PAU Gripen 3D JET
A Game-Changing 3D Jet in the RC Modeling world
We are excited to announce the release of the PAU Composite Gripen 3D, a new game changer in the 3D model Jet world. With Amazing 3D performance
A New Era in RC Aviation
We set out to design a new model jet, however with so many choices in the market, it was a challenge to pick a model that will best fit the performance, aesthetic, and sexiness a model jet should have. With limited choices for delta aircrafts in the market. The SAAB JAS 39 Gripen became a favorite contender.
It took 2 years of research, development and tireless work to be able to release this amazing flying machine. With multiple prototypes that lets say met the ground with a less than desirable outcome, followed by multiple redesigns, we reached the perfect blend of size, weight, power and performance.
Grippen Colors
We are working on new schemes for the model, for the time being the PAU Original scheme with different color swaps is available.
We currently have one of the yellow model and one of the blue model in stock if you are interested.
Unmatched Features and Performance
The PAU Gripen boasts several features, including:
- Full Composite Airframe
Manufactured using advanced vacuum-bagging techniques, the PAU Gripen features a fully composite structure for maximum strength-to-weight efficiency. All structurally critical areas are reinforced with carbon fiber for enhanced rigidity and durability under extreme flight loads. - Carbon Reinforced Structural Core
High-load zones including wing roots, landing gear mounts, and turbine bay are strategically reinforced to handle aggressive 3D maneuvers and high-energy flight profiles. - Inside-Mold Painted Finish (IMP)
Each airframe is painted directly inside the mold, resulting in a flawless, lightweight, showroom-quality finish. No panel lines, no overspray — just a seamless composite surface with reduced post-processing weight. - Diabolical Turbine Performance (210–250N)
Designed around 210–250N turbine powerplants, the Gripen delivers explosive acceleration, massive vertical authority, and true rocket-like climbs while maintaining precise tracking and control. - Advanced Thrust Vectoring System
The optional vector exhaust transforms the Gripen from a precision delta into a full-blown 3D monster. Experience post-stall maneuvers, high-alpha control, and dramatic pitch authority previously unseen in turbine deltas.
- Independent Dual Canard Servos
Each canard is driven by its own dedicated servo, giving pilots the ability to fine-tune trim, mix, and experimental setups for ultimate control customization. - Legendary Rifle Rolls
The PAU Gripen is engineered for ultra-axial, perfectly centered rifle rolls — clean, locked-in rotation with minimal coupling and zero wobble. - Removable Nose Section
The entire nose assembly is removable for easier transport and storage, making logistics significantly more manageable despite the aircraft’s presence and scale. - Lightweight Carbon Fiber Landing Gear Struts
Custom PAU carbon struts offer high strength with minimal weight, designed to absorb landing loads while maintaining structural integrity and long-term durability. - Optimized Turbine & Systems Bay
Spacious and intelligently designed internal layout allows for clean plumbing, organized wiring, and easy turbine installation and maintenance access. - Optional Fuel Tank / Bladder Configuration
Flexible fuel system setup allows pilots to choose between rigid tanks or bladder systems depending on preference and flying style. - High-Speed Stability with 3D Capability
Delta platform combined with canard authority delivers both high-speed tracking precision and aggressive post-stall maneuver capability — a rare balance in turbine jets.
