I saw BV fly his at the Mesa jet rally last Nov and its a beauty, nicley detailed. The go fly price is $4400 which is a little steep imo for this size jet. Although it is a painted arf there still is some former assembly, gear and door install to do etc. Oh well, i will keep my older BVM Sabre in the air for a while longer i guess.

Vin,

I talked to Dustin at Ca Jets about the ARF F-86. He said that the wing is very light, so the model turns out lighter than the version that you have. He felt that a 12lb turbine would be PLENTY of power because of the light weight. The finish is exceptional with weathering too. His EDF version flew very well at Buttonwillow.

Tailwinds,

John

The web site says 17lbs dry and mine weighs 18.75lbs with a P-60.
