Default A10 Warthog and Lear Jet

I saw an A10 flying last weekend that was an amazing flyer and looked very scale. The model is being sold by Wowplanes at http://www.wowplanes.com

They also have a Lear Jet that was equally impressive. I have been looking for larger size jets and I am going to get one of each of these.

Well then, I suppose that it is super convenient that you are both located in Merritt Island, Florida.

Does not state type of construction or if a ARF or what.
Replacement fuse is a foam core and Balsa sheeting. + parts of ply.

Not sure about this one.

Its in between and ARF and a Kit. It has CNC cut foam cores for all flying surfaces and even the fuselage. They supply balsa sheeting that you apply very easily with M77 spray adhesive. When finished it is completely balsa covered, which makes it very strong, ding proof, yet very light. With some light sanding it looks as smooth as any fully sheeted balsa plane that the pros fly. The great thing is there is no fragile balsa frame that takes hours to build and seconds to smash to bits. You cover with heat shrink and it looks A. You can paint it and looks A+ class.

Airman do you mind if I ask you if you are in any way affiliated with this company? Family friend, designer, beta tester, or whatever?

No I don't mind at all. As I mentioned earlier I live in the same town. I guess that makes me their neighbor.

Hi,

People don't mind other people advocating and repping for companies, they just expect a little honesty about it. The above is pure ad copy, and those of us who've been here a while know it when we read it.

I am sorry you arrived at such an unwise conclusion. Kindly take a wisdom pill and get over it.

Wow.

Not really the wisest stance to take for someone trying to drum up interest in a product. Conspicuous shilling followed by insults? Not exactly a recipe for success if you ask me....

Ya, they are losing sales before they even sold the first one......

I was kind enough to inform others over at RCG that were looking at these planes about these clowns.

Listen folks, I am not related to Wowplanes.com
There is another user id called airman55 which is related to them, and may be the reason for this confusion. My id is airman5 not 55.
I think they have some very interesting models, so I had mentioned them. So please lets drop this subject.
