another classic Korean War vintage fighter aircraft. Having served
with the Blue Angels, the F9F-8 Cougar is fully
aerobatic and can perform all maneuvers as performed by the full
size Blue Angels pilots. This kit offers ease of maintenance,
a very scale appearance, excellent flying characteristics, and
a proven internal airflow system, for all of these were considerations
as part of the design phase. Also, the F9F-8 Cougar's
flying characteristics offer a very stable performance throughout
all regimes of flight and this aircraft has been recorded reaching
speeds upwards of 170 mph with a turbine! This aircraft lends
