Lavochkin La-7
Even though the La-7 represented a development of the La-5, it was designed as a single seat interceptor and fighter-bomber, and was intended to complement the La-5, instead of replacing it. It featured metal spars and stringers, considerably more poser, an aerodynamically clean fuselage and more powerful armament.
When it flew for the first time in November of 1943, it made an outstanding impression. It went into service in May of 1944, and was in production until the beginning of 1946, in this time 5.753 units were built.
Among them was the 2 seater La-7UTI trainer version, as well as several experimental variants, including the La-7TK with twin turbochargers for high altitude flight, the La-7ASh-71 with 1.491 kW (2.000 HP), the La-7ASh83 with a 1.417 kW (1.900 HP) lightweight power plant, the La-7R, equipped with a liquid fueled RD-1 rocket engine in the tail, and the La-7S or La-7PuVRD with 2 ramjet engines mounted under the wings.

| Lavochkin La-7 |
The Lavochkin La-7 is a true to scale reproduction of the russian fighter airplane. All rivets, sheeting joints, as well as access and maintenance panels are reproduced. In the areas where the original had metal sheeting, the typical sheet metal look is also reproduced. The control surfaces have the fabric texture of the original.
The fuselage is manufactured in the sandwich-technique. All wing segments, the elevator and horizontal stabilizer and all control surfaces and flaps are maufactured as a Herex sandwich under vacuum.
This way, these components achieve a high strength at a low weight.
The formers, spars, ribs, joiner receptacles, servo bays, and hardpoints for landing gear attachment and flight control surface hinging are laminated into the components. Also, reinforcements are integrated where required.
Due to the high degree of prefabrication of the molded parts, the angles of attack for the wing and horizontal stabilizer are already established, and the Lavochkin La-7 can be ready in a relatively short time.
For building intructions, the kit includes a CD with many pictures of build, which can be printed out, if so desired.
The Lavochkin La-7 is manufactured in 2 scales:
1:3,5 scale, with 280 cm (110 in.) wing span, weight approximately 20-25 kg (44-55 lbs.),
for engines in the 120 to 250 cc (7.3-15 cid) range
1:4,5 scale, with 218 cm (85 in.) wing span, weight approximately 12-14 kg (26-30 lbs.),
for engines in the 50 to 80 cc (3-5 cid) range
Projekt status: in production starting April 2007
Detailed info about the design and development of the ScaleWings models can be found in the corresponding sections of this website.
The whole story of the development of the Lavochkin La-7 can be seen in the Warbirdforum at the reportage.
