I've followed Peter's threads for a long time now and can honestly say I am always impressed with the content!
This project is no exception so please Peter keep it coming so we can all learn from the master!😎👍🏼
I was hoping to see you at JetPower but I'm not sure if I can make at the moment!

Hello Guy's, here are some pictures of the XL. It is now ready for molding at Paritech and for info ask Jetisfaction about the kit.
It is even more upgraded after it left my workplace and I like it very much.

Peter, very nice job I wanted to build one and wished I would have seen your thread before I cut up a jet legend F-16. I didn't think anyone would ever do a kit of the XL as there were only 2 versions built a single and double seat. With only 2 color schemes to choose form in each version I had given up hope a kit would ever come out. You have given me inspiration to get mine done and flying thanks for posting, I think it will be a great flying jet!!

Back in the day, Ivan Munninghof modified a Byron F-16 to the XL,. flew fantastic with all the added wing area.and that raspy 91 and byron fan. the plans were in flying models magazine.

This looks beautiful! look forward to the next steps with it.

Is it possible the plug and/or molds were sold to global Aerojet? It appears they’re same scale - 1/6…
