RE: Y/A F18 SINGLE
Hi Steve, here is a video where appears mine flying. Landing was not perfect but it was one of the first flights and I was getting used to it.
The jet flys great and it is very stable and also feels solid in the air. When aproching stall speed the jet has a tendency to woble a bit (move the wing up and down), which is a good warning that you are comming too low.
Be aware of visibility, this is a small jet and depending on your color scheme it will get dificult to see sometimes until you get used to it.

I had one a few years ago, it flew excellent on OS91/Dynamax.
Michel is right, it does get very small.... very quick!

Hi,
The CG is the same whether you use the stock tanks or the conversion (??) tanks. They're the same capacity, just a lot more expensive. By the way, did you get the videos I emailed?

RE: Y/A F18 SINGLE
Hi michel, finally able to download video, is it a mk3 wren 14lb, looks fast, looks great in the air. Do flaps make alot of difference on takeoff?

RE: Y/A F18 SINGLE
Yes it is a MK3 putting 14lbs of thrust. It is an excelent combination. Flaps do help to get smoother takeoffs. If you don't use them you will get the "jump of the runway behaviour". But you just need about 15 degrees.
The video takes a lot to load, it seems the web page of the club doesn´t have a lot of bandwidth. It is a 20MB file if anyone want's it let me know and I will send it.
