Introduction to the A-6E Intruder EDF Jet
This manual provides detailed instructions for the Freewing A-6E Intruder 80mm EDF Jet. The A-6 Intruder was a significant all-weather, carrier-based attack aircraft used by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps from 1963 to 1997. Known for its ability to operate effectively in adverse weather and low altitudes, the A-6 Intruder remains a respected aircraft.
Freewing has meticulously recreated this iconic aircraft as a highly simulated 80mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) jet model. This model is available in two versions: a 4S battery standard version and a 6S battery upgrade version, offering flexibility in price and performance to suit a wider range of enthusiasts.
The A-6 Intruder model boasts a wingspan of 1174 mm, making it convenient for transport. It features an 80mm EDF power system, providing enhanced performance compared to smaller EDF jets. Key features include functional flaps, a removable control surface design, electric retractable landing gear, and a robust full metal damping landing gear system for the 6S version.
With its flaps and excellent flight characteristics, this model offers smooth low-altitude and slow-speed flight, mirroring the real aircraft's capabilities. Please note that this is a high-performance model aircraft and not a toy. It is recommended for operators aged 14 and above, with supervision for younger pilots.
