Hi, all F-18f fans

we just finished the mould (included panel line with scale details) for F-18F and we will assemble this F-18f and will make the new inlet for the 125mm diameter of dynamax fan,

this will can easy fit to 120mm to 125mm , not need modify the inlet again, please wait a few days that i will test fly this first product of F-18f soon,

EDF F-18F

Length: 1760 mm(69�). Wingspan: 1125mm(44.3�).

Power: 6-7kg thrust (105mm to 125mm EDF unit)

YES!!

sounds like a perfect airframe for a Super Bee.

Anton, - going to have a pipe made for this to run a turbine in it?

here goes the "E"

Sparhawk

But of course!

I mean, look at it... it's about the same size as the Yellow single, so why not? While I do like 'E' planes and jets, sometimes I just want to fuel and fly, fuel and fly, and not have to deal with the charging of large batts (still pricey$$) or wait times.
What I would do to keep it simple, would be to modify the tail to just use (heaven forbid) a single straight pipe.

I always wanted a Yellow Single but wasn't willing to build it straight up from a kit. I don't remotely have the time to do that.

Pepperpete

So when will we be able to see a more concrete flight video? The prototype vid is very hard to make out and didn't show takeoff etc etc...

Pepperpete

Any news??

the F-18f EDF almost finish , i can not wait test fly it

pilot tw

just weigh the F-18f EDF ( 6.8kg / 15lbs), included 12S 5000mah batts, this F-18f is elevons version with rudders, and without the Flaps and Ailerons, I will test fly this f-18f soon ..

Pepperpete

Flaps and Ailerons will be an option though correct? As well as having the ability to run dual 90mm fans?

Looking at that last photo It may be tight running a twin setup. But I'm sure someone will make it happen....... Carl?

Nice job on the air frames but it looks likeSkymaster still hasn't learned how to make proper, area ruled intake ducting.

Anton, BVM is the US distributor for Skymaster, right? You should contact them to learn how to do proper intake ducting. The ducting in the photos above are very ineffecient, waste energy, and will cause reduced flight times. EDFs fly better and longer with proper intake ducting.

Dear Sir

yes, Thank you for suggested, do not worry, i played the DF Jets over 15years from 1985" i had more experanced for the DF jets,

this not correct inlet, my workers did the simple inlet for test fly only, these worker never to know how important for intake ducting before EDF section, i had test the thrust , it is over 5kg thrust , no problem for maiden fly, and i will redesign the big diameter of inlet for fit the Danymax fan,

after test fly by EDF then we will conversion to turbine power and test fly again soon,

before deliver the F-18f to customers will change the new inlet correctly, TKS

Best Regards

Glad to hear you will do a proper intake for these jets. Although the F-18 flies good in the video, proper intakes will increase the flight time.
