The Grumman F9F Panther had the distinction of winning the US Navys first victory in the skys over Korea when it downed a Yak 9 in an air to air engagement. Developed at the end of WW2, with the maiden flight taking place in November 1947, this great looking aircraft was not in front line service for long before being replaced by newer swept wing designs, and ended its career largely in reserve squadrons. Despite this short career in aviation terms, the Panther has many fans.
This very scale looking EPO model very much does the Panther justice, and looks amazing in the sky with those huge colourful wing tanks. The very powerful alloy EDF unit supplies lots of thrust and sounds fantastic, performance is superb even on 3s with plenty of vertical. Being the hand-launch version gives you options for retracts if you so wish as the mounting plates are pre-fitted. All the high torque servos are pre-fitted, as is the fully programmable ESC and UBEC which gives the option of 4.8v or 6v output to the RX.
This is a quality scale model that is a little more involved than your average Plug N Fly in terms of build, but the reward for the RC pilot is one of the best flying & looking foam models in the 70mm class.
