Hi.
I am looking for another winter project and am considering this jet.
I saw this kit at Heart of Ohio. It looked pretty good. The intakes make an almost 90 degree bend in order to get to the Turbine which looks like it needs to be mounted very far forward (for C.G. reasons?). The rest of the jet looked nice. I did not get a look at the gear since it was retracted. My only other concern would be the small fuel tank and no other space to put an additional tank. It looks like you need at least a 120 in this bird. I would put a Titan in it (too much power yes but only a few dollars more than the 120 when buying a new engine). Has anyone flown one? I would like to hear some feedback before taking the plunge.
Dom
HI Dom,

Thank you for visiting us on Heart of Ohio Jet event, I'm sorry that the LG was not opened, I'll place some F-9F landing gear.
