I was wondering about options on this plane. Seems like a JetCat90 RXi x 2 and elevon only plus no armament and light cockpit would make this a nice comfortable flier?

i could not agree more...

But for some it must have the trust - how else will you get "your hair on fire"...

Morne, Jeff Tolomeo here. How are you??

I was wondering, will the elevon version still have the top and bottom rear speed brakes?

Thanks

How are you Jeff?

Yes. The only difference is the wings. (you can always upgrade later to full version)

Kevin clear your cache, it is all there.

$5295 is without the landing gear, tanks, tailpipes, etc.

Options:

$5,295.00 Painted kit (Jolly Roger looks nice, Skymaster has great paint schemes, hopefully they can add some weathering to it)
$2,190 with Gear
$195.00 fuel tanks
$195.00 for cockpit
$95.00 for working canopy
$95.00 for air kit (worth it I got it in my SKymaster hawk and they lay it out clean but you'll need to replace the quickconnects with real robarts as well as the plastic tees... hrm may be not worth it now do that I think about it...)
$195.00 for Gear Door Set Cylinders
$250.00 for exhaust pipes
$495 Missile Set
-

$9,005

They are probably going to offer Details4Scale Light Kit as an option for $425.00 installed

$9,430.00

Shipping will be about $750.00

$10,180.00

Minus cash discount of 5%

$9,670.00

I'll Ask if they could do the above $9,000.00 shipped.

This is about $2,500 more than the FEJ F-14, but we all know by now what the FEJ's F-14 is really worth.

I was planning on getting one of these, but now I don't have engines due to the crash. I really reall really wish I waited for Skymaster from the beginning.

Price is why I opted out of sky master when I bought my f-16.

Yeah but I hope you don't end up paying in the long run.

Will be watching to see a fully painted loaded up f-14 I'm sure it will be great!

Looks like a great plane. A little out of my price range. Good luck to the lucky first owners. It looks Awesome.

Good to see someone taking the time to develop one and mot rush to production

Looks like it should be a great flying model. Can't wait to see some going and I am sure Likai has engineered the pivot mechanism well. Out of my price range unfortunately....[&o]

Is there a video of this model taking off, retracting the gear, swinging the wings, extending the gear, and landing?  How many flights on it?

If weight is the issue, better go with 2 P-100's, they're a lot lighter for about the same thrust...... the P-90 is a revised P80 with an integrated fuel pump....

Ok, who's ordered one? I am ready to but, I need pics of all the critical components before I pull trigger on this one. Not enough detailed pics of major bulkheads, stab/wing pivot assemblies, fuse formers, C/F reinforcement in layups, internal wing and stab structure. I don't mind dropping 10k, but its got to be a structurally sound purchase.

Nice. It's about time that jet manufacturers offered decent bags. They look great.
