Junker JU-52 1630mm (64") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1022-001
Development of the Ju 52 commenced during 1930, headed by German aeronautical engineer Ernst Zindel. The aircraft's design incorporated a corrugated duralumin metal skin as a strengthening measure, which was very unusual at the time. It was initially designed with a single engine, however, it was produced in quantity as a trimotor. The primary early production model, the Ju 52\/3m, was principally operated as a 17-seat airliner or utility transport aircraft by various civil operators during the 1930s. Following the rise of Nazi Germany, thousands of Ju 52s were procured as a staple military transport of the nation. The Ju 52\/3mg7e was the principal production model.
The Ju 52 was in production between 1931 and 1952. In a civilian role, it flew with over 12 airlines, including Swissair and Deutsche Luft Hansa, as both a passenger carrier and a freight hauler. In a military role, large numbers flew with the Luftwaffe, being deployed on virtually all fronts of the Second World War as a troop and cargo transport; it was also briefly used as a medium bomber.
The Nexa Junker JU-52 is an award-winning .20 size electric scale series transport aircraft with a 1630mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood and fully covered. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes a two piece wing design with aluminum wing joiner, plastic cowlings, dummy radial engines, flaps, a large battery hatch and pre-hinged and installed control surfaces. A rarity in the hobby, this model would be the talk of any RC airfield.
