DHC-2 Beaver ARF Park Flyer
The Beaver was created by De Havilland of Canada to be the perfect bush plane. Its designers knew a lot about wilderness flying living in the shadow of the Great White North and built the Beaver to be exceptionally rugged and powerful. Entering service in 1946, it quickly established itself on backwoods routes throughout Canada and Alaska. It went wherever the roads didn’t, including lakes when retrofitted with floats. This airborne pack mule still flies in remote areas today, carrying fisherman to weeklong getaways or island-hopping tourists in the Caribbean. Wherever people are looking to enjoy a secluded slice of the great outdoors, chances are a Beaver is taking them there. It’s only fitting that such a plane be GWS’s newest park flyer subject.
Designed for those afternoon getaways to the local park, the GWS Beaver park flyer looks like a baby bush plane. Its all-foam fuselage is molded to look like the real thing and comes with a realistic looking cowl. No painting is required; decals are included for extra detail. Assembly can be completed in just a couple of short evening sessions.
A 3-channel radio system, micro flight pack, and charger are required to complete assembly. GWS has designed two new flight packs specifically for use with the Beaver. These come with just about everything needed for the onboard electronics, including the ICS100 electric speed control, two servos, a R4N micro receiver, and a 600mAh battery pack. A powerful EPS300C power system consisting of a 370-type electric motor mated to a gear reduction drive comes in the kit. This all-in-one unit simply pops onto the model’s stick motor mount and can be easily swapped for a different EPS system, should the modeler want to experiment with different prop and gear reduction combinations.
We flight tested the Beaver in calm conditions using a GWS Naro flight pack with both the 600mAh and 270mAh 7.2V battery pack. Naturally, the biggest difference was in

Great plane fun to built
By Patricia A. Coats (fl)
The dhc-2 beaver is a very good plane to get for someone who wants to learn how to fly and built a plane. It does`int come with everything such as the transmitter, battery pack, receiver, servos, charger,and speed controller.
It is allot cheaper to buy them separately from different sites then to buy it all together. And the glue it comes with takes a while to dry so if you need to glue something quick use super glue. I thought it was a little weired how everything came separately but about a weak i found out that you can get it at hobby shops.
And i give this plane 5 stars because it fly`s so hi. The directions is a little weired and i had a problem with the push rods.
now i now one goes trough the side and one goes trough the top. Great Plane Five Stars!
