About

The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is the world's first operational stealth aircraft, developed in secrecy by Lockheed's Skunk Works under Ben Rich and first flown on June 18, 1981. The faceted external surface was the key to the type's stealth — flat planes carefully oriented to reflect radar energy away from the source — and the F-117 opened the 1991 Gulf War as the first stealth aircraft to fly in combat.

This RC variant adds a smoke system to the basic F-117 airframe — an unusual combination of the stealth-aesthetic faceted silhouette with the visual signature of a smoke trail typical of display aircraft. The pairing makes for a distinctive RC scale subject — the kind of model where the smoke system foregrounds the airframe's unusual angular shape during display flying.

The same demanding stealth-fighter handling as the standard F-117 in this same pack, with an added smoke trail for display-style flying.
