Can I fly like Maverick ? FMS F-18F V2 70mm EDF Fighter Jet

Can I fly like Maverick ? FMS F-18F V2 70mm EDF Fighter Jet
AVAILABLE HERE: bit.ly/fmsF18
First flight of this small F/A-18. After one failed take off run I just about got it in the air. Some trimming out and got in some fast passes for the camera man before a slow but untidy landing.
Things to adjust for next time include using a lighter 6S3300 pack so CG further back and correcting the tracking of the mains landing gear that was causing it to crab along the ground.
Filmed by Trevor for the Essential RC RUclips channel using the Panasonic HC-X2 Pro 4K camcorder.

That jet is the best bang for the bucks

[@muhammad_hasnat]

What a sound, just wow

[@Deadzone2024]

How does it fly without the drop tank and missiles? Does sound absolutely brilliant.

[@EssentialRC]

No doubt will fly marginally quicker but not by much. Speed isn't everything. Looks quite good with everything attached.

Lovely maiden sir.
Just curious as to the difference in physical size of this 70, compared to the 64.
Cheers

Nice vid, looks liek a fun fast plane, thanks! I m also on grass at my field and struggling to decide what is the best EDF that handles grass in 70/80mm, whats been your most durable plane on grass?
