Hi Guys,

Good morning China! I am rested and ready to head back home to California with my Christmas gift. I need a bigger Christmas tree to tug all the big boxes under. Can't tell you my gift list 'cause my wife is going to shoot me.

Their development status,

1. Rafael - test flown the prototypes, now they are adding panel lines and working out all the bugs. So I suggest that we wait until they got their X2 or X3 debugged. I will put my Wren 44 Gold on that little bird. P60 will give more raw power

2. AT3 - Same stage as Rafael.

3. F15 - There are not a lot of panel lines on this production version, but the paint quality and glass work are well done.

4. Other planes - Not sure, it's at least 6 months away. They still need to focus on the F16, F15 production first.

5. Shipping cost - I will find out if it would be cheaper to ship from my companies in China. We have a UPS regional base here, so there might be an advantage. Will find out.

Zivo - You will get 2 instead of 4 'cause I need to take back 2 F15s too. Thanks for the Tiger idea.

My concern is that they are relatively new and we should all give them time to work out all the bugs first before we place big orders on them. F16 is the safest bet for now. They still need to worry about many things - the labor shortage, the management, quality assurance etc. and of course the shipping cost.
