F-7F Tigercat Composite Airplane

83" wingspan, 72-1/2" long, 945 sq. in. wing area, 25-30 lbs. flying weight. This is a big all hollow molded composite model of the Grumman F7F Tigercat with terrific scale details. Includes scale machined aluminum air-up/spring-down retracts. The scale retracts come complete with functioning oleo-struts, scale alloy wheels with rubber tires, retract air tank, activation valve, plumbing tee's and hoses. This is a BIG airplane that is suitable for the advanced modeler only. While a very complete model with a ton of work pre-done for you, there is still a lot of work for the modeler and many decisions that need to be made with the benefit of experience behind you. Designed for gas engines of about the 24cc size, ours is built with large AXI 53 series brushless motors and uses 10S lithium batteries and Jeti 90A controllers to motivate it through the sky. The Tigercat is a heavy model but you would never know it in flight: it grooves beautifully, has a gentle stall, and with its 4 big flaps it slows well for landings. It's difficult to imagine a more impressive model at the flying field. If you're looking for a challenge with a big payoff - this is it. Requires delivery by truck freight due to the huge box. Requires a minimum 6 channel radio and 11 servos. Ailerons (2 servos), Flaps (4 servos), Elevator (2 servos), Rudder (1 servo), Nose wheel steering (1 servo), Retract Air valve (1 servo).
