Keep in mind this kit is almost 70Kgs (150lbs) so you will require lots of approvals and certifications to fly and you will need a crew of probably 4 people to help you setup at the airport.

Yes, also the new senate version of the uSAS bill further re-enforces the 400 celing, and now also a FAA license test for anything over 250 grams.
Ama may need to make LTMA3 for this.

Yeah, it is a lot to think about & probably not worth it. If I ever did one, it would be more of a novelty item than a jet that really got much flight time, but there is a lot against doing a project like this. I bet on top of the price would be massive shipping cost as well

This aircraft is not practical. I don't know the infatuation with rc aircraft that are larger than what is already available. There will never be an LMTA3 category, the FAA already doesn't understand the need for such large model aircraft and I agree. The requirements for LMTA2 are already a hassle.

The EDF guys say the same thing about the models we fly. I guess it all depends on which side of the fence you're on. Models of this size require too much effort for me to consider one, but I love watching other people fly theirs.
