Mate,

Fantastic, keep the comments coming. I am seriously considering the purchase of one of these and would like to know as much about the flying characteristics as possible before I commit.

If anyone has flown the F-86 with the 'new' tank set-up it will be great to get some feedback.

I have noticed the one flown at JetPower also sat negative on the runway, but the take-off seems fine, maybe the owner can let us know what cg and tank configuration he has.

One thing that looks terrible, also on the smaller one, is the incidence of the drop tanks to the wing incidence. I don't recall any of the BVM ones ever being so pronounced. The plane looks like it is flying tail-down.

Thanks for your comments.
