The legendary Wildcat as a Bind-N-Fly park flyer |
From Pearl Harbor through 1942 the F4F Wildcat was the only U.S. fighter in the Pacific theater capable of thwarting the advances of Japan's naval air forces. And though it was slower and less maneuverable than the vaunted Zero, its heavier armor, self-sealing fuel tanks and rugged airframe could often help a skilled pilot overcome this performance gap and live to fight another day. ParkZone brings the legendary Wildcat to life with this great flying Plug-N-Play park flyer modeled after a rc plane flown by Lieutenant Commander Edward “Butch” O'Hare - the U.S. Navy's first flying ace. Scale touches include a realistic paint scheme, simulated engine cylinders and cowl flaps, molded wheels tucked into the fuselage and more. Its flight performance is equally impressive thanks to the full 4-channel control and ample power provided by its 480 brushless motor. Best of all, you can have it flying in the time it takes you to charge the included battery pack and bind its Spektrum AR500 receiver to your full-range DSM2 aircraft system (sold separately). An F4F PNP version is also available. F4F Wildcat BNF Features: - Ready to fly in minutes with full 4-channel control – throttle, aileron, elevator and rudder
