Rex,

Glad to hear you got another F-18F. So did I! My original Diamondback is still flying, but showing the wear from the original issues with the gear etc, but the jet flies great, so I got one of the new, improved versions recently, in the AETE scheme. I'll assemble it over the winter and have it ready for spring flying. You will love the F-16. Just make sure it has the new gear upgrade and then only use manual valves like the BVM HiFlow for the retracts and you'll be good to go.

I also built a 1/5 AirWorld F-5 this summer. For what you get and have to do, compared to the FEJ, I'll happily work out the bugs on the FEJ rather than spend the bucks & go thru an Airworld build again!

I'll be flying all of my FEJ aircraft at Buttonwillow next week. F-15, F-16, F-18F & F-100 are all up and RTF, only a few bugs yet to work out on the F-15, but still looking forward to it. I'll try to get some video posted later.
