Cool to see that vertical stunt and the inverted flying with this RC plane. Looks like it can do a lot of what the real Blue Angels or any F/A 18 can do. I appreciate all the nods to the Blues in this video.
Man! When I saw the notification that Eflite had released this plane, I knew that I had to have it. Of course, I have seen the Blue Angels performance pretty much every year of my life, so It would be an honor to fly a model of the aircraft. Now I just have to save up for the BNF version and find a large field suitable for 80mm EDFs near me

U read my mind!! 😂😂😂 Burner was mailed today!! And this is the most scale Hornet out there. Its not stupid fast but very realistic and the sound is something else!! Not its not underpowered either... just takes a different flying style thats all... I love mine!! May get the blue angel version as well....
Great edf,love the gear and the sound,flies fine too,may need one to go with my F-4 which is still in the box waiting till I get a bit more over a stroke I had this year,I would also take the missles off and see what it would take to make single cockpit,thanks Rich and Steve!
And no the stabs dont come undone from the servo horns like people claim they do , the key is to make sure you put the stabs on the right way and to make sure those wheel collars and setscrews are put in correctly and maybe use locktite
Great video once again! Just when I thought I finally have my mind made up on which plane to get next, another new one comes out. Especially an F-18 - a plane I am trying to work my way up to fly. I feel I need to learn a 70mm first as part of my EDF journey (most likely the F-16 Thunderbird), currently fly the E-flite F-15 64mm. This one is definitely next.

No problem being #5. The Blues actually have two two seater F-18s. #7 if course and a second one that the use as a backup show plane (#7 is used as a back up show plane too) when they carry newly selected pilots for training. They would typically slap a #4 on that one as the slot position plane is usually the training officer and best position for taking new formation pilots up. But I have seen the 2nd two seater jet with a #6 on the tail at times too. In fact I've seen shows where both two seaters are flying in the show.
Good review. I lost my E-flight 70mm Viper two days ago ! Lost it in some dark gray sky. I took a look at my time left, and when I look back to the plane, couldn't see it... I could hear it but couldn't find it back. Could the virtual fence be installed in other E-Flight airplanes ? Not the auto landing, but the virtual fence ! Thank you,
Lol I'll bring the base grey one. I got mine about a year and a half ago when they 1st came out. it enjoys the view from the stand in my Plane Hanger . just kinda not confident to fly mine yet

Wow that sound is incredible! Mine arrived last week, can't wait to fly it! Have you tried it on a 4000? just curious how much flight time to expect on a smaller battery like that.
hello im from france i have buy a F18 eflite and i find it great but a mistake are in the left horizonthal stabilistor they miss the nuts in the cage ...grr
A little disappointed... I keep looking at the tail numbers. No one has seemed to catch the on the 1:1 Blue Angel, the #5 is actually inverted on the tail. It's a subtle catch, because the 5 isn't actually symmetrical.
Most edf jets have some form of cheater hole somewhere.... The full scale F18 has 2 turbojet engines and in this case we are trying to make that same plane run on an impeller system. Also the full scale aeroplane is a twin engine plane this is a single engine using 2 ducts. Cheater holes are used to compensate for this difference as it is not a perfect world. The cheater holes allow the single fan to breathe better since this plane is normally a twin and we have made it a single with a 2 into 1 duct.

Thanks Ray! I was blown away by the SOUND!!! It is very scale! Please use my Links to purchase If you get one:)
Got mine today and wouldn’t you know I think I have a goony on the shelf to drop in it
Merry Boozer RC A firey booty must be in this plane!! I will get you one too!
Ray, will that burner fit both 2000 & 2100kv motors?
RCINFORMER yes sir no difference.
Really great flight, sounds scale and love the bird handles any rough landing. 👍🏻

I just pulled the wing tip missiles and fuselage missiles OFF today! I will put up the pictures on Instagram soon!
Sorry to hear about your health issues. Take care mate and enjoy the the flying!
@@nickhayley thanks, doing extensive physical therapy,and getting better,may not fly this year,but will by next spring!

That was Cool! I’d like one ☝️ with tail no
1! Great Flying! That landing was Scale!
Pete, U da man!
Good review.

Not the auto landing, but the virtual fence !
Thank you,
Looks good sounds good flies good... But the short flight times suck!!
Great informative video! Thank you
Beautiful jet and awesome video as always, thanks for sharing buddy 👊🏼👊🏼
Very nice 💓💓💓💓💓💓
Did they update the elevator linkage in this plane
Another great video. Thanks Rich
Nice man. Sweet. Hey good news. I got my V1200. That new E-flite F-18 hornet blue angles sounds like a real jet.
Love that whoosh sound!!!
As always a nice comprehensive review, it looks and sounds great, love your work mate..
Lol I'll bring the base grey one. I got mine about a year and a half ago when they 1st came out. it enjoys the view from the stand in my Plane Hanger . just kinda not confident to fly mine yet

@@RCINFORMER no November Event Im tied up this weekend and it looks like another hurricanes gonna hit the panhandle possibly
Gonna Bring the A-10 I'm building as well

A high wing trainer and a simulator bud!! Or a cheap foamie flow AWAY from people. Try the xk A800!
Just got mine together and hopefully maiden this weekend. Great video Rich!
I thought about buying one my self did they fix the elevator issues
@@rickymassey9341 what elevator issues?
@@paulballard4243 there elevator issues with the linkage popping out in flight theirs a couple videos on youtube. Did u maiden yours yet.
@@rickymassey9341 Ohhhhhh yes yes! I saw that. I saw a guy put control horns on each elevator and linkage. I’m going to do that mod
Do you know how to turn on landing light? Mine doesn’t turn on
I think it's activated by the landing gear. Cycle the landing gear
hey what transmitter did you use for this blue angel?
DX9
@@RCINFORMER Thank you
Ok i got to get me one !!!!
Thanks Nelson! Thanks for watching! Please consider using my links if you purchase as it does support my channel at no extra cost to you. Thanks for the support!
@@RCINFORMER I watch your video all the time and yes i will use your link to buy my new f-18 blue angel.
Is there any difference between the fms 80mm f18?
Wow that sound is incredible! Mine arrived last week, can't wait to fly it! Have you tried it on a 4000? just curious how much flight time to expect on a smaller battery like that.
2 minutes
hello im from france i have buy a F18 eflite and i find it great but a mistake are in the left horizonthal stabilistor they miss the nuts in the cage ...grr
Will she fly off grass rich?
Salve bel volo,puoi dirmi dove posso comprare l' 18?,Ci sono i pezzi di ricambio? Grazie
I want-a hear the plane dude
OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID
you mean 19% spend? or 19% left?
i want one
Great video guys great landing.
Great carrier landing:)
It needs bigger wheels to land it in grass
Wow
Nice demo flight, i just think the landing gear won't last long. ???
I will be doing more flights with lots of landings next!
A little disappointed... I keep looking at the tail numbers. No one has seemed to catch the on the 1:1 Blue Angel, the #5 is actually inverted on the tail.

cheater holes for the EDF...???DOESNT WORTH THE MONEY.means BAD designh on the fan tunnel.....

@@RCINFORMER NO most edfs doesn't have cheater holes.at least the ones that have good tunel desigh.
