Eachine F-18 F18 588mm Wingspan 50mm EDF Jet EPO RC Airplane KIT/PNP
A part of the review has been auto-translated.
Already tested and flies great. I used a 4S 1300mAh battery though. IMPORTANT The CG is located at 55 cm as written in the online manual. The paper manual is incorrect No CG at 110cm
flys nice and light using a 3s 1300mah 90c, pretty quick and easy enough to hand lunch by myself
Beautiful and cheap jet. PNP version complete with fan motor, servos and esc, receiver and TX need. Not suitable for beginners
I enjoyed it till it flew away. I believe the edf cu/t my aileron wire because I was unable to turn right. oh well. I have another one coming. great plane otherwise.
Awesome jet for the price I got it. worth every penny. I did change my esc to a 40amp flying mine on a 4s 2200mah lipo. it's super fast. the lipo is half the size of a normal 2200mah.i also had to hollow out the inside of canopy to get the canopy to close. don't use the cg in the manual as it's wrong. I posted a video of my flight https://youtu.be/z9jcyPMrA7E
excellent product goes very fast for 50mm,and is also rock solid and stable to fly,great plane for price ,I bought two more for friends they liked it that much,I use anything from a 1800mah to a 2600mah,I know the last one sounds crazy heavy but placed as far back as you can get it and this plane can still handle it no probs
Pros - The plane flies very nicely, unmistakably, you like it a lot when you drag. In the case of 3s Lipol it is necessary to use very hard batteries, otherwise the start problem is. Cons - The value of the center of gravity 110 mm is meaninglessly stated in the manual. The site has already been adjusted to 55 mm, which corresponds. The recommended deflections of the control elements are not mentioned in the manual at all. For the first flight, I recommend smaller deviations. For me, after one minute of running the engine, one of the EDF blades was torn off. Fortunately, I landed without damage.
There are three related videos on my plane: youtube.com/nasi0s First flight https://youtu.be/6xyXhw_1Lvc It's a very good second or third plane. Pretty fast in 3s. Sturdy, beautiful, and beautiful sound when it flies. It sucks a 1500mah 3s in about five minutes. Needs batteries above 45C, maybe more. In my opinion, you need a gyro, don't throw it manually unless you have experience. It fell out of my fault, and I'm in the process of picking up.
Everything came straight and it's a fantastic product. ♪ Say hello to you ♪
Very well protected for transport, the box was inside a sturdy corrugated box too, so no damage to the model during transport. Lots of nice scale detail for such a small model, very well finished. looking forward to getting this in the air !
