The Top Flite P-40 Warhawk ARF Giant Scale RC Model.

The Top Flite P-40 Warhawk Giant Scale ARF is constructed of balsa/ ply and covered with authentic flat finish monokote. F/G cowl, scale cockpit & 55cc gas.

I love this photo! Taken from the Top Flite web site, I think it shows everything great about flying large scale RC.

The  Warhawk has just crossed the end of the runway, with flaps and landing gear down. The engine is at a little above the lowest idle point, we are lined up down the center of the runway and we are getting ready to start the final flare.

P-40 Model Description

This P-40 Warhawk is of balsa and ply construction with a covering of flat finish monokote. All the scale details are included and Robart retracts are available.

This ARF RC airplane comes complete with a detailed cockpit kit that is good as is but can be added to for a more detailed look.

The fiberglass parts include the beautifully finished cowl  along with a belly pan and landing gear pods. 

Kit Contents:

Here you can see all the parts laid out. Note painted aluminum spinner and the cockpit details. Unfortunately Top Flite do not include a pilot, so you will have to find your own!

You do have to assemble these parts- but that should be fun!

The tailane is mounted on aluminum tubes and all surfaces, except the rudder, are pre-hinged.

Detailed scale flaps make the landings a pleasure.

Just look at that F/G cowl! Note also the painted aluminum spinner.

Authentic finish and you apply the decals, so some customizing is possible

Retracts.

Robart make a set of electric retracts that I believe are the best way to go.

Pneumatic actuated units are also available, but maybe these electrics are simpler and more reliable.

Note that both types rotate as they retract, just as the full size Warhawk did.

Robart retracts with "ghosted" rotate/retract motion shown

Strong retract mount should prove reliable.

Take a look at the Top Flite manual.  This will give you a good idea of what to expect, from this kit.
