The manually actuated doors are a pain on the FW though.
Did the maiden the other day on my base grey one and hope to get some more packs through her tomorrow. She is one nice flying model!!!! Just really keen to get out and fly it again. I've flown a good portion of the FW range and I have to say its close to one of my favorites to fly so far. some more setup and tweaking and lets she were she ends up.
Landing is a breeze. looks great in the pattern.

These Pilots sit Higher and more forward in their respective Cockpits than most people would want to deal with. Depending upon your particular 'Accuracy' criterion, you may or may not be satisfied with nearly All the current offerings for Pilots in the 1:12 through 1:10 Range !! If you have some measure of 'Patience' and are looking for a properly Sized Modern Pilot for your projects, then I'm confident one will be made available at some point. Either run with a 'Close Enough' Dude in your Jet or in my case, Run without anything. With the Later being preferred anyway for static display with a 'Fixed Canopy' installed (since the Mis-Sized Dude cannot be easily removed) in lieu of a Properly Sized Dude.
Or, alternatively, you can simply 'Build' your own Seat and 'Create' your own Dude for it Hahahahaha . GL !!

I originally pre-ordered this Hornet, but cancelled due to a flying field closure at that time. So, I'm looking to reorder, but I let some time go by in hope of some kome kinks being worked out by the time I order. Supposedly there was a small percentage of Hornet's affected by some issues.
For Motion or anyone who has recently purchased either color scheme (but some apply directly to the Gray one), does the current stock on the website available for purchase contain an updated F/A-18C of any kind?
For example, is there adequate glue on the stabilator mount plates, any updates to the servos (are they all metal geared or hybrid), any control box issues, gray colored molded plastic mount pieces instead of blue, etc.?

Hahahahaha.. Thanks, I crack myself up too sometimes !! Everybody's gotta love a good 'GatorJet' .... Cheers !!
∆ Are you the kinda Guy that runs 'Stock' electronics in your stuff ?? I personally wouldn't care what Elevator or Aileron Servos come in a Jet. Even the Rudders need to be changed out if I'm after Precision and Reliable Movement. I'll use the stock stuff on Flaps, NoseWheel Steering maybe and stuff like TailHooks and Bomb Release Mechanisms. Soooooooo to me, They're not 'Completely' useless !!

Coolio !!!
I run a whole bunch of Different Weapons and Stuff (Camera Pods Various ECM Sensors,... etc) under mine, each of which affects my Trim !! Having to constantly adjust Trim warrants very fine trim adjustments along with Servos that will accommodate those constant Configuration driven Trim adjustments. It's unfortunate I cannot get the precision on even Rudder or Steering Servos out of a 'Stocker' ... Costly, yes, but a necessity when dabbling in these Realms !! Apparently, some Guyz are running these $9.99 Servos on their 'Foamies' at 140mph !!! And happy with them... Go figure. Hahahahaha GL !! Cheers !!
Flying' around like 'This' changes the EDFGame considerably !! This thing really messes with the FlightDynamics !!
