XFly Model is proud to announce its second scale fighter jet F-18 Hornet in the twin 40mm EDF lineup. For the purpose of making it as most streamlined and true-to-scale as possible, XFly team equips the F-18 with twin power system setup and reserves scale details including air inlet, cockpit, nozzle and full-flying horizontal stabs.

The factory-installed power system, including twin efficient 1413-KV5500 brushless motors and twin 20A brushless ESCs, paired with a 4S LiPo battery, delivers an abundance of thrust for fast climbs, rolls, loops and endless fun for high alpha flying due to the F-18’s low wing load and full flying stabs. A flight time of around 3-8 mins can be achieved with proper throttle management.

Perfectly fitted landing gear design helps keep the plane lightweight and make take off & landing smooth. Landing gears can be easily removed for more speed and vertical performance. The twin EDF power system, with smooth inlet duct design, delivers an incredible turbine-like sound. Choose between the popular schemes, “Blue Angels” and “The Hawks”, the XFly F-18 is a must-have addition to your collection.
