The Air Hogs ® F/A-18 Hornet™ is a revolutionary radio controlled jet that is a true backyard flyer. You can hand toss or
take off from the ground using the landing gear. The F/A-18 Hornet™ uses digital proportional control which provides
hobby like flight performance. Comes ready to fly – no assembly required.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the
battery door.
2. Slide the battery door towards the bottom of the

the corresponding markings inside the battery
compartment as shown.

retighten the hold down screw.

Your
F/A-18 Hornet™
jet has
preinstalled
rechargeable
batteries in the
jet's fuselage.
Because the
Controller's
AA batteries
are used
for 2 functions –
charging and
controlling, they
will need to be
replaced after
every 20 – 25
flights.
If the wings
on your jet get
damaged they
can be easily
repaired with
clear tape as
shown.
