The Blackburn Firebrand was delayed in development while the Air Ministry decided on what type of engine would be best for it. The final examples were excellent airplanes. This model has a 50" span and is very light.
My plans are to have this plane finished and flying at the Mid West Nats in Waverly Nebraska, September 8&9th. A complete flight report will follow shortly.
The photos of the model you see here were taken after three building nights. This represents approximately 8 hours of time. The wings are pre-sheeted with obechi and the glass fuse is wonderful to work with.
