RE: Century Jet A-7 with PICS
I will give them a call on Monday and see if I can't get them coming. Frank, thanks for that info, I found it on the site as well, just hoping someone has some insight as to whether the P-70 will do fine or if I should install my 120, my F-86 is 31 pound wet with a P-70 and flies just fine, so kinda thinking this may be the same, also not sure if the 120 will fit in the bypass, I have the entire full ducting and pipe, which is far to heavy.
going to to replumb the gear this weekend and see if I can't get them working, there is a crazy amount of stuff going on with the gear.
I know there is at least one flying and hope he will chime in with some tips as to how she flys.

Ask for John at Century Jet. He has built and flown the A-7. He will be able to give you details on the setup he used and how it flies.

RE: Century Jet A-7 with PICS
I sent Johntg a PM, no response as of yet. got the gear to retract and deploy as they should. I have to replace all the airlines as the ones in the plane now are a very stretchy rubbery line and can be pulled off the nipple with little force. I have a Tamjets pipe from a FeiBao hawk that is the same length and sutiable for the 120 at a weight savings of 10 oz. hopefully the 120 fits within the bypass as this will make for a very clean install. would like to see some video of one of these flying, hope it flys as good as it looks.

RE: Century Jet A-7 with PICS
removed the tanks tonight and and started to layout component location. called Century yesterday and can get the pylons and adapt them to my wing. this turned out to be a early Century/Kranz kit. got some valuable info to get me started with the install.
