f18_super_hornet_twin_40mm_kyles_new_favorite_by_a_mile_aircraft_image_1

I wasnt ready to attempt the F18 Super Hornet until I had the skills and the knowledge to do so. I carefully planned how large this plane would be, how long the wing span would be, the thicknesses and tolerances of every part. Where to position the EDF's and the battery. Everything came togther and I can say it’s the best F18 variant ive ever flown.

Bullet points
-1000g of thrust!!!
-615g FLYING WEIGHT with a 1300 4s (3:30 flying time)
-jumps out of your hands on hand launch and does pillow landings
-only 2, 9g servos are needed and it feels better than any pushrod system
- builds in 1 hour if you've built my planes before
-will flat spin and recover on the CG bumps
