MiG-29 Fulcrum

DSC_0027 This is our HET-RC Mikoyan Mig-29 Fulcrum with 2x Typhoon 2W-20, 2x Tsunami 72A and 2x 4200mAh 4S lipos. The model is equipped with TamJets Air retracts and uses a FlyFly Mig-29 Oleo strut for the nose gear.
Take offs from a concrete runway are easily done. However as the model is not equipped with a working rudder, cross wind makes it hard to get it airborne.

Once the gear is up the MiG-29 accelerates quickly. The power setup is adequate for basic flight but a bit more power would be required to fly it in a scale like fashion. We are now planning to upgrade the Model to either a 6S setup (2W-25)or a more powerful 4S setup such as the Typhoon 1W-30.

Some info on the real plane:
The Mikoyan MiG-29 (Russian: Микоян МиГ-29; NATO reporting name: Fulcrum) is a 4th-generation jet fighter aircraft designed in the Soviet Union for an air superiority role. Developed in the 1970s by the Mikoyan design bureau, it entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1983, and remains in use by the Russian Air Force as well as in many other nations. The NATO name “Fulcrum” was unofficially used by Soviet pilots in service. The MiG-29 along with the Su-27 were developed to counter new American fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, and the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

F-16 Falcon

Some pictures of our HET-RC F-16 Falcon Thunderbirds.
This taileron controlled model is equipped with a HET-6904 Fan, Typhoon 2W-20 Motor, HET-72A ESC, UBEC and 2 Hitec HS-82MG servos.

Equipped with a 3700mAh 4S Lipo the plane goes ballistic. Large loops and high speed low passes are a joy.
The model is launched with a Bungee (we have customers who successfully equipped the model with fixed gear).

1st_Flight-2

Some info on the real plane:
The Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multirole jet fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force. Designed as a lightweight, daytime fighter, it evolved into a successful multirole aircraft. The F-16’s versatility is a paramount reason it has proven a success on the export market, having been selected to serve in the air forces of 25 nations.The F-16 is the largest Western jet fighter program with over 4,400 aircraft built since production was approved in 1976.Though no longer being purchased by the U.S. Air Force, advanced versions are still being built for export customers. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.

1st_Flight-4 The Fighting Falcon is a dogfighter with numerous innovations including a frameless, bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while under high g-forces, and reclined seat to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot. The F-16 has an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and has 11 hardpoints for mounting various missiles, bombs and pods. It was also the first fighter aircraft deliberately built to sustain 9-g turns. It has a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than one, providing power to climb and accelerate vertically—if necessary.Although the F-16’s official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper", due to it resembling a viper snake and after the Battlestar Galactica starfighter.In addition to active, and reserve USAF units, the aircraft is used by the USAF aerial demonstration team, U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and as an adversary/aggressor aircraft by the United States Navy.

The F-16 is scheduled to remain in service with the U.S. Air Force until 2025.The planned replacement is the F-35 Lightning II, which will gradually begin replacing a number of multirole aircraft among the air arms of the program’s member nations.

F-104 Starfighter

Leonard’s HET-RC F-104 Starfighter. P1010141_resize_resize
The model is equipped with a HET-RC Typhoon 2W-20 Motor, Tsunami 60A ESC, UBEC and HET-6904 Fan.
All servos in the model are Hitec HS-81MG servos (3 in total).

The long fuselage and straight duct makes the fan sound like a small turbine (minus the smell) :-)

This Starfighter is launched with the help of a Bungee.

 

Some info on the real plane:
The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was an American single-engined, high-performance, supersonic interceptor aircraft that served with the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1958 until 1967. One of the Century Series of aircraft, it continued in service with Air National Guard units until it was phased out in 1975. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) flew a small mixed fleet of F-104 types in supersonic flight tests and spaceflight programs until they were retired in 1994. Several two-seat trainer versions were produced, the most numerous being the TF-104G.

P1010144_resize_resize_resizeUSAF F-104Cs saw service during the Vietnam War, and F-104A aircraft were deployed by Pakistan briefly during the Indo-Pakistani wars. Republic of China Air Force F-104s also engaged the People’s Liberation Army Air Force over the disputed island of Kinmen. A set of modifications produced the F-104G model, which won a NATO competition for a new fighter-bomber.

The ultimate production version of the F-104 was the F-104S all-weather interceptor designed by Aeritalia for the Italian Air Force, and equipped with radar-guided AIM-7 Sparrow missiles. An advanced F-104 with a high-mounted wing, known as the CL-1200 Lancer, did not proceed. The project was cancelled at the mock-up stage in favor of other lightweight fighters such as the F-16. A total of 2,578 Starfighters were eventually produced, mostly by NATO members. The F-104 served with the air forces of over a dozen nations The operational service of the Starfighter ended with its retirement by the Italian Air Force in May 2004, some 46 years after its introduction in 1958 by the USAF.

The poor safety record of the Starfighter brought the aircraft into the public eye, especially in Luftwaffe service. The subsequent Lockheed bribery scandals surrounding the original purchase contracts caused considerable political controversy in Europe and Ja pan.

F4D Skyray

small

One of the early EDF ARF Kits.
Our HET-RC A4D Skyray was equipped with a WeMoTec Mini Fan 480, HET-RC 2W Motor, 60A ESC and was powered by a 3300mAh 3s lipo.

With a current draw of around 55A flight times where rather limite d.
The plane unfortunately crashed during launch when the bungee did not disconnect (the hook came loose and turned itself around preventing the ring on the bungee from dropping out).
Since then all bungee hooks are cut as short as possible to prevent this from happening again.

Some info on the real plane:
The American Douglas F4D Skyray (later redesignated F-6 Skyray) was a carrier-based fighter/interceptor built by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Although it was in service for a relatively short time and never entered combat, it was notable for being the first carrier-launched aircraft to hold the world’s absolute speed record and was the first United States Navy and United States Marine Corps fighter capable of exceeding Mach 1 in level flight. It would be the last fighter produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company.
