I think I did the gear doors on that one but can't remember.

Nice jet! It still has a twin brother somewhere in Fort Worth, which I'll probably buy once my kids make it to college (hint: they are 2 and 1 years old).

Status: online 		Evening everyone, I hope everyone is enjoying this rainy Friday like I am. I did not do much today since the anal side of my personality has really bothered me today, it seems the older i get the worse it gets. I guess after 25 years you get real picky about things and even more so when its this kind of money It kinda robbed my motivation so it was slow going, but i'm currently doing some little things and checking every little bolt and fit. Only things I will still need after tomorrow is a power system, batts and servo horns. I am trying to push the wife and kid out of town a few days early so I can burn the midnight oil with out feeling to guilty

If anyone that has this jet can take some pics of their front area and how all the wood parts lay in that would help speed things up when I get to that part. I am going use light balsa instead of the ply. I will add some small ply square pieces for the mounting of the heavy stuff, its just extra weight that serves no purpose. I still have not had a chance to weight everything I will do that once I have all my parts. so enjoy the show!

Status: online 		I did not want the typical paint inside, plus i wanted something that goes with the paint scheme. the pics make it look less cool but in person it looks nice and when I get the carbon decal and floor in it will look really good with the gray air tubing. May go a little lighter on the blue not sure, will have to wait till its all together

hehe calm down the the air valves, receiver, batteries et, will all be hard mounted with ply blocks. I will trace the layout in the floor and cut out for the hard mounted areas. Hard to explain it but its safe, strong and will save weight, you see

Status: online 		Actually, it has been slow going, due to one small miss understanding I lost a hole 24 hours of possible building. But never fear I will post a video explaining the hole thing, plus it's very informative Sunday will be a big day and in should get lots done. So I will get that video before bed.
