Designed by Austrian Igo Etrich, the Taube is a bird shaped aircraft from the early days of flight. It was used by the Germans in WWI for reconnaissance and training. Etrich's first Taube was built in 1910, a precursor of the nimble fighters of WWI. This kit is a model of the most widely produced version, the 1913 two-seat military monoplane.

item B331 Price: $34.95Chuck Duncan's electric r/c Taube conversion started life with a 4.5 ohm pager motor and 16/1 gearing of a 6/3 prop and 32 grams all up weight. In January 2006 he made some changes ..."I converted it to a 7mm pager motor and picked up about 30% more power and only about 1 gram of weight (33 grams all up weight). Flies for about 10 minutes on a single 170 mAh LiPo cell. So now it flies like a bird. Flying site is the National Building Museum in Washington DC." -Chuck Duncan
