Default AF-Models composite T-45

Banana Hobbies has been importing the foam AF turbine models for a few years. Last year they came out with the foam T-45 which is a wonderful flying jet. Now they are coming out with a composite version. I was given the opportunity to take a production sample and go have fun with it. It has been a blast to fly. The first production jets are just arriving in the US. I’m still waiting for the cockpit kit

I’m using the same Swiwin AceX80 that I used in the foam T-45 and L-39. The jet weighs 18.2lb with a full uat. So it scoots around fine.



The one in the rear is the foam version.

Awesome. I love this size, I just can't do a foam jet so it's nice to see other options. Looks like it flies great as well. I see they made the L-39 in a composite version as well.

Yes they do. I haven’t had a chance to see the L-39. I have the foam version and it flies great.

its the same nose gear as the foam version. The gear doors aren’t scale on the composite version.

Ah ok. Thats the thing what I saw with a quick look. Scale bells and whistles make it better
I prefer the looks of t45 over normal Hawk.
