From Pearl Harbor through 1942 the F4F Wildcat was the only
U.S. fighter in the Pacific theater capable of thwarting the
advances of Japan’s naval air forces. And though it was slower
and less maneuverable than the vaunted Zero, its heavier
armor, self-sealing fuel tanks and rugged airframe could often
help a skilled pilot overcome this performance gap and live to
fight another day.
ParkZone brings the legendary Wildcat to life with this great
flying Bind-N-Fly® park flyer modeled after a plane flown by
Lieutenant Commander Edward “Butch” O’Hare – the U.S. Navy’s
first flying ace. Scale touches include a realistic paint scheme,
simulated engine cylinders and cowl flaps, molded wheels
tucked into the fuselage and more.
WARNING:
Although your aircraft comes almost ready to
fly, it is for experienced RC pilots only and is not a toy. Misuse
of the plane can cause serious bodily harm and damage to
property. Therefore, only an experienced RC pilot should fly
it. Because of the high performance nature of this aircraft,
we recommend you only fly in very large open areas or RC
club fields.
