Freewing F-35C Lightning II 12S 110mm EDF Jet – ARF PLUS

F-35C Lightning II Super Scale 110mm EDF Jet with Gyro – PNP from Freewing – FJ50111PG

Version Info: This is the ARF+ version for pilots who wish to install their own power system. All primary electronics including servos and landing gear come pre-installed, just add your own power system (EDF, motor, and ESC) to begin flying.

The F-35C Lightning II is the U.S. Navy’s carrier variant of the most advanced stealth strike fighter ever built. Designed specifically for carrier operations, the F-35C features the largest wings of the three F-35 variants and a reinforced airframe built to withstand the extreme demands of catapult launches and arrested landings. As the Navy and Marines’ only fifth-generation strike fighter, the F-35C combines stealth, advanced sensor fusion, and supersonic performance in a platform that defines modern carrier aviation.

The Freewing F-35C Lightning II Super Scale 110mm EDF Jet is the largest model Freewing has ever produced, and it delivers the scale fidelity and features expected from their most ambitious release. The ARF PLUS comes as the complete airframe with all primary electronics pre-installed, ready for pilots who want to specify their own 110mm EDF power system. Servos, landing gear, and lights all come pre-installed; simply add your preferred EDF unit, motor, and ESC to bring the F-35C to life on your own terms.

The feature list is exceptional. CNC-machined shock-absorbing struts, scale painted gear legs, and sequenced landing gear doors deliver the kind of ground presence and realistic operation you’d expect from a much larger and more expensive model. Factory-installed scale LED navigation, formation, and nose gear landing lights illuminate the airframe for impressive scale realism on the ground and in the air. Quick-release plug-in wings make field assembly fast and tool-free — spend less time setting up and more time flying.

Three distinct livery options span both U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines F-35C operations. The VFA-147 Argonauts (tail #406) delivers the clean, muted gray look of a front-line carrier jet in low visibility trim. The VMFA-251 Thunderbolts (tail #01) brings bold orange-yellow lightning bolt markings on a striking dark tail, while the VFA-101 Grim Reapers (tail #101) features the iconic skeleton figure with dramatic red accents. Each model ships with factory-applied common markings and a custom decal set — apply your squadron’s signature details straight from the sheet, or use the clean airframe as a canvas for your own custom scheme. For experienced pilots who want full control over the power system, the ARF PLUS is the most flexible way to own the Freewing F-35C.

Freewing’s Biggest & Best The F-35C is the largest and most feature-loaded model Freewing has ever produced to date. Scale landing gear, sequenced gear doors, afterburner LEDs, scale navigation lighting, quick-release wings, and a factory gyro combine to deliver a level of scale realism and flight refinement that pushes every boundary at this size class.

Your Power System. Your Call. The ARF Plus format puts you in control. Every servo, light, and scale detail is pre-installed and ready to go — just add your preferred 110mm EDF unit, motor, and ESC and make this F-35C exactly what you want it to be.

Gear Down. Sequence Complete. When the gear comes down on this model, it shows. CNC-machined shock-absorbing struts, scale painted gear legs, and finely detailed undercarriage components combine to deliver the kind of ground presence that makes the F-35C look every bit as purposeful sitting on the ramp as it does in the air.

Three Liveries. Each One Legendary. Choose from the operational low visibility scheme of VFA-147 Argonauts (tail #406), the bold orange-yellow lightning bolt markings of VMFA-251 Thunderbolts (tail #01), or the iconic Grim Reaper skeleton figure with dramatic red accents of VFA-101 (tail #101). Each model ships with factory-applied common markings and a custom decal set — apply your squadron’s signature details straight from the sheet, or use the base markings as a canvas for your own custom scheme.

Every Detail Matters From the precisely sculpted stealthy fuselage and accurate F-35C wing geometry to the hand-painted pilot figure and scale cockpit interior, every surface and detail on this model was designed to look exactly right. It’s the kind of craftsmanship that makes the F-35C as impressive up close as it is in the air.

Light Up The Sky Factory-installed navigation and formation LEDs illuminate key positions across the airframe, while the included afterburner LED system delivers a glowing exhaust effect at full throttle. Whether flying at dusk or making a low-speed pass down the runway, this model makes an impression every single time.

Fast to the Flight Line Quick-release plug-in wings mean the F-35C goes from transport to flight faster than you’d expect from a model this size. Less time assembling, more time flying — exactly how it should be at the field.

The F-35C Look — Done Right The F-35C has one of the most distinctive silhouettes in modern aviation — a carefully shaped stealth airframe where every surface serves a purpose. This model captures that presence faithfully, from the broad carrier wings and blended fuselage contours to the characteristic nose profile, canted twin tails, and the subtle angular geometry that defines the Lightning II’s stealthy identity.
