US Navy's Naval Flight Demonstration Squadron (Blue Angels)
Model Built by Dan Savage

This sport-scale, radio control model airplane kit of the F-4 Phantom II is designed to use most 900-1500w, 90mm tractor fans. It will accept most mini retractable landing gear or you can use a bungee launch system instead.

The inlet ducts and fuselage have been simplified to speed construction but sacrifice nothing for scale appearance or performance. The full-flow inlet ducting is area-ruled for maximum efficiency.

All fuselage and wing sheeting is of the finest balsa available and is included with the deluxe kit along with all balsa strip stock.
