Of course you then ask just what sort of thing he&#8217;d like, and he mentions QANTAS&#8230;. Ok, so that means that a simple trainer is out, but does it have to be THAT complicated?<\/p>\n<p>Of course it does, and he is after all, your son. So you agree.<\/p>\n<p>Well here it is.<\/p>\n<p>Designed for twin 70mm EDF, this model looks great and is still pretty simple to build. Please note however, this model has a simplified (flat-bottom) wing, and does NOT have any allowance for retractable undercarriage &#8211; this is a fixed or no-gear model.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve recently had a chap who contacted me and complained bitterly that this was not an accurate scale model&#8230;. What part of &#8220;first model for my son&#8221; implied that this would be anything other than a simplified model? Having said that, the outline is 100% accurate for a 737-300, so at least it looks right once in the air. Just don&#8217;t expect it to be a fully functioning wing with leading edge slats and flaps, and retracts etc.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking of doing a larger scale model of something like a -400, or even a P8, but that&#8217;s in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meanwhile, please don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m trying to mislead you, and please don&#8217;t winge and bitch that it&#8217;s not what you are looking for!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wingspan &#8211; 1360mm<br \/>\nLength &#8211; 1500mm<br \/>\nPower &#8211; 2 x 70mm EDF<br \/>\nWeight 2.5 &#8211; 3.5kg<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Wing-plan.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-309 \" src=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Wing-plan-300x113.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Wing-plan-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Wing-plan-1024x387.png 1024w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Wing-plan-250x94.png 250w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Wing-plan-150x56.png 150w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Wing-plan.png 2036w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Fuselage-plan.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-308 \" src=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Fuselage-plan-300x117.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"501\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Fuselage-plan-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Fuselage-plan-1024x401.png 1024w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Fuselage-plan-250x97.png 250w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Fuselage-plan-150x58.png 150w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/B737-Fuselage-plan.png 2026w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Laser-cut short kits are available.<\/p>\n<p>Just <a href=\"mailto:greg@wordpress-698666-2345628.cloudwaysapps.com\">email<\/a> us for details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/boeing-737-edf\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":72,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/97"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/97\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10144,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/97\/revisions\/10144"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
