The F-104 StarFighter earned many nicknames during its career, from "the missile with a man in it" to the less complimentary "Widow-maker". There is no doubting that the tiny wing area made the F-104 tricky to fly, particularly when several NATO countries demanded more and more ordinance to be fitted and also drop tanks to extend range. The F-104 was primarily designed as an ultra fast interceptor, and this model shares some similar characteristics with the full size aircraft!
Yes, it is fast, yes, it has a fast climb rate, and yes, it can be tricky if you dont pay attention, especially in terms of roll rate, take it from us, we know! Our advise is to set aileron movements to minimal and add a decent amount of Expo.
A fast model and a fast build, all servos are pre-installed and you have the choice of using the supplied fixed landing gear or hand-launching, which is surprisingly easy thanks to the F-104s combination of light-weight and high thrust from the pre-installed 70mm EDF unit. The Lipoly tray is easy access and a prefect size for the required 2200mAh 4s Lipoly (not included) feel like living in the danger zone without spending too many Bucks? This StarFighter might just be for you!
