I need to get those done. The F-15, F-18 and F-5/T-38 are ready to go, just need to get some build manuals done. In fact, I have 3 of each kit sitting in the garage right now.

Hopefully will get those done and on the website soon. They build just like Steve's original larger models for the most part.

Pat

what did you end up with for w/s and price ?

are they on the web site yet !
my bad it helps when you read all the way through the posts ! sorry !

They will be listed under the Pocket Jet series. Price will be about $35 for kits (they have more parts than the profile series).

Pat

went nite flying last nite it was awsome ! trying to get the guys to do it 2 times a month on weds. nights !
but dont think it will happen!
we will see !

yeah i know built the f15 & f18 already ! flew the f15 for the big jolt demo !
man that was fun !
like a bunch of angry bees flying around ! hope it helped you out with sales !

i also like the t38 & the super bandit !

Oh Baby! A Super Bandit would be nice! One can only hope.... Marty

I started off with a few teething problems, namely a complete lack of thrust running a too small prop (all i could manage was a piddly 10 sec high alpha flight before returning back to Terra Firma). See the picture for the before and after....
Anyway i decided on a death or glory and hacked a large area of the plane out so as to fit the trusty GWS5030 prop (working as a pusher obviously). As you can see it ain't gonna win any prizes for looks but that's the beauty. With the 5030 i do have some torque roll but nothing to crazy but the plane flies great rolls, inverted, loops, high speed etc. etc. The only problem i do have is it a little twitchy at high speeds making low passes a handful.
So after around 5 packs through her i decided to add some ailerons to the wings, this has smoothed out the flight loads and make rolls and general control more predictable.
