We have taken our award winning 100% scale LTV A-7 Corsair II design and made it available as a true turbine ARF! Encompassing all of the scale features from our existing A-7 kit, the ARF will come out of the box ready for your electronics installation. Factory built, the aircraft comes with pre-hinged control surfaces (ailerons, rudder, flaps, and full flying elevators), pre-hinged scale landing gear doors, hatches cut and pinned, pre-built and fibreglassed wing which comes pre mounted (no gluing required!), and much more! This aircraft is a proven performer with both ducted fan and turbine power. Its great high wing configuration and stability make it a perfect turbine trainer! The high lift provided by the A-7's fixed droop leading edge, coupled with trailing edge
flaps, allows for very positive control at incredibly slow flight speeds. The aircraft possesses a long glide, making it very docile to land while the high lift wing requires only moderate take-off speeds to become airborne. The A-7 can be operated with a minimum of 5 channels and up to as many as 7 channels with flaps and speed brakes.
Initially the ARF A-7D will be offered in the Edwards Air Force Base paint scheme; the A-7E will be offered in Desert Storm. The kit may also be ordered in primer. Primarily setup for turbine, kits will be built for ducted fan use also including preinstalled ducting and fan mounts.
We are always more than happy to answer any questions you have, so please feel free to call .
