Uncompromised, Scale EDF Performance!
The Iconic F-100D is the first of the USAF’s legendary “Century Series” fighters that ushered in the era of supersonic military
aircraft. The F-100D also known as “the Hun” served in a variety of roles including air-to-air fighter, attack fighter, and also
served on several demonstration teams.
Designed by multi-time Top Gun Champion David Ribbe, the model F-100D is brought to life in a convenient, yet uncompromised
package. David spent countless hours on every detail, from the complicated aerodynamics of the intake and tail pipe, to the
smallest of scale markings, not only to provide scale realism, but also incredible flight performance.
With two color scheme options available, you can emulate your favorite Thunderbird, or take your camouflaged F-100D back to
that bombing mission in Vietnam. Both trim scheme variants include premium water slide decals so you can customize your
F-100D with various squadron variants or select your favorite Thunderbird to represent. All other common decals come
applied at the factory.
The Aura 8 Advanced Flight Control System comes programmed and installed in the F-100D, making setup a breeze. This highly-
refined 3-axis gyro makes the F-100D fly like it is a larger aircraft and in less wind. Thanks to the Aura’s advanced implementation,
it not only enhances the flying experience, but never interferes with pilot’s control.
These features combine to offer a jet that carries energy, flies big, and performs more like a large turbine jet than a typical
foam EDF. Want a scale EDF like no other? The Flex Innovations F-100D is the ticket to uncompromised scale EDF performance.
