Hey guys, quick update. People spotted our runcam falling off in the original announcement video (people don't miss a thing), but yes I had slapped some velcro on about 5 minutes before that flight and on that vertical it had peeled the paint clear off the model (never found that runcam). But I went to home depot and got a paint match and it is pretty spot on so I wanted to share the color code as anyone looking to do a blue angels model of any kind can use the color.

Since I put my RunCam 2 just about anywhere on my models it's always nice to have the paint match numbers. Thanks James, I will be sure to pick some up when I get this beautiful bird!My YouTube RC videos:

I have gained great admiration for certain warbirds and combat jets that I did not think much of before flying them. The looks alone can not make an airplane great. So now when ever a new model is released I try to test fly it first in a simulator to see how I would like it before commenting negatively about it.

... I would also say the FW F-22 would probably be even better for you, but you have to like Looking at your Jet ! And for me personally, the Hornet is a much better looking Jet than the Raptor !! I'd 'still get the 'Hornet' and call it good !! Cheers

For comparison, the FW F-4 comes in Heavier than this one on a 5000 mA and it's been proven to fly Ok off of Grass. Soooooooo, by my way of thinking, this F/A-18 will be awesome for you. Big and capable of a very wide Flight Envelope !!! I'd 'Say 'Go For It' !!!
