Ah that sucks, it is a rear exhaust, I need a side exhaust. I hate those big tuned pipes otherwise I would jump on it. Thanks Tommy for looking for me.

Well after a minor repair I am set to go again.I had a dead stick landing at a bad location and out came the gear.Now I just wish the dam weather would cooperate.I still fly this plane as much as my turbines.

I have a how-to regarding the reinforcement of the landing gear mounts if you're interested.

Hey Guys I just picked up a couple of these kits. One had most of the parts still sealed in plastic bags. The other not so much. One thing I noticed on the unsealed kit was the tailarons. They are missing the little aluminum brackets that attach to the tubes. My question is am I really missing parts.... or are these 2 kits different versions that drive the tailerons differently?
Thanks
Tommy
Thanks

Tommy D, If it's a version 3, I may be able to help you out. I have a damaged fuselage from a version 3 that is beyond repair and just sitting in my basement for nostalgic purposes mostly. The elevators are intact and I can pull the aluminum brackets form it and ship it your way. Drop me a PM of what version you have and I will look into it.

I have both versions 2-3 and liked the second one because it was a little bigger the only problem is that the canopys cracked on it.Any Ideas on how to prevent that from happing?I was thinking of reinforcing around the canopy opening inside with carbon cloth?Also seeing if I could have some extra canopys made from the new one.

there were 2 options regarding the canopy. If I remember correctly, adding rubber "washers" made from tubing solved the problem. There's also the option to glass the inside & paint opaque.

FYI Guys,
Due to severe WTMPITB syndrome (way too many planes in the basement ), I need to sell my NIB V3 thunderbird scheme, w/NIB retracts, & NIB JETT 90L.
Drop me a PM for more info.
I cant belive this thread is still alive!

I'm supposed to have a kit on the way that i managed to locate. The only thing missing is the canopy assembly. Anyone have a spare canopy or one from a crash that i can re-manufacture?

I bought my version 3 prophet 3+ years ago. Even back then, getting new kits and parts has been nearly impossible. I would not hold out much hope for getting these planes back on the shelf.
