The twin engine McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is an all-weather tactical air superiority jet that had its first flight way back in 1972. Entering service in 1976 it quickly became one of the world’s most successful operational fighters, with over 100 air combat victories to no losses. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220 afterburning turbofans that deliver a top speed of Mach 2.5, the F-15’s chief claim to fame is its incredible acceleration and manoeuvrability which, added to its impressive range, weaponry and avionics, have made it the U.S.A.F’s primary fighter for decades.
A truly iconic aeroplane which has been beautifully reproduced by Arrows Hobby in light and resilient EPO foam and treated to the eye-catching Oregon Air National Guard 75th Anniversary commemorative colour scheme. Fitted with twin 64mm 12-blade fans, a 6S power system and a scale retractable twist-n-turn undercarriage, this model beautifully mimics the appeal and characteristics of the full-size in everything from appearance to performance. Arrows models have a reputation for flying well and, again, this one's a peach. Offering a solid four-minute duration on the recommended 6S 4000mAh LiPo, the performance is close to perfect in both slow and high-speed manoeuvres. Agile, responsive and looking every bit the formidable US fighter, this is definitely a model that will make you grin.
