> Approach Fuselage Kit  >  AH-1F Cobra Electric	Printable Version

AH-1F eCobra AP102 This Cobra helicopter fuselage has been very popular with the growing electric helicopter market. Scale pilots previously had very few choices in scale fuselages in the current trend of 500 class electric models. Approach Engineering has creatively reproduced this fuselage for electric models like the Swift and the Logo 10. AP102  AH-1F eCobra Scale Fuselage Assembly Kit  $268.00

The Cobra was introduced during the Vietnam conflict as a result of the Army needing an advanced and dedicated gunship for anti-tank warfare. The AH-1F variant was the most technologically advanced gunship until the 1970s when the twin engine Cobras were commissioned. The AH-1F was deployed in both Desert Shield (1990-91) in Saudi Arabia and along side the Apache in operation Desert Storm (1991).

This AH-1F model has been designed for the Swift and Logo 10 with a rotorspan up to 50" [127cm] but due to its light weight at 10oz [284g], it can accept similar sized electric mechanics. While each modeler decides how much detail is added, each kit includes the TSU (telescopic sight unit), 20mm three-barrel cannon, 7 tube FFAR rocket launchers and Tow missile launchers. New modelers should be aware that between receiving your new AH-1F eCobra fuselage kit and finishing the model can take between 2 to 6 weeks, depending on how much time you can commit to building and finishing.
