Thank you for this Ryan. I didn't know this plane was out from HH. Why I LOVE watching yours and a few other channels. All from USA. If u want to be in the know got to know what is going on the the GREAT USA! Which Im glad I've found and participate in sir
You prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Amir Trace i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I've seen a lot of people show dislike for the safe features. The funny thing is no one wants to mention the PUBLIC SAFETY it can provide besides just protecting the plane.
I love safe features. I'm a new pilot with absolutely nobody to coach me. Safe is the only reason my 1st airplane is still in a flyable condition 30+ flight later.
A Blue Angel finally!!!! They should definitely make a separate canopy with the single-seat. I had a Blue Angel 10 years ago that came with a single seat and a double seat canopy. As always awesome entertaining flight. Thanks Ryan
Awesome shakedown. Beautiful aircraft by Horizon with thrust to spare and sounds amazing. Nice comprehensive overview with a lot of helpful advice and tips in the video.
I've been flying for over 10 years and always bind with SAFE Select to a switch. Why not? The jets can be a bit of a handful and my first 6s jet was the twin 80mm Freewing F-14 (I know lol... but I survived!!) There were a few times it got so far away from me that I almost lost it. That's where SAFE would have been nice to have. This 6s Blue Angel is my 2nd 6s EDF jet but due to SAFE select I enjoy it a lot more! I can switch it on for casual flying and switch it off for the aerobatics. I love it. The only time I "need" it is if I fly too far and since I'm still new-ish to jets that very easy to do...
Man I am going to save up for THIS! I have seen them perform almost every year of my life, so It would be an honor to fly this. Also, no trimming! That’s E-Flite’s quality for you! I do wish that they came out with a Tomcat though. Maybe a twin 64. [EDIT] December 2021, E-Flite DID come out with a Tomcat, a twin 40mm.
Sweet😎👍 will definitely be adding this beautiful Hornet to my hanger..I had a good feeling (hoping they would at some point) that E-flight would be releasing one for the Blue Angels, just a matter of time🛩🛩😎😎😄😄 Can't wait to see this aircraft in person...nice video as always😉
I can see several scenarios where even a very advanced pilot might want safe mode, even beyond the ones you stated. I was standing next to my friend one day, while he was 'learning' from a check out guy first time at an organized local RC field. He said my rudders stuck hard over, what do I do? The checker, "I don't know". Me "cross it up, opposite aileron and slip it in". Worked a charm. One of those instances I was talking about, if the safe system is smart enough to handle something like that, and you have no idea how to save it.
I agree with all you just said about safe in this film. Have it on the eflite f16 70mm on a switch and why I have a3L gyros on my 80 & 90 jets so I can fly on those windy days here in the uk of which there are a lot!
Nice run, glad to see you do get a break from cross wind hurricanes, safe or not still the best reciever in the business and worth the extra money for the BNF hands down 🤩BB
that is the first landing, the cuts are for color correcting sky verses ground and also zooming in post. When I zoom the flight portions in editing its too big on the ground so I transition back. Nice try smarty pants
@@PilotRyanMedia Shoot! Hahah I thought I caught ya. 😉 I'm starting to notice cuts and edits the more I play around with editing. Keep on doing what you do! You are 1/3 of the reason why I buy so many planes. Love y'all.
So awesome!! Haven't flown my FW blue angels 90mm yet cuz I'm waiting to put SAFE in it, as I still use SAFE to land my Eflite F16 and A-10, but would this eflite one be an easier one to fly than the 90mm for me since I'm not quite as experienced with jets? I do fly off pavement so the gear shouldn't be a huge issue I don't think
Great review thanks. Did Bobby plug in his computer and change the elevator throw like explained when you flew the grey E-flite f-18? Is there a vid for that? Cheers
Love the jet and everything your doing for the Rc modeling world. But I have to ask That tree at the end of your runway. How many times have you slammed a plane or a jet in to the top of it?..hahahaha!
Flying in flip flop,s just out right! LoL My flying partner has one hell of a scar across his foot and leg ,wearing flip flops , when a plane blew off table and landed on throttle and set a war bird across his foot, night at the ER
Great vid. Infinitive. Love the Angles scheme. My understanding that the wingtip hard points need to stay on to make the plane fly better; plus the planes are not dedicated to the Blu Angles and must remain mission ready to return to fleet in contingency. At least what I was told.
Awesome guys. Love the vid. My field has a short take off cement runway so I normally land on the grass. In your opinion would the F18 handle grass landings ok? Thanks!
Nice video guys.... The only jet I have is the eFlite F-15 which I fly both on AS3X and Safe. Would the F-18 be a good second jet or would you recommend something else.
I'm so glad they came out with this livery, much better than the original. I may have to pull the trigger now... Question is, did they fix the elevator issue?
@@MultiSkyman1 the elevators have an issue with the slot on the elevator horn coming off of the servo arm under high loading. There are videos of it out there. Gooniac33 has a fix of putting a ball joint on the servo arm.
I'm so happy eflite puts safe options on all there planes now. There are a few planes I would have never purchased if it wasn't for safe. Iike my v900, without safe I know I would've lost orientation a long time ago and it would be junk by now. But anyway that is one awesome jet
Would be cool to see some flights on smaller batteries, I have a couple 4000 SMART batteries I'll be flying this with when it arrives. I'll take as many videos as you have on this plane since I ordered one too! 😉
I find that on certain planes with SAFE (like most EDF jets, wings and warbirds) that when flying with SAFE ON, turn rates to high and it increases bank angle and shortens loop. I mostly fly in low rates so need to remember to flip switch to high when flying with SAFE on. It helps but still no comparison to full unlimited controls.
You can adjust the gain and priority for all 3 axis with bluetooth (mobil app isn't very good) cable or USB (PC app is so much better). Priority is like expo. If you reduce it to like 40-60 is doesn't fight you as much. I can turn the Eflite 70mm EDF on a dime. Wings will go 90° high without getting into a roll. Try it out. You'll like it much better!
You can also mix the safe switch to rates so in safe mode rates are 100% on ailerons and 60% when the switch is set to off. That way you don’t need to think about it.
I watches this video and old one (gray eflite f-18). In both videos your using a 5000. However in the other video it barely gets off at the end of runway and first takeoff maybe some in grass. This video it lifts at 2/3 maybe slightly earlier. What changed to make a difference?
Sweet flight awesome looking jet. The only thing is this is a 30C jet with an 80 m m EDF. The FMS is 70 mm and I fly for almost 5 minutes. So all I have is 4000 and 3300 batteries 60c. You think it would be bad to fly it with these batteries?
Pilot 👨✈️ Ryan. I’m waiting till e flite get this blue angels f 18 in stock before I order, I read the reviews on the grey version “which is the same jet”. I heard some good and negative reviews and being underpowered. But I think they’re in experience. What do you think about it since you flown it? your decision would be my deciding factor. Great flying
This is unequivocally next in my list. Question, are far as stability how would you compare this E-flite 80mm F-18 with the Freewing F-4D Phantom II High Performance 90mm? I think the new versions now have the same 4000g (8.8) thrust
Were you aware that the E-Flite F-18 Hornet recommended c.g. is 70 mm to 78 mm and the E-Flite Blue Angles Hornet recommended c.g. is 85 mm plus or minus 5 mm ??? Did Horizon post a product up date on this huge change in center of gravity ??

I've seen a lot of people show dislike for the safe features. The funny thing is no one wants to mention the PUBLIC SAFETY it can provide besides just protecting the plane.
Glad you are showing safe.
NICE!!! SAFE is a very nice insurance policy when needed
Safe is a great tool when needed no doubt. It's saved me a plane or two!!!
An exceptional sounding 80mm, on video.
Wow, what a nice aircraft,that rolling climb was (wow)
Nice looking plane
Love the blue angel livery looks great. Flys even better. Nice job guys. 👍👍😎
Ohhhh I have to get one! I've been waiting for a blue angels scheme as well!!
Like you say sir. SAFE Is a tool to be used. Great way to explain it. A HELPING HAND at our side if we need it.
It sounds great man!Awesome shakedown vid Ryan!👍🍻
I love safe features. I'm a new pilot with absolutely nobody to coach me. Safe is the only reason my 1st airplane is still in a flyable condition 30+ flight later.
I know this comment is a year old, but if you have a pc that can run it, an rc flight sim is well worth the money.
Great flying and I too love the scheme!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
A Blue Angel finally!!!! They should definitely make a separate canopy with the single-seat. I had a Blue Angel 10 years ago that came with a single seat and a double seat canopy. As always awesome entertaining flight. Thanks Ryan
I've been waiting since ~2am for this video when HH posted the Pre-Order. Nice!!
Nice plane..love the sound of that Edf 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice!!!!! Thanks for posting ryan. I'm seriously wanting this.
Awesome shakedown. Beautiful aircraft by Horizon with thrust to spare and sounds amazing. Nice comprehensive overview with a lot of helpful advice and tips in the video.
Great
Video!! Super nice looking jet, thanks for sharing 👊🏼👍🏼🔥🔥🔥
That sound is incredible!!!
My God that planes sounds amazing. Nice flight!
Thanks a lot!
Almost perfect edit at 5:50min. Wow! Amazing.
Great F-18 flights.

Great sounding and looking jet. The secret with SAFE turns is adding rudder. Rudder will bring those turns in much more.
Reducing gain and priority! Try it out! Can turn the F16 on a dime even in safe.

Nice flying Ryan, it looks great! They are making a kit plus now too!
downright epic. beauty!
Excellent. Should have waited for this one but did get the FW HP 90mm in-runner. That was a great flight.

Nice thing about that safe is you can adjust ur banks and stuff threw programming app
That’s my favorite jet. This will be on my list
Super review Ryan! Love tge blue angels scheme on that bird. I dont use tge safe on my F-18 but i can see the benifit of it!
Nice run, glad to see you do get a break from cross wind hurricanes, safe or not still the best reciever in the business and worth the extra money for the BNF hands down 🤩BB

sounds so real!
gret goin ryan

i havn't
Well done. Super impressed with this jet.
Thank you sir
God Bless The Blue Angels
If you don't Love Blue Angels
LEAVE YOUR KICKED OUT
Definitely buying one and my favorite color is blue

Great looking Jet loved the footage totally nailed it guys take care
Super flying, and as usely you explain so a novice like me anderstand.. I'm tell everyone I know abut this channel so they can se and learn...
That looks and sounds sooooo good!
making me want to go flying...
Thanks Tony, it's pretty sick

Awesome guys. Love the vid. My field has a short take off cement runway so I normally land on the grass. In your opinion would the F18 handle grass landings ok? Thanks!
That's a heck of a grin on your face. Looks like great fun. How strong is the spring in the mains? Do you see it working on bumps?
its not very stiff, but if it were then the aoa would be off even more
@@PilotRyanMedia Thank you.
Can you get into high alpha with safe on? Please try.
Thanks for the video
Another masterpiece from u guys🙏🙏👌
Nice video guys.... The only jet I have is the eFlite F-15 which I fly both on AS3X and Safe. Would the F-18 be a good second jet or would you recommend something else.
My first jet is the f-15 also and I’m buying this now. Seems like the perfect transition.
I'm so glad they came out with this livery, much better than the original. I may have to pull the trigger now... Question is, did they fix the elevator issue?
Both of those are the selling points for me.. I was trying to find a nice shot of the Elevator to see if the issue was corrected on this version.
What was the issue again??
@@MultiSkyman1 the elevators have an issue with the slot on the elevator horn coming off of the servo arm under high loading. There are videos of it out there. Gooniac33 has a fix of putting a ball joint on the servo arm.
@@barrycampbell6117 Thanks. I actually know Gooniac33! (small world)
Barry Campbell are you sure it was the Eflite F18? I know the freewing version had that problem.
I'm so happy eflite puts safe options on all there planes now. There are a few planes I would have never purchased if it wasn't for safe. Iike my v900, without safe I know I would've lost orientation a long time ago and it would be junk by now. But anyway that is one awesome jet
What they came out with another one no way!!!!
Nice Job Ryan
I hope E-Flite does this with the F-4. I would buy another if they released it in Blue Angels livery.
Would be cool to see some flights on smaller batteries, I have a couple 4000 SMART batteries I'll be flying this with when it arrives. I'll take as many videos as you have on this plane since I ordered one too! 😉
Very nice trim scheme
How does it do on grass take offs?
I made a HSD T-33 Blue Angel color scheme, available on the KnifeEdge swaps page.
Ryan my left elevator has a little lateral play in it. Right side is good. Did you have any play in yours, curious.
Maybe use a washer to take up the slop
Nice work.
Mine is still in the box😅
I guess it's time to rock it.
I like car, truck motor cycle "s but I love air craft!,,,

@@Sabotage_Labs What is the name of the app. Can you share the link? Thanks :)
@@mr_mysterious_6174 you can find the programming cable on Amazon.😁
You can also mix the safe switch to rates so in safe mode rates are 100% on ailerons and 60% when the switch is set to off. That way you don’t need to think about it.
Does this still come with the same 2000kv motor as the last release? Looks like it
Pilot Ryan are those landing gear metal? And great flite by the way awsome.
Yes they are. Thanks!
Hey Ryan. Do those wheels look big enough to hand short cut and rolled grass airstrips?
If it’s well manicured, yes
There's a number 7 on the tail of the blue angel
Hi Ryan, will this plane take off when in SAFE mode all on its own by just pushing the throttle stick forward. Thanks
Good question, not sure. If it were me I’d still want take off flaps and full rate elevator and be prepared to still give back pressure to rotate
I watches this video and old one (gray eflite f-18). In both videos your using a 5000. However in the other video it barely gets off at the end of runway and first takeoff maybe some in grass. This video it lifts at 2/3 maybe slightly earlier. What changed to make a difference?
In this flight I knew to move the battery back and also to use half flaps
@@PilotRyanMedia Copy! Thanks bro.Looks like it gets off ground quick...
Very nice 💓💓
That’s awesome
I love the Blue Angels awesome colors
Good job man!
IT doesn't even sound like an EDF. That's what blows my mind.
Sweet flight awesome looking jet. The only thing is this is a 30C jet with an 80 m m EDF. The FMS is 70 mm and I fly for almost 5 minutes. So all I have is 4000 and 3300 batteries 60c. You think it would be bad to fly it with these batteries?
4000 are fine flies better actually, you just have to mind your flight time
@@PilotRyanMedia cuz the Box recommends 30 C. My batteries are 60 C thanks Ryan can't wait for the podcast tonight
You’ll be fine. That just means 30c or above. If your batts are below 30c that’s when there is a problem. Tonites the nite. See you there
Ya know. I catch myself sayin "Full Throttle Johnny" and "Full Flap Regalia".
ha ha that is awesome
@@PilotRyanMedia It is.
Wouldn't 9 blade be more efficient?
Pilot 👨✈️ Ryan. I’m waiting till e flite get this blue angels f 18 in stock before I order, I read the reviews on the grey version “which is the same jet”. I heard some good and negative reviews and being underpowered. But I think they’re in experience. What do you think about it since you flown it? your decision would be my deciding factor. Great flying
You ve seen the vids. I do t think it’s underpowered. I also think that I wouldn’t like to fly it on anything heavier than 5000 packs. Let me know
Hey what transmitter did you use for this blue angel?
That's the the jet I Love!! man it looks good! I feel the same, it a tool switch it and use it !!
I like that how much is it what's the cost on that could I order that from you
469ish, link in the video description
On paper it looks like a lazy release.
In the air it looks so good!
Move the battery forward and the tail won't wash out as much in tight turns. It's a little tougher at takeoff but flying is much better imo
Heck yeah 👍
This is unequivocally next in my list. Question, are far as stability how would you compare this E-flite 80mm F-18 with the Freewing F-4D Phantom II High Performance 90mm? I think the new versions now have the same 4000g (8.8) thrust

I’d go with the info related to the blue angel since it’s the newest
What a sweet sound. She sounds like a turbine.
Nice 'n beautiful. AirHammer out!!

Can you do another su30 or f18 flight
Awesome
