Santos,
I took this of the Spiderjets website at
www.spiderjets.be today. I must say that I am impressed with your description of your flight experience with your F-16. Especially because YOU HAVE NOT FLOWN YOUR JET. Your SimJet is in for repair and the plane was not finished a week ago. But still you managed to do this impressive test flight in July??????. Without an engine and only 80% finished. You must be a better builder/pilot that I thought

"Hello Nicolas,
I must say that this jet is the most awesome thing I have ever flown!!!!!! YEAAAHHH BABY!!!!! I can only say that this jet calmly started down the field until I gave it full stick. Immediately it became airborne in less than 150 Ft with the 22lb simjet this thing could have went vertical easily at a little over half throttle but I contained myself being the first flight. It flew most graciously with nearly no trim at all the C.G. was set at 355mm I found it to be perfect I went around a few times and decided to punch it on the straight away all I can say is SCARY!!!!!! It went by like a bullet I pulled up to bleed off speed and I nearly pissed on myself because it almost disappeared. I love it when it came time to land I just throttled back maintaining a little speed and level nose just before touch down I cut the throttle to idle it automatically flared and the rest was sweeeet awesome kit SIR you have a jewel keep up the good work
