The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was a twin-engine, two-seat, mid-wing British aircraft that was adapted to serve as a bomber, fighter, night fighter, high-altitude fighter, and also a photo-reconnaissance plane for the Allies during World War II.

The construction of the Mosquito was built of a frame of wood, with a skin of plywood, that was glued and screwed together. Its wooden construction gave it many nicknames such as the Timber Terror, the Loping Lumberyard, and the most well known, the Wooden Wonder.

The Mossie, as it was also affectionately known as, was designed in 1938 and entered service in 1941. The Mossie was produced in three countries, England, Canada and Australia, and in 42 versions which accumulated to 7,780 total aircraft built for air forces around the world.

As a night fighter the Mosquito downed more than 600 Luftwaffe planes over Germany and intercepted just as many V-1 missiles (buzz bombs) in the air. As a bomber, it proved to be able to carry twice the bomb load for which it was designed.

The Flite Test DH.98 Mosquito is a very smooth flyer. Lock in the throttle at 50% and you've got perfect scale flight or punch the throttle for tried and true Mossie power.
