Airbus A300
The Airbus A300 is powered by two engines. It became the first wide cabin aircraft of its type in the world.
The first Airbus A300 was produced in 1974 with production continuing until the last one came off of the assembly line in 2007. During that period some 561 Airbus A300 aircraft of all types were produced.
Chris, aka Demondriver of RC Groups, sent us the above picture. He tells us that he built the great looking RC Airbus A300 for a customer. It is 84 in. long, has a wingspan of 72 in., is made from foam, and is powered by 90 mm fans. The thrust produced by the engines is about double the weight of the RC airplane. Ready to fly weight is approximately 7 1/2 lbs.
Chris, aka Demondriver, posted numerous videos of his Airbus A300 build on YouTube.
