HISTORY
This is a scale model of the famous Howard Hughes H-1 from the Golden Age of
Aviation, the 20 year period between the end of World War I and the beginning of World
War II. Though originally designed simply for speed, the H-1 had many new features
that influenced the design of high- performance aircraft for years, including retractable
landing gear, gently curving wing fillets, rivets and joints that were flush with the
aircraft's skin, and ailerons that could be drooped when the flaps were fully extended,
improving lift along the full length of the wing for takeoffs and landings.
The original H-1 is now on display in the Golden Age of Flight gallery in the Smithsonian
National Air and Space Museum.
The 1st version of Maxford USA H-1 was released after nearly 2 years in development
and true to the original design, it is stable at both low and high speeds, features
concealed rudder and elevator controls, the new developed Max Cowling fiberglass
cowl, magnetic battery hatch, spring loaded tail wheel and optional retractable landing
gear.
Version 2 is the new improved version make this unique ARF even better than the 1st
version and now the retracts are included and fully installed.
