My club mate did not recognize that it has gasoline engine. Most of them did not believe it is powered with a gas engine. I am not excellent pilot in F3A, but I love this Vanquish, and I will buy one more Vanquish for back-up.

Thanks Matt

Outstanding effort and result Choihjin. I wish you lots of success with the model.

Just one word of caution, the landing gear block has been somewhat of a problem for a few people. But as long as you land of the runway, it should be fine....
