This is a 1/8.5 F-20A Raptor Stealth Fighter Jet, custom-built in our Global Jet Club Workshop by our professional aeronautical technicians and engineers. Many improvements were made to make this Stealth Fighter the king of air combat. Many construction upgrade were added to enhance its flight performance and structural strength not found in the original kit. Airframe compositions: Full composite constructions on fuselages, wings and control surfaces for maximum strength and simplicity in maintenance.

ARF PRO UPGRADES (Only Available through Global Jet Club)

Landing Gear Installed, Carbon Fiber Shear plates installed for added strength

Air Cylinders installed (New Generation, CNC air cylinder)

Optional Servo Installation,

New large fuel tanks for your large turbine, (P160 and up)

New Paint Schemes or custom paint schemes available upon request

Scale	Length	Wing Span	Engine Class	Thrust Range	Take off Weight	Center of Gravity (C.G*)
1/8.5	87"/ 2225 mm	63"/ 1595 mm	120N-160N (P120-P160)	26 – 36lbs	30 - 36 lbs	7.36"/187 mm

*Note: C.G measured from the leading edge of the wing roots.

 

Control Channels and Servos required (Recommended)

Elevator	Ailerons	Rudders	Flaps	Nose Steering	Wheel Brakes	Air Brakes	Canopy
2 (JRDS8611)	2 (JRDS3421)	2 (JRDS341)	2 (JRDS8411)	1 (JRDS821)	1 (mini-servo)	NA	1, Optional

 

New Version Airframe custom painted in latest Air Superiority Cammoflage.

ARF PRO includes: Exhaust Pipe, decals, Fuel Tanks, hardware packages, Retracts, wheels, brakes, air tanks, air valves.

Built Tough, Built to withstand high stress.  Metal control mechanism, Titanium rods, CNC machined parts 

Comparisons of Basic ARF and ARF PRO:

1. Basic ARF: Painted in the mold -

Disadvantages: Not scale, seamlines, air bubbles, too glossy to look scale

Advantages: Scratch resistent,  less manual works, less cost to produce

2. ARF Pro: Painted outside the molds. 

Advantages: Realistic appearance, no seamlines, no plastic, glossy appearance, less air bubbles, customized decals, more quality appeal

Disadvantage: More labor intensive, more cost in labor and parts

Safety Advisory for JL F-22 and ARF PRO

There are several possible safety concerns on this plane.  To ensure safe operation of this aircraft we recommend the following improvements.

1. Wing Spars - some models of the F-22 features, double layered Carbon/Fiber wing spars.  They are strong enough under normal use.  However, they have risk of breaking due to defects in materials, stress cracks, small cuts, or damaging when dropped.  This can lead to possible fractures of wing spars, causing the wings to come out.  Although there are no reported incidents on F-22 so far, there are some occurrence on other flight proven aircrafts, such as F18, and L39.  There are over one thousands of them flying out there, though rarely happened, incidents of wing separation after a few flights and hard landings were reported .

Solutions -

1.  Inspect for any damages, if so replace wing section  or

2.  Add aluminum rods in the spars.   The solid aluminum rods increase the strength and yield significantly so that any brittle fracture of wings is not likely under normal flights of airplanes.
