The ideal introduction to Scale RC Jets, designed to advance your RC EDF Jet experience.
The F/A-18 Hornet, developed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) for the U.S. Navy, is a supersonic, multi-role fighter with a versatile design. It can serve both as a fighter and attack aircraft, excelling in air-to-air, air-to-ground, and air-to-sea missions. First flown in 1974 and introduced in 1983, the F/A-18 became the U.S. Navy's primary carrier-based fighter after the retirement of the F-14 in 2006.
FMS introduces the all-new 64mm F/A-18, featuring a completely redesigned mold with larger dimensions, sleeker contours, and improved detailing. The high-fidelity version includes CNC-machined front landing gear, realistic rear landing gear, and navigation lights for added realism. Powered by a 64mm 12-blade ducted fan, 2840-KV3150 motor, and 40A ESC, it offers excellent stability and precise control for edf jet beginners.
Scale Detail Replication
The F/A-18 features an all-new mold with exquisite craftsmanship and highly detailed elements, including a fully detailed two-seat cockpit, precise panel lines, realistic antennas, front and rear landing gear, navigation lights, and scale fuel tanks and missiles.
Advanced CNC-Machined Landing Gear
The front landing gear features a CNC-machined spring suspension, effectively reducing landing impact. The main gear is reinforced with an embedded L-shaped steel wire and covered in realistic plastic for enhanced stability and scale appearance.
Precision Control
The F/A-18 comes with factory-installed ball link control horns for smooth responsive handling, providing excellent maneuverability which enhances the flight experience.
High-performance Power
The F/A-18 is equipped with a 2840-KV3150 brushless motor and a high-efficiency 64mm 12-blade ducted fan, recommended for use with a 4S battery. Experience advanced electric ducted fan jet performance and enjoy the thrilling jet-like sound.
ESC with Thrust Reverse
The 40A ESC with reverse thrust on the F/A-18 reduces landing rollout and makes landing easier which improves overall safety.
Stable Flight Technology
The Reflex V3 flight control system (sold separately) offers enhanced stability, ensuring smoother and safer flights.
New Design with Improved Stability
The F/A-18 is officially licensed by Boeing and features an all-new, custom-designed mold. It is equipped with a dual vertical tail layout and dual side intakes, offering enhanced airflow efficiency and improved stability during flight.
Enhanced Stability
Reinforcement tubes are pre-installed in the main wings and horizontal stabilizer to strengthen the airframe, ensuring it stays rigid and resistant to bending or deformation during aggressive flight or aerobatic maneuvers.
Realistic Navigation Light
The realistic navigation light design enhances the flying experience and improves visibility in low-light conditions.
Cockpit Buckle-Style Design
The push-button dual cockpit latch design is both secure and stylish, preventing in-flight detachment.
Easy To Transport
Compact, lightweight, and easy to transport. Simple assembly in just 15 minutes (excluding glue drying time).
Spacious Battery Compartment
The large battery compartment easily fits a 4S 2600mAh battery for optimal performance, providing a good balance of power and flight time.
