Does anyone have one of these all composite kits? Last weekend I got a chance to see one of these kits up close and it looked very nice. I would be more interested in the all composite. Unfortunately the pilot had some radio problems and i didnt get to see it fly.
Also can you help me with the Euro price conversion:
Didier quoted me about 2325,00 Euro for the complete kit.
Thanks
Scott

Well i have one on order, just to let you know, waiting list is 5 months for the ARF Version. As far as price goes its around $1750 US with a $350 deposit.

There was a good posting 3 weeks ago regarding how it flies
One RCU member (I-NAV) has one which i believe is the one you saw.

I'll eithier put a Simjet 1700 or 2300 depending how the weight works out.

I heard it flies similar to a F-15 as i'm sure you know are easy to fly.

The f22 you saw last weekend at TMS belonged to Mike Youngling of San Antonio. He had battery problems Sat but got a new pack and on Sun he really wrung it out. Flies great.

Scotty,
You also did a good job of wringing out your F-16 last weekend, great looking jet. Are you gonna go to Hearne this weekend?? You shoulda stayed longer on Sat. you coulda seen me spear that wooden pole with my A-4, kinda reminded me of the time you and I did our impression of lawn darts with my old Byron A-4. Now that was funny. I hope that didn't bother you too much back then, not your fault when something comes off the airframe. Did you see my old beat-up Mig, how come the ugly ones live forever?? Hope to see you at Hearne.
Oh yeah, as far as your question goes, Mike Y. Loves his F-22, sayes it flies great. He might come to Hearne this weekend if I can talk him into it.

Mike

I watch mike fly his F-22 last Sunday, very nice. The plane flies like it's on rails. Mike get two thumbs up for the construction and finish. Nice job!

Thanks for the conversion chart.

Sorry i missed the A4. Me and Joe ran all the batteries down and went through 10 gallons of fuel. We got pretty wore out. I dont even know how many times we flew all day. We had a great time at TMS and i hope it becomes a yearly event. Is the A4 a complete loss? Thanks for the coments on the F16. Shes been good to me. The Roo keeps going and going. Going to have to miss Hearn this weekend unfortunately. I really liked the F22 that Mike had, I wish i could of seen it fly.

Scott,
Too bad you won't be at Hearne, the weather actually looks like it will be nice for flying. As far as my A-4 goes, it is totaled only because I refuse to rebuild it. I have another A-4 and a Mig to fly. Besides the port wing was thrashed as well as the entire front half of the fuse. It will make good spare parts though. What do you think of the little Simjet 700, maybe stick it in my Mig?? See ya.

What Happened to your A4 ?

I drove it (yes I said drove it because it was on the ground) into a wooden post. Very fast. Very straight on, very broke. I'm not counting this one in my crash column because it was on the ground.
