FREEWING F-35 LIGHTNING II V2 70MM VECTORED THRUST RC JET

  The Freewing F-35 Lightning flies better than I expected. It's a real floater in the air and landings are a breeze. I took mine up with a 2200 mAh 4s 25c, but it got too hot. Next time I'm taking it up with a higher C rating like 30 or 40. It balances out perfectly with a 2200 mAh. The thrust vectoring is noticeable with its vertical takeoffs, but there are no unwanted surprises. You can watch my flight here Freewing F-35 Flight Video

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighters. The fifth-generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air superiority missions. It has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) variant. On 31 July 2015, the United States Marines declared ready for deployment the first squadron of F-35B fighters after intensive testing. On 2 August 2016, the U.S. Air Force declared its first squadron of F-35A fighters combat-ready.
The F-35 descends from the X-35, the winning design of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. An aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin designed and manufactures it. Other major F-35 industry partners include Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney and BAE Systems. The F-35 first flew on 15 December 2006. The United States plans to buy 2,663 aircraft. Its variants are to provide the bulk of the crewed tactical airpower of the U.S. Air Force, Navy and the Marine Corps over the coming decades. Deliveries of the F-35 for the U.S. military are scheduled until 2037with a projected service life up to 2070.
