F-27 Friendship Fiber Glass Kit (USA Warehouse)

F-27 Friendship Fiber Glass Kit (USA Warehouse)
F-27 Friendship Fiber Glass Kit (USA Warehouse)


Designed as the successor of the Douglas DC-3 the Fokker F-27 Friendship was a 28 seat passenger plane engineered and commissioned in the late 1950s. The F-27 served many years successfully as a passenger craft but would later take on a successful role as an air cargo ship. With a payload of 6 tonnes the Fokker F-27 is still in service today and is a popular choice for express cargo shipments.

Featuring a full fiber glass fuselage with built up ply and balsa construction this model is sure to attract attention. Two 28 size 1600kv brushless out runners will be required for (one for each wing) along with a 30Amp ESC for each motor. Five 9g servos will be required as the model features a twin servo elevator setup with a shared servo for rudder and the steerable nose wheel.  All the general hard ware (Push rods, screws, landing gear etc) is included to get this kit underway. You will also require your own transmitter and receiver (Tx/Rx).

This is not a beginners model and some modeling experience will be required to complete this kit. However the finished product will be of a high quality and will last a life time.

I received the F-27 yesterday and my first impression was Wow! Very nice ARF for the money. The fiberglass fuselage looks great and the wings and tail have a great covering job on them. It is a lot lighter than I expected it to be. I plan to convert mine to nitro. I was originally thinking two OS 10 LAs, but I may end up going with a couple of norvel 061s since it is so light. I plan to start my build in a few weeks, but so far this looks like a very nice ARF.

Instructions are not in English so hopefully there are enough photos to be able to visually assemble the kit. Overall construction looks excellent. Fuselage is very well constructed. Just wish there were some suggestions for the motor size. None are listed. Anyone have any ideas.

Flew mine this week. 2x D2826-1650 (no longer available), 25A ESC, Master airscrew 7x4 3-blade props, 3S 2650 Batt. It took right off from a grass field, but top speed was a bit lacking. You need to keep your speed up as the wing loading is high and it stalls easily. Switched to APC 7x6 two blade props and it flew much better.
