I will have more pictures of the hatch later today my batterys are dead now. The new Euro fighter will have all the mods of the old one and have a removeable vertical fin and a canopy frame.

I would just make sure you use a good servo strong metal gear servo the ones you have should work fine I installed TS-70MG 133 OZ @6V SERVOS and a Hitec digital 5945mg on the elevator and small hitec 225mg on rudders.

I bought a Tango at the Superman jet fly, as my first jet. The kit looks well made and finished. If this thing flies as well as it looks then I'll be well pleased.

I was considering beefing up the retracts. Initially I was thinking about Jet Model Products MK20's but the base plates are pretty large and would need a lot of cutting to get them to fit. I was now considering Violet Balsa bandit units. Is this worth the effort or are the Robarts fine for the job?

Also, in building this plane, does it tend to come out nose heavy or tail heavy? Should I be planning to put the batteries up front, or the air tanks?

I am also on the list waiting for instructions. Trouble is, there is so much "new stuff" to consider, and it is all within the main fuselage, its hard to get to the parts that I'm familiar with. Don't want to plough ahead and have to pull stuff out or move it later because I overlooked something.

The new Eurofighter is the same size as the one i sold at fiberclassics but has these improvements;
1. fiberglass canopy frame and clear canopy for ease in installation and better look
2. a much improved main engine hatch that is easier to install and better looking
3. a much improved wing tube spar
4. carbon fibre reinforced wing formers AND GEAR PLATES
5. a less fragile outer skin to protect against minor hanger rash
6.A REMOVABLE fin for transportation
5 paint schemes including 2 tone grey

And for those who are curious how much more this new plane with all these great improvements will cost than the composite-arf.
NOT A PENNY!!!!!!! Same price introductory price $1190

Robert don't worry we have one for you there are 30 more ready

Mike, we are getting ready to turn the 3d cad drawings of the BIG Tango to the rapid prototyping people. And I must say this is something else outline wise!

Back to work in the factory here tomorrow, to finish the eurofighter then long flight back on friday to Chicago and then on to Lake Wales and Tripple tree jets!

We are currrently working on a large model Tango twin boom model 90 plus inch.
It will not be style wise a blown up Tango it is styled different but will be very aerobatic and have a very wide speed envelope. For 28 plus pound turbines.
Our target date is for delivery in quantity in Feb 04. Target price with gear and tanks $2495.

Yes we love it here in Buenos Aires and even more the rest of Argentina and their people. We are also this trip setting up our home and buying our vehicle. I plan on
spending alot of time here as we intend on introducing a new plane almost every month for at least the next year.
I will bring the f5 to florida i believe.
After Lake Wales I will spend a week at Ernie Hubers heli school then a couple days at Disney with my daughter and off to Tripple tree jets.
Look forward to seeing you at Lake Whales.

Don you got to stop. I got to eat. Not all my lunch money can go for airplanes. Anyway I sent you an Email about a Euro as well as I think I have a few of the smaller Edges sold for you. Now just the other day I was talking to a buddy of mine and said that I really really would like to find a Double Vision and I hope some one kits it. Anyway hope everything is going well down south. There is going to be snow on the ground by the time you get home to Chi.
