1/9 Plane 1700mm F7F Tigercat Blue PNP kit

FMS 1700mm F7F Tigercat Blue PNP -- 170 cm wingspan

Classic American warplane in a modern RC version

After almost two years of development and continuous improvement, FMS presents this impressive recreation of the legendary F7F Tigercat. With a 170 cm wingspan and authentic detailing, this is far more than just an RC plane – it is a collector's item for enthusiasts. The aircraft combines scale looks with performance and stability, perfect for aerial combat manoeuvres and challenging flying.

The design builds on FMS's experience with classic warplanes. Quick and simple assembly without tools, just screws. The latest multi-connect technology streamlines the wing system and eliminates wiring problems, so assembly and disassembly take minimal time. The well-designed battery bay makes the best use of the space in the fuselage and gives flexibility in battery choice. The whole airframe is fitted with scale plastic parts: landing gear doors, cowl, dummy engine and machine guns. The detailing includes rivets, panel lines, a pilot figure and bright LED lights. CNC-machined metal landing gear withstands hard landings – with 62 mm front wheels and 84 mm rear wheels suitable for both tarmac and grass.

The power system consists of two 4258-KV460 brushless motors and two 60A ESCs with 10A UBEC. With the recommended 6S 5000mAh 45C battery, it delivers powerful performance for aggressive manoeuvres. The pack contains 4 different decal sets in the blue colour version, so you can personalise your own Tigercat.
