Featuring an unconventional staggered wing layout and retractable landing gear, it combined elegant design with outstanding performance. The refined D17 version, powered by a Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney R-985 engine, gained fame through record-setting flights by Jackie Cochran and strong commercial success. With the outbreak of WWII, the Staggerwing served widely as a fast staff and communications aircraft, designated UC-43 in the USAAF, GB-1\/GB-2 in the U.S. Navy, and Traveller Mk.I in British service. Produced until 1949, it remains celebrated as one of aviation’s most beautiful aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore to read about the KIT \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scalemates.com\/fr\/kits\/roden-442-beechcraft-uc-43-staggerwing--120960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e, thanks to scalemates, a Belgian Scale modeling database\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RODEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53456027156826,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/IMG_2299_ac5c200e-7050-47a6-a11b-80678aa215dd.JPG?v=1769679184","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/maquette-a-monter-beechcraft-uc-43-staggerwing-beechcraft-17-uc-43-gb-2-traveler-mk-i-roden-n-442-1-48","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
