Any Jet that you can rip a wing off and still bring it home is my kind of jet . All these inputs are much needed and appreciated. From my research it seems an F15 lightly built without the scale amenities (can I have at least a lightweight pilot bust please). is not a crazy idea. I know it has a narrow track gear ( My 90mm F15,16 and 105MM F16 are the same). Its wing loading with its additional lifting body (I know not really a lifting body) higher drag, easy turbine access, taileron simplicity, option for flaps,SB, shim the gear. Not to mention the Skymaster (not that I am partial to any brand) version comes with their highly regarded gear already installed so I wont screw that up, plus the price point is WAY better than anything else I have seen. Also, do you guys know if the Turbinator ARF is still actually available, that might be a nice intro that the local jet guys could help me with while I build the Eagle and I could probably eventually fly it at my home field, or is that a waste of time and money. I have built and flown many warbirds and larger edf jets but obviously no RC models with Turbines or the associated lag but am infinitely familiar with turbine operation. Just trying to get a realistic observation and I assure you I take no offense to any comments.
