This is my winter project. C-ARF New Rooky.
This plane is well over 200mph and should land just as well as the Tornados do.

Oh Great Al!! You guys get me all hooked up and excited with the gassers - I buy one - and now look what your going to get me into. Grin

What a beautiful plane and don't pay any attention to the peanut gallery. I love the colours; Very Manly. Roll Eyes

Can't wait to see you fly it!!!

Jack
I got them out of china SD Hobbies. I pay 137 for them but I see they have gone up in price. They are the spring air style. If your looking for retracts beware these have 1/2" trunion blocks.

Yes, I'm with you on that one. It's nice to know that the gear will come down if the air goes.

Here's a shot of the carnards and how they will move.
They respond to elevator movement.
