Man, it's been a long time since I got the kit and not much has happened LOL! Well, at least the fuse is finished. A little more covering on the wing, install the rest of the radio gear and it's time to his the blacktop. About time : )

I'm considering one for my next project after my big ultimate. I like the colors you have chosen. I think one would look cool using flite metal. What engine are you using?

It's a Simjet 2300. I'm not finished with the colors yet, the fuse is looking a bit boring so I'll have to think of something lol.

shaun,
I have a 2300 in mine too. Good combination.
With partial flaps, takes off in maybe 200ft. Climbs out with authority.
Will do large loops etc, slows to a crawl for landing with full flaps.
You'll like it.

Guys,

I have been getting a lot of requests for the "teeth and eys" as seen on my model so I will be having these available in vinyl very soon if any of you are interested.
