Hey Gordon,

well....since he did help assemble it he will get to fuel it, start it and shut it down. I might even let him buff the wax on the bird. LOL

As far as flying, I think an AV8TR will fit the bill nicely. The plane looks like a lot of fun to buid. However, the 54 is going in my
T-38 initially and possibly the F-16 (later). Don't see him tossing the White Mouse around anytime soon.

I haven't decided if I want the extra thrust ( and weight ) of the Merk in my F-16. Hopefully, I'll get some good feedback on BVs F-16 from the folks @ Superman.

when are ya' coming down again? Gotta get you some sim time.

take care,

Buck
