RE: New Avonds Jets
I had a chance to talk with Philipe about his new F-15 and watch the airframe closely. Seems to be a very nice plane. All with panel lines etc. It comes complete with double walled pipe and composit conformal fuel cells. Very nice. As we talked about weight, Philipe took the airframe and put it into my hands, seems to be really light. He talks about 10,5kg ready to fly (dry). Engine setup should be 120, 160 would be overkill he said.
