I think i may have to get one of these for myself some time next year. I have just never seen a better flying sport jet in this size.

With all-scale wrapping up on any custom work, I'm moving most 3d work over here by the way...

Thanks, Joe!

V, your cockpits are sweet. Looks like a must have for my next scale project.

Dub,

We've never met, but I wish you the best of luck with it. The plane is gorgeous. Hope to see it for real someday or maybe some video!

Hey Dantley, where's the PowerBox Royal SRS with the Igyro? Did you just change your mind about using that unit or did some issue factor into not using it?

I'm going put one of those PowerBox SRS's in my Shockwave and was interested in hearing your thoughts and experience with that unit, especially after you get to fly the thing?

The PowerBox Royal SRS/iGyro found a new home in my CARF J-10.

The Shockwave has a Smart-Fly EQ10 and Cortex gyro.

Now, that pilot's flight suit and helmet are cool looking. Nice!

Thanks!

Scott, that pilot looks great. Is it bigger than the Blue Box Pilots?

Got to pick mine up from the builder about ten days ago and it's really something. Those Tailored Pilots are just unreal and well worth the price. Thanks to Scott, Pablo and the Elite Aerosports crew for putting up with all my questions and little glitches.

Unfortunately, I won't get to fly mine for several months as it's still wet, cold and occasionally snowing here but I'm really looking forward to flying.

Hmmm... wouldn't 'ya know it? lol

My Avanti with the VT is going to have to suffice for now.

I don't know about those red sidewalls on the mains Scott, I had some TigerPaw tires with the red stripe sidewalls on a 1968 Olds 442, but that was a LONG time ago. Keep after Mike, he just sold an F-14 so he'll need a replacement model....
