Dont forget to rate.
Due to the "design" of the rudders and elevators, occasionally they will detach on the first start up, simply restart and the problem should go away. (yeah its annoying)
Works okay on low... Just dont go diving over 500mph on low. Was made on medium settings.
My version of the F18, very quick, nimble, agile, crazy stable; and attractive design.
Not to many gimmicks or gizmos to this guy, just a straight and sleek fighter Jet. Flies great when really low to the ground, easy to land, wont t buckle, looks amazing on high, great glider.
Its rather built to the point where you can land it without landing gear. Heck! It even skips accross water without using a single water block.

142 AstroMagician22There are no words to describe this airplane! Great job.9.7 years ago

122 Tango71The best F18 on here so far! Great job! Usually I look for planes with lots of potential and make them better, cooler, etc... I can't see a single thing to improve on this one. The fix for the H stab would be the only change. You can prevent it from falling off By changing it to flat bottom.9.7 years ago

122 Tango71Changing the H stab from symmetric to flat bottom seems to fix the issue. Great plane! I love flying this thing!9.7 years ago

3,096 WWIIPlaneBuilderYea, I saw a news article for the RAAF when 2 collided and severed a wing, flying and landing with one wing... Same thing happened with a f-15 when it was first in service, but with an enemy squadron leader and they landed too. @Tango719.7 years ago

3,096 WWIIPlaneBuilderAwesome plane, love taking off uss tiny... It is so close to nicking the water when I did it fully uploaded.9.7 years ago

122 Tango71Weird stuff started happening. So I went to fly it today and upon startup either the left or right H stab falls off. I re-downloaded it and overwrote the file. No change. Restarted SP, still no change. Kinda weird. I'm using an iPhone5. Not sure if that makes a difference. But awesome plane none the less! I'm an F-18 mechanic and I'm very impressed with the fact that I can still fly and land with half a wing and one H stab missing. Just like the real thing.9.7 years ago

4,236 IAMcoolguyBelieve me I tried too, there isn't much room however for both aesthetics and function though.9.7 years ago

122 Tango71Awesome plane! Flies very nice and stable. One thing that I would like to see and am trying to do the mod myself is to get rid of the elevator on the rear H stab and make the whole thing move like in the real thing. Everything else seems accurate.9.7 years ago
