Description

The ideal introduction to Scale RC Jets, designed to advance your RC EDF Jet experience.

Background

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.

Introduction

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.
