Introduction
E-flite takes scale ARF ducted fan performance and
engineering to new heights with the F-4 Phantom
32 DF. Designed around the E-flite ® Delta-V ® 32
80mm fan unit and 2150Kv DF32 brushless motor, its
bifurcated intake and exhaust, which are engineered
for best performance, allow this potent combo to
produce large amounts of thrust when powered with
an E-flite 6S 5000mAh 30C Li-Po pack. And it does
so without resorting to drag-inducing cheater holes.
The result is a sport EDF with exhilarating speed that
will give even experienced jet jockeys goose bumps.
The Platinum Series E-flite ® ducted fan F-4 Phantom DF
32 also boasts a level of fit and finish that is every bit
as impressive as its performance. Its sleek fiberglass
fuselage comes pre-painted and integrates the vertical
stabilizer. The fully-sheeted wings are mounted with
carbon blade spars and the full flying stabilator is
preassembled from the factory to ensure accuracy.
And it’s covered with genuine UltraCote ® covering for
the best look and finish. Just add the optional E-flite
electric retracts (sold separately), and you’ve got a
scale jet that truly stands out from the crowd.
