Geez. My Falcon 120 was like $30 from west coast to east coast. Still a great deal though...was just shocked to see such a high shipping cost.

Hello to all again just a few updates, yes shipping is $75 i do not know what size the falcon box is or who they use for shipping or what they are doing with there products. We have contacted FedEx and they are giving us the best rate for a flat rate price to ship this box. I am doing my best to keep the price for you guys as cheap as possible.

As for Kero start for the P60 it is available and you can contact me directly for details. I am contacting everybody who is on my list, I understand that some of you have not gotten calls yet but thats because I am going down the list and it is 200 deep Im only up to 55

I would like to give a big thanks to Spring Air products on a great shop on the design of the Trailing links struts and brakes they have done a great job and they work great.

I went to see it today fly. Spoke to Henry and looked at the jet. He called me tuesday night and I talked to him today.
I decided to pass on it so if anyone wants my spot go for it. I am going to get something else, bigger. Anyhow, excellent quality and it flew fantastic.

I ordered one today with a P60. Is this going to have any trouble taking of grass fields. My Falcon 120 had 17lbs of thrust so it was a non issue. A bunch of guys at my field have had some jetjoe type turbines that just run up and down the field and never take off. Just want to make sure a 13lb thrust turbine is going to be ok on an 18lb plane.

Thanks!

If anyone wants a little more info on who we're sending all our money to, check out the last page of the Jan. 11 issue of Electric Flight ( formerly Backyard Flyer ). Henry, you're suppose to wear shorts at Oshkosh. Looking forward to getting the new jet.

Actually yes we do have a new video it is being edited and we should have it up soon.

******I have an announcement to make due to the number of people taking part in our JetCat special we have sold out on all Jet Cat P60 in our inventory and in Jet Cat USA's as well. To give an opportunity for people who still have not purchased a Tornado, we are now offering the Jet Central Super Bee II kero start. If you purchase a Bee II Kero Start or Rabbit we will give you a Tornado at 1/2 price. For this special I have instructed our factory to make an additional 20 airplanesfor those who might want to take part in this offer. Thank You for your time*******
