Which flies/lands better? SM F18C or SM F18F?
So I read a lot about:
"F18's are awesome, but they land like crap and eventually you'll dork it"
"F18's land great, just hold power"
"F18C lands better than F"
"F18C bites you on landing more than F"
"Get the one with round intakes, square intakes is the 'harder one' to fly/land" - C has round intakes FYI
"F flies better, it has more wing cuz it's the 'Super' Hornet... Duh!"
"They all fly and land great"
"They all fly and land like crap"
"They all fly great and they all land like crap"
I have seen very experienced pilots land their Tamjet/SM/JL/FEJ 18's like butter on one flight and then slam her down and nearly put the gear through the fuses on the next flight. Why are they so inconsistent? My BVM Hun, BVM F86 both require significant power management on final, but seem much more predictable.
So who likes the C and who likes the F and why????
