Pricing will be 7999 euro including travel case, scale landing gear, and a standard military paint scheme.
The recommended powerplant package is 2 - 200 size turbines, but during initial testing, one of the engines flameout
and we didn't know until it landed. So it possible to fly on a single 200 but not recommended.
The project is currently in Germany, going thru certifications. After cleared, atleast a month of test flying is scheduled
to work out any operational issues before it gets to the customer hands. Current estimates, it should be ready for
full production first part of 2015.
Not to thead hijack but
..
The Swift Sparrow (
) 
is in prototype production.
3 will be sent out for test flights in a couple weeks. Should be ready for
full production early Dec..
The HIMAT (extreme 3D flight)
is in final prototype production
and should start test flights late Nov..
2 more models in cnc drawings / cutting stages..
The small Aurora ( Nova ) and a large scale bird..
I'll keep everyone posted on the progress..

2 x P160 would be ok! A flameout of one of the 200s wasn't rely noticeable. Based upon that, I would say a flameout on one of the 160s would certainly be noticeable but not a danger. I reckon you'd get it back comfortably.
It it wasn't on my list but that price means it has just sneaked into view

I was thinking my 1:4 scale it's a big jet only 10'x10'

It's shaping up to have a $9,975 price tag, that includes the scale landing gear and custom travel box..
That price might change depending on if any engineering changes is needed due to flight test issues.
As the prototype have flown before, we don't anticipate any engineering problems, but I have to include a disclaimer just in case.
