AVIAO FW T-45 GOSHAWK HIGH PERFORMANCE 90MM EDF V2 PNP JET FJ30715P

Freewing T-45 Goshawk High Performance 90mm EDF Jet V2 - PNP

This is the High Performance version which includes, as of 2/8/2024, a newly designed 3668-1960Kv inrunner motor with 12-blade EDF and a thrust reversing 120A ESC. This version also boasts an approximate 9% weight reduction from the original version, accomplished by removing the heavy slat system. The resulting reduction in weight noticeably improves the T-45's top speed, ease of landing, and overall flying characteristics.

The T-45 Goshawk is a fully carrier-capable version of the British Aerospace Hawk Mk.60. It was developed as a jet flight trainer for the US Navy and Marine Corps. The Goshawk's origins began in the mid-1970s, when the Navy began looking for replacement for its T-2 and TA-4 trainers. British Aerospace and McDonnell Douglas proposed a version of the Hawk and were awarded the T-45 contract in 1981. The Goshawk first flew in 1988 and became operational in 1991.

The Freewing T-45 sets itself apart from the competition with numerous scale details and innovative features such as servo actuated speed brakes. Other plastic details include a row of turbulators on the wings, exhaust nozzle, pitot tubes, antennas, arrestor hook, and cockpit parts. The sequenced landing gear utilize a four part nose door like the real T-45 and a three part main door assembly. The struts replicate the stance of the T-45, complete with long travel trailing link mains and a nose strut with tow bar and landing light. All control surfaces, lights, and doors are managed by a single junction board complete with quick disconnect wing harnesses, providing a very tidy cockpit. Say goodbye to unsightly jumbles of wires in your battery bay!

Intended as a "Scale Plus" flyer, the Freewing T-45 Goshawk excels in scale maneuvers and stability throughout its flight envelope. The Freewing T-45's climb rate, roll rate, top speed, and overall agility are virtually identical to the Freewing Stinger 90 jet. With speed brakes and flaps deployed, the T-45 can land at a slow jogging pace and is the most stable of all Freewing's large jets in the landing pattern. The T-45 cruises at 50% throttle and we measured an average top speed of 90mph. With its scale landing gear, lights, and other details, the Freewing 90mm T-45 Goshawk will be the gem of any RC pilot's jet fleet and offers pilots an easier flight experience compared to similar jets in this size.
