Hangar 9 Fokker D.VII RC Plane, 30cc ARF, HAN2890

World War I German Fighter Replica

The German Fokker D.VII is often considered as one of the greatest fighter aircraft of the first world war, the story of its creation is what makes this aircraft such an enigma. During the end of 1917, the Allies had retaken air superiority over the western front with the S.E. 5 and the SPAD fighters. To counter this, the German government offered aircraft manufacturers to submit prototype single-seater fighter designs for inspection and evaluation in Berlin, Jan 1918. The best overall design would be rewarded with a production contract with the German airforce. The winner of this was the Fokker D VII and was built on an initial run of 400 units.

The Fokker D VII was simple to manoeuvre, strong in construction and agile enough to be highly respected and feared by the enemy. The Fokker D VII could attack vertically when other aircraft would stall and fly away. The superior performance of the Fokker D VII allowed it to be very successful and of the 3,300 that were produced over 700 still remained in service after the war ended.

Incredible scale detail

Hangar 9 takes this historic war legend and brings it back to life as a giant scale ARF with tremendous scale details. This RC plane has been expertly crafted with high-quality components and build standards. This results in an ARF that goes together seamlessly and has great flying manners with an excellent appearance. Scale details like moulded machine guns, scale pilot figure, cockpit details and 8" scale tyres are sure to be appreciated by even the most critical aeromodeller. A shock absorbing main landing gear takes most of the bounce out of grass runways and provides a smooth cushioned landing.

Designed and built to accommodate a variety of 30cc to 60cc engines in either 2 or 4 stroke configuration and even a brushless electric setup in that is your preferred method.
