Airworld recently released their newest scale jet, the SAAB J-35 Draken. It looks really sinister, ugly, crude... Very Cold War era.... Yet were Mach 1+ jets, and with the double delta, very good flying. I had been looking for a scale jet project, and this rung the bell.
I'm not a fan of the scheme they have in their site, but the plane looks correct, and those that know Airworld... It will fly well.

Back Story
A few years ago, I started branching out from the all-consuming world of IMAC and aerobatic airplanes, and got into jets. My first jet was a 1/4.5 Hawk. It flew great and looked awesome in the air, but was limited on the fields I could fly at. I wanted something I could really just go fly the crap out of. Simple, low maintenance, and would do everything I could imagine, and do it well. That wound up being my 2.5m Futura... Love this plane. BUT, I didn't get into jets to fly sport jets... I fact I really am not much of a sport jet fan at all. Flying the Futura the last 2 years... I do like some of them.
That being said, I've had my eye on a few scale jets for some time. I almost pulled the trigger on an Airworld F100, F104... But held off, back and fourth for months. A good buddy of mine called all excited about the Airworld Draken... That was it. We pulled the trigger.
They are on order, and should be here mid this year.
