XFLY TWIN 40MM F-18 EDF 705MM JET WITHOUT TX/RX/BATT - BLUE

XFly Model is proud to announce its second scale fighter jet F-18 Hornet in the twin 40mm EDF lineup. For the purpose of making it as most streamlined and true-to-scale as possible, XFly team equips the F-18 with twin power system setup and reserves scale details including air inlet, cockpit, nozzle and full-flying horizontal stabs.

The factory-installed power system, including twin efficient 1413-KV5500 brushless motors and twin 20A brushless ESCs, paired with a 4S LiPo battery, delivers an abundance of thrust for fast climbs, rolls, loops and endless fun for high alpha flying due to the F-18’s low wing load and full flying stabs. A flight time of around 3-8 mins can be achieved with proper throttle management.

Perfectly fitted landing gear design helps keep the plane lightweight and make take off & landing smooth. Landing gears can be easily removed for more speed and vertical performance. The twin EDF power system, with smooth inlet duct design, delivers an incredible turbine-like sound.

Safe flying is YOUR responsibility.

Update 01/01/26: The laws have changed regarding operating drones and model aircraft in the UK.

What you need to do:
You must take a theory test and register with the CAA before flying most drones or model aircraft outdoors in the UK. 
There are two requirements and you may need to meet both: 

• Pass a theory test to get a Flyer ID. 

This makes sure you know how to fly safely and legally. 

• Register with the CAA for an Operator ID. 

This registers you as someone who is responsible for a drone or model aircraft. 
Most people get their Flyer ID and Operator ID at the same time.

It is against the law to fly a drone or model aircraft without having the required IDs.
You can also be fined for breaking the law when flying. In the most serious cases, you could be sent to prison. 

The requirements are based on the weight or class of your drone or model aircraft. 

Registration requirements for drones and model aircraft:

See:
UK Civil Aviation Authority.
