JD Enterprises F-18 Hornet
Has anyone Built and flown this model ? I'm thinking of buying it but would like some info first. I'm almost ready to maiden my Skyburner 60 scratch built form M.A.N plans. The JD Enterprises F-18 Hornet may be my next jet project.

RE: JD Enterprises F-18 Hornet
Hallo Raven;
MAN (Model Airplane News magazine) did a bench and fly review on the JD F-18 in October 1996. They may still have a back copy available.
I build my ducted fan models from plans also, but from Trablet or RCM plans list.
Balsa always is lighter (and cheaper) than 'glass & foam.

FWIW,
I had some video of the JDE F-18 in flight....I think it had a Webra .82 motor with a Dynamax fan, I will tell you that it looked FAST, and had one incredible roll rate! The landing approach looked fast too, it came in hot.
Regards,
Joey.

RE: JD Enterprises F-18 Hornet
Thanks for the info guys. I'll check M.A.N.'s website and see about that back issue. I checked traplet and all I could find there was an f-18 prop jet.
I'd love to see that video Joey. You wouldn’t happen to remember where you downloaded it at would ya? I don't mind the speed, roll rate, or the hot landing. I'm used to flying birds with those characteristics anyway. I'm more concerned as to weather it tucks or rolls out of a turn. I like flying airplanes that fly like they are on rails and groove real tight. I hate flying plans that tuck or roll out. A plane with those tendencies doesn’t stay in my hanger for long
