I've never wieghed mine, so I wouldn't be surprised if it weighed 30#.

454, is this your first f-18? They are heavy.

Hello Raf,

Just wanted to ask if you have any pics of your Chippy Ho turbine mount section.
I just received mine today and studying it a bit.

Thanks,

Orlando

Hi! Raf,
I saw your F-18C Chippy Ho with smoke and she’s beautiful! Do you have any thread about how you setup the smoke system on your jet? I have F-18C Chippy Ho and I don’t have enough space where to install the smoke tank without affecting the CG. Can I use the outside tanks for that?
Thanks,
John

Here is Chippy Ho Part 2.5:

This is the Hornet I purchased from Raffy. I gave her a new coat of paint and then threw her in the air. She flies great. Dry weight is 35 lbs.

Hi Guy's
I have had mine in a box for nearly 2 years, it is the Xtreme jets Chippy Ho, was in 2 minds wheather to build it or not because I already have the Skymaster F-18F and I want a more sporty jet but giving it another thought.
I have a Jet Central Rhino available to put in it, and I don't like to derate the engine and I like to haul ***** around the sky, is it a bit of an overkill? can I get away with nearly 40lb pushing it around?
