Getting into ducted fan R/C airplanes need not be a budget-breaker! Fiberglass doesn't have to cost a fortune! If you're looking for a T-33 or F-80 with proven performance records in the field, where it counts, take a look at our "Gentle Jet" offerings. Both kits include a molded fiberglass fuselage with a pre-fitted, flanged hatch, a molded inlet duct and tailpipe plus a vacuum-formed canopy and belly pan as well as full-size plans and a photo-illustrated construction guide. The included wood parts are either machine or laser cut ply or balsa.

To further simplify your introduction to the exciting world of R/C Jet Modeling, both models have been designed to accept any one of the readily-available 5 inch fan units such as the Dynamax, Ramtec or Turbax III which use any of the popular .65 to .91 displacement ducted fan engines. Both designs use "off-the-shelf" retracts systems rather than expensive or custom-made units.
