P-38L LIGHTNING SILVER 1600mm PNP electric RC plane

A Legendary Warbird: The P-38 Lightning

The P-38 Lightning played a decisive role during World War II.

Designed by Clarence Johnson and Hal Hibbard, this American fighter was the only one produced continuously from 1941 to 1945.

With over 9,900 units built, including 3,810 P-38L variants, it excelled as an interceptor, reconnaissance aircraft, long-range escort, and ground attack aircraft. Its nickname, "fork-tailed devil", speaks volumes about the fear it instilled.

It was flown by America's most famous aces and played a key role in Operation "Vengeance", shooting down Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's plane in 1943.

An Electric RC Aircraft Designed for Performance

The P-38 Lightning Freewing PNP is designed for easy assembly and transport. Its outer wings detach with four screws, allowing the landing gear to be installed without mounting the wings. The stabilizer is also removable for easy maintenance.

It features advanced specifications:

• Electric retractable landing gear with five sequenced gear doors.

• Daylight LED lighting for enhanced realism.

• Machine guns, aluminum cones, and plastic caps true to the original.

• Four flaps and a detailed cockpit for an immersive experience.

The design faithfully respects the dihedral and wing profile of the real P-38.

Each rudder is directly driven, ensuring precision and responsiveness. The cockpit compartment accommodates two 4S 14.8V (2500–3000mAh) batteries or a single 5000mAh battery, along with the receiver.

Its sturdy frame ensures optimal rigidity, reinforced by carbon wing spars.

Optimal Power and Performance

The P-38 Lightning Freewing is equipped with two 3748-600KV Out-Runner brushless motors and 12x7 three-blade propellers.

With its dual 4S 14.8V power supply or a single 5000mAh battery, this electric RC aircraft reaches top speeds of 130 km/h and performs most aerobatic maneuvers with ease.

Customization and Decals

The P-38 Lightning is available in "Pacific Silver" livery, inspired by the aircraft of the 431st Squadron led by Thomas McGuire, a Medal of Honor recipient.

The "peel and stick" decals, made from ultra-thin adhesive vinyl, allow for easy customization without the need for water.
