Official Freewing F/A-18C Hornet 90mm EDF Thread

[Pheonix]

I just checked my bank account. Will start saving now for this one.

[Aros]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY NOW!!! :Silly: :P LOL

[Pheonix]

Ok. Ready to buy.

[RCjetdude]

Nice! Are there plans to release a base gray primer version? how does the navy blue hold up to the sun?





Time to start scaling down some of my ordinance to 1/11, and design a BRU-57/A double rack

How about centerline and wing tanks as well?

[vduniec]

Ok. Now on to figure out how to do this scheme...

[slamdance64]

If it works on grass, then I am down for one. I will have to repaint it in RCAF colours though :-)

[Radar-Guy]

Will my front panel design fit? ;)

All of our new gen jets have grass-friendly gear in mind. You're in luck. :Cool:

[e4dragongunner]

Just gotta say it.... GRAY PLEASE........ no markings. Hoping that since this is an advance announcement you can accommodate all of the votes for a naked carrier bird! I don't want to repaint! :-)

Here are some more up close pics of the:

1. Battery Bay (disregard the rats nest, this was pre-production version and some of the leads they send were much longer than the final will be)
2. landing gear
3. flaps (nicely molded hinges and "open" from the top down view
4. low-vis rudder servo
5. the hidden elevator servo hatch behind the BUNO (just gets tacked on, my favorite minor detail)

She really is a beauty. I'll be back in 2 hours with some size comparisons shots after lunch.

Awesome plane!!! Hopfuly there will be a naked grey version so i can put a Swiss Air Force design on it:)

[PikeStaff]

Boy, the surface finish just gets better with each of your releases! This is looking mighty fine. ;-)

[EDFjetpilot]

Very nice! Great job guys!

So sweet...LOVE the hinges and low vis linkage. Man Callie isn't going to get much business on this one! What to change? Maybe the pilot name? ;)

[Brandon Moon]

Outstanding....now we just need the same sized Mig -29 ;)

[andrew_flyguy]

Just waiting to see how much this is going to cost me :Cool:

The hidden elevator linkage is my favorite tweak, plus the opened area between the intakes and the fuselage. It's actually an aerodynamic penalty (as is the intake splitter on our A-4/F-4/L-39, etc), but aesthetically it's really neat, and I like seeing skylight in between the intakes during a head-on pass.

[John Bergsmith]

Where's the order now button? :)

Haha, that would look sweet for sure! Welcome to Hobby Squawk by the way. We are a crazy bunch of aircraft nuts in here, stay for a while ;)

Yeah man, SUPER clean! Bravo!

I may be in for both schemes! : )
