Boomerang1 The picture of the DV8R that you show is my jet. The plane is FLAWLESS in EVERYTHING it does! The plane performs with the best! Yes it is differet with the bent nose, to me it looks like a SU-27. The ONE thing that is CRUCIAL on this plane is the wing! YOU must balance the wing! This is the number one thing on the plane. It is GREAT at any speed! I had a P80 on mine and it was great! All my servos are hidden inside the plane, very clean!! Robart still sells the retracts for this plane also! hope this helps This is it now, recovered Boomerang, don't take this as a bad remark to you..... Gerry
