Awesome professional flying! Glad you were able to diagnose the issue causing the crash and have made proper fixes to get this Hornet back into the air.

RC flying in this channel to me has been a source of pleasure, thanks for your uploads happy flying!

I just put the EDF that comes in the Eurofighter inside the F-18.. stoked to see the power gains

I just did my maiden today thing flies nice I flew mine on a 5000 hrb, landings were perfect half flap and I glided in, four times. went home Happy

Love the hornet content!

Fantastic flying and looking jet. That final approach was gorgeous.

Thanks Dan! This new format we've switched to seems to be much more resonant with the audience than the previous ones. We'll keep this up.

Ad, grate flying bro, I Really love how you greace the all of your landing, I have the SU30 70MM Twin EDF jet, haven't fly it yet, still working on my landing with it on my hanger 9.5 RF Simulator,

Me, no ready for this. But you are good on this. I keep practicing!!

Great video as allways.

I have it's little brother the 64mm F-18 with an fms edf in it and also modded the rudders to be functional. Like its big brother you have there it also has full flying stabs and is very agile but with that it also has very nasty stall characteristics. Got into a near unrecoverable stall doing a tail slides. I think the F-18's air frame in general just like the real jet allows it to be very agile! As always awesome flying sir! 👏👏

The Hornet is absolutely a very unstable plane. The long snoot coupled with the short wings creates a very weird flight experience that a gyro helps tamp down significantly.

Those nasty stall characteristics are for real. I almost never get surprised when flinging the f22 around, but that f18 made me wear my brown pants more often.

I like mine so much, I'm on my 3rd one. I've got all the same control set up done to mine, and to me it doesn't feel like is has any nasty stall tendencies. I can yank back on the elevator and it'll power through. The Tomcat on the other hand will drop its left wing like it's going out of style if I even say the letters AOA.

You might be flying on a lighter battery - this was all shot on a 6200 SMC LiHV pack. A 4000 to 5000 pack won't stall as easily, but put it into an accelerated stall and you'll see what we're talking about.

@Two Brothers Radio Control re watched your full elevator application on the landing roll out. You've probably got at least 5+ mm more throw than what I'm using.

So I just set up my (Eflite) f-18 with tailerons. Should I now nullify the ailerons and have them only function as full span flaps?

@TwoBrosRC

Жыл бұрын

Definitely wouldn't recommend full span flaps on the E-flite F/A-18. The stabs can barely move compared to the Freewing jet, and you'll need a lot of up elevator compensation to fly like that.

@@TwoBrosRC ok so no full span flaps. Monitor up elevator throws. Do you see any advantage then on my jet to program tailerons at all?

More roll rate and the ability to run the stabs through the gyro for pitch and roll, which makes it more stable at lower airspeeds where it's most necessary.

Just ordered 5280 afterburner for my vipor 90, eflite f16 80mm, and the freewing f18 all with the wislers. Are the wislers worth it? Also about to order the afterburners for the freewing f14 and maybe even the wislers for it if it's worth it?

Jon I just looked up the HS-85MG servos you recommended for the stabiliators, if i'm understanding this right they're analog not digital servos. Is that right? Do you feel it's a dealbreaker at all if they're analog and not digital servos for use in the stabilitators for this jet?

Had the strangest stall on mine as well the other day. Stalled on landing approach, I had deployed flaps and gear at the same time which was mistake 1. Mistake 2 was having too high rudder rates. Together they caused way too much speed loss in a turn and stalled into the ground. Was expecting a total loss but only the gear was damaged. Amazing build quality on this bird. Performs as if it has thrust vectoring. Did you say you switched the servo arms to metal arms on the elevators?

@@EDF_FANatic Nothing but experience can really help you with this, unfortunately. It's a stick feel thing. You'll get an idea of when and where it will stall, and why. All it takes is more time flying it. This is one of the reasons why we say this isn't a beginner or intermediate jet - it's definitely on the higher end of advanced level flight.

Accelerated stalls happen when you pull too hard on the stick while maneuvering. Any aircraft can experience one if the airflow separates over the wing. Stalls can happen at any airspeed.
