For a long time I wanted to build again, because it was one of the first that I built, and yesterday I decided to make a new one.It is one of my favorite reaction planes, and as a child, I had several scale machines of this mythical military aircraft .This version is disassembled, and corresponds to the NASA variant, the F18 HARV (High Alpha Research Vehicle), specialized in the study of supersonic flight at high altitude and different angles of flight. Try to build it with a similar style flight ( It has its little difficulty), and the truth is that it is one of the best jet planes that I have built. Finally, I will say that I will make a militarized version, and surely, another with my weapons, I hope you like it.
Flight notes,
It has a very sensitive control of turning (roll) and of ascent / descent (picht), so I recommend smooth. Take off seems realistic to me, work on the flaps a lot, lower the flaps (Trim) and engine to full, the only raise The flight is also designed for aircraft carriers, but there you will have to use the joystick.

Ag3 landing lights.
Ag4 Parachute.

Take off with flaps only.
