I really like the design you have. And as others have said I agree that it is nice to see a kit being built in the jet forums.

I only have one concern and its even really a concern. But why the side lights? It is not a scale jet and its main design is to be a training jet. A training jet in my opinion is as simple and light as possible so the "new" jet pilot has the least amount of things to worry about. Like I said, its my opinion and it probably doesnt mean much. But if I was starting off in jets I would want something very light and simplistic.

But other than that I love the build so far.

thank you for your support , the side lamp, flash and position light are made because they provide more for flight visibility.
Highly visible in gray sky.

It weighs 3.3 kg, it should reach 8kg max.
1.4 kg for the landing.
1 kg of batteries and electronics.
500 grams of servos.
1.2 kg of reactor & tank.
500 grams for finishing.

While watching your video, I heard a faint buzzing sound or flutter. It was very noticeable at 1:38 on the video and none at 2:44 on the video. Also at 3:44 on the video. Please look it over real close. It would be a shame to loose such a great flying aircraft.

Hey
I'm from Poland, I like the project very much. I have my 60W CO2 laser and I would like to cut the model on my machine.
Is a project available in CAD?
