Hi Rick,

I wanted to come up and see you and the beast at J&C next Sunday... but my buddies want to go out ATV riding. Hopefully I'll get to see it at Mon-Valley one time this summer.

Rick, don't worry about off color comments from others, it's only jealousy at it's best. it looks good sitting there and congrats on all you have done with it. WE all hope to see many vids of this beast in the near future. Roy

I think the beast is awesome. I wish I had your building skills as I might attempt some scratch project. For now I just have guys build for me as I love to fly.

Congrats and please post flights!!!!!!!!!

Rick, AWESOME is an understatement ..... I love unique projects and you can't get much more unique than that. I love it, and it is quite an accomplishment. I hope I am fortunate enough to see it in person one day.

Hey Rick, Incredible model to say the least. Your skills are beyond those of mortal man. Anyways, I found it odd when they made you move it out of the "jet" category. Rumors flew that it wasn't a "real" jet? Is that true? I guess the P-80 in hte belly is for digesting food then.

Actuallythe judges explained that the rules were geared toward scale competition (mine had over 600 airbrushed scales) how scale can you get!!?? They felt that I would have a better chance in sportthey were really helping me out-they had to go through a lot to change things-nice of them!!! And yes -the P 80 just supplies fire for the mouththe fuse - really is just full of helium for lift and little electric fans in it's rear end for thrust

Very impressive work, congrats on the placement.

I guess you need to go out in the field and photograph the full scale one before next Toledo!

Hey Rick,
Saw your photo in Model aviation and what a great looking model. I would love to see it in flight. Any videos of it in flight??? Looked around and couldn't find them.
