F84 and others to come will follow the same care in the development.
I really wish you guys would release one model at a time and ensure that the planes are reliable once they get into the hands of customers, not just reps. I want to see more rigorous testing before I'm putting my money into a plane by this manufacturer. The flight videos of the F-100 being flown gingerly by a customer are not enough. Those videos should be coming from the manufacturer. It's no longer enough to get some RCU regulars to sing your praises. We've seen that movie before. With all that said, I do wish you the best of luck.
