Hi Shawn

Pylons and ordnance are going to be priced separately from the kit. These parts are just time consuming , especially if i do them molded. The tank above is a rocket tube and nose cones. They are nice and stout but i will be able to produce them lighter if i make a mold. My thoughts are still up in the air on how i want to do all the rest of the ordnance. I was thinking rocket tubes with vacuum formed nose cones which by far would be much cheaper to produce but the quality would be nicer if i mold them. You guys should give me some feedback on this. What would you rather have, quality or a quick fix that is cheaper?

As far as the inlets, Tams duct designer, Barry , has already started on the molds for the reducer. These guys are on it. Tam was on the phone 15 minutes after i got to his shop, working on getting retracts and other things organized for it. You may want to keep in mind that he will be coming out with a 5" 11 blade fan very soon. I will also be dropping my servo mounts for his , they will add to the weight savings on the A10 and are very simple to use. I had looked all over for servo mounts like these and now i have found them. Tam will also be setting up a package that will go with the A10.

Thanks
