F/A-18C Red Viper EDF R/C Jet Airframe by Exceed RC

www.nitroplanes.com From rcredbaron “I bought the bare airframe to experiment with its durability to hold up against more powerful upgrades. And it wowed me for sure. I put an Eflite BL15 motor with a Delta V DF unit in it. That Plane now has over 2 1/2 pounds of thrust. About 10 to 12 ounces more thrust than stock. I also put digital MG servos in it. So they respond Super Quick. I had to put EXPO in the ailerons and elevators to slow down movement around center stick as it was just too responsive and at HIGH speed, thats dangerous. This upgrade shows that the Bare Airframe can Handle a SUPER UPGRADE.”
