I was thinking more like a vigilante with the high stab, looks cool though, if it's priced like the others are it should be a very popular jet!

Ahh dude, I'm gonna spaz!!! Morne!!! I'll take a 12 pack! Very nice but how come it only flies on a pp120? What about a USAMT AT450, Artes Rhino or a Wren XL200? LOL!!!
Vigilante crossed with a bandit. Very very nice! More pictures please! Airfoil and stab location from the sides too?
Your gonna be a busy guy!

Those flaps need to be doubled in size, otherwise, sure looks good.

Guys

If Anton can do this one for $995 including landing gear he will have to beat us off with a stick. This is what we have been asking for from China instead of a diet of scale models.

I also suggest larger flap. But it goes down 90 deg. So it should be ok!

Interesting change from the scale offerings. I would certainly be interested if the price is right.

Is that bad.....? The wing is certainly Hawk like but the tail is a bit like an Aermacchi MB 339. Looks ok to me.

Yes I see it too as well as some other atributes from other designs. It might be a really good flyer. Can't wait to see on in person. We need a value-jet in the size! Good job x-treme jet!

The wing area looks quite large. If the weight is kept down, it should fly great.

I think 90 degree is not the right thing to do. Drag at that angle is severe. larger flap AREA is more efficient rather than more deflection...

I think the stab up top is probably better as you need less structure (less weight) for about the same rigidity.

I think you can get the same rigidity either way, look at BVM's Viper or Bandit. maybe add some andihedral... looking good though.

Absolutely, you CAN get the same rigidity either way. That was my point! Its just that having the stab on top means less structure to get that rigidity, therefore less weight!

This thing is all MAS Renegade /Vigilante...

I have a Mercury equipped Renegade and same thing, Flaps too small, 90 deg makes for some wicked tip stalls if too slow on landings, had a few one turn spins on final. It's been moth balled till I get about 3 lbs out of it SOMEHOW.......

Will this model be the "plus" style of construction? Any specs on wing area?
