1910 Henri Farman. Radio control scale model 47" Wingspan Printed

1910 Henri Farman – RC Scale Gas Model Plans (47" Wingspan, for Enya .45 Power)
Full-Size Printed Plans for Radio Control

Step back in time to the pioneering days of flight with this faithful radio control scale model of the 1910 Henri Farman — a marvel of early aviation recreated for gas power and traditional building methods.

With transparent wings spreading 47 inches, this model captures the fragile, skeletal beauty of one of aviation’s earliest successes. Designed for an Enya .45 engine cleverly disguised in the nose, it brings vintage character and surprising lift in a design that’s as poetic in the air as it is on the bench.

“Transparent wings spread 47-inches to loft this fragile antique bird gently upward from the thrust of an Enya .45 cleverly disguised in the nose.
Indian Summer fades away and Fall gives way to Winter. It is a signal to return to the workbench. In search of an interesting project for the cold months ahead I came upon a layout of the 1910 Henri Farman…”

This is that project — a builder’s model meant for quiet afternoons, patient craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for aviation history. The Farman’s wire-braced structure, dual elevator planes, and exposed control geometry make for a stunning and unusual build that turns heads in the shop and at the field.

About the Model:

• 47" wingspan, ideal for Enya .45 or similar vintage glow engines

• Scale detailing reflects the delicate geometry and open framework of the original aircraft

• Designed for experienced builders comfortable with gas power and fine structure work

• Includes full-size printed plans with scale references and builder’s notes

This is not a fast build — it’s a rewarding one. A model like this invites attention to detail, hand-cut parts, and a calm pace. It’s a throwback to slower days and slower flights.

Start your winter build season with something truly special. The 1910 Henri Farman is more than a model — it’s a quiet return to aviation’s roots, and a beautiful reminder of why we build.
