F/A-18C Hornet “Gray Diamonds” with 9-Blade 90mm EDF Jet from Freewing – ARF PLUS – FJ31421AP
Version Info: This is the ARF+ version for pilots who wish to install their own power system. All primary electronics including servos and landing gear come pre-installed, just add your own power system (EDF, motor, and ESC) to begin flying.
Over ten years ago, Freewing began developing their first American 90mm EDF, the F/A-18E Super Hornet. To celebrate Freewing’s Eleventh anniversary, we are proud to announce an all-new 90mm F/A-18C Hornet, complete with all the latest features common to modern era EDFs in our Super Scale series. Be sure to save a summer slot for the Freewing F/A-18C, the quintessential 90mm Hornet on the planet!
