JAS 39 Gripen 80mm EDF Jet - PNP from Freewing - FJ21811P
The JAS 39 Gripen’s unique delta wing and canard configuration endows it with excellent agility, most notably a tighter turning radius than the American F-16! Flown by more than a dozen NATO countries, the Gripen is a Mach 2 multi-role fighter whose 25 year service history continues onward with distinction.
Freewing has raised the bar again for RC foam electric delta winged jets with the JAS 39 Gripen. This jet is precisely modeled for scale fidelity and practical RC performance, and assembles in minutes including pre-installed electronics and LED lighting. Powered by our popular 80mm 9-blade Inrunner EDF and a 100A ESC, the Freewing Gripen is designed for power! At ~1/9 scale and 1613mm/63” in length, the Freewing Gripen is longer than its predecessor, the Freewing Typhoon/Eurofighter. Referencing the full size Gripen’s short take-off capabilities, the Freewing Gripen is optimized for short take-offs and surviving unkempt landing strips.
Recommended for intermediate to advanced skill level pilots, the Freewing Gripen offers the power, size and speed of a 90mm super scale jet, in a lighter, faster, and more economical 80mm EDF Series package. Full-functioning canards enable high agility, and full-coverage gear doors improve the airframe’s overall aerodynamics.
Impressive Size
Measuring over 63” long, the Freewing Gripen delivers powerhouse performance in a field-friendly size. A 12” removable nosecone makes transportation a breeze!
High Scale Fidelity
Fly the world’s first electric Gripen with all the “bells and whistles” of larger EDF class sizes. Lights, suspensions struts, full-coverage gear doors, and optional upgrade paths!
Full Function Canards
A rarity in the RC EDF Jet world, full function canards give you full command of the Freewing Gripen’s exhilarating flight envelope in both pitch and roll!
Pre-Installed LED Lighting
The Freewing Gripen features pre-installed DayBright LED Lighting out-of-the-box, using red and green position lights and a bright white landing light.
Inrunner Power!
Achieve top speeds above 170kph/105mph with our popular and powerful 1920kv brushless Inrunner power system and 9 blade reinforced EDF unit!
Grass-Ready Retracts
Durable aluminum suspension struts are concealed by full-coverage landing gear doors for optimal aerodynamics. All-new specially designed trailing link main struts soak up rough runways with ease.
A Century of Service
True-to-life “Heritage” markings commemorate the Czech Air Force’s 100th Anniversary, having fought from 1918-2018 alongside the Allies from World War 2 to various NATO Coalition conflicts to the present day.
Honor the past to preserve the future!
Upgradeable
Optional 3DPUP (“3D Printed Upgrade Part”) Sets, sold separately, will be made available in late 2020. These sets include a 360 degree 3DTV Thrust Vectoring Nozzle Set that pilots can install themselves using basic hobby skills.
