Introduction

No fighter deserves more credit for saving Britain 

in its darkest hour than the Hawker Hurricane. It’s 

simple construction allowed it to be manufactured 

in large numbers and it could be quickly repaired 

in the field using basic tools. And, despite being 

slower than the vaunted Spitfire, the Hurricane could 

out turn many of the enemy fighters it faced and 

bring its eight Browning machine guns to bear with 

devastating effect. This surprising maneuverability 

combined with its sheer numbers are two big 

reasons the humble Hurricane shot down more 

enemy aircraft in the Battle of Britain than any other 

Allied fighter.
Now you can experience the thrill of flying the 

Hurricane in this remarkably scale rendition 

constructed of tough Z-Foam

 material. The Plug-

N-Play

®

 version comes out of the box with a high-

output brushless power system, digital metal-hybrid 

gear servos, and functional split flaps preinstalled. 

Even the authentic RAF No. 1 Squadron paint 

scheme and decals have been pre-applied. If 

you choose the Bind-N-Fly

®

 version, you get all 

of this plus a Spektrum

 AR600 DSMX receiver 

preinstalled, as well as an E-flite 3S 3200 mAh 30C 

Li-Po battery and Li-Po charger.
All that is left to complete is a few minutes of final 

assembly. You also get the option of installing E-flite

®

 

15-25 Electric Retracts (EFLG200- sold separately). 

Installation is simple, and when you’re done, you 

will have a unique, scale warbird that will be the 

envy of the flying field!
