RBC F9F-2 Panther 90mm Kit

The RBC Kit F9F-2 is one of the most iconic jets in an era where jets were reaching their full potential in air power. This easy-to-build kit will create a great-looking jet that is easy to repair.  The RBC kit features a construction of balsa, plywood, and abs plastic to make an easy-to-build/repair kit that has great flying characteristics.  The Panther can serve as a great trainer edf or an advanced aerobatic edf jet for the seasoned jet flyer. The kit contains all parts CNC cut including all wood to finish the Panther.  A large clear cad drawing is also included as also the vacuum-formed tip tanks, canopy, and nose cone. Features a large top hatch for easy access to the battery and receiver area. Instructions on photo sheet and in written English.  The Panther works extremely well with the Jetapult launching system from Fan Jets USA.

Decals are not included in the kit.
