    PLAAF J-10A with 12-Blade Ultra Performance 8S 90mm EDF Jet from Freewing - PNP - FJ32121P


    Version Note: This is the 8S version which comes with a 90mm 12-Blade EDF 8S Power System with a 4075-1350Kv inrunner brushless motor and a thrust reversing 120A ESC.

    The J-10A is a medium-weight, single-engine multirole aircraft designed for air-to-air combat and other various strike missions. Produced by the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC), the J-10 is used in the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and became operational in 2006. Utilizing its delta-wing aerodynamic configuration with canards and fly-by-wire system, the J-10A is capable of turning in a much tighter radius than conventional aircraft.

    The Freewing J-10A 90mm EDF Jet is a highly detailed, scale version of the real J-10A, and features the J-10 “Red Hawk” livery. One of the most detailed releases from Freewing, the J-10A features 11 daylight bright LED lights, including one to illuminate the Heads Up Display (HUD), many scale detail parts, as well as a quick-release ordnance package. Additionally, the Freewing J-10A utilizes screwless, quick-release wings making transport to and from your flying site a breeze.

        Meh

        not the model. Looks like the attention to detail is excellent and it looks good, but the subject just isn’t that interesting to me.

        it sort of feels like a PRC directive to make something Chinese

        If it had been a Chinese MiG 15, 17, or 19 something with history and character I’d be all over it. But this subject. Not so much

          At least it's not another F-16, A-10, or a P-51.

          Freewing is a Chinese company and there is a huge domestic market. Funny you didn't say the same thing about any "American directive" every time when Freewing introduces a US jet.

          J-10 was a big deal in China at the time of debut.

            Personally it's not for me but I have no problem with diversity. US models are ubiquitous so I enjoy any foreign model just for the sake of diversity. There are some nice scale features here that hint to what's to come for future Freewing models. I look forward to them.

              I like the deltas and already have graphics on order. Going to paint it up as a Israeli Lavi

                I got the 8S version and everything works, but for some reason the ESC will not arm. I will have to open it up and see what is happening. It does look amazing and I can't wait to fly mine.
