G'day!
Traplet has got a plan for the F18, I can scan you the construction article if you want.
Otherwise Bertella , an Italian guy also has one Hornet plan but I don't really know what's it worth, may be some one can tell us?

You will find more info in RCJI mag

Regards
Florent

Thorjets do an F18 plan. It is all wood built up construction with foam wings which they will supply. Engine range 45 - 91. If interested I can post phone number and address here in the UK.

No web site but if you phone them they have a catalogue. If you want any info on what their plans are like I have built their F20 and took some pics of it during the build.

Nightchook,

I've just sent you the scanned pages, tell me if you are able to open the files, otherwise I can try again.
You can check traplet's web site at : www.traplet.com
They have an Australian office too!

Cheers!

I believe the Thorjet F-18 is semi scale, the inlets and exhaust have been modified to give better fan performance.

This is changeup. I recently got a set of F-18 G. Bertella plans, but no manual. This thing is about 6 feet long!
