My Skymaster F-18c flew like crap, got rid of it after about 30 flights. It landed fine, very easy, but if you just pulled a little to hard on the elevator in a turn the nose would wobble side to side and it actually felt like it wanted to tuck it's nose under, very strange and it made me very nervous to fly it. If you fly a big pattern with giant turns and only do low passes, then you will probably like it. Aerobatics were out of the question, on the back side of a loop the nose would wobble from side to side. My F-18F had no bad habits, you could pull as hard as you wanted. The F model has about 25 percent more wing area and is a better design, I'm still pissed that Skymaster would sell such a jet, I took a big hit financially to get rid of it.
