Kevin,

The schedule was end of November/beginning of December they are under the schedule, the F100s are in factory installation now, then they go to surface preparation and then paint, I will see if I can get some photos and post here so everybody can follow.

Hi Kevin, We set the timer for 8 min and we have never been into the second fuel tank yet! I would have no problem flying it for 9 to 10 min flights.
Thank you Billy D

Hey Wagner
Maybe you could get the factory to stage a photo like the one below once they get all of them built up, that would look cool.

Billy, Do you anticipate having these in stock by the first of the year? Will the Thunderbirds scheme be a special order scheme or one that will be readily available?

Plane looks awesome indeed.

What hinge method is used on the ailerons, flaps and rudder - tabs with a wire going thru or Robart style?
I ask because I don't see tabs sticking out and obviously can't tell if there are blocks on the inside of the fixed trailing edges.

HI Scott, They have tabs with a wire going thru. If you look at the ends of the wing tips you can see them. I will see if I have a pic.
Thanks Billy D

Scott,

This is the pin hinge system used on all surfaces of the F100s.
