XFLY TWIN 40MM F-18 EDF 705MM JET WITHOUT TX/RX/BATT – GREY
XFly Model is proud to announce its second scale fighter jet F-18 Hornet in the twin 40mm EDF lineup. For the purpose of making it as most streamlined and true-to-scale as possible, XFly team equips the F-18 with twin power system setup and reserves scale details including air inlet, cockpit, nozzle and full-flying horizontal stabs.
The factory-installed power system, including twin efficient 1413-KV5500 brushless motors and twin 20A brushless ESCs, paired with a 4S LiPo battery, delivers an abundance of thrust for fast climbs, rolls, loops and endless fun for high alpha flying due to the F-18’s low wing load and full flying stabs. A flight time of around 3-8 mins can be achieved with proper throttle management.
Perfectly fitted landing gear design helps keep the plane lightweight and make take off & landing smooth. Landing gears can be easily removed for more speed and vertical performance. The twin EDF power system, with smooth inlet duct design, delivers an incredible turbine-like sound. Choose between the popular schemes, “Blue Angels” and “The Hawks”, the XFly F-18 is a must-have addition to your collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, this model is designed for experienced pilots. The twin EDF jets and full-flying control surfaces require advanced flying skills to operate safely and effectively.
You'll need a 4S LiPo battery between 1300–2600mAh capacity with an XT60 connector. Flight time ranges from 3–8 minutes depending on throttle management and flying style.
The aircraft arrives in ARR (Almost Ready to Fly) condition with both brushless motors, ESCs, servos and landing gear factory-installed. You'll need to source and fit your own transmitter, receiver, and 4S LiPo battery separately.
The fuselage is 980mm long with a 705mm wingspan. With twin 40mm EDF turbines and a low wing load of 82g/dm², it delivers fast climbs and aggressive aerobatic performance, though exact top speed isn't specified.
Assembly takes approximately 15 minutes and requires no glue—all components fit together quickly. The landing gear can also be removed if you want improved speed and vertical performance.
