The McDonnell Douglas Corporation's F-15 Eagle was designed
to be a tactical fighter to gain and maintain air superiority
in aerial combat. The F-15 Eagle was developed out of the lessons
learned from Vietnam and the need for the United States Air Force to
have a dedicated air superiority fighter. The F-15 was
delivered into service in the late 1970s and remained in service
with the USAF for over twenty years. The F-15 was successful in
achieving air superiority through use of avionics, weapons,
speed, and maneuverability. Its electronic systems and weaponry
could detect, track, and attack enemy aircraft while the flight
control systems can allow one person to effectively perform
air-to-air combat.
E-flite has replicated the F-15 Eagle as a sport, scale rc jet
plane. This military fighter model boasts the scale Edwards Air
Force Base Safety Chase trim scheme making it a very attractive and
highly visible plane. Spend less time building and more time
flying, this model comes out of the box fully painted red and
silver on white foam with custom decals applied. It even includes
retracts.
This high powered rc jet plane was designed around the use of two
420 DF 3800 Kv motors to match with the included ducted fan
units. The low wing loading and twin ducted fans allow superior
maneuverability and acceleration to perform basic aerobatics. While
this plane is capable of flying a tight flight pattern, it can still
be flown at your local park. The wings are each reinforced with a
carbon fiber tube spar for added stability. This rc jet plane
also has full flying horizontal stabilizers for pitch control
and stability.
The flight characteristics and response of E-flite's F-15 Eagle
mirror those of the full size McDonell Douglas Eagle, down to the
aerobatic capabilities. This model was created for the ambitious
sport scale, advanced pilot looking for a versatile model capable of
park flying.
NOTE: This is an almost
ready to fly airplane, additional parts are required for purchase
before flight
