J.F it is actually a long process to make these Jets meet quality control standards and if you get
one and the quality is not what you expected then you will be back on here,
talking about what should have been done for your kit he has flown the
prototype but there all always new ideas and places to strengthen the lay up and landing
gear placements etc...

Thanks

We have one going to the uk. The wings do not come off so box size is a little big and it makes shipping overseas very exspensive. We are looking for different shipping methods and are open to suggestions.

Todd, he has one for you, just lacking retracts and paint.
The flying one is currently gutted to use the equipment in another prototype design.
I'll see if I can get him to bring a kit down to Austin so you can check it out

Well it might be possible to get the protoype flyable in a few days. TOm is weird like that.
He did basically build my f-16 at GSW last year and flew it lol

Just talked to Tom, he thinks he can get it flyable by tomorrow or friday at the field.
He says "tell Todd to bring retracts!"

Hi Todd,
The gear we have been using are Robart 530 RS for mains they retract away from the cylinder.
Nose is Robart 555 RS. The struts are Robart 664 mains and Robart 656 nose. With the new fins any struts may work.

Hey guys, I know it has been years in the making.
Lots of setbacks here and there but guess what........IT'S DONE!
Not only is the turbine version done but Tom is making small changes and laying up a prototype for a 90mm fan version.
The molds were slightly re-engineered so that the plane is not all one piece anymore.
The outer wing panels are now molded separately and they are simply glued on.
This facilitates the ability to ship the kit now without costing a fortune.
Infact the price to ship it to the UK is now only going to be around $75.
The kit will come fully composite.
Formers are installed in the molds.
There are 4 molded tanks.
Work to be done will be glueing on the outer panels, the fins and setting up gear doors if you choose.
Pricing is not finalized yet, but Tom is getting an order list together for people interested to give you a timeline of deliveries.
If you are interested in one hit me up. It will be going on the website soon.
