Dang it!!!
Not enough space, money or time!!! Lol
Im still figuring out how to get the big E Hornet!
The big F-4D is a must for me that's why I sold the one I had when I did.

Anton if your reading this PLEASE be sure this F-4 has the correct scale outline and proportions!
There something funny about the canopy and intakes on 1/7 version which I could see immediately so for what it's worth I hope the new 1/6 is improved in this area.

Looking forward to it!!

Cant wait, will be awesome. I am getting one of these birds. Had the 1/7.75 and it flew like a dream.

Have a great day.

Fellas,
Cool in concept but, are we considering the next level of UAV quality radio equipment to go with it? How many guys are really up to managing these "models"?
Not trying to harsh your buzz Andy. Just thinking about it since jet meets and models are getting larger and larger. Glad I'm not a CD.
I can't help think, there comes a point when we may as well build something we can actually climb into and fly. I'll wager owning a Cessna would be less involved. And less commitment.
