Silverlit Remote Control X Twin F18 Hornet

Take to the skies with this famous X-Twin remote control F18 Hornet Jet!

Licensed by the Boeing Corporation, Silverlit’s sensational X-Twin F18 Hornet is not only a famous jet fighter, but has also become an air show favourite flown by the world famous Blue Angels Aerobatic Team! And now you can pilot your own!  It may be small with wingspan of just 26cm (approximately 10 inches), however it looks absolutely stunning when seen in action.

Comes completely assembled and ready to fly, this remote control aeroplane is superbly finished, in authentic colour schemes. Silverlit have utilised the latest sophisticated injection moulding technology to achieve a highly detailed airframe, made from flexible lightweight foam, and added a removable tricycle undercarriage to allow take off from a smooth surface.

A pre-installed two channel radio provides steering and trim adjustment by driving the two tiny motors independently using differential thrust, combined with proportional throttle for full three dimensional control.

Equally suitable for beginners or experts, they’re easily flown indoors in a large sports hall or outdoors in calm conditions.

Charging direct from the transmitter in less than half an hour provides fantastic flights of ten minutes or more between charges. Available on 27MHz bands A, B and C, to allow up to three different Silverlit R/C models to be flown together.
