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
unit and remove. Install six AA 1.5-V alkaline
batteries (not included). Be careful to align the
positive (+) and negative (-) polarities with
the corresponding markings inside the battery
compartment as shown.
3. Reinstall the battery compartment door and
retighten the hold down screw.
IMPORTANT TIP: TURN YOUR CONTROLLER
ON TO ENSURE THAT THE BATTERIES ARE
INSTALLED PROPERLY. THE RED LED LIGHT

After each flight, store the jet in the package to
prevent damage.

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.
