This 3D-printed F-35B style swivel nozzle features dual servos for full rotation and a dedicated servo for tilt control, enabling realistic thrust vectoring. Rigorously tested at full propeller throttle, it delivers precision movement for advanced RC jet projects.
Core Functionality
- 3D-printed F-35B style swivel nozzle enabling vertical and horizontal thrust redirection using three servos: two for rotation, one for tilt control.
Designed for realistic thrust vectoring in advanced RC jet projects and DIY aircraft.
Full-throttle propeller test
3D Printer Required
220*220*250 mm
