F1 Rocket

The F-1 QB is an all-metal airframe that seeks F-16 like performance at an affordable price. If you enjoy the thrill of blasting off with a 3500 fpm climb and levelling off at 10,000 feet five minutes later for a 230+ m.p.h. cruise. Quick built options are available. The aircraft is based on the well proven Vans and is fitted with a Lycoming engine.
