In our bonus upload this week, we get a sneak peak at the new E-flite F-18 Blue Angels 80mm EDF! The E-flite F-18 was one of my favorites from last year and I actually considered painting it into Blue Angels #7. So, you can imagine my excitement for this new release! The model itself is the same as previously offered, but has been refreshed with the new Blue Angels scheme. Also, with this model Horizon Hobby is offering an ARF+ which is completely new for them. I did a couple easy modifications take make it that much more representative of Blue Angels #7 which I show in the video and includes cutting the missiles off the body and the wing tip rails (also correctly oriented the attachments). This model has become my new go to weekend flyer and with the scheme, I can now pretend I`m on that media ride I`ll never get, haha!
There was a stiff breeze today at the field and a lot of thermal turbulence so I thought I`d see how well the little DIY Sub-250 gram FPV model I built from foamboard would handle the conditions
