Hangar 9 Valiant 20cc 86in HAN15040

 

The Hangar 9 Valiant 20cc ARF is a scaled-down version of the highly regarded 30cc model, offering the same classic styling and versatile flight characteristics in a more practical 86.5-inch size. Designed to deliver a giant-scale flying experience without the storage and transport challenges of larger models, it combines modern construction techniques with a traditional high-wing layout suited to a wide range of flying styles.

 

Known for its smooth and stable handling, the Valiant design also offers impressive aerobatic capability. Its semi-symmetrical airfoil provides strong wind penetration and responsive control, while the inclusion of operational flaps enhances versatility. These flaps enable short takeoff and landing performance and can also be configured for advanced control setups such as flaperons and spoilerons, making the aircraft adaptable to both sport flying and more dynamic manoeuvres.

 

The ARF (Almost Ready-to-Fly) version arrives largely pre-assembled, reducing build time while allowing pilots to install their preferred glow, gas, or electric power system. The lightweight yet durable wood construction is covered in genuine UltraCote film, and the airframe includes practical features such as a top-mounted hatch, aluminium landing gear, and LED navigation lights. With its combination of stability, aerobatic performance, and flexible setup options, the Valiant 20cc is well suited to intermediate and advanced pilots seeking a capable and adaptable aircraft.
