F-14 Tomcat Jolly Rogers 6 Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF Twin 60mm Top Gun

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:18:03 +0000

]]>

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep winged aircraft. It was the United States Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform from 1974 to 2006. In 1986, the F-14 was the main aircraft featured in the Tom Cruise film Top Gun, spawning a surge in U.S. Navy recruiting.

The F-14 Tomcat was designed as both an air superiority fighter and a long-range naval interceptor, it has a two seat cockpit with a canopy that gives all-round visibility. The Tomcat's defining feature is its variable geometry wings that swing automatically during flight; for high-speed intercept, they are swept back, and they then swing forward again for lower speed flight. It has a maximum speed of Mach 2.34 (1,544 mph) at high altitude, and has a service ceiling of 50,000 ft.

This incredible jet aircraft is equipped with an internal 20 mm M61 Vulcan Gatling-type gun mounted on the left side, and can carry AIM-54 Phoenix, AIM-7 Sparrow, and AIM-9 Sidewinder anti-aircraft missiles.

Now for the details on the F-14 Jolly Rogers which you can fly! Like all the planes in the Starmax range, the F-14 is finished in the factory to a high standard and represents an excellent replica of the real aircraft. But this one is special, not only does it look like the real McCoy but it shares most of the functionality of the real thing too. The variable geometry or swing-wings on this model jet actually work, as does the landing gear, thanks to its 6 channel electronics. You can control each position of the wings from fully open to fully retracted. How good does this jet look with the wings fully retracted?!

The F-14 Jolly Rogers is an extremely high spec model; it features twin 60mm EDF jets, twin ESCs and a massive 3200mAh battery, making it very quick.

This model is an amazing 3D aerobatic aircraft, and capable of incredible speed. The twin engined punch that this plane packs allows it to perform a full aerobatic display: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible. If you're really good you will be able to perform the famous 'Cobra Manoeuvre' with this Tomcat.

This plane is 90% assembled and so only a few minutes of final finishes are needed before you can fly. Also everything you need is in the box, apart from 8 AA batteries, which you'll need to power the radio contol transmitter.

This jet comes with a 2.4G radio which means the range is longer and more stable plus you do not have to worry about interference from other fliers. It is also equipped with a powerful brushless motor, for the best performance. The plane is made from strong but lightweight foam that is more resistant to crashes and gives easier stable flight even in windy conditions. This aeroplane can take off from the ground or can be hand launched.

A-10 Warthog Desert Camo 5 Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF Twin Jet 64mm

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:10:48 +0000

]]>

The A-10 Thunderbolt II (also known as the Warthog) is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft designed to provide close air support of ground forces. It was the first USAF aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.

The A-10 has superb manoeuverability even at low speeds and altitude, this is due to its large wing area, high wing aspect ratio, and large ailerons. This design also enables short takeoffs and landings, allowing it to operate from the smallest and most basic airfields.

Like all the planes in the Starmax range, the A-10 is finished in the factory to a high standard and represents an excellent replica of the real aircraft. Extra features like the realistic landing gear, and the clear cockpit complete with pilot add to the authenticity and realism present in this model.

This model features twin 64mm EDF jets, twin ESCs and a massive 2500mAh battery. It also has 5 channels which allows an electric landing gear retracting mechanism.

However, not only does it look fantastic, it is an amazing 3D aerobatic aircraft, and capable of incredible speed. The twin engined punch that this plane packs allows it to perform a full aerobatic display: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible.

F-15 Desert Vectored Thrust 5Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF 70mm Jet Plane

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:00:14 +0000

]]>

The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle is a twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. It is considered among the most successful modern fighters with over 100 aerial combat victories. The Eagle first flew in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. The F-15 is expected to be in service with the U.S. Air Force until 2025.

Since the 1970s, the Eagle has also been exported to Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. Despite originally being envisaged as a pure air superiority aircraft, the design proved flexible enough that an all-weather strike derivative, the F-15E Strike Eagle, was later developed, and entered service in 1989.

This Starmax replica of the F-15 is a top-level model aeroplane, featuring vectored thrust, retractable landing gear and the craftsmanship and factory finish that people come to expect from our models.The finish and design of this foam structured plane has been undertaken to a very high standard. The fuselage is both strong and extremely light, designed to withstand the occasional crash landing. It is complete with a detailed paint job, and factory affixed decals to complete the realistic look of your F-15.

Thrust vectoring is the ability of an aircraft to direct the thrust from its engine(s) in a direction other than parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. The technique was originally employed to provide upward vertical thrust as a means to give aircraft vertical (VTOL) or short (STOL) takeoff and landing ability. Soon, it was realized that using vectored thrust in combat situations enabled aircraft to perform manoeuvres not available to conventional-engined planes.

So, what does all this mean? Well, you've got a 70mm ducted fan with powerful 14.8v battery, 5ch electronics, and automatic landing gear. Coupled with the vectored thrust, this gives you one of the fastest and most agile model aeroplanes on the market for this price. You will not be disappointed!

This is an amazing 3D aerobatic aircraft, and capable of incredible speed. The punch that this plane packs allows it to perform a full aerobatic display: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible. If you're really good you will be able to perform the famous 'Cobra Manoeuvre' with this F-15.

Alpha Jet Camo Vectored Thrust 5Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF 64mm Jet

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:51:32 +0000

]]>

The Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet is a light attack jet and advanced trainer aircraft, jointly manufactured by Germany and France. It is the main rival of the BAe Hawk, although it hasn't been made in as great numbers, it has been supplied to the French Air Force, Luftwaffe, Royal Thai Air Force, and the Portuguese Air Force amongst others.

Being so light and powerful makes the Alpha perfect for aerobatics and is used by the Patrouelle de France flight demonstration team to spectacular effect. The Red Bull company also own an Alpha and use it for their own demonstration purposes, painted in their own livery.

Starmax have worked their usual wonders in the finish and design of this foam structured plane. The fuselage is both strong and extremely light, designed to withstand the occasional crash landing. It is complete with a detailed paint job and looks ready for air to air combat.

The Alpha has something extra for you though: it features vectored thrust.

What all this adds up to is an exceedlingly rapid and nimble jet. In this model we have a 64mm ducted fan with powerful 14.8v battery, 5ch electronics controlling the aileron, rudder, elevator and the throttle. Coupled with the vectored thrust, this gives you one of the fastest and most agile model aeroplanes on the market for this price. This plane will travel at speeds in excess of 100mph. You will not be disappointed! The fifth channel: that's used for dropping a scale bomb!

It's not just the Patrouelle de France who can perform aerobatics in an Alpha; once you've mastered this jet you'll be able to attempt stunts such as: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible. If you're really good you will be able to perform the famous 'Cobra Manoeuvre' with your Alpha.

AMX Red Vectored Thrust 5Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF 64mm Jet Plane

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:37:05 +0000

]]>

The AMX International AMX "Ghibli" is a ground-attack aircraft which has been specifically designed for battlefield interdiction, close air support and reconnaissance missions. The AMX is capable of operating at high subsonic speed and low altitude, by day or night, and if necessary, from bases with poorly equipped or damaged runways.It was built in a joint venture between Brazil and Italy.

Low IR signature and reduced radar equivalent cross-section help prevent detection, while low vulnerability of structure and systems aid survivability. Integrated ECM, air-to-air missiles and nose-mounted guns provide self-defence capabilities. This combination of features enabled the Italian Air Force's AMX squadrons to fly 252 combat sorties over Kosovo as part of Operation Allied Force, without a single loss.

The AMX has something extra for you though: it features vectored thrust.

Thrust vectoring is the ability of an aircraft to direct the thrust from its engine(s) in a direction other than parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. The technique was originally employed to provide upward vertical thrust as a means to give aircraft vertical (VTOL) or short (STOL) takeoff and landing ability.

F-117 Nighthawk Stealth 5Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF 70mm Jet Plane

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:27:42 +0000

]]>

The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a stealth ground attack aircraft formerly operated by the United States Air Force. The F-117A's first flight was in 1981, and it achieved initial operating capability status in October 1983. The F-117 was a 'black' project, an ultra-secret program for much of its life, until the late 1980s.

The F-117 is shaped to deflect radar signals and is about the size of an F-15 Eagle. The single-seat Nighthawk is powered by two non-afterburning General Electric F404 turbofan engines, and has quadruple-redundant fly-by-wire flight controls. It shares many components with the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet and F-15E Strike Eagle.

Among the penalties for stealth are lower engine power thrust, due to losses in the inlet and outlet, a very low wing aspect ratio, and a high sweep angle (50°) needed to deflect incoming radar waves to the sides. With these design considerations and no afterburner, the F-117 is limited to subsonic speeds.

However, not only does it look fantastic, it is an amazing aerobatic aircraft, and capable of incredible speed. This model of this infamous jet fighter has got a 70mm ducted fan with powerful 14.8v battery, 5ch electronics, and automatic landing gear.The power that this plane packs allows it to perform a full aerobatic display: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible.

A-4 Blue Angels Skyhawk 4Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF 55mm Jet Plane

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:10:43 +0000

]]>

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is a delta winged, carrier-capable, ground-attack aircraft designed for the United States Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Fifty years after the aircraft's first flight, and having played key roles in conflict including the Falkland's War, some of the nearly 3,000 Skyhawks produced remain in service.

The A-4 Skyhawk was used by the Blue Angels between 1974 and 1986. The Blue Angels are the US Navy's Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron; they first performed in 1946 and are currently the world's oldest flying aerobatic team. The striking blue and yellow planes are supremely capable, aerobatic performers.

Starmax have produced an excellent replica of the A-4 in these stunning Blue Angel colours. The EPO foam fuselage is both strong and extremely light, designed to withstand the occasional crash landing. The authentic decals finish off the look and you are presented with a fantastic looking model.

The A-4 has a powerful brushless motor and a 55mm fan, this is a smaller fan than our other jets, and is an ideal entry level into the world of model jet piloting. Despite its smaller fan, the Skyhawk is no slouch and this model is capable of 90mph!

The delta wing design and lightweight fuselage enable this aeroplane to be supremely manoeuverable and in the right hands will take your breath away with the 3D aerobatics it can pull off. Stunts the A-4 is capable of include: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible. If you're really good you will be able to perform the famous 'Cobra Manoeuvre' with your Alpha.

The A-4 is also available in a grey colour scheme, for those who prefer a more military look and feel to their model aircraft, whatever colour you choose, they both have the same awesome power and handling.

The Northrop F-5A/B Freedom Fighter and F-5E/F Tiger II are part of a family of widely used, light supersonic fighter aircraft, designed and built by Northrop in the United States, beginning in the 1960s. Hundreds remained in service in air forces around the world, even into the early 21st Century, and the type has also been the basis for a number of other aircraft.

This particular variant was used by the Patrouille Suisse, an aerobatic team of the Swiss Air Force founded in 1964. The team currently flies six Northrop F-5E Tiger II fighter/bomber jets.

Like all the planes in the Starmax range, the F-5E is finished in the factory to a high standard and represents an excellent replica of the real aircraft. Extra features like the realistic landing gear, and the clear cockpit complete with pilot add to the authenticity and realism present in this model.

However, not only does it look fantastic, but - as you'd expect from an aeroplane selected by an International aerobatic team - it is an amazing 3D aerobatic aircraft, and capable of over 90mph. This package of power and size, gives it a fantastic repertoire in experienced hands with a tremendous roll rate and an ability to climb vertically at incredible speed.

F9F Panther 2.4GHz 4 CH RC EDF Fighter Jet 64mm

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:25:54 +0000

]]>

The Grumman F9F Panther was one of the U.S. Navy's first successful carrier-based jet fighters. Introduced in 1958 the Panther was the most widely used US Navy jet fighter of the Korean War, flying 78,000 sorties and scoring the first air-to-air kill by the US Navy in the war, the downing of a North Korean Yakovlev Yak-9 fighter.

Capable of 575mph and with a range of 1,300 miles, this jet had quite a thirst for fuel. As there was insufficient space within the wings and fuselage for the amount of fuel required, permanently-mounted wingtip fuel tanks were added which had the side benefit of improving the fighter's rate of roll! The jet was retired by the US in the late fifties to early sixties, but was still in service with the Argentinian Navy (the only foreign buyer of the Panther) until 1969.

Like all the planes in the Starmax range, the Panther is finished in the factory to a high standard and represents an excellent replica of the real aircraft. Extra features like the realistic landing gear, and the clear cockpit complete with pilot add to the authenticity and realism present in this model.

But! Looks are only half of the story with these models. In the air, it is an incredible acrobat, and capable of over 90mph. It is launchable by hand or will take off from the ground with ease.

The F-4E Phantom II is a tandem two-seat, twin-engined, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor fighter/fighter-bomber originally developed for the U.S. Navy. First entering service in 1960, the Phantom continued to form a major part of U.S. military air power throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and even now are in active service with a number of other countries.

Despite the imposing dimensions and a maximum takeoff weight of over 27,000 the F-4E had a top speed of Mach 2.23 and an initial climb of over 41,000 ft/min. Shortly after its introduction, the Phantom set 15 world records, including an absolute speed record of 1,606.342 mph and an absolute altitude record of 98,557 ft.

The F-4 had several variants, but this model the F-4E was the one chosen by The Thunderbirds, who are the air demonstration squadron of the U.S. Air Force.

Like all the planes in the Starmax range, the Phantom has lots of detail, a great factory finished look, with a clear canopy with cockpit, the landing gear are easy to remove and replace, and the whole model has been designed for easy fan access for maintenance.

In the air, it's phenomenal, capable of around 70mph, which for something less than 80cms long is very fast indeed. It is launchable by hand or will take off from the ground with ease. As you can no doubt imagine, this package of power and size, makes for an extremely agile aeroplane; this fighter has an amazing 3D aerobatic repertoire in experienced hands with a tremendous roll rate and an ability to climb vertically at incredible speed.

He 162 Salamander 2.4GHz RC EDF Fighter Jet 64mm

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:12:00 +0000

]]>

Heinkel's He 162 Volksjäger ("People's Fighter") was a German single-engine, jet-powered fighter aircraft used by the Luftwaffe in WWII. The original 162 was constructed mainly from wood as metals were in short supply and prioritised for other aircraft. Despite this the He 162 was the fastest of the first generation of Axis and Allied jets. Volksjäger was the Reich Air Ministry's official name for the He 162. Other names given to the plane include Salamander, which was the codename of its construction program. It took less than 90 days from the final design being chosen to a finished aircraft actually flying!

The He 162 is a clean, sporty-looking little aircraft, with a sleek, streamlined fuselage. The BMW jet was mounted in a pod situated on top of the fuselage directly aft of the cockpit. Twin vertical tailfins were mounted at the ends of the upswept tailplanes to clear the jet exhaust, a high-mounted straight wing with a forward-swept trailing edge and shallow dihedral, an ejection seat was provided for the pilot (deemed far more valuable than the machine itself), and tricycle landing gear that retracted into the fuselage.

This scale model of the He 162 has been carefully designed using CAD technology and, is a faithful replica of the World War II original. All parts are pre-painted to a high level of detail, the aeroplane looks amazing! As an added bonus it's 95% complete straight out of the box, with only a few stages of assembly to complete before you can take to the air.

This plane is a stable model and has a well chosen, powerful motor for its size; you only need to give it a little touch of throttle and this warbird will be off, skywards. It will take off either from the ground or can be launched from the hand, and when it is launched, the fighter takes to the air with ease, and looks extremely realistic in the air.The He 162 can perform a whole host of aerobatics in skilled hands, but due to its stability it is a suitable choice of aeroplane for someone wishing to learn the thrills of model jets.

F-35 Lightning II 2.4GHz RC EDF Jet

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:00:52 +0000

]]>

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a, single-seat, single-engine, stealth multirole fighter, that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air defense missions. The F-35 is intended to be the world's premier strike aircraft and to be active until 2040, with close and long-range air-to-air capability.

The F-35 is required to be four times more effective than existing fighters in air-to-air combat, eight times more effective in air-to-ground combat, and three times more effective in reconnaissance and suppression of air defenses all while having better range and requiring less logistics support! The first flight of the F35 was in 2006.

This scale model of the F-35 has been carefully designed using CAD technology and, this is evident in the realistic and high quality finish seen in this plane. All parts are pre-painted to a high level of detail, the jet really does look fantastic, and as an added bonus it's 95% complete straight out of the box, with only a few stages of assembly to complete before you can take to the air.

This plane is incredibly stable and has well proportioned, controllable power; you only need to nudge the throttle gently and the F35 will shoot down your runway and take off. It will take off either from the ground or can be launched from the hand, and when it is launched, the F35 accelerates like a rocket and takes to the air with ease, and looks absolutely awesome when in flight.The Lightning can perform a whole host of aerobatics in skilled hands, but due to its stability it is a suitable choice of aeroplane for someone wishing to learn the thrills of model jets. That said, this plane can do in excess of 90mph!!

This jet comes with a 2.4G radio which means the range is longer and more stable plus you do not have to worry about interference from other fliers. The plane is made from strong but lightweight foam that is more resistant to crashes and gives easier stable flight even in windy conditions. This aeroplane can take off from the ground or can be hand launched.

F 18E Jolly Rogers RC EDF Jet 2.4G 64mm

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 12:50:49 +0000

]]>

The F/A-18 known as the Hornet is a supersonic, all-weather, carrier-capable, multirole fighter jet, designed to attack both ground and aerial targets. Introduced in the early 80s and capable of Mach 1.8 (1,190mph) at 40,000 feet, it is still in active service around the world in roles such as fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), air interdiction, close air support and aerial reconnaissance. The F/A-18E has been a popular choice of fighter for aircraft carrier deployment.

Strike Fighter Squadron 103 (VF-103), nicknamed the Jolly Rogers is an aviation unit of the United States Navy established in 1952. They fly the Hornet emblazoned with a sinister skull and cross bones on the tailfins, and it is these planes that have been reproduced in the model you see here.

This scale model of the real thing has been beautifully crafted using CAD technology and, this is evident in the realsitic and high quality finish seen in this plane. All parts are pre-painted to a high level of detail, the jet really does look fantastic, and as an added bonus it's 95% complete straight out of the box, with only a few stages of assembly to complete before you can take to the air.

This plane is incredibly stable and has just the right amount of power; only a couple of flicks of the throttle are needed to get this jet taxiing and ready for take off. The Jolly Rogers model accelerates like a rocket and takes to the air with ease, and once in the air, that's when the fun begins! The F/A 18E can perform pretty much any aerial acrobatic manoeuvre you could possibly ask of it, but due to its stability it is a suitable choice of aeroplane for someone wishing to learn the thrills of model jets.

Starmax F-5E Camo 5Ch RTF 70mm EDF Rc Jet With Retracts

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:48:08 +0000

]]>

The real Northrop F-5E Tiger II are part of a family of widely used light supersonic fighter aircraft, designed and built by Northrop in the United States, beginning in 1960s. Hundreds remain in service in air forces around the world. The F-5E "Tiger II" was a greatly improved version of the earlier F-5A "Freedom Fighter". Redesigned as a highly maneuverable, lightweight and inexpensive air superiority fighter, the E featured an air-to-air fire control radar system and a lead computing gun sight. More powerful J85 engines required the fuselage to be both widened and lengthened. The forward wing root was redesigned to give the "Tiger II" wing its characteristic triple delta shape.

This excellent model is based on the US Navy desert camo finish.

This F-5E is one of the highest spec and quickest jets on the market. It is a massive 1.3m in length and is fitted with a 70mm EDF. Extra power and speed is produced by the big 14.8V, 2200mah LiPo battery and 40A brushless setup. As well as extra power and speed this jet also features an automatic landing gear system and turning front wheel. To allow this the set includes a 5ch transmitter and eight servos. It's a highly maneuverable model that can easily perform inverted flight, loops and rolls etc.The model comes pre-painted with everything you need included apart from the normal AA batteries for the transmitter. The model is almost ready to fly out of the box with only very minor assembly required such as attaching the wings. Everything you need to complete is included in the box.

Included is a 5ch 1000m range transmitter, electronic speed controller, ducted fan with electric brushless motor and 8 electric servos all pre-installed. The 5ch transmitter gives full 3D control of the aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle and retracts. The 70mm ducted fan system with the brushless motors and li-po battery gives enormous power pushing the jet to crazy speeds. The high power allows full aerobatic characteristics and inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible.

The attention to detail from Starmax who are the leading rc jet manufacturers gives the jet a nice realistic appearance. The jet can take off from the ground or can be hand launched. If you are not ready to be flying at high speeds then you can also fly the plane very slowly while you get used to it without any problems. The jet is made from shock resistant EPS foam with reinforced fuselage and strong wings. Should you need any spare parts though they are all available from our site. This plane is a lot of fun and you will certainly enjoy flying this fantastic model.

Starmax F-22 Stars Raptor 4Ch RTF Ducted Fan Rc Jet

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:15:12 +0000

]]>

The real Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor is a fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology. It is primarily an air superiority fighter, but has multiple capabilities that include ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence roles. The United States Air Force considers the F-22 a critical component of the U.S. strike force.

The F-22 is claimed by multiple sources to be the worlds most effective air superiority fighter. The US Air Force states that the F-22 cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft. Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, Chief of the Australian Defense Force, said in 2004 that the "F-22 will be the most outstanding fighter plane ever built."

The F22 EDF Jet is one exceptional rc jet. It is power-driven by a bigger than standard 70mm electric ducted fan along with a powerful 2836 inner runner brushless motor and 45A ESC 5A UBEC. The battery has also been upgraded to a big 14.8V, 2200mah LiPo giving more power and speed. The jet is made with dense and solid foam and comes with a strong set of fixed landing gear. It flies very fast and has tremendous wing area and large control surfaces. The F22 is also very stable for intermediate pilots and very easy to fly for experts. Thrust is superb with better than 1-1 thrust to weight ratio. This jet has a 27 wingspan and is 40 in length. It flies magnificently with true aerodynamic ability and will handle wind much better just like the real F22 Raptor. It's a highly maneuverable model that can easily perform inverted flight, loops and rolls etc. The model comes pre-painted with everything you need included apart from the normal AA batteries for the transmitter. The model is almost ready to fly out of the box with only very minor assembly required such as attaching the wings. Everything you need to complete is included in the box.

Included is a 1000m range transmitter, electronic speed controller, ducted fan with electric brushless motor and 5 electric servos all pre-installed. The 4ch transmitter gives full 3D control of the aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle. The ducted fan system with the brushless motors and li-po battery gives enormous power pushing the jet to crazy speeds.

Starmax F-5E Tiger 4Ch RTF Ducted Fan Rc Jet

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:22:40 +0000

]]>

The unique scheme used on this model is a perfect replica of the special upgraded Brazilian F-5E shown below which was designed to celebrate 30 years of service of the F-5E Tiger in the Brazilian Air Force.

1-5/8" wingspan, 34-7/8" long, 125 sq. in. wing area, 18-1/2 oz. flying weight. Tough EPO foam construction makes a more durable airframe, less prone to dings and dents. The Jet comes with all the major components pre-installed and ready for final assembly. All you need to do to complete is glue in place the vertical fin, rockets and the EPO nose cone. The 64mm fan is installed with a smooth-running out runner motor and a 30 amp speed control. The 4 servos (2-aileron, 2-elevator) are pre-installed and pre-connected to the flying surfaces. It just doesn't get much easier than this. Charge the 1300 mAh lipo battery with the included lipo balance charger, install 8-AA batteries (not included) in the transmitter and get ready to go fly fast. Flight battery access is located under the canopy, making a quick change easy to do. The jet comes with removable landing gear with a turning nose wheel. It can be flown with or without the gear. If you don't have a smooth runway, hand launching is easy to do and belly landings are a breeze. The high visibility color scheme really helps with maintaining orientation with this fast jet. Small-yes, twitchy-no; the F-5E has great speed and really grooves in the air. The jet is suitable for intermediate to advanced pilots.
