Hello MR DJ,
I do not have an engine for the Rafale yet, I will either go with PST600R, P60, Ram500 or Jet Central Bee. As for the F-14 goes, that is one of my favortie planes. I will one of these days order the Avond plans and build it up. There is this guy in Korea that built a couple of them, it is all hardwood and balsa covered with fiberglass cloth. It is an impressive bird. I thought Yellow had been selling the tomcat, I remember way back when they were advertising for it. There was one on RCU for sale a while ago.
I have not seen anyhting about F-14 from Skymaster, their website des not show anything about the F-14.
I got a Skymaster F-18E superhornet in a trade couple of weeks ago and will be building that later, it is huge....
Regards,
Mike
Kool Beans, Mike…
YA does sell the F-14 as a DF—no one is buying it, but they have and are designing a turbine version—guaranteed to be a knockout. I have their F-15 ARF—awesome… Right now they are experimenting with different wings—they take their time to produce quality birds. Their just released F-22 was first flown by them in either 98 or 96—Charles, the owner told this to me via phone a month ago, and he’s been perfecting it ever since. So he’s had that for 10+ years and just now released it tells me he’s into quality—I love my F-15.
So anyways, he said it will be another year or longer before he releases it—no problem for me since I buy and take over a year to take out of the freakin’ box anyway…[&:]
In Feb 08 AMA or MAN, Anton of Skymaster is standing next the fuse of his F-14—didn’t say when it will be released but it looks sweet.
You’re a much better man than me to build a kit of one—that’s waaaay too much work—way too much work for me…
Like Mike Denilin above, I too will get that F-18 and then I’m freakin’ done…
