Hangar 9 Valiant 20cc ARF 86.5" HAN15040

Hangar 9 Valiant 20cc ARF 86.5" HAN15040

The Hangar 9^® Valiant 20cc is a scaled-down yet still giant scale version of the popular 30cc model. This makes it a more practical and affordable alternative that's compatible with popular 20cc petrol engines and equivalent 4S-6S electric power systems. It features the benefits of lightweight and rigid built-up wood construction that's available in both an ARF and a time-saving EP PNP version!

• Designed to accept the optional silver-painted Foam Float and Strut Sets (both sold separately)

Skill Level 4 – Advanced Pilots (Advanced Experience Required)

Skill Level 4 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for advanced RC pilots who already have the skills to assemble, set up and fly similar class models. This ARF version requires more experience and skills to assemble than the PNP version because you will need to select and install a suitable power system and electronics. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly models like the E-flite Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, Turbo Timber SWS 2.0m, Carbon-Z Cessna 150T 2.1m, Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the Valiant 20cc.

Convenience Features

The large, top-mounted and magnetically secured windshield hatch cover makes it easy to install and remove batteries for electric power options, and to access the fuel tank and other components for petrol and glow setups. There's also a second hatch for additional electronics access located on top of the fuselage between the two-piece wings that secure quickly and easily with thumbscrews plus there are slots in the fuselage to hold the wing tube for more convenient storage and transport.

Wood Airframe

The balsa and lite-ply airframe is lightweight yet stiff and strong. Best of all it arrives mostly factory-assembled and finished in genuine UltraCote film covering. The PNP version also includes durable, factory-installed metal-geared and digital Spektrum A6380 servos. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.

Gear Options

Both versions include simple yet durable aluminium landing gear with optional-use wheel pants. Or you can install the optional silver-painted foam float set (EFLA5600S; sold separately) and float strut set (HAN15066; sold separately) sets to fly at large ponds and lakes!

Almost-Ready-To-Fly Flexibility

This Almost-Ready-To-Fly (ARF) version arrives mostly factory assembled with pre-installed hinges and bolt-on tail surfaces that save you considerable time and effort. Plus, it's ready for you to install a 20cc petrol engine, similar-class glow engines, or an equivalent electric power system and the electronics you prefer.
