Even though it may not be immediately obvious, the F9F Panther ranks as one of the classic old-timer jets. The machine was designed by Grumman in the period after 1945, as the company’s first jet aircraft. As such, the Panther was following in the footsteps of Grumman’s other famous felines, such as the Hellcat and Bearcat. The F9F completed its first flight in November 1947, and first saw active service in the Korean War, where it was employed primarily in the ground combat role. At that time its opponent was the MiG 15 - the classic from the Soviet camp. Since the Panther could operate from ships as well as land bases, it was flown both by the US Navy and the Marines. The Panther F9F has many characteristic features, including a round fuselage cross-section, graceful, flowing lines, unswept wings, and tip tanks of elegant shape.

The model
The F9F’s fuselage is lithe and cat-like, but at the same time capacious, making it an excellent choice for the installation of an electric ducted fan (EDF) power system. The obvious type is a 90 mm impeller, not least because such a wide choice of units is available, and the model’s air ducts are already prepared for this impeller diameter. Fitted with a suitable motor, the model offers an above-average flight performance with such a system, but it is also possible to install an even larger ducted fan unit (up to approx. 110 mm Ø) at the builder’s discretion.

Features:
- Components produced from CNC-machined moulds for super-accurate parts fit
- Maximum pre-fabrication
- all-GRP construction
- Air ducts factory-installed
- Pigmented surfaces of the highest quality
- Optimum airframe strength combined with minimum weight - Ample space for the receiving system and batteries (> 20 sub-C cells max.)
- The option of retro-fitting a slightly larger power system
- Docile flying characteristics despite the high performance
- RC-Functions: Elevator, Ailerons, Motor control.
