You guy's might get tired of me bringing this up, but, hey I'm going to do it anyway because I believe it is important for our hobby.

These new designs everyone are so excited about are still in the design stage, which means no flight testing yet. The F-100 was a design purchased from Fei Bao which had already been flight tested. The F-84 and A-6 will be original designs. I am asking everyone to be patient. Allow them time to adequately, rigorously flight test these models and provide video of multiple flights before plunking your money down. Over the next few months we will begin to get a true reference of the quality and flight performance of their production F-100's, as more of them get into the hands of everyday pilots. Production models can sometimes not live up to the expectations or quality of the one off prototype. Sometimes they exceed them. Let's allow time to find out which one occurs in this instance.

David a very valid point and one Xtreme are in complete agreement with.

The Vixen, the F84 and the A6 will be flown and tested, video'd and adjusted/modified if needed before final production is started.

Personally I am very involved in the F84 project and it will be done right, I don't as a rule work with anyone who does not meet my high standards.

Well said David and Marc. I think it's great that you are attached to these projects Marc, I'm very confident the planes will be done right.

Can't wait to see the Intruder!

Regarding the pipes on the A-6, depending where the engines are mounted, the pipes are not just a straight shot out, they have to bend and twist to the outlet. I think have a basic drawing somewhere showing the initial pipe drawing when I was having the Jet-Mart one built. That was with single pipes, so I think a bifurcated pipe will be very difficult.

You are thinking of Mike Selby. MIBO abandoned the project last I heard.

David we do not know yet, after the plug done I will tell, we will work to make two versions but I am still not sure for a single due to the intakes and exhaust positions.

WOW im am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited about this one! Can I get on the list now? I think this will be a great twin project, it would be real easy to design one to not need pipes just have the turbines mounted at the turkey feathers.
<----------Already got my scheme LOL And a really nice tank/ordnance set would be this--------->

Something the size of the new F100 or bigger would great! Cant wait after seeing the F100 for Lewis, im excited
