64mm Freewing F9F Panther Blue EDF Jet - Receiver Ready (PNP) - FJ10321P

Version Info: This is the updated F9F Panther which includes a new livery.

Are you looking for your first EDF jet or are you a more advanced pilot looking for a new EDF? Look no further. While great for people new to EDF jets, The Freewing F9F Panther is fast and agile enough for experienced pilots too. The Freewing F9F is one of our favorite jets. While this F9F Panther EDF is not for beginner flyers, it is perfect for the intermediate flyer looking for their first EDF jet. There is not an easier EDF jet to fly.

Unlike many EDF jets, the Freewing F9F actually floats for an extended period of time without throttle (assuming a correct CG). The F9F is powerful enough to loop and has a fantastic roll rate. We recommend hand launching and belly landing in the grass for pilots new to EDF jets. The F9F is built from durable EPO foam and uses nylon hinges. While a 1600 mAh LiPo is recommended, a 2200 mAh battery can be used by more experienced pilots with minor modification to the battery compartment. We highly recommend a high wing trainer for beginners and proficiency with at least one low wing plane before attempting to fly an EDF jet.

Note: Please sand the paint off on the fuselage and wing surface prior to gluing together.

Looks like duplicate threads, so I’ll ask the question again. Why didn’t you upgrade it to 4s? All the freewing 64mm birds are so much better at 4s including this panther.

[Evan D]

That is a good question. I texted my group yesterday about it half said ok but it needs 4S the other half said “6S!!!”

[Gilatrout]

One of the things I absolutely despise on a model are stickers. The color never matches the background and the whole model suffers.

[Evan D]

Unfortunate that they went that way with them.
