The prototype was supposed to be in Germany last weekend, but a customs mess up meant it did not arrive. Its hoped to send it stateside now, so you guys should get to see it in the flesh in the next month. The proportions are quite different to the pictures.
There are so many neat features designed in.

Yes. The description mentions several interesting features. These features are what primarily peaked my interest. Seems like comp arf is trying to address some common issues which is cool.... assuming they work. Plane is probably too big for my home field but still looks interesting. Also it just good to see a new comp arf sport jet. Lots of other sport jets have hit the market as of late.

It has everything going for it. Breaks down to fit normal cars and storage areas. Its a big model, but will operate from 300' grass strips, it has big flaps and trailing link gear by Electron.

Has it flown yet? Why no video?

Dave Wilshere

Yes, no time on test flights at factory. People can video it if it's flown at TopGun or after at JN

Are these painted outside the mold eliminating the seams?

Dave Wilshere

CARF have for several years done both! They are painted in the mould to be light, but schemes that allow, it the seams are filled and painted over outside the mould.

Looks like an interesting performer, can't wait to see it at the shows this year!
