsible for the destruction of only about nine Allied aircraft.
Want something different from a scale model? Look no further than the ME-163 Komet. You have it all, flying wing, powered glider, and scale model all wrapped into one.
The Messerschmitt ME-163 comes almost ready to fly, needing only a few evenings of work to complete. The fuslage and vertical fin are all molded 1-piece fiberglass that comes pre-painted from the factory. Plug in wing panels are easily secured through the quick release hatch in the fuselage. Tail dragger landing gear allows easy rise off ground take-offs. Much like the full scale Komet. The large vertical fin and functional rudder contribute to a excellent flying model. A complete hardware pack including fuel tank, engine mount, and spinner is included.
