THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER FOR POWER OR PSS (SLOPE SOARING)

A beautiful model that surprises by being easy enough to build and fly for the average club flyer, our F15 has exceeded all expectations.

Fast and easy to fly with no vices, in truth it is a baby to fly and can be slowed right up if you want. It is aerobatic on a good .40 motor needing only 3 channels, it can also be flown as a glider on 2 channels for PSS/slope.

The EAGLE has a superb ready joined vac formed plastic fuselage 49" long that's very close to scale, strong and easy to glue (white car bumper material). The wings are ready veneered foam with leading and trailing edges prefitted.

Balsa and ply are included and there are clear comprehensive instructions for rapid and easy assembly. We don't include an undercarriage as it looks so much better without all those bits dangling, a drop off dolly is a possibility if you must have wheels.

The model comes as a basic kit with appropriate accessory packs as required each available separately:

    1    basic hardware to fly the model as a slope soarer (PSS)

    2    extra hardware to fly it as a power model (pack 1 is also required)

    3    a full set of graphics with alternative markings

A kit review appeared in the February 1993 issue of RCM&E

 

Production status

I am no longer making or selling the F15 and for the moment no one else is either so it has to be regarded as unavailable, sorry.
