Here's my F-100 I built back in Apr-June. It's actually my second Hun. The first one went down due to a cheap Chinese servo failing, live and learn.
Built from blown up Comet plans.
Started out life with retracts but they didn't hold up on our grass field so I glued the gear doors shut and made a her a bungee launcher.
