Gloster Meteor

Gloster Meteor

The Gloster Meteor was an early jet fighter developed at the end of the second world war. With two engines for adequate performance, the meteor was used to shoot down V-1 flying bombs.

Flying

The model is easy to fly, but ailerons are a little slow to react due to the large engines on each wing. A fast aircraft, with low wing loading, allowing for low landing speeds.

A set of vintage instruments really enhances this model.
