The new Tower Hobbies F6F Hellcat EP is designed for the modeler looking for a simple,
bolt-together aircraft that requires minimal experience. This plane fits the bill nicely for
someone looking to get into a scale warbird design that will fly almost anywhere. The
Hellcat is one of three small receiver-ready warbirds that have just been introduced.
Tower Hobbies also distributes a Corsair and a P- 51 of the same size. The Hellcat is
designed to use the 1000Kv outrunner brushless motor that comes pre-installed. It is
hooked up to a 30-amp ESC and has a nice 3-bladed prop and aluminum prop hub. Four
9-gram servos are installed from the factory.
