Sravan came over , to take a break from my Giles 202 with JBA 15 CC gas engine project, printed, made template, cut and made FA-18 Super Hornet from Tomhe Plans (http://rc.tomhe.net/fa-18) , the idea to make one was mooted by Sandy (Sundaram Velar)
all this was 3 hr effort, two simultaneous cuttings, self & Sravan.

Thanks Ashok ,
how you got it shipped from Bangalore ? Foam is hard to transport even within city!!
Great looking build, indecently even Ashok brought a FA-18 hornet made of yellow coro.
indecently or incidentally ???
Now I owe an FA-18 Super Hornet to Gusty :P 8-) :giggle:

The FA-18 which i brought that day was built with foam not with yellow coro :)
That sheet which m holding in my hands is my F/A -18. Will make it in Dec. Gusty sir did u maiden urs?. Waiting for review and video.

Great build :thumbsup:
Sir what type of foam you have used to build this, and where we can get ? at what price.
Do u have plans for it.
Foams are from ashok NG (foamybuilder) from this forum, ask him for the price, approx 100 rs a sheet i think (I have a huge consignment of foams)
