Billy
I have a question on the build of this plane. Was shown a picture of the inside and also contacted Wagner. The entire plane is built and reinforced with carbon fiber except the electronics plate. My concern is radio placement and interference with soo much carbon fiber? Any thoughts? Will be using Spektrum AR12120. Where to mount antennas! Can't find a place where there is no carbon fiber

Billy I sketched a design and Wagner and the team I believe worked on this to draw up the CAD design, I admit I have not seen this as would want to approve the design first before they went to manufacture. The single seat cockpit was a discussion a while back on this forum and the majority asked for a single seat cockpit - not sure if there was any progress from this point unfortunately.

As you say the tanks would make a great addition to this jet, all Vixens have hard point built into the wings as I always wanted these as an option for the kit following the work to produce the initial aircraft.

Hopefully Wagner can update us all in time.
