The BAC Lightning was Britain’s first and only home developed supersonic fighter. Conceived in the late 1940s as a high altitude bomber interceptor, it entered Royal Air Force service in 1960 and remained in frontline use until the late 1980s. Based on the P.1 research aircraft, the Lightning became instantly recognizable for its stacked engine configuration, blistering speed, and powerful climb. No. 92 Squadron operated the Lightning in Germany, where its role shifted from high altitude interception to low level defense.

The Freewing 64mm BAC Lightning 64mm EDF brings this legend to life in a compact toss and go jet. Finished in that squadron’s authentic RAF livery and faithfully replicating the Lightning’s stacked engine layout, the model delivers standout scale realism in flight.

A 4S 2840-2700KV outrunner motor paired with a 40A brushless ESC with thrust reversing drives a 64mm 12 blade EDF, producing strong acceleration, crisp handling, and a smooth jet like sound. The true to scale fuselage contour provides a natural hand launch grip, while the lightweight compact airframe enables tight turns, fast passes, and spirited runs that keep every flight engaging.

Power System and Electronics Compatibility:

This model is designed to operate using the included ESC and its integrated BEC, which is specifically matched to the onboard electronics. To ensure reliable performance and prevent damage, always power the aircraft's receiver and electronics through the installed ESC using the main flight battery. Do not use any power source other than the main flight battery to power the model, otherwise damage will occur to the electronics.

The receiver, servos, and other onboard electronics included with this model are rated for a maximum input voltage of 5.5V. When selecting your ESC and power system, verify that the BEC output supplied to the receiver and onboard electronics does not exceed 5.5V. Using a higher voltage will damage the aircraft's electronics.
