The F-86 Sabre was the first US swept wing jet fighter and found fame in the 1950s Korean conflict. The main adversary of the Sabre was the Mig 15, which was superior to the Sabre in terms zoom rate and armament, despite this, the kill ratio in the Korean conflict was 10:1 in favour of the Sabre courtesy of a superb aircraft combined with experienced and aggressive WW2 veteran fighter pilots.
This superb model really looks the part, pre-painted in the RCAF Golden Hawks Display Team livery and featuring plenty of molded panel line detail, this Sabre is a really nice representation of one of the most famous Cold War jet fighters and there is even a full scale cockpit and pilot available to add that final finishing touch*
Small enough to bungee launch, the under-side has been left complete so no unsightly under-carriage holes to spoil the look or you can fit the supplied fixed gear with a few minutes effort , experienced modelers could fit retracts with a bit of work. The supplied 90mm fan unit has huge potential and there is no doubt, speed will not be an issue. The pre-fitted flaps will keep landing speeds sensible and when you put together the scale looks, speed, amazing flight performance and practicality of this Sabre, this is a model that truly gives the RC jet pilot the best of all worlds.

Yes big possibiliy it might be visible due to the size or number of batterys. Though if lets say you go 6s.... Do 3s 2peaces and theyll fit better..... I dont have this plane but I lnow from previous sabres
YES IT MAY FIT JUST LIKE THE E FLITE IS WICH USE'S 1- 4S LIPO ,IF YOU WANT TO RUN 6S U MAY HAVE TO USE 3S1P (ON THE SIDES OF THE DUCTED WORK 3300SIZE LIPO
This appears to be the US NAVY variant of the F-86 named the FJ3. The intake shape and the flat horizontal stabilizer are different than the F-86 sabre. The USAF Sabre had some dihedral in the horizontal stab. This would make an excellent and rare jet model with a nice scale paint job.
Cool, thanks for the information, I found out the Fj3 came first and the f-86 sabre derived from it. Its nice that its something you don't see everyday at the local field.
I wonder how much of the turtle deck is glass and how much is plastic ? Next question, the sabre or the viper ? Now if only HK could fix my order problems from March I could afford to buy both.
me acaba de llegar mi jet sabre 86 y no tiene manual d eensanblaje algunos de los quen ya lo armaron nos podrian indicar de como van las cosas o donde conseguir manual gracias .

Really nice paint job ... like glass. Good quality fiberglass fuselage. Built well. I added epoxy to a few places just for my own preference. Flys very fast with the stock 90mm fan. I upgraded to a better fan and motor and this thing does a little over 100 mph. Hope this will be stocked in the USA warehouse soon so the shipping charge isn't too much. I'd like to buy another.

There are no instructions with mine. I would have liked to get some idea as to where and how to fit gear to this plane.

Well packaged, customs ripped box open and only damage was top canopy frame, 1 little crack. All parts supplied weigh 1280kg, fly weight will be aprox 2700kg including tri retracts. Superb model, length 1020mm width 1040mm. Retracts already cut out in wing, just covered over, nose ret imprint as well, servo cutout imprints in wing also. Wing balsa covered foam and painted over cover sheet. Gobs of room for batteries and whatever is your flavour of the day to fly with. 10/10 Hobbyking, lets see more of these real looking a/model RC's.
