An elegant and pretty model of the evergreen Taylorcraft BC-12D, designed by Pat Tritle for electric power using a GWS IPS-S1 drive unit, 700mAh 2S Li-Po and three-channel R/C. Designed to use stock off the shelf flying hardware for easy affordable flight.

A brief history of the model:
The Taylorcraft BC-12D is a beloved American light aircraft introduced in the 1940s, known for its graceful lines, efficient high-wing design, and excellent flight characteristics. A popular choice among private pilots for decades, the BC-12D exemplifies post-war general aviation simplicity and reliability — ideal for training, recreation, and short cross-country flights.

Price for kit also price for engine &bat.ect.

R.brown / 9th September 2019

This is the price just for the kit itself.

I'm afraid we don't sell the "drive unit" needed to get this up and running - so whilst we can help with batteries, radio gear, etc - the actual motor setup would need to be a scratch built unit.

is this a look at model or does it fly if so what electronics are needed ?

Ron Rhodes / 28th September 2016

These are primarily built by modellers for display purposes - however you could modify it for radio control.

If it's not something you have a good level of experience with though, we'd recommend going for a decent ARTF or RTF plane. For more assistance by all means feel free to contact our team!
