Complete with 5 servos installed, 80mm fan, brushless motor and 45A ESC. |
34-1/2 in. wingspan, 34-3/4 in. long, 30 oz. flying weight, 212-1/2 sq. in. wing area. The FJ-3 Fury was the Navy's version of the famous Korean War Era F-86 Sabre. Our super scale version has great detail and includes everything that you need less the radio system and battery. Much of the work is already done for you; the 80mm dynamically balanced fan and brushless motor (2600 Kv) is pre-installed as is the 45A ESC with switch mode BEC. 5 precision servos are also pre-installed, four 9g nylon gear and one 9g metal gear. All control surfaces are pin hinged for smooth slop free movement and come pre-installed. Carbon reinforcements are included for the main wing and the horizontal tail. The assembly manual is very detailed and full of exploded view drawings to aid in quick assembly. The decals are water slide and left for the builder to install after assembly. The FJ-3 is a solid performer with an extremely axial roll. The swept wing design is very stable with no tip stall tendencies and a broad speed range. The fixed landing gear are scale in appearance and strong. Jet is designed for take off and landing from a runway but can be flown off short grass. Required to complete is a radio system, 4-cell 2200 Lipo battery and Lithium battery charger, glue and tools.

Only complaint is some slight deception. From the pictures it looks like the battery is installed on the top of the plane. The battery hatch is actually below. Which i hate. The removable canopy hides your receiver. This fuselage is in several pieces and must be glued. It's not made out of their tough EPO foam like the smaller F86 Sabre. The smaller Sabre seemed like a better deal and it was more innovative, this one feels like a step backwards.

I assembled this jet for a review and could not be happier. The color scheme is awesome, and the build instructions are phenomenal. The jet goes together in about 5 hours of time, and there is not much needed other than epoxy. All the servos are installed and the extensions are in place too...how cool is that! How does it fly? It flies very well in the complete stock format without any special fan system, etc. It rolls very quickly on the high high rates, meaning way past the recommended throws. Loops are nice and the spee is good too. Best part, it lands nice and slow so don't worry about touching down with a lot of throttle, it just doesn't need it. You will get about 5-6 minutes of flight time with some battery left over, but don't push it. All fans are this way so that shouldn't be a surprise. This was my first jet of any sort, and I love it! Get one.

I haven't flown this f86 yet, just finishing up the assembly...without the "waterslide" decals. This is the most useless set of decals I have ever seen. Okay, maybe I'm doing it wrong, but if so, where are the instructions for getting them to slide off the paper? And when they finally did they disintegrated. Now I have a "scale" F86 without insignia.
