3DF016 F-18 Park Jet Kit ........$64.95


 

Please read the guarantee and shipping page before you order.


About the Design: The F-18 is the USA's prime Naval fighter/Attacker. It is a state of the art, fly by wire, high performance jet. It is seen around the world in the precision flight demonstrations by the Navy Blue Angles. The graceful, yet powerful design has been captured in our easy to fly, scale, park jet. It features a full, scale fuselage, functioning intakes with flow through ducting, and scale lines. Yet with all that jet looks, it can still fly slow enough for baseball sized fields!  Uses conventional built up construction from box fuselage design.


Building:

If you are new to Depron you HAVE TO TRY IT!!! The stuff is great! It is all laser cut just like a big wood kit! It is a tough foam with a smooth, glossy surface. It is easy to airbrush, spray paint, or "marker". It is lighter than other foams as well as stronger! We ship it in from Europe, as it is not available here in the USA.  Give yourself a weekend to put all the parts together and get it painted. It is a fast construction with no ribs, sticks or complicated structures. We have provided a list of motors and battery combinations on the plans to help you get the right equipment.
