Version Info: As of 2/5/2024 this upgraded model now comes with the upgraded 3658-2150Kv inrunner brushless motor and a newly designed 12-Blade EDF.
The Gripen’s unique delta wing and canard configuration endows it with excellent agility, most notably a tighter turning radius than the American F-16! Flown by more than a dozen NATO countries, the Gripen is a Mach 2 multi-role fighter whose 25 year service history continues onward with distinction. Has raised the bar again for RC foam electric delta winged jets with the Gripen. This jet is precisely modeled for scale fidelity and practical RC performance, and assembles in minutes including pre-installed electronics and LED lighting. Powered by our popular 80mm 9-blade Inrunner EDF and a 100A ESC, the Gripen is designed for power! At ~1/9 scale and 1613mm/63” in length, the Gripen is longer than its predecessor, the Typhoon/Eurofighter. Referencing the full size Gripen’s short take-off capabilities, the Gripen is optimized for short take-offs and surviving unkempt landing strips.
Recommended for intermediate to advanced skill level pilots, the Gripen offers the power, size and speed of a 90mm super scale jet, in a lighter, faster, and more economical 80mm EDF Series package. Full-functioning canards enable high agility, and full-coverage gear doors improve the airframe’s overall aerodynamics.
