Dubbed the “Manned Missile”, the F104 has served air forces all over the world for decades, becoming one of the world’s most produced jet fighters. The short, stubby wings didn’t dampen our enthusiasm to develop an F104 for electric ducted fan propulsion, but they did demand some serious design analysis to ensure the model performs the way a Starfighter should. Due to the small wing area, light weight is vitally important for optimum performance. For this reason, similar construction techniques to the EDF Panther have been adopted. The fuselage is moulded from epoxy/glass and comes pre-primed, as do the epoxy/glass wingtanks. The wings are moulded glass/foam sandwich construction with carbon fibre spars. The model is designed for the Wemotec Minifan, and high performance brushless motors. The moulded epoxy/glass inlet ducting is designed for maximum efficiency and is also very light. A vacuum formed clear canopy completes the list of moulded parts. A pre-cut balsa tailplane is supplied, as are all fuselage internal structural components.
