F-15 Desert Vectored Thrust 5Ch 2.4GHz RC EDF 70mm RC Jet Plane

The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle is a twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. It is considered among the most successful modern fighters with over 100 aerial combat victories. The Eagle first flew in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. The F-15 is expected to be in service with the U.S. Air Force until 2025.

This Starmax replica of the F-15 is a top-level model aeroplane, featuring vectored thrust, retractable landing gear and the craftsmanship and factory finish that people come to expect from our models.The finish and design of this foam structured plane has been undertaken to a very high standard. The fuselage is both strong and extremely light, designed to withstand the occasional crash landing. It is complete with a detailed paint job, and factory affixed decals to complete the realistic look of your F-15.

Thrust vectoring is the ability of an aircraft to direct the thrust from its engine(s) in a direction other than parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal axis. The technique was originally employed to provide upward vertical thrust as a means to give aircraft vertical (VTOL) or short (STOL) takeoff and landing ability. Soon, it was realized that using vectored thrust in combat situations enabled aircraft to perform manoeuvres not available to conventional-engined planes.

So, what does all this mean? Well, you've got a 70mm ducted fan with powerful 14.8v battery, 5ch electronics, and automatic landing gear. Coupled with the vectored thrust, this gives you one of the fastest and most agile model aeroplanes on the market for this price. You will not be disappointed!

This is an amazing 3D aerobatic aircraft, and capable of incredible speed. The punch that this plane packs allows it to perform a full aerobatic display: inside loops, outside loops, axial rolls, inverted flight, knife edge, stall turns, hammerheads, and spins are all possible. If you're really good you will be able to perform the famous 'Cobra Manoeuvre' with this F-15.

The Cobra Manoeuvre

This plane is 90% assembled and so only a few minutes of final finishes are needed before you can fly. Also everything you need is in the box, apart from 8 AA batteries, which you'll need to power the radio contol transmitter.

This Nitrotek jet comes with a 2.4G radio which means the range is longer and more stable plus you do not have to worry about interference from other fliers. It is also equipped with a powerful brushless motor, for the best performance. The plane is made from strong but lightweight foam that is more resistant to crashes and gives easier stable flight even in windy conditions. This aeroplane can take off from the ground or can be hand launched.
