Hi Anton:
Is it possible to show close up pictures of the underside of the wings, specifically the leading edge? Also can the leading edge be detached from the wing similar to the flaps?

Seems the overwhelming majority want the C version first Anton. How do we convince you??

Pete, some of us would like a D model. There is no doubt the C/D bodies fly the best but I really like the dual seat version. Not a fan of the twin seat super hornet, im noping they do a simple C/D mold and a E/F.
They Probably could use the same nose molds for both versions and it would cover all that people could ask for. I will buy one if they make a D version, I would like something you dont see all the time. I have been poking at Anton since the very first pictures released on facebook.

C or D model works for me as well. Mean and Lean instead of Mean and Had Too Many Potato Chips. Lol.

Dont get me wrong they all rock but I wont be buying an F version because I see them all over the place including the one I have. The ONLY really scale C version has been the Yellow Twin and I simply dont have the time to build a kit. I like the smaller C version from Skymaster but its not very scale which turns me off.

yes 1/6 scale, and i hope they do a proper scale gear these things look very nice with proper stance and width on them. I just hope they do a D model so i will have to own one

Probably a good idea. Didnt mean to pull it so off topic. But yes proper scale F18 gear would be amazing. Very tired of the "sorta kinda" scale gear that gets claimed as proper scale.

Chief Aircraft is getting a large Skymaster order due to arrive late October. Might want to check with Dana and see if he has any 1/5 scale 16's coming.

Absolutely fantastic Anton! Also very good quality video! Was really nice to see a 1080P clear as day video of the plane in action and she's impressive.
