328k SpiritusRaptor@TheLatentImage Thanks, I totally agree with you, one of the more fun jets to fly. She is not indestructable which makes it half the fun... Try hovering on her tail... Video will be out shortly with a demo :)9.6 years ago

Mod TheLatentImageI like this a lot man, that wing shape is fantastic. This is sleek and a joy to fly. I put it down pretty hard and one of the gear snapped off but it stayed together well, it's really sturdy. Excellent build my friend.9.6 years ago
