Description:

This is a well known model from the days of beginning
aviation. The Curtiss D Pusher was in use in both civil
and military roles. It was designed as a two-seater
with ailerons and a tricycle undercarriage. The elevons
were operated by the pilot's shoulders. The aircraft
was build in sections so it was easy to disassemble and
transport. The Curtiss Waterplane 1911 is nearly the
same design.
