Wanted -History lesson on Yellow, why is it?
why is it that when I see Yellow F-18s up for sale they always say "twin" even though they aren't most of the time. Recently there was an actual twin up for sale that sold, and a the same time there was what was described as a "twin" for sale with a single turbine in it. Both adds said "twin". I always see them up for sale this way when they usually are setup for one turbine.
Also, why do they always refer to these kits as "82". I see the F-18s and the F-14s are called out that way. What is the significance of that? Length or year?

Hi Andy
What you are seeing is
Yellow has a big F-18 and a small F-18
Back in the day these were originally built to fly on a Dynamax/.82 engine combo
The BIG one used 2 fans and the small one used 1 fan
Thus the designation Twin and single
With the advent of turbines and larger turbines the TWIN was capable of running on 1 large turbine
But is still refered as the TWIN to let you know it is the big one
hope this helps
