The famous ace S E McCudden wrote of the SE5, "....a most efficient fighting machine, far and away superior to the enemy machines of that period...". The model is also impressive; manoeuvrable with good speed range and very forgiving in the hands of the less experienced.
Late afternoon on a warm autumn day, a flat calm, 1/3 rd throttle, just see how smoothly you can fly the evening patrol.
The SE5A became a firm favourite with its pilots for its stability and ease of flying in the First World War where it was the most successful British fighter. The long nose and generous dihedral of the original make the SE5A an ideal subject for R/C modellers.
