Thanks Again

To my knowledge the flights have been good. The kits are in production now so you will be seeing them out flying after the new year.
I will have strut length ant tire Dimms this week. Completely gutting the shop for more space and will get back to getting the kit out for measurements and photos. Sorry for the delay guys. These jets are massive and taking up more room than I thought. Lol

Fly can u answer questions for all skymaster stuff? I guess I made Anton mad some how, I have asked a few basic questions on the F-14 thread and the skymaster facebook page and he will not answer me. I know I dont own one yet but I am going to order eventually.

Got an email from John and he stated the Carbon Bypass is not needed and now I see it removed from the accessory list.
