Have you seen these Depron jets and wanted to try one out but just don't have time, space, tools, or the experience with this material, to produce what you want? I'm Gary, and I would like to help. I have been building 6MM kits for myself and others since they started selling them on eBay. Only so many used ones to go around, and many don't want to ship them. I build and ship, now via Greyhound, without a single casualty.
I have testimonials upon request. Many are pictured in the gallery section of the 6MM Flyrc site. I take the time to shape these planes to as realistic an appearance as is practical. I like them to be as scale looking as possible, as can be seen from my builds, and a lot can be done with a little patience.
All builds include extra reinforcement where I have found it beneficial (1/64 ply laminated to the depron) and the servos installed where they need to be 'built in'.
The scope of a build can vary for cost or owner involvement considerations:
1.- RTP (ready to paint) with no cockpit, no radio other than the servos built in, no power system (basic wiring is still installed), and of course no paint or other detail.
2.- ARF (almost ready to fly) complete with all servos, wiring, ESC of your choice, power system of your choice, and just a basic cockpit (no pilot and no interior but paint and the canopy glued in place)
3.- basic RTF (ready to fly with paint) all of the above plus a two color military paint job
4.-custom RTF option A (all of the above plus-ready to fly with a custom paint scheme of your choice, decals from the 6MM site, panel detail, cockpit detail with pilot/pilots)
5.-custom RTF option B (all the above plus-conversion to EDF)
6.-custom RTF option C (all through option A plus-retract gear) To date, I have added retracts to (3) F-14s and (2) F-18s
Almost any combination of these options can be made with the exception of the EDF conversions. Some of these will prohibit retracts due to limited space for inlets and airflow (I don't like cheater holes)
I can also install your equipment or build a kit you already have, or both. A test flight with adjustments and a 'maiden' video is another option if the complete radio is available.
My builds are always done with a variety of adhesives and added balsa and carbon reinforcement as I have deemed prudent from experience, yet always with the total AUW a consideration. They are as durable yet light as I can make them. For the paint process, I sand, fill with light weight filler, sand again, first coat of paint, sand, fill again, sand, 2nd coat of paint, very lightly sand, add detail panel lines and graphics, clear coat with either flat or gloss clear, depending on the scheme.
I put together this pricing as a place to start. This pricing is based on my cost as of today, and is subject to change as prices go up. I always am open to trades and negotiation, so if you really want one of these, I can usually find a way to get you in one. They are a ball. I will certainly honor any prices I have out there, in emails and such.
The RTF pricing for all these jets includes:
-airframe with my added reinforcement where appropriate
-all servos (22oz or better)
-all wiring
-pusher propulsion (GH2212-06 V2 and a 30 amp ESC) with prop installed
-paint (two colors)
-Velcro battery mount
-Magnetic hatch (s)
-my profile pilot
-clear tinted canopy installed
All you need is your RX and battery to go fly.

-Any jet RTP (ready to paint) ..........................subtract $30
-Any jet less equipment (except SU-37).............subtract $90
-SU-37 with no equipment...............................subtract $130
-I also can build you parts for you build. (profile pilots, ejection seats, engine nozzles, intake scoops, and more). Just PM me with what you would like for availability and pricing.
-if you already have a kit and want it built, I can do that also. PM me.
All custom builds can be built to your specs and each has many possibilities. Please consider this pricing as a place to start. The final price for your project could vary depending on trades, specs, any equipment you already have or may want to trade out, etc. I'm flexible on my work, but have the same costs for supplies and equipment as you would. Please keep this in mind. Please PM or email me for a detailed explanation of my build process, materials used, or any other question you may have. Thanks for looking.
