Freewing present the new F-35 Lightning II, a cutting-edge model that embraces the modern Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) era. Redesigned from the ground up, this aircraft features a larger size, increased speed, enhanced accuracy, greater power, and improved ease of flight compared to Freewing's older 2010 version. The 2019 F-35 boasts a high level of scale fidelity, including precise modeling of the exterior shape with correct nose and tail features, stealthy facets, and authentic RAM paneling. The intricate paint job, with over 15 paint molds and multi-color factory-applied decals, creates a realistic effect.

Powered by an inrunner motor and a 12-blade 70mm EDF, the 2019 F-35 is ideal for pilots seeking a modern generation aircraft with flight characteristics similar to the popular Freewing 90mm F-22 but at a lower operating cost. Major improvements include the use of EPO foam, a stronger power system, a wing spar with detachable wings, and a relocated top-mounted battery hatch for easy access to the battery bay. The model features a no-glue assembly, and all flying surfaces attach via screws for convenient transport, servicing, and replacement.

Functional enhancements include pre-installed electric landing gear with aluminum suspension struts for reliable grass operation, and full flying horizontal stabilizers with a durable plastic-to-plastic hinge joint. The F-35's design addresses the issues of weak landing gear and elevators found in older models. Optimized as a 70mm jet trainer, this model is perfect for pilots transitioning to EDF jets, offering opportunities to practice essential skills before advancing to larger aircraft. The F-35 utilizes the same 6s 4000mAh and 5000mAh batteries as 80mm and 90mm EDFs, providing flexibility and efficiency. With a 6s power system, it offers 4-5 minutes of mixed throttle flight, allowing for fast speeds and confident takeoffs from short grass runways. Despite its stealthy F-35 outline, the model is aerodynamically optimized for easy landings, aligning with the performance expectations of modern EDF enthusiasts.
