RE: KFIR- The Ultimate Mirage!!!
Iron Bay can and will make everything but the foam parts. I suppose you could make some wings for it.
I love the size and the way Byrons fly and I was too looking for a Byron Kfir. Just found one NIB. Good thing I bought it!

Trust me, after Soppy gets done with a plane, you do not want any part of it!!!! The word Jacked Up comes to mind.
All kidding aside, when he is done with it, it will be a killer plane.
Actually, I know the original builder of that plane. It was built by my dads friend back in the early 1980's. My dad built and actually finished a JHH A-4 at the same time.

Bob, you will love this bird.I originally had a simjet 1200, that was accidentally set on the lowest output(about 8Lbs)and the airplane was very tail heavy,but the Kfir took off with athority and flew.After moving the CG almost 1'forward, the Kfir flew great.I think that a Wren 44 gold would be the ideal turbine for this airplane.It would be about 1 1/4Lbs lighter and you could use smaller tanks.There would be no lack of power with this setup.

Yeah, 72 megs is pretty big. Short of mailing a cd, I would suggest splitting up the pics into groups of 10-15 megs and then zipping each of those groups up individually. The would result in about 5-7 different zip files. Then, send each file in seperate emails. I think my email can handle up to 20 meg attachments. That would be worth a shot.

Hi bandit the plane is only with the primer color I haven't decide yet for the final colors.I will go first with a 5" BVM 91 DF and retracts.Do you know if 40" for the wings is correct?I haven't heard that before.

Hi! Yes, indeed it's foam inside the wings.So I guess the CG is 7" from the LE, correct?
You think I should have problem with the wings?

Hi Joey
wait until I'll send all the files.
I don't know how is the size of your mail box because of that I'm not sending you all the
files at once and I'm waiting you to empty the mail box.
After you will receive all the files there is a little process to with the winzip to open the
files.

RE: KFIR- The Ultimate Mirage!!!
Flight update: About three months ago I damaged my Kfir when I made an emergency landing in the thick wet New Jersey grass.When I walked over to get the Kfir,I was surprised that there was that much damage.The nose broke off, one of my main retract ripped out of the wing and my drop tanks were destroyed.After making the repairs, I got two flights on it this week and all I can say is wow! It flies as good as it did before the repairs and looks very scale in the air.
