Hi Sailfish,
the navy Trainer scheme is on the plans. An uncovered version could be ordered but you would have to prepay prior to the placement of the factory order. There would be about a 4 month wait for the product if ordered that way.

I can always be reached on my cell phone if you'd like to discuss. (781) 254-6351

Kindly,

Larry

Sure would be nice to see some new colour scheme for the Sprint, like the Élan red, white and blue sport colours. Love those colours.

I think we can all agree on that.

As a follow up I couldn't wait until sometime in Sept so based on some research I ordered a CARF Flash canopy to try. It fit fairly well but backwards. I used the "step" in the moulded part to wrap over the front lip a bit. Now going to paint the inside with Tamiya "Lame Flake" backed with black.

Don,
Great take on the "chisol" glue- it's probably better than the cream cheese used on other jets.
Rgds,

Not really ! I would class this as very irresponsible flying ! Note at 1:56 time ( and 6:56 and 8:56) in close proximity to full size passenger jet plus flying on other side of the tree line ; out of sight at times........ This is obviously much too close in proximity of a commercial airport and near the arrival flight path. This is what gives our hobby a bad name.
