Spectacular!

I have one of these with twin P-70's. I would be glad to share my setup info if you need it (in 100 hours or so . I've got 4 shakedown flights on it and it flies well. Ali Machinchy flew it at Best in the West here in California. I will be flying it soon myself. It's so gorgeous I just want to make sure everything is perfect and reliable.

Seemed to fly pretty well with the P-70's, P-100's will really light it up. Too much power? .. Silly statement, I guess there is no such thing as too much power!

Last I heard it was to update it to the newer epoxy glass fuselages and for turbine use. from what I recall though, this kit was very expensive ($6k for the kit with all options)
