It's truly amazing how the models have changed over the last two years. I was very impressed with the details and functionality of the F-18. Good job Pete.
You all probably dont give a shit but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Elliott Josiah thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@ElfenSky NO, it probably has a relatively light body even with all the servos for the wing foldings and stuff. 2 EDF's are more than enough once you get it up to speed.
I have had exceptional service with these guys. I recommend them to anyone looking to buy RC planes or parts online. My prop assembly broke on my plane, after searching the internet I decided I would just get the parts from them directly, they even sent me a photo of the parts before they sent them to me...AMAZING!
"Components are now higher end so no more issues now". So now we admit to issues with ALL other planes you offer with lower end components. I must say, this is the most detailed ice chest I have seen in awhile. I like how you ignored the canopy not closing automatically and casually closed it by hand.
In my opinion the f series of fighters is the most interesting mainly due to the fact that each of these jets revolutionized military war fair in the air my favorite being the F-14 tomcat and my second favorite being the F-18 super hornet (especially with the blue angels.) if I had to be assigned two fighter jets the F-14 and 18 would be my choice.
Extremely extremely cool extremely extremely extremely wild west electronics extremely extremely extremely extremely windy. Sorry just had to mess around. Those slats and wing folding are revolutionary! You are setting the bar high on the detail.
Pete, OUTSTANDING!!!! Well done my friend, definately looking to Part 2 when the wind a bit calmer.....but despite the vicious cross wind you did excellent....Let me know when you get to film a part 2. I started the Diamond Viper version you sent me today.
I have the big A-10 and it flies flawlessly. Everthing works very well. To date I have 35 flights on it and get 5min at half throttle which is average for twin 70mm on one pack. I always put my own equipment in these planes without question. I guess some of you haven't learned. HiTec servos all the way around with a DX-7 radio and 7600RX. Don't blame Pete, do your homework and you'll have a great flying machine. The A-10 4 points very well and inverted is rock solid. Stop badgering Pete.
you should replace the fake missiles with bottle rockets and replace the fuses with electronic ignition controlled with the transmitter.... that wold be soooo cool!
yo @BananaHobby i really love all the video's you made man, seriously your hobby is amazin. i wonder if they also have the black widow. you know the the prototype aircraft they made. the most favorite plane i've seen of yours, is the f-22 raptor, and the A-10 warthog. and offcourse this one.
@kydawg1 I understand. I do reviews so I have to talk about the aircraft. Especially about the wings. I try to talk less on aircraft's that are not so complex.
I don't remember, but isn't the F model two seaters? E is single pilot and I *think* G is the electrical warfare one, but i might have the two seaters and electric warfare one swapped.
Let me say my story. 5 years ago, I refused to listen to online advice on how to choose a plane and radio. My first plane? I bought this, as a kit, along with some high quality part on various site. I also got the Devo 12s. From beginning to end, I've spent around $2k on my first plane. I spent around 2 years building it, getting stuck frequently and trying to look for solutions online (I was 10 and just starting to use the web). In the end, it didn't fly... It didn't even live long enough to the flying field. So I got a dolphin jet, that was the most docile thing they have in my local shop, didn't end well. Kind guys at the field let me buddy box and I learnt how to fly at least, and a kid gave me his plane for me to crash and learn. Still I crash, I didn't know why until someone did a very comprehensive check, and found out the Devo12s was the culprit. Smacked another $500 on a sky surfer and a DX6i. That went well and that went for 6 month. I wanted more, but I felt guilty for spending that 2.5k and didn't manage to fly. So I got into scratch build. Built a lot, crashed a lot, I used my scratch build projects to help me got into my high school's RC club. Now I'm proudly flying 50cc doing crazy shit.
thats the way i want an EDF jet, only thing i dont like is the thrust vectoring! i might look for airframe only and put better EDFs in it, the stock ones seem to lack performance. all in all the best looking model so far! love the retracts!
How long did it take to develope the flying skills necessary to fly in that crosswind with remote control aircraft is my question?. My comment great flying and preparation of the control balance or center/dead stick positions.Does this model use gyros to assist flight control?.
I didn't know that C's and D's werent only blue angels though, thanks! and also, ive kinda been wondering, isnt it weird to have a two seater jet when the 2nd pilot is usually the gunner, in a non-fighter jets? lol
Hello dont know if u noticed in your video, an object passing, the 7:15 video , because if u not noticed a look right. so there's to see in slow motion. 7:35 of video and other object. And another video of the flight of the f18, at 24:49.
I just ended up with one of these im told is a surrey models fa18 super hornet.. Although its identical to the one you've featured here. I did not get the receiver tho and cannot get it to power up a spectrum receiver. Is there any way i can get ahold of you to pick your brain on this beautiful hornet?
You are referring to CFT (Conformal Fuel Tanks). Those are still consider to be "external" tanks- they are slapped on the side of the aircraft's body instead of hanging off the wing and "conform" to the aerodynamic signature of the airplane to help on aerodynamics. But they are still external.The F-15D Eagle and F-15E Strike Eagles carry these same time of tanks. But you have to remember they are still EXTERNAL. Watch this video watch?v=pz2Cl3TnRyM A Super Hornet without CFTs
You can't silence the EDF, but if you use a 12 blade fan instead of the usual 5-6 blades it'll sound almost like a real turbine. Especially with the rectangular intakes. Assuming it doesn't have cheater holes..
Pilot Pete please answer my question. -How fast can it fly on full throttle?- by that i mean pure speed on a straight line! and also can you make a video of out of the box review? i love this plane it seems awesome. my friend and i are thinking about buying a pair. we need that information before we buy!! thanks
Looked like a carrier landing 😎 I was almost expecting full power as the gear hit the deck ;p beef up the landing gear and rig some arresting cables haha... you actually have some sweet landings bro . Nice flying especially given the conditions ☺
Hey do you guys have 747's or any other commercial aircraft that is driven by fuel and is RC ? would love to fly one. also might be fun to attach a few lights to it, put a flare to mark a landing runway and try to land it at night.
Guys please read the text I wrote in regards to the CANOPY. The FA/18 was BLOWN upside DOWN on the runway during a take off attempt. The damage was extensive to the main wing and the canopy mechanism. It was either quit with the review or review it the way it was. The repair was done at the field and was not good enough for the canopy. The winds were WILD CROSS that day and the review was made either way. I address the Canopy issue in the video descriptions. ~ Pete
in the begining i thought the guy hacked Petes channel and tryed to pull off Petes amazing work! PS I LUV UR VIDS PETE WATCH THEM ALL THE TIME! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
It's truly amazing how the models have changed over the last two years. I was very impressed with the details and functionality of the F-18. Good job Pete.

@Elliott Josiah It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Bobby Colin No problem =)
Love this guy's salespitch. The enthousiasm really rubs off
G'day Peter thanks for the review. What a really nice looking aircraft, the detail is great. Thanks mate John
@ElfenSky

Dang, even lands like a Navy should! Beautiful!! Any arrestor hook?
windy day , you could see it pushing and shaking the plain, good flying bro

What happened to bannana hobbys i would like to get my hands on one these f18
I use to work on these. The rudder letters are wrong. VFA 103 has always been part of CAG 7 so it should be AG
Finally, i have been waiting Pete for this Plane since January...Yeahhh Boiiiiiiizzzzzz!!! This is a Must have
The wing folding is a nice scale effect but it makes the wings look weird. I get the feeling that it effects the way it flies too...
any munition with a blue strip is for training. The 2k under the wing has yellow stripe. Yellow/brown is live munition.
What missile locking system did you go with?
Extremely extremely cool extremely extremely extremely wild west electronics extremely extremely extremely extremely windy. Sorry just had to mess around. Those slats and wing folding are revolutionary! You are setting the bar high on the detail.

Cool! So the engine are just like fans or something?
Thanks.
@MiizStY There are two variants. The F/A-18E is a 1 seater while the F/A-18F is two seater as seen in this vid
@gfresh94 YOU ROCK! Thats for the shout out!
-John Asher
Why is it that when I finally can buy this they are not selling it anymore
LMFAOOO same here pal, watched this video when I was 12. Now when I have money to spend I cant buy it LOLL
Is this the same aircraft that you see for a split second , in the Align fun fly video ?
@MiizStY It is, it is the 2 seat Pilot/WSO version. Otherwise its the same as the E version.
yo @BananaHobby i really love all the video's you made man,
seriously your hobby is amazin. i wonder if they also have the black widow.
you know the the prototype aircraft they made.
the most favorite plane i've seen of yours, is the f-22 raptor, and the A-10 warthog. and offcourse this one.
@kydawg1 I understand. I do reviews so I have to talk about the aircraft. Especially about the wings. I try to talk less on aircraft's that are not so complex.
What does a thing like this cost? Looks so amazing :)
cool.... by any chance,, do you have sukhoi's flankers familiy too...?
I don't remember, but isn't the F model two seaters? E is single pilot and I *think* G is the electrical warfare one, but i might have the two seaters and electric warfare one swapped.
great review, when can we expect it on the website?
Hey Pete! Nice airplane! And nice shades by the way!

awesome music for an awesome aircraft best one I have seen so far
How long did it take to develope the flying skills necessary to fly in that crosswind with remote control aircraft is my question?. My comment great flying and preparation of the control balance or center/dead stick positions.Does this model use gyros to assist flight control?.
Try flying it with the tips folded up
I didn't know that C's and D's werent only blue angels though, thanks! and also, ive kinda been wondering, isnt it weird to have a two seater jet when the 2nd pilot is usually the gunner, in a non-fighter jets? lol
How much do these models cost and where do you get them? Big size, jet engines and all! Far cry from what I had when I was a kid!
Awesome bird!!!! How much is the PNF?
Hello dont know if u noticed in your video, an object passing, the 7:15 video , because if u not noticed a look right. so there's to see in slow motion. 7:35 of video and other object. And another video of the flight of the f18, at 24:49.

Watch this video watch?v=pz2Cl3TnRyM
A Super Hornet without CFTs
Great Review very informative! What batterys are you running on? mah? c rating? please reply
When will the RTF version of this plane be available on banana hobby
I crashed my Blue Angel and this f-18 is amazing! I need definitely need more practice to fly jets
You can't silence the EDF, but if you use a 12 blade fan instead of the usual 5-6 blades it'll sound almost like a real turbine. Especially with the rectangular intakes. Assuming it doesn't have cheater holes..
The first FA/18 is supposed to be a model of one from the Strike Fighter Squadron 103 (VF-103), correct?
Pilot Pete please answer my question.
-How fast can it fly on full throttle?- by that i mean pure speed on a straight line! and also can you make a video of out of the box review? i love this plane it seems awesome. my friend and i are thinking about buying a pair. we need that information before we buy!! thanks
This guy is REALLY appealing to my 90s side. It's like watching AWESOME R/C PLANES instead of AWESOME VIDEO GAMES
Waiting for the second review, thinking about buying one
This is the UTIMATE JET that I m LOOKING FORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! OMG!
such real
many speeds
wow
I wonder how many he dive bombed into the ground before he got good at flying it.
i'm gonna get this and fly with either the canopy open or the wings up....or both!
Are you guys at Apollo field..?
I got into this hobby 11 years too late it seems
what was that song in the beginning?? sounded sick
and when will the Blue Angel Paint option be back?
looks awesome on paper hope theres no issues on this , would you need to be an experienced flyer to fly this ? also can´t find the price XD
Looked like a carrier landing 😎 I was almost expecting full power as the gear hit the deck ;p beef up the landing gear and rig some arresting cables haha... you actually have some sweet landings bro . Nice flying especially given the conditions ☺
JAW DROPPIN' , I HAVE JUST GOT TA THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm..didn't the main gear fold back in that landing ?
good job pete great looking edf...
nice video,nice clear review pete,amazing jet!
Hey do you guys have 747's or any other commercial aircraft that is driven by fuel and is RC ? would love to fly one. also might be fun to attach a few lights to it, put a flare to mark a landing runway and try to land it at night.
@bananahobby because you do not put a camera on the jet?
They should put a camera in the cockpit for recording and/or the ability to look thru a monitor when flying.
Great job Pete even with that crazy
Unreal flying skills..
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!
When you fly these planes, helicopters you feel like a little kid again. It is the best feeling :DDDD
Guys please read the text I wrote in regards to the CANOPY. The FA/18 was BLOWN upside DOWN on the runway during a take off attempt. The damage was extensive to the main wing and the canopy mechanism. It was either quit with the review or review it the way it was. The repair was done at the field and was not good enough for the canopy. The winds were WILD CROSS that day and the review was made either way.

omg no doubt i'm gonna put this on my wishlist for christmas!!
Love this plane. Definitely a must have.
Start at 4:18
I've heard that banana hobby isn't very reliable or safe to buy from, is that true
Love the video..... My next plane!
can you belly land with it or it will rip the landing gear doors off??? please answer soon ( gonna by 1 )
I really like this FA/18 SUPER HORNET!!!
Incredible, hey, perhaps you can give a status on order # 91615-171124?
Are these still in stock
in the begining i thought the guy hacked Petes channel and tryed to pull off Petes amazing work! PS I LUV UR VIDS PETE WATCH THEM ALL THE TIME! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I was just wondering how much this jet would cost in AUD?
Hey hi i just want to know how many channel is the plane,and also how many channel is your transmitter
@bananahobby Please can you tell us what Transmitter you using , and what is the minumum quality radio you would use thanks.
How much and where can I get mine?
Hi Pete is this EPO or EPS?
i like it but i am confused that f-22 raptor have more feature than it
how much it is..
Hey I'm sorry if you mentioned it in the video and I missed it but what scale is it?
What is that guy on? some crazy speed?
You know what would be awesome to see this land on a small rc aircraft carrier and bananahobby should make a decent aircraft carrier iswell
Its a model of the F-18E super hornet from Boeing. The F/A-18A-D "Legacy Hornets" were produced by McDonnell Douglass.
I've seen many video reviews about the F-18, but why is this F-18's wing open and closes very slow?????????? :/
An F-18 HARV I believe?
Whats the body made of it best not be foam
Do you have a cold? Why are you wearing a winter cap on 30 degrees C? You know you can get heat stroke that way...-.-
what is the range of the radio and what kind of propulsion the engine use? thanks!
2:08 "Here in front of me I have a super, duper fast... DAR, LET ME LOOK AND SEE WHAT KIND OF FIGHTER IT IS, DAR..."
Exactly, If you are going to do the review on the jet at least know what it is!
It was obviously a joke
@myjoshrobinson you mean 195 right?
