The DH Vampire was the 2nd jet to enter service with the RAF and was unusual for the time in that it was powered by a single jet engine, this allowed for a small and lightweight fighter aircraft, to maximise efficiency the jet pipe was kept short, hence the distinctive twin boom tail, all of these factors helped the Vampire to become the first aircraft in RAF service to exceed 500mph. De Havilland employed some techniques from the construction of the famous Mosquito, wood was therefore used in the construction of this classic jet! The Vampire broke several records in its time and was the first jet aircraft to land on a carrier as well as being the first jet to complete a Trans-Atlantic flight, the Vampire became a huge success and served with many air forces around the world.

The Durafly Vampire is made from tough EPO foam and is superbly finished with waterslide decals. As well as looking the part, it is easy to assemble, this ARF version is ideal for those wanting a hand-launch model, the kit even comes with 2 retract blanking plugs to eliminate any ugly holes in the wing, substantial undercarriage legs are also supplied for either making fixed under-carriage or for using with your own retracts. The comprehensive hardware kit also includes an excellent 70mm Fan unit that allows you to choose your own motor & ESC.

Jets are about performance and the Durafly Vampire will not disappoint with the right set up it, it also has to be one of the easiest scale jets to hand-launch and as it is also almost impossible to stall with an amazing off-power glide, it is the perfect "belly land" EDF jet. There is no doubt, the Durafly Vampire offers an amazing combination for a scale jet of practicality, price and quality, with its classic looks, it will stand out at any airfield, ideal for aspiring jet jockeys, a must for any jet fan!
