The Grumman F9F/F-9 Cougar is a carrier-based fighter aircraft for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. Based on Grumman’s earlier F9F Panther, the Cougar replaced the Panther’s straight wing with a more modern swept wing. Thrust was also increased with the installation of a newer, more powerful engine.

The Freewing F9F-8 Cougar is a next-gen 80mm EDF jet loaded with amenities and details normally reserved for 90mm class jets. This ARF PLUS version of the Cougar includes ultra-scale CNC landing gear, quick disconnect wings, 10 metal gear servos and a scale LED light package all coming together for a terrific new generation 80mm EDF jet brought to you by Freewing and Motion RC.
