F-18大黃蜂
F/A-18黃蜂式戰鬥攻擊機(F/A-18 "Hornet" Strike Fighter)是美國海軍所發展、一種專門針對航空母艦起降而開發的對空/對地雙用全天候戰機,它同時也是美國軍方第一架同時擁有戰鬥機與攻擊機身份的機種,對於空間有限、承載機隊數量不多的航空母艦而言,像F/A-18這種角色多變的泛用機種,是非常優秀的配屬選擇,也是目前美國海軍最重要的航艦搭載戰機。(from wiki)
Wt: 1130g (body only) + Electronic 200g + 360g lipo = 1600g flying weight!
May need to reduce weight further .. .
機長 : 1.5 米
翼展 : 1.1 米
EDF 68 x 2 stock fan is 4 blade, small pitch, high thrust. No duct fan housing !
ESC 35A x2
3s 2200mA x 2
Reason to buy: to investigate the retract system
Project stopped, waiting for a suitable power setup....as the stock fans are X#$%@....
It may take a lot of effort to enlarge the ducts to accomodate a reliable 68mm EDF. It will be easier to drop it 2 64mm EDF (total 1200g thrust) .
