General Information

A design of the Elster Jet Team - Ralph Losemann and Enrico Thaeter.

Why invent the wheel if somebody already did it? Why not build on a successful concept and perfect it with decades of all composite production experience? That way, put a jet airplane on the market, which is going to be the ultimate milestone for extreme lightweight construction, structural strength, and 3D aerobatic performance? CARF Models thought so and teamed up with Ralph and Enrico to rework and kit their world-famous J-10 model, which they had initially scratch-built and perfected over 4 flying seasons. CARF Models added their production experience and sense of scale, creating something truly unique in the model jet market. The idea was to make this breathtaking design available to all modelers who want to experience 3D Jet performance at its BEST!

Features

So, what do you get with a CARF Models J-10 kit? Basically, the typical CARF values and so much more:
 

  • Lightweight total-area vacuum sandwich parts from glass, Kevlar, and carbon
  • Original design features taken over from the original airplane such as engine position, thrust vector design, fuselage separation, canard installation
  • Serious facelift at nose, canopy and fin area, improving scale appearance
  • Ultra-strong and lightweight landing gear mounts, installed with complex jigs right in the molds
  • Airfoils and other dimensions unchanged
  • Painted in the molds in the 2013 scheme, single color or any custom scheme you can imagine
  • Fuel tanks, plumbing materials, and a thrust vector „tumble tub " with all linkages and mounts
  • A comprehensive manual from the original designers, plus other accessories.
   
 

Conclusion

The CARF Models Chengdu J-10 will always be a very special product with the potential to follow the legacy of world-famous designs such as Kangaroo, Flash/Ultra Flash and Eurosport. We at CARF Models are thankful and proud that Ralph and Enrico have entrusted us with carrying their J-10 to the next level and making her available to all of you!
