Airplane R/C Toys

Every AT-3 kit comes complete with the following features and hardware items included at no extra charge.

The first AT-3A operator is the Flight Training Command in ROCAF Academy. In 1988 the Thunder Tiger demonstration team of the ROC airforce replaced its F-5E aircraft with AT-3s. In September 9, 1989 35th Combat Squadron replaced its T-33 Shooting Star trainers with AT-3s. The AT-3s delivered to the 35th Combat Squadron were equipped with semi-recessed twin 12.7 mm machine guns.

The AT-3 has five weapon mounts (one centerline, two inboard underwing, two outboard underwing) and wingtip launch rails. There are two zero/zero Martin-Baker 10 ejection seats in the dual-control cockpit of production models. The rear seat (the Instructor position) is elevated 30 cm to allow better over-the-nose visibility.

Design of the advanced jet trainer began in 1975 with a conventional low-wing configuration with a tricycle undercarriage, tandem seat cockpit, and twin turbofans mounted in nacelles on either side of the fuselage. After the design was approved in 1978, the first prototype was produced, and it made its maiden flight in September 1980. Further evaluation resulted in a contract for 60 AT-3As for the ROCAF.
