If
you are a fan of military, you’ll understand the glorious history of
the Flying Tiger. The Flying Tiger played an important role and had a
brilliant record in China during WWII. To pay homage to this classic
warbird, FMS has revived it AGAIN after numerous further studies and
tests. In the real battleground, P-40s were not as devastating as P-51s.
However, in the RC model world, the FMS P-40 shows extraordinary
talents. The stable flying performance could rival any of the other
warbirds. The new high-magnification foaming greatly lowers the flying
weight. The scaled appearance allows it to be a static exhibit. The
metal shock-absorbing landing gear set could undertake severe impact and
lead to a smooth landing. The separating flaps, the front and rear
retract, the plastic decorative parts fully reappear on this classic
warbird. Newly designed ball link control hardware replaces traditional
clevises. The additional servo box makes it more simpler to assemble and
take apart. The 17g metal gear servo, 70A ESC, and 4258 motor ensure
the superior quality of flight.
History The
Flying Tigers, known officially as the 1st American Volunteer Group
(AVG), were a unit of the Chinese Air Force, recruited from U.S.
aviators. From late 1941, the P-40B was used by the Flying Tigers. They
were divided into three pursuit squadrons, the "Adam & Eves", the
"Panda Bears" and the "Hell's Angels"
Compared to opposing
Japanese fighters, the P-40B's strengths were that it was sturdy, well
armed, faster in a dive and possessed an excellent rate of roll. While
the P-40s could not match the maneuverability of the Japanese Army air
arm's Nakajima Ki-27s and Ki-43s, nor the much more famous Zero naval
fighter in a slow speed turning dogfight, at higher speeds the P-40s
were more than a match. AVG leader Claire Chennault trained his pilots
to use the P-40's particular performance advantages.[50] The P-40 had a
higher dive speed than any Japanese fighter aircraft of the early war
years, for example, and could be used to exploit so-called
"boom-and-zoom" tactics. The AVG was highly successful, and its feats
were widely published, to boost sagging public morale at home, by an
active cadre of international journalists. According to their official
records, in just 6 1/2 months, the Flying Tigers destroyed 115 enemy
aircraft for the loss of just four of their own in air-to-air combat.
