I guess Scott may have warned Ali that I tend to destroy things when I get his shop and just wanted to take precautions that I don't do any harm to the 100. geez!! On Ali's part that was probably a good call.

Great Photo by David Hart.. One of many that I am sure we will see coming from the Monster Planes event of last week. This model is indeed an Airworld F-100 F. We at Al's Hobbies were very pleased to be able to supply it as a turn key item to Scott Marr. As part of the service, I flew out to the Florida to assemble, set up and test fly the model on a new DX18 radio for Scott. I also talked him through his first flights on the model.
This model is one of 5 Airworld F-100's built by my great friend Trond Hammerstad from Norway. Trond built a single seater F-100 for me right beside this station wagon :) variant. I honestly have never received a model that has been completed to such a high standard and complete nature. Both F-100's rolled off the bench and took to the air with zero fuss and zero aggravation. Something that is almost unheard of on models of this size and complexity.
Power comes from the stunning B220 turbine. Incredible power for such a small/ light unit. When you see how well these turbines are actually made, and speak to the brains behind it all, you get to realise why they are regarded by those that use them as being that good.
JR servos used, all going through a Powerbox cockpit which made setting the model up a breeze. An I gyro earns its keep, especially in the blustery conditions. 15 ch's are used and thats with some shared surfaces. The model features
Working chute
Nav lights
Lowering landing lights ( Not operated whilst at Monster planes due to a burnt servo )
a three ring afterburner light that is by far the best I have seen
bump stop
speed brake
full set of details for scale pylons and Bull pup missiles along with MK52 bombs

Possibly the best painted hot section I have ever seen

The smoking chute idea was all down to our crew chief for the event... The illustrious Bob O. I was a little sceptical when he mentioned it, but when he went to the effort of making a special trip to get some, I thought we may as well give it a shot. Good call Bob O... It worked a treat and in my opinion got the biggest holler of the event when it popped on touchdown.
