Well wouldn't you know, the big brown truck came by and dropped off a box. You might say wow thats really cool, but there is one problem there is supposed to be TWO boxes. Yep, UPS doesn't know where the other box is! I have been on the phone trying to find out where the other is but the best they can say is we will call you back. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Charlie,
Yes, it can and it has--many times. I'm currently flying one with a P-80. It's pretty cool. The level speed is probably only 30 or 40 m.p.h. faster than DF, but the takeoff is accelerating at 45 degrees!
That ARF can fly on a P-80 without any strengthening mods at all (except some BVM Heatshield painted inside the cones). I had to elongate the stock engine mounts with some 1/4" ply to mount the turbine. That's it. No bypass, just a Tampipe.

Charlie,
I'm using the new stock Yellow Aircraft gear with the semi-scale struts. Stock Y/A nose strut. In other words, nothing needed to handle extra pounds. I did make the same mod to the main struts that I do for DF, with the insertion of a rubber washer inside the shock. I do that as much to stand the ass end of the plane up higher as to reduce the slamming of metal to metal. It works fine either way.
Since I have the ARF, it comes with ailerons and flaps precut and hinged. You have to install the servo into the precut well. The hatch is already cut and screwed down. Yes, the rudders are cut out, too. The hinges are glued into the rudder, but not the fin because you have to glue the fin to the fuse, and install the rudder linkage.
