The Gloster Gladiator was a British-built biplane fighter, it was used by the Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm during the late 1930s. It was the RAF's last, and ultimate biplane fighter airplane to be manufactured, but it was also the first to feature an enclosed cockpit.


The Gloster Gladiator is an unusual and rarely modeled subject. The Durafly version of this iconic biplane is a replica of the Shuttleworth Collections Gloster Gladiator Mk1 "K9785", believed to be the only airworthy example flying in the world today. "K9785" depicts the markings of No. 73 Squadron that operated Gloster Gladiators at RAF Mildenhall in England from 1937 to 1938.


The model is manufactured in strong EPO foam, to the usual high standards you have come to expect from this range of RC airplanes. As with most other Durafly models, it comes "Plug N Fly". This means it is supplied with an easy-to-assemble airframe, powerful pre-installed 3719-770KV brushless motor, Aerostar 40A ESC, and 4 pre-installed 9g digital servos. A vinyl decal sheet is included, these will need to be applied during the building process, this gives you the choice of using the silver finish as a base for creating your own color scheme. Once the model is assembled, all you require is your choice of 4ch or more receiver and a 2200mAh 4S (14.8V) LiPo battery.


The attention to detail is superb from the blistered cowl, scale exhausts, and scale streamlined landing gear with large diameter scale wheels. The ribbed wings, tail, and stringered fuselage depict a fabric-covered airframe, and blistered machine gun housings make this a model you will be proud to own. Scale flying wires are also supplied, the model can be flown with or without them but they do add that realistic scale touch to the Gladiator.


The Gladiator has very benign handling characteristics with an almost non-existent stall, and at half power, it flies very scale-like. At full power it becomes a very agile and aerobatic sports model, big loops, axial rolls, and even knife-edge can be performed, it is great fun to fly. So it is not only for the scale buffs, it will also appeal to the sports pilots as well.


The 1930s was the golden age of aviation, capture these halcyon days with the beautiful Durafly Gloster Gladiator.

One of the best flying biplanes ever.

Apr 04, 2025

One of the best flying biplanes I've ever flown easy to do knife edges with very little coupling. Flies slow, flies fast, inverted is great. A couple of improvements would be a real battery holder instead of a block of foam and the decals are a real pain three layers which should be fine but they don't stick well unless you use an monocoat type iron then clear latex varnish. It is a great value and the flyer. Would buy again.

Durafly products

Feb 21, 2025

As always Durafly produces amazing products, but something always happens. It's small but happens. For example the Tundra, just a lovely aircraft so when motor burned out on bind I just replaced motor great plane. Slowpoke, takes a little getting used to so when binding, bound but no power. Upon inspection esc was bad had extra so no big deal. Gladiator "OUTSTANDING" looks and performs just as it should. All in all I will be buying more products from Hobby King. Thumbs up to Hobby King. Keep up the good work Stewart.
