Ar t-Tech F-18

Nov 14, 2007

I received the F-18 in good condition assemble time took about 3 hours need to change one of the elevator control rod. I received lipo 3S 1200mAh that takes about only 5 minutes of flight. Aircraft flies really well but the foam is very fragile overhaul performance is very good so I gave a five star.

Doll of a jet

Nov 14, 2007

Very nice looking jet and a good flyer. It went together easily so it should be no problem for anyone. DF unit gives good thrust but not a speed demon. The battery was not marked for capacity but works fine for a 5-6 minute flight at varied power settings. The only negetive thing about it is the unpainted, not-to- scale "doll head" for a pilot figure. Five stars for this baby...

Great value...1 minor problem!

Was surprised by the quality, better than the Art-tech SU-27 I had. Few pros and cons:



- Plane goes together very easily.

- Has decent power, flys well and has a nice finish.

- Putting a bigger battery in might be a problem as the battery tray is cramped.

- Had to change the left rear servo rod as it's pre-bent and flexes too much, Changed for 2mm rod.



The last point was the biggest disappointment, but very easy to fix. No, this is not the same as the Hobby-Lobby version, they now have the StarMax....but that's twice the price!!
