I am new to edf and foamies. I just got my h/l f-18 and the directions are pretty bad. Is there a link with some building pointers? Is the glue included any good? any tips would be great! starting to build tommorrow

Dont use the glue included if it the normal all white package with no labeling. Its just cheap and its my opinion not to use it. As far as the FA-18 if its the Blue Angel's or the Red and Gray there is not much to it, just follow the pictures and if you have questions on specific parts take pictures and post them here and i will check in on this forum to help out.

Hey Robert, I'm gettin' ready for the maiden on my H/L F-18. Do have any recomendations on control throws , and C.G. location.
My instructions say C.G. is 580mmback from the nose tip and 370mm from the exhaust nozzle forward ? but nothing about the throws.
