Something the size of the new F100 or bigger would great! Cant wait after seeing the F100 for Lewis, im excited
No turkey feathers on this bird

I'd make the dome an optional feature. What about a folding wing option? That would be sweet!

Also, found this report with videos of a A6E 1/5 scale version online...

Mibo now owns those molds; and after initially saying they were going to offer a kit, I've heard they decided not to.

I hope you make it removable, the version I was going to do doesnt have have it. That being said im just once person but something else to think about is when transporting it some people may run into a stand issues. Either way im happy I personally would like it to be removable, plus when handling it somebody may grab it by mistake and damage it.

I was hoping mibo was going to kit this but they backed out, wish I could have got my hands on the one in those pictures.

Been waiting for an A-6 to hit the market for a long time. Glad Xtreme ARF decided to give it a go. Looking forward to more pictures and updates on this one.

I quite don't understand, what do you mean when you say removable?

He means make it optional so you can make either an "A" model, "B" and so on or an "E" model. THe "E" models had the TRAM turret under the nose, previous models did not.

Thanks Ian for the info, Fender has a point here, if we do as you suggest we will have 2 models of the same A6 to offer, we will consider.

Well you would have upwards of 4 models actually. If you make all the external upgrades option then you could make an A, B, C, or E model.

I am thinking here in do the Turret operational so it would be cool to accommodate inside a go-pro camera to make video of several angles in flight. This would be an option.

Barry with kingtech did something very similar to this on his F-14.

I agree on making the TRAM model optional.

I see that the website shows these to be custom built for each customer. Is this going to be a low production kit? Will they be shipped to the US or will we have to pay international shipping straight from china on each kit? Any news on the single/ twin option?
