FMS EDF Jet 70mm F-18F V2 PNP
by FMS

The FMS EDF Jet 70mm F-18F V2 PNP (SKU: FMS100P) is a high-performance, twin-seat carrier-capable scale strike fighter engineered for intermediate and advanced RC jet aviators. Replicating the Boeing / McDonnell Douglas F/A-18F Super Hornet, this upgraded Version 2 model features an updated 70mm 12-blade ducted fan driven by a high-torque brushless inrunner motor and a Predator ESC, delivering rapid acceleration, vertical climb capability, and a resonant turbine-like acoustic profile.

Constructed from high-density, resilient EPO foam coated in vibrant water-based paint, the airframe incorporates CNC-machined shock-absorbing metal landing gear with electric retracts, capable of handling firm carrier-style landings and grass-strip operations. The F-18F V2 features fully articulated flying surfaces—including functional split flaps, independent full-flying horizontal stabilizers, twin operational rudders with steerable nose gear, and factory-installed digital metal-gear servos on ball-link pushrods. Built with a glue-free screw-together structure, a push-button release canopy hatch, and four interchangeable livery decal sets, it provides a clean, modular build for high-speed scale sorties.

Key Features

• Upgraded 70mm 12-Blade EDF V2 Power Unit: High-efficiency 12-blade ducted fan delivers turbine-like sound characteristics and high thrust across a wide airspeed envelope.

• High-Power Inrunner Brushless System: Matched with an inner runner brushless motor and a high-amp Predator ESC with an EC5 connector for 6S LiPo power.

• Full Scale Articulation (6-Channel Control): Features independent ailerons, full-flying elevators, twin functional rudders, flaps, throttle, and steerable electric retracts.

• CNC-Machined Shock-Absorbing Landing Gear: Articulated metal suspension struts dampen high-impact runway touchdowns and roll smoothly over asphalt and short grass.

• Precision Ball-Link Control Horns: Factory-installed ball-joint linkages eliminate mechanical slop, ensuring crisp and predictable control responses at high speeds.

• Glue-Free Modular Assembly: Optimized screw-together airframe with carbon fiber wing spars allows rapid field breakdown and transport without adhesives.

• Convenient Push-Button Canopy Hatch: Mechanical release button provides fast, secure access to the battery compartment without relying on exterior pull tabs or friction catches.

• Four Customizable Livery Decal Sets: Includes four authentic military squadron decal sheets, allowing pilots to customize their airframe's finish.
