The basic build is simple so that your time at the bench can brief and enjoyable as possible. The hardware package is complete with everything needed for an internal-combustion or electric power installation. Choose a 15cc gas engine such as the easy-to-use Evolution® 15GX, and get long flights that cost only pennies per flight. Engineered into the fuselage is a large top-hatch that allows convenient access and quick electric flight battery changes. The fiberglass cowling provides enough space to conceal any of the recommended engine or motor recommendations. The two-piece, plug-in wing design includes tool-free assembly in addition to ease of transport and storage.
In the air, this Hellcat proves its
heritage with maneuverability that’s rock-solid, friendly stall manners
and a feel at the controls that will have you wanting more. Whether this
F6F Hellcat is your first warbird or a fun addition to a growing fleet,
don’t be surprised if a Hangar 9 ARF is all you’ll ever want to fly.
At a dire moment of WWII the U.S. Navy was desperate for a fighter
capable of returning the wallop enemy aircraft were serving. Grumman
Aircraft answered the call with not just a capable aircraft, but a match
that could be produced quickly and in massive numbers. Pilots of the
new F6F Hellcat returned fire and then some by downing more foes over
the Pacific than any other aircraft. Today, the roar of a Hellcat is an
air show treat that embodies the rewards freedom and hard work has to
offer.

Lightweight Construction
Laser-cut, lightweight balsa and plywood construction is utilized to
bring the F6F Hellcat 15cc to life as a great looking model that's
constructed to exacting standards and the needs of the sport pilot.
Ease of Assembly
Light wing-loading and a semi-symmetrical airfoil offer flight
performance that’s comfortable at a wide range of speeds. Spektrum™
standard-size servos are the ideal choice for completing the assembly
with performance that feels crisp.
Power It the Way You Want It
The F6F Hellcat 15cc Sport Scale ARF is designed so that the
Evolution® 15GX, 15cc gas engine, Saito FG-21B gas four-stroke or the
E-flite® electric Power 60B brushless outrunner bolt straight in. All
hardware for each power system option is included along with an electric
motor mount so you can install the assembly right away and get into the
air faster. The Hangar 9 F6F Hellcat 15cc ARF is also the perfect
replacement airframe for the stock motor, ESC, and recommended flight
battery used in the giant E-flite® Carbon-Z® T-28.
Scale Detail
Beyond the factory applied genuine UltraCote® covering and the
beautiful finish it provides, other iconic details include a dummy
engine, simulated cowl flaps molded into the matching fiberglass cowl
and a painted pilot figure, just to name a few. Plus, you can
personalize this Hellcat easily by choosing one of the three nose-art
decals provided.
Optional Retracts
Rugged fixed landing gear allows you to keep the project simple. Or,
you can take the scale experience to the next level with the
installation of optional E-flite® 60–120, 95° Electric Rotating Retracts
(EFLG520, sold separately). They feature all-metal durability, a great
fit and only require an open channel on your receiver to operate.
