Introduction
The North American F-86 Sabre was the first US fighter aircraft designed using the German
research that showed a 35 degree thin swept wing gave superior transonic performance. The
Sabre was the equal of its well-known Korean War opponent, the Mig-15. It was the highest
production US jet fighter ever made, with total production of 9860 units. It was manufactured
in many variants, and the Navy FJ fighter was a modified version suited for carrier operations.
It was the first fighter equipped with air-to-air missiles, and later versions were supersonic in a
dive. All in all, it is a classic.
While Arrows Hobby has introduced a number of EDF jets, from the hand tossed Viper to the
high end MiG-29 and F-15, our engineering team began with the Marlin 64mm EDF, still the
best EDF trainer made. The F-86 is the successor to the Marlin with fixed gear for strength and
the same full 5-channel performance with flaps. The plane has excellent performance and agi-
lity at high speed and stability during landings.
The smooth 12-blade 64mm fan sounds more realistic than older 5-blade 64mm units others
use. Because of the more powerful 2840 3150KV motor and a 40 amp ESC, this plane is capa-
ble of top performance even though it is larger than other 64mm F-86’ s, with maneuvers
such as rolling, diving, looping and inverted flight. The quick release landing gear allow for fast
transition from ground take-off to hand launch and facilitates easy transport.
The EPO foam is tough and at 820mm length and 860mm wingspan, it is a perfect 1/10 scale
of the original full-scale plane. The contours, panel lines and markings are highly accurate and
realistic. The special water-based paint has a very realistic look. Assembly is fast and simple
using only a few screws. Get ready for a new experience in EDF’ s with the Arrows 64mm F-86
Sabre.
