This F/A-18F Super Hornet by FMS can be a true challenge to fly, and is fun for most skill levels. If you want it to feel more like the real deal, move a 3600 SMC HV battery all the way back - it'll give you a much more exciting flight! Replacement parts are cheap, it isn't hard to fix, and it presents the next step up in learning to fly. Move up from a Viper and try the Hornet out.

This was my second 70mm edf. It has to be my favorite model. This jet is very forgiving for beginners with as3x. I wish they made an 80-90mm version of this jet.

@Mikeylikesit1968 11 месяцев назад

FMS does make a 80mm which is the same one as the Eflite. The FMS version isn't sold on there site but can be bought through a China website

@leyvonnewashlv4096 11 месяцев назад

@@Mikeylikesit1968 That one seems to be an older FA-18 variant while this one is the Super Hornet. I’d still try to get my hands on the current fms 80mm or maybe the FW 90mm

@ModelAV8RChannel 11 месяцев назад

Nice Jon, I maidened one for a buddy. It flew really well. I didn't find it hard to land, but we had the CG forward of where you're flying it. Nice little Hornet for sure!

@raymondblanchard2213 11 месяцев назад

My Freewing 4S F-18 and F-22 have full rotating elevator stabs. They fly great in all the videos I've seen. I have yet to fly mine.

@rockyprivratsky5692 11 месяцев назад

I bought mine when it was first released and have loved it! It takes off and lands much better than the Eflite F-18 (80MM) Plus, I think it flys better too!

@adamrodgers2377 11 месяцев назад

Another awesome video, I enjoy watching how you push these Models as hard as y'all do. 🤙🏼

Glad you enjoy it!

@raymondblanchard2213 11 месяцев назад

INVERTED? YESSIREE! Two days ago, at our Tri-Cities Water Follies airshow, WA State, the F-35 Lightning pilot did an inverted pass, ALL fighter jets ARE designed to do this, and it IS very cool, and most (not all) rc planes look cool when they do this. My J-3 cub doesn't like it, but still does it.😁

@samuelsherwood298 10 месяцев назад

I put some softer wheels on mine, think it was dubro light weights they are alot softer and it helped alot, still a little rough with the 30c 5000mah smart pack but can take the misdletips off the wings to lighting it up. But it does splendid with Liperier 65c 3300 packs. I get about 4min 30 sec hard flying and 5mins on a slow flight. The smart pack gives me 530 to 6mins but those smart batteries are Heavy and cause bounce

@RedZone54 7 месяцев назад

Nice commentary - it's one my personal favorites and yes it did bite very hard once. I have installed the Jolly Rodgers livery from Callie Graphics.

Great flying and video Jon, this one looks like it's a bit too much for me but still fun to watch. AirHammer out!!

@lseguy 11 месяцев назад

Great vid. For my narrow wheelbase landing gear jets like f16/f18? Asanti AG61 nose gyro has been godsend for straight/direct takeoff/landings and minimizing wingtip to ground impact. It also shuts off in air/when gear is retracted. If nosewheel gyro not an option, LOTS of rudder expo also helps.

@TwoBrosRC 11 месяцев назад

You're 100% right, lots of rudder expo is your friend. We should have covered that, so it's appreciated that you brought it up in the comments. What you can do to make it easier to handle is use your gear switch as your rate control, and set it up so that you've got a lot of expo on the rudder with gear down.

@ladyhawk7408 11 месяцев назад

I had one of these a few months ago i got used. Guy had swapped in a 64mm fan being as im relatively new to rc i didn't notice..... anyway its been out of stock for months. Picked up this new one threw your links !.

@BrianTurner-ub2tu 11 месяцев назад

Awesome Jet and Thank you for the recommendation! Ill be picking one up in a few weeks once I master the FMS F15.

@BrianTurner-ub2tu 11 месяцев назад

How soft/hard are the tires?

@TwoBrosRC 11 месяцев назад

They're hard, but you can replace them with rubber wheels or softer foam wheels if you'd prefer. Happy to help!

@georgecain22 11 месяцев назад

Yeah I’ve had this one for 6 years now and probably put 15 flights on her and she’s still in tip top shape except for the wingtips of course the narrow tricycle gear is extremely touchy even at walking speed 😂

@Mikeylikesit1968 11 месяцев назад

I love my F-18, what I like to do is have 2 steering rates , one is for taxing and then I have a low rate for takeoff and landing

@TwoBrosRC 11 месяцев назад

That's a smart way to do it!

@giuseppedeliguori7158 11 месяцев назад

very nice EDF, it is sad that FMS has so poor distribution here in Europe, very difficult to find planes , almost impossible to find spare parts.. :(

Very Nice Footage, I been following you since you were under 1 thounsand subscribers, more than a year now, and thank to you, i have improve so much in my flying skills, better than i was on my previus six years of flying, by the way, Which is the camera that you use, I really like your shots!

@TwoBrosRC 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! We use the Sony AX53.

@mitchellreece3711 11 месяцев назад

The F18 has a fairly high aspect ratio for its wings. That along with the leading edge root extensions make it very forgiving in all conditions

@TwoBrosRC 11 месяцев назад

Except at the CG we're using, which makes it pretty unstable at stall recovery - but the fixed stabs make it a little easier to pull out of it.

@nirlachman007 11 месяцев назад

Hey Jon! Great video! Besides the cobra maneuverable, how is this model compared for the FW f-18 90mm? Is it more predictable and stable? My F-18 90mm for me is by far the most challenging jet to fly and land. It stalls like crazy in slow speed. I’ve learned a lot from it, also using your great tips!

@TwoBrosRC 11 месяцев назад

It's definitely more stable than the Freewing 90, but nowhere near as agile.

@nirlachman007 11 месяцев назад

@@TwoBrosRC I guess this airframe is challenging not matter what size it is :)

@TheSkinon 11 месяцев назад

@@TwoBrosRC my club has a few nice ones, some like an Avanti and F4 Phantom are like 1.5m so not giant, they look amazing in the sky and do 180mph. I reckon you'd be able to fly the physics off one haha.

@PatrickVannie 11 месяцев назад

How would you compare this jet to the eflite 90mm viper with regards to stability and ease of keeping it under control ?

@TwoBrosRC 11 месяцев назад

The Viper is more stable at lower speeds (up until you introduce a constant bank angle into the equation. Then you're more likely to enter a spin. Overall though, the Viper is definitely a better platform.

@hifinsword 7 месяцев назад

Why does FMS insist on selling the main landing gear sets as a pair and not separately left or right as a set or as separate struts? They do offer retracts but not strut sets individually. That has kept me from buying most FMS aircraft that have retracts. This is such a beautiful aircraft I hate to pass on it. But I vote with my wallet when it comes to being able to buy spare parts I need, not spare parts I don't need!

@TwoBrosRC 7 месяцев назад

It's not uncommon for them to be sold in pairs.

@hifinsword 7 месяцев назад

@@TwoBrosRC It's only common with FMS and maybe 1 other manufacturer. It's much more common to find separate struts with or without wheels, and complete sets as singles, not pairs.

@user-zz8tf2tx9q 10 месяцев назад

not sure how you put a smc 3600 all the way back! In mine i put the 3600 smc as far foward as possible, and its still tail heavy

It's definitely not tail heavy all the way up front. It might be more sensitive than you're used to, but it's most certainly not tail heavy.

@mdesgro3692 5 месяцев назад

I disagree with the bit about landing. This jet is easy to land, I've never had it rock like the video. The problem is your runway. It sucks. As far as high alpha, it does it very well.

@TwoBrosRC 5 месяцев назад

You're absolutely welcome to disagree! Our runway is absolutely fine - we land a variety of aircraft on it without issue. The runway doesn't make an airplane tip over easily. The design of the airplane does.
