love this thing! It was very easy to build and set up, flying it with a spektrum 8360 allows full functions and the ability to put the nose wheel on its own channel to set a custom speed, travel and adjustment separate of the rudders. it flys great and handled easily. Have flown on some windy days and it handles it great! Easy to land unlike some other 90mm jets.

Looks great and fly's excellent . No bad habits, very fast. Slows well for landings. This is a good buy.

I now have two of these jets, one running in the stock power system, one custom painted and powered by the 90mm 8s power system. Highly recommended this jet, super easy to fly and glides surprisingly well. A must have for your hanger!

I have only flown it once but I can say it was easy to put to together and it was fairly decent to fly.

Almost an awesome model. Great looking and flying airplane, it performs really well and very much like the real Hornet. Problem is the flap servo’s are too weak for this design. It needs minimum 13g servo’s for the flaps. 3 different models of this plane had flap servo issues and Motion RC more or less told me to piss off.

20 seconds after takeoff of the 1st flight the airplane starts to roll to the right if i pulled at the elevator. After further 20 seconds i could not compensate this rolling and suddenly the F-18 experienced an ancontrollable stall followed by a severe impact. Investigation of the possible cause showed, that the left hand plastic linkage of the elevator was broken because the plastic was to weak. Total time of flight with this new modell less than 1 minute. 3 witnesses observed the flight and helped to investigate the crash.The wooden attachment for the impeller unit wasn´t clued in properly and i had to fix it before the first runup!
