Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the E-flite ® P-40 Warhawk
300 ARF. On paper, the P-40 was outclassed by many
of the foes it faced. But in the hands of the pilots of the
American Volunteers Group, the Warhawk was used
to deadly effect against “superior” Zeros. Their exploits
made the iconic shark-toothed grin of the “Flying
Tigers” a symbol of victory for the Allies and cause for
concern to any enemy pilot that encountered it.
E-flite has captured the spirit of the Tigers in this fun-
to-fly recreation of the P-40 that goes together fast
and is small enough to fly in the park. It comes out
of the box loaded with scale details like an authentic
Flying Tigers paint scheme and molded panel lines. It
also comes equipped with a factory-installed 300 BL
outrunner motor that will provide plenty of power for
warbird aerobatics like loops, rolls and Immelmans. Its
simple 3-channel control setup means you only need to
buy two servos – one for aileron and one for elevator
– making it even more affordable to get flying. When
you’re not flying, you can show off its scale looks with
included static display stand.
