Overview

Bring supersonic-scale aviation to your local flying field with the officially licensed FMS F/A-18 Hornet 64mm EDF Jet. Designed to replicate the iconic multi-role fighter operated by the U.S. Navy, this high-fidelity jet features an all-new EPO foam airframe with crisp panel lines, a two-seat cockpit, realistic antennas, navigation lights, and removable scale missiles and fuel tanks. Internal carbon reinforcement tubes inside the main wings and horizontal stabilisers maintain structural rigidity during high-speed passes and aerobatic manoeuvres.

Powering the Hornet is a 64mm 12-blade electric ducted fan driven by a high-output 2840-KV3150 brushless motor and a 40 A ESC. Operating on 4S LiPo power, the system delivers linear throttle response alongside an authentic jet turbine sound. For added safety and shorter landing rollouts, the ESC includes a built-in reverse thrust function. Touchdowns are cushioned by a CNC-machined shock-absorbing nose gear and steel main gear, while a push-button cockpit latch provides fast access to the spacious battery compartment.

Note

Please check your local council or flying club for laws regarding recreational flying before your first flight. Consult the manual for detailed information about assembly, setup, and flight operation.

Highlights

Scale Detail Replication

Exquisite craftsmanship brings this officially licensed Boeing F/A-18 to life. Featuring a two-seat cockpit, precise panel lines, realistic antennas, functional navigation lights, scale fuel tanks, and replica missiles, it captures authentic fighter jet looks from every angle.

CNC-Machined Landing Gear

Land with confidence on paved or rough strips. The front landing gear uses CNC-machined spring suspension to absorb hard touchdowns, while the main gear is reinforced with an L-shaped steel wire core and covered in scale plastic for extra strength.

High-Output EDF Power System

Push your flight envelope with an aggressive 2840-KV3150 brushless motor driving a high-efficiency 64mm 12-blade ducted fan. Powered by a 4S LiPo battery, this setup delivers impressive jet speed and a realistic turbine sound.

Reverse Thrust ESC

Shorten your landing rollout and keep your jet under total control on touchdown. The factory-installed 40A ESC features a reverse thrust function that acts as an airbrake to slow the model down quickly after landing.

Precision Control

Factory-installed ball link control horns deliver smooth, crisp handling on every stick input. Eliminating play in the linkages, this setup ensures immediate control response and predictable handling through loops, rolls, and tight turns.

Stable Flight Technology
