DHC-2 Beaver Whistler Air 1620mm (63.7″) Wingspan – ARF from Nexa – NXA1065-002
The Nexa DHC-2 Beaver Whistler Air is based on the single-engined, high-wing, propeller-driven STOL aircraft designed and built by de Havilland Canada. Commonly used as a bush plane, it has been deployed in a broad array of applications, ranging from cargo/passenger transport to crop dusting and aerial topdressing to civilian aviation.
The Nexa DHC-2 Beaver is a .46 size electric STOL aircraft with a 1620mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood and covered in the Kenmore Air livery. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes two piece wing with aluminum wing joiner, fiberglass cowl and operational pilot door. A large battery tray provides ample space for any size battery you require.
