E-flite F-18 Hornet 80 mm

An all-new design for experienced RC pilots, this jet provides an exceptional flying experience and scale details that include factory-installed LED lights, full flying stabs, operational flaps, and more! This replica has been modeled after the F/A-18D two-seat variant, specifically the U.S. Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 242, the “Bats,” based in Iwakuni, Japan.

Available in PNP and BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select versions, it comes with servos and power system installed and can use a 4000-7000mAh 6S LiPo. The F-18 Hornet starts at $439.99.
