WOW Joe, those are really nice shots! Really makes me proud of all the work that has been done.
Maybe if you stay in AZ long enough you can do some formation with the Panther.
Thanks,

Wow, Nice pictures. I wanna put these pylons and gear doors on my JHI A7 now.

Here is a video of my flights, no music background.

Hi John,

Yes, it's the same video, but I remove the background music so people can hear the turbine noise and determine the landing setting. I think a bigger A7 would be great especially for bigger turbine. I am going to keep this A7 as a scooter. The Wren 44 Gold is like a CIVIC, easy on kero, only used up 32 oz per 9 minute flight.

I see what you meant. Keep it as a hobby. You might want to talk to Larry at JHI and see maybe he can help you kit the plane, since he's got a factory in China. Have him turn it into RTF for lazy jet pilots like me. ARF is too much work for me, I only fly RTF. You have all my admiration for all the work you've done on your nice looking A7.

Regards,

Mike

Nice vid John. One question though : are these pylons going to get fitted with Mk82s , Snakeyes, Napalm tanks, etc in a near future ? That would turn this thing into a real "A7" ... Given the extra thrust you have with this engine, that shouldn't be a problem.
