Todd, you keep on teasing us
Peter,
My sincerest apologies! Dont mean to leave you guys hanging here
She'll go this weekend for sure [8D]
I think a P-80 will fly the gripen quite nicely. While the weight is in the 21/22 lb range it's a very clean airframe. I imagine it is going to be quite a speed deamon on the P-80 (note: my P-80 is the older 17lb engine not the newer 19lb). Give me three more days and i'll have all the info (and footage) you will need to decide which way to go
Todd
