The Taube (“
dove
” in German) was the first military airplane mass-produced in Germany. Designed in
1909 by Ignaz “Igo” Etrich of Austria-Hungary and first flown in 1910, wires supported and controlled
warping of the wing tips, and the horizontal stabilizer’s trailing edge could also be warped up and down.
On November 1, 1911, the world's first aerial bomb was dropped from a Taube by Italian aviator Giulio
Gavotti. German pilots flying a Taube spotted the advancing Imperial Russian Army at the start of the Battle
of Tannenberg between Germany and Russia.
We are pleased to acknowledge and
thank Robert A. Lippman for encouraging us
to develop and introduce this semi-scale
model of a Rumpler factory-produced Taube.
This is the first and only radio-controlled
ARF model with functional wing and tail
warping. Built to about 1/9
th
scale, it has
pre-installed control cables and a pilot’s
control stick that moves the elevator. It also
includes scale-looking articulated landing
gear and a spring-loaded tail skid. It is
constructed mainly of balsa, plywood and composite materials. Assembly is surprisingly easy for such a
full-featured model. A dummy engine, vintage-style spoked wheels and pilot figures are available as
optional upgrades.
We invite you to enjoy the pride of ownership and the joy of flying this beautiful ARF
semi-scale model
of the famous
Rumpler Taube
