Pete, I will be finished with all but the retracts and turbine installation by tonight. I am waiting on the engine which is on the way, and will probably order the retracts, wheels , and brakes next week from Great Northern Hobby in Canada.
You should check him out next time you need something. Their prices are great. I met Ed at Florida Jets with his partner in the business I think. They are very nice and after shopping around a little he helped me save about $100.00 on the package deal.
I have one of the Simjet 8000 kits on the way for the Kangaroo which should ship out next week sometime.
We made reservations to go to the Mid-Atlantic Jet Fly in May. Didn't know if that was one you guys would attend or not. It's not quite as far as Florida was for us, around 10 hours I think.
I will send a picture of the Kangaroo as soon as I finish it up. First flight is still a little way off, in a month or so. The weather will be changing by then and I will have both the F-86 and Kangaroo finished and ready to fly. Thanks for all the help, Gary
