Warchałowski V / Vindobona Racer / VI
The Warchalowski V was built by Autoplan, Austria.
From 1910 to 1912 Adolf Warchałowski started designing and building aircraft based roughly on Farman design. Within two years he built 15 aircraft that differed with various details. Warchłowski’s planes were highly succesful for a time and gained several records of Austria.
The Warchalowski V (“Vindobona Racer”), was flown by the constructor on June 7, 1911. It was a development of the Warchalowski IV and was reported to have a single rudder and a Gnôme engine. Examples were built. Two Warchalowski V aircraft took top positions in the Air Meeting in Wiener-Neustadt (11-18.06.1911). On 9.08.1911, a night flight over Vienna was made on a plane equipped with headlights. The VI version was reported to have a single horizontal tail was used and a Daimler inline engine. In August and September 1911, three examples were built. On this plane, in August and September 1911, the constructor participated in military exercises. One was broken down by J. Sablatnig on October 1, 1911, a second was crashed by Sablatnig on August 19, 1911 during a flight around lower Austria, where he reached a speed of 106 km/h.
Warchałowski II
From 1910 to 1912 Adolf Warchałowski started designing and building aircraft based roughly on Farman design. Within two years he built 15 aircraft that differed with various details. Warchłowski’s planes were highly succesful for a time and gained several records of Austria.
WAR Zero
The scale Zero is built around a plywood box core and covered with styrofoam and fiberglass. Plans have been produced for this and two other ½-scale World War II replicas by War Aircraft Replicas. All use the same common wooden fuselage box and wing spar construction in order to duplicate the various fighter aircraft. Polyurethane foam is shaped and covered with high-strength fiberglass cloth and laminating epoxy resin to form a rigid, yet light structure. Landing gears are of air/oil oleo type, with either electrical or manual retract and have a built-in emergency release. Engines vary from 65 hp to 125 hp, which accounts for variations in perform¬ance. Authentic three and four bladed props are available.
Features fully retractable landing gear, sliding canopy, and detachable wings.
