F-9F Panther Jet

DEWDZ!

I like this F-9F Korean war vintage Panther jet from Banana Hobby. I think I'm going to buy it. But it's gonna be a static display from my ceiling until I'm skilled enough to fly it. It's like a fast sport plane. I'd like to build one too, but this one isn't a bad price at $150.

I think part of the reason my BananaHobby Cub crashed is because one of the servos went bye bye. When I was bench testing it to use parts from it for my Peregrine, the rudder servo went full deflection and wouldn't come back. I wrote to them to see if I can get a store-credit...but it depends on their attitude. How do I prove it? Probably can't. But it does explain why the Cub wouldn't turn back towards us on its last flight. So we'll see.

Anyway:

I couldn't find a You Tube vid of the BlitzRCWorks F-9F Panther, but I did find this video online. It may be a different format than You Tube, so I'll just post the link.
This guy makes a mistake and calls it the "F-9F Phantom".
He's a little confused about his airplanes. But check it out...

I have one of these in the box. I will break it out so you can see it in action.
90mph is awesome!...

Yeah! Bring it on Sunday the 17th, if you don't mind. Might want to also bring your rubberband launcher. Your jets seem to do a lot better with that device.

Like my Peregrine, they require a little more speed to get launched. And the fuselage shape on the F-9F Panther might be a little too hard to get a good handle to grasp it for a throwing launch.
