Dave, I just contacted James and am putting in the order now. Trying to decide on the scheme.....Let me know how it looks when you get it. I'm really interested in what I'm in store for!
Thanks again,
Lowell

David,
Thanks for the pic. The blue does look great (and different too...). I have the F-14 coming in the Black Bunny scheme. It will match my Phantom!! Not likely to see an F-16 like that though!!
Anyway, I'll look around but might very well end up with the blue one to be different.
Thanks again,
Lowell

Is that my L-39 on the shelf to the left?
They said that they were 7-10 days from finishing mine. I hope so, I am getting impatient! Having the L-39 in my garage will give me motivation to get a certain Corsair out of my shop....

The plane looks great, the paint and detailing seems to be very good!
However:
It will look very strange if the tailcone is open when you fly - it will hardly ever look like that in the air.
Also, the navigation light looks wrong - too big and much too rounded?? Don't get me wrong here, I have
plans for buying this plane, I just want to hear from someone who builds and flies it first! and I would
like to have the details right!

Dave...........bring it home to the proving grounds!
looking good baby!
Wish I would have gotten one at the price they were offering back then. [:@]
The opened turkey feathers would probably make the AB Ring look so much cooler. There's room for larger LED's.

I bought a spot welder and have played with spot welding burner cans out of printers plate. When I get better at I might be able to make some aftermarket cans out of Stainless or Aluminum. The first attempt I spent 30 minutes making and their is potential for success. Cell shots are not very good.
