The CS-1 was designed by Dornier to be a replacement for the
much-vaunted Hansa Brandenburg W-29. However, not
withstanding, the incorporation of the highly successful
structural innovations pioneered by the Zeppelin Works, this
craft never made it into production. The CS-1’s design was a
radical departure from conventional structural techniques of
the day. This aircraft featured an all-metal structure along
with a stressed skin fuselage. The flying surfaces retained
the original doped linen covering.
This new Dare model, designed by Mike Midkiff, is a fine
performer and will be a welcome addition to your stable of
models.
This kit features all Laser Cut Parts (as do all Dare kits),
full size plans, instructions, covering tissue, excellent
sheet and stick balsa, wire, aluminum, and other usual
construction bits you expect to find in a Dare Design kit.
Modelers Note: The machine gun in the picture is not
included in the kit. The Lozenge Pattern covering
tissue (as seen in the picture) is not included in the kit.
