Build F-18 Super Hornet with Single EDF
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Yet another Fighter jet, this time is F/A-18F the 2 seated Super Hornet, the wingspan is about 1 meter plus, with the flying weight about 1700 gram. It's still using the same EDF as my previous jet, which is 70mm 12 blades FMS EDF. I use 6S battery by connecting two 3S 2200mAh Lipo batteries in series. Because F-18 has dual exhaust I have to make a bifurcated duct made form art card, the power is not too different from if without using split duct exhaust. I was planning to copy the CG from the FMS Super Hornet but when I examine it the FMS Super Hornet was not made in scale with the real plane, the shape of the wing is different from the real plane, maybe they use F-18 legacy hornet as a base and just modify the LERX and the air intake. So I have to calculate it manually.

Great to see that you've upgraded to 3D printing and laser cutting! Your awesome craftmanship deserves it! Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Who need fms model when u can make one by urself? Just found ur video while searching for something that can help me build my very own rc jet on yt and man, ur video is excellent and inspiring, good work dude.
you are an example of real spirit of RC Hobby, congratulations
Wow, thanks!
Another straight-forward/'quick' yet amazing design build, Julius. I know your mods will have the bugs OUT of 'The Super Bug' in no time.
Another magnificent build Julius! I appreciate that you actually show the struggles we all go through when testing out new aircraft. Btw, I almost came out of my chair watching that first "crash" (I thought for sure that plane was going to hit the ground nose first). But WOW! Did you ever get LUCKY!!! Perhaps you should design you own wind tunnel so you can iron out these sort of things without having to put such BEAUTIFUL aircraft in harm's way. Keep up the great work! I can't wait to try this build myself..
Do you have a link to where I can buy this plastic primer?
Looks FANTASTIC! Amazing what can be learned from flying a scale model.
Amazing that it survived all those crashes. Solid design and construction 👍
Never seen a landing like that one😎...cheers
lol thanks
Wow Julius, You're getting better and better all the time.
thank you
That’s impressive, for such a complicated model. Very well done!
Thank you very much!
That looks really awesome 😎👍 you are a tough fighter and eventually always you deliver unique results! Keep it up 💯💪
Thank you, I will
Bener2 jenius njenengan bang. Saya sangat2 salut sama ke kreativitas an njenengan

At first I thought it was because gyro but good for u that u figured it out great work 👍🏻really appreciate it man
My pleasure!
This turned out so good! Just like the real thing
Remarkable, and its a good size jet !
Very good workmanship, excellent
Thank you very much!

Have fun!
Day one of requesting for mig-25 pls 🥺
Mr. Perdana, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your work is a masterpiece every time, and I have great respect for it.
Would you please try YF-23 for your next work?
Great job. I like the design.
Gracias maestro por todos sus conocimientos compartidos Dios te bendiga y cuide siempre
Your awesome man. Very talented.
Om Jul memang hebat.
Plan nya jadi makin simpel. Mantep om gass bikin
Your Top Gun portfolio is nearly complete, only Tomcat is pending.
Continue sempre fazendo essas máquinas de querra meu amigo .
Julius parabéns belíssimo trabalho amo esses protótipo de jatos de querra e sempre que vc faz fica muito bom parabéns. E obrigado por sempre disponibilizar todos os vídeos e projetos o PDF .
Great job Julius 👏🏾. You should start 3d printing your canopy with clear PLA and your landing gear struts PETG.
no, better to print the mold and use vacuum forming or just soften the plastic and use the mold is better, just like what I did in F-22 Raptor, but yeah someday will print the landing gear, thanks btw
@JuliusPerdana I agree the vacuum forming is a lot better for the canopy. You're welcome.
Use carbon fiber rods to connect the entire airframe to the edf engine, the instability is quite noticeable.
thanks for the tip
Un excelente modelo. Mi pensar es que necesita el "cg" mucho más al frente. Construí un f 18 y me paso lo mismo.
amazing work as always!👍
Thanks again!
HI Julius It's very interesting and fun to see what you have going on in terms of new aircraft models. You do a good job, but above all you share plans and Stl files so that others can build one of your models. That is fantastically kind of you. Now I have looked at your pdf files for the F18 Super Hornet. I can see that F11 is not included in either the A0 or A4 pdfs. I was thinking of taking a break from my 1/6 scale P47 for a while and building your F18 Super Hornet and would be grateful if you could post the F11 part on your site. Best regards Kjell
oh let me check that, thanks for the heads up
Wow kalau lepas landasnya 👍👍👍
Yessssss absolutely beautiful
So good work...but need to good wing profile and edf thrust...
Muito bacana,f-18 lindo parabéns pelo excelente trabalho
asi es
Buatan om bule scale semua
Mantab
Nice one, i too thought maybe your cg was too far aft since it was hanging those first few attempts.
Mantap bosku....nanti lah kalau ada waktu saya mau main ke rumah. Masih di Depok kan boskuh..
F-18 body is crazy and aerodinamic is sh..t no problem with the model nice job! Congrat!👏
Thanks a lot!
I'm curious, Bang Julius, to make a beginner's sky walker so that the mold can be imitated by beginner friends..🙏🏻
Для тех,кто хочет повторить эту модель.Советы: F16+F21 и F15+F20 -эти детали делать из цельного куска пенопласта. На чертеже в детали Ц6 нет паза под соединение детали F3. Крыло передалал по своему.Модель будет с толкающим винтом и полетный вес в пределах 600-700 грамм.Пока строю.
For those who want to repeat this model.Tips: F16+F21 and F15+F20 -these parts are made from a single piece of foam. In the drawing, there is no groove in part C6 for the connection of part F3. I redid the wing in my own way.The model will be with a pusher propeller and a flight weight in the range of 600-700 grams.While building.
keren om Julius, Terbaik
Отлично, Браво мастер
I just found your channel and happy I did. As a suggestion for future projects, I hope you will consider the F-106 Delta Dart. I believe to one of the most beautiful fighters ever built and I believe has never been offered by any model RC company. I would love to build one. Thanks
Welcome aboard!
I whas waching one of your live stream and i saw that You said ,that You like the pt17 and cherokee planes and now i started a 1.5m now
Awesome! which one that 1.5meter?
@@JuliusPerdana i made it using 4 point view plane ,its a litlle hard but there is no other way for me ,maybe on sunday i can Fly it
At which angle we need to stick the vertical stabilizers. Please reply
Alat2nya komplit sekali
Yay! No ugly prop on the back!🥳🤩🥳🤩🥳🤩
as a weekend flyer I still prefer that ugly prop, just use EDF for show lol
Impressive work!!!!👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Rất Mong chờ Mig 41 từ kênh của Bạn !Chào thân mến!

That is nice bro
Fantastic f18 great work bud
Thanks 👍
GOOD JOB ROY!! AAAA JULIUS THE LEARN TOO FLY?? SHOW HEAM!! LEARN HEAM!! IT'S NICE TO FLY STABLE!! YOU FEAL FREE IN SKY!!! ❤️ ANY WAY HE MAKE GOOD JOB, TOO FIX MODELS, LIKE YOU!!! ❤
سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم
Nice
Thanks
Can i use edf 64mm?
Can I use edf after 2 -3 projects
Next one please build mig29 julius ❤️
T7a would be awesome
need to do a vfa-31 decal set i designed the real paint job also painted the sweet little miss f-14??? maybe
Next please build E-2C Hawkeye
Hi. May I know what will be the peinting settings like the scale if I will use the plan and put in a 50mm EDF fan? Thanks
Where i can find 5mm depron? I can't find it :(
Pa Julius numpang nanya 🙏 Hidrayer untuk menekukan styrofoam. Berapa wots yang cocoknya? Terima kasih.
ga perlu pake hair dryer lapis lakban aja di sisi luar lalu coba lengkungkan di atas pipa/ pralon, ntar kalo udah melengkung baru dilepas lakbannya lagi.
dont crash this plane, its a nice plane, keep it with you or sell it, keep the plane with motor, its a good plane, aqui no brasil um avião desses é caro pra caramba
Can you try a f-8 crusader?
Amigo, Você está de parabéns pelo seu trabalho, eu gosto muito, abraço companheiro, próximo vídeo pode ser o f-14 que tal,ok. 😊
Very nice plane..sir ..What is the size of the wing that fits the Edf 64mm motor
80 cm maybe
Do you have a link to where I can buy this plastic primer?
Set your video camera to infinity focus so focus doesn't fade in and out all the time. Auto focus is terrible for RC flying shots.
thank you
@@JuliusPerdanaAbsolutely fantastic!
Thanks for the video and fun ! But where is THE CAT !!!!! ?
I forgot to include him, next video!
Build Tupolev-160 please 🙏
Bang kalau mau buat ikut plan tetapi mau ukuran jet nya kecil gimana ya ? Soalnya baru pemula. Takut besar besar 😂 tidak tahu lagi center of gravity & lain2
Love from India
Please make a f 14 tomcat with top gun decals
Nice video
Is it equipped with jet engine and fly with jet engine
EDF, Electric Ducted Fan
Top...Gun !!!
This is awesome! How is progress on the SR-71?
Just started cutting the foam, I'll make live video building it, thanks btw
@@JuliusPerdana Thats great! And is there a way that i can show you pictures of the planes i made using your plans? i just finished building your su-57 and it flies great
@@ClipperProductions-he4xh do you have facebook? Tag me there, or email me : juliusperdanapr@gmail.com
Nice
How much flight time would you get with 2 3s 2200mah battery?is it enough fir beginners?
2-3 minutes, EDF is not for beginners
15:07 you should balance model in normal position not upside down. F-18 is high wing plane.
thanks man
Hello, how are you doing that your hot glue isn't melting your depron? I have that problem -,-
you need to use different glue stick, it looks like your melting point is too low, or you use bigger glue gun that usually hotter then the smaller one. Or you may use different brand of glue gun
Alatnya makin canggih
Can I use 64mm 2500kv bldc motor to push a 4.5lb plane??
EDF or motor?
So you think it will fiy using an FMS 4s edf
twin yes, single no
kalau lubang intakenya kotak,itu F-18 growler om jul🙏
Growler ya Superhornet
where can i find the plans for laser cutting?
email me to juliusperdanapr@gmail.com
Please make this planes smaller for 3s or 4s max.. ❤
Beli remotnya di toko mna mas
Hello friend, I'm a Brazilian, I watch your videos a lot, I wanted to know if you sell some aircraft online through sales sites?

ke bawahin, ga usah dipikirin ikutin aja plan nya, udah dirubah kok
❤from india
Can you add how to calculat rc aircraft
ANY WAY, GREAT MODEL, GREAT JOB!! ❤ I DON'T HAVE WORDS TOO SAY!!!! WANDERFOYL❤
Om ajak saya main dong😂
