Default anyone flying a avonds rafale??

Torsten, et al...

The Tomcat won't be out until late next year. The kit is a total rework, making it suitable for turbine power. This includes beefing up of the landing gear, the fuse structure, the spar system, and carbon reinforcement of both fuse and flight surfaces. Also, the hardware is being redesigned as well. Main reason for delay: When the update of this kit began, it was being updated to make it easier to build. Halfway through that process, the 'turbine thing' happened, and Yellow realized that they'd be wasting their time (and about $100,000) if they didn't produce the kit for turbine power. As far as the price goes, they really don't have any idea, but, as usual, it will be low for what you'll get. As the show date approaches, I'll have more info. Thanks, and best regards

Vielen Dank, und Gruesse von Kalifornien!
