RE: BulletProof Models J1N1-S Gekko (Irving) Prototype
ANCIENT CHINESE PROVERB: "Always make your words soft and sweet because you never know when you may have to EAT THEM".
Of course that would be assumimg you have enough moxy left in you to fly one more round of combat to cleanse the pallette prior to dining ala verbatim, yumm, yumm! Bon appetit...

That is really cool, we were just talking last weekend about your old twin mustangs. Are these a little more foam and glass than the old Balsa stangs?
I had a notion to built a twin for limited B just to be different and use up the old 15s I have left over. Would be fun to play around with since Im always looking to add weight to them anyway.
Nice work.

Hey Sean,
No fiberglass in this baby, it's just blue foam and bidi covered with low temp iron on. Too bad you guys don't fly some scale up there, it really is a gas. Like SSC or Lim B with style. I may return to the twin mustang when time permits. Last prototype I did of that was also blue foam but came in at 5 pounds, a full pound overwieght and it felt like it in the air. This one built right at 4 pounds, perfect. Flies nice, plan to build more. Next model on my drawing board; Spitfire Mk XVI
