Overview

The Hangar 9® Messerschmitt Bf 109F-2 60 plane brings the nimble WWII weapon of the German eastern front in a .60–size warbird that’s as comfortable to fly as a sport model. Its wing incorporates two Selig airfoils, designed for use in RC model warbirds, as well as just the right amount of washout so that you can groove at high speeds, yet still settle in for graceful landings. It’s all-wood structure features construction methods that allow complex curved surfaces to be fully sheeted, which makes the airframe not only as light as possible, but also an exceptional complement to the accurate scale outline. Other scale details include printed UltraCote® film covering with authentic color and markings, operational scale four-section flaps and the option to add E-flite ® electric retracts that raise the warbird experience to ace level.

Whether you’re a sport modeler or a die-hard warbird critic, the Hangar 9 Messerschmitt Bf 109F-2 60 plane is the fighter experience you’ve been waiting for.
