Congratulations! Very Impressive. I am very much aware of all the work involved in your project. I have been working about a year on a 1/12th scale turbine powered B1-B. I completed the functional swing wing mechanism last month. I have asked one of the giant scale jet guys for some suggestions on the flying stab which should help get my project done sometime in the late summer.
I would like to ask some additional questions if you have the time. Thanks.

Way to go man, that looked great. Can't believe how much power that plane has. Here's a link to the video for all who are too lazy to go to e-zone.
