    CRAP!!!!!
    Its not the AL37, it’s an order I completely forgot I made and that’s SAD! I mean I need the parts, but sad that I forgot I made it only 5 days ago.
    But Alpha did say a day or two ago and I quote him,”It won’t be long now guys/gals”.

        Oh, man!!! That was cruel and unusual even though it was just an honest mistake. ;-)

        • Great job on the repaint and excellent photos too. Looks like the real thing in flight.

          • Hi Jeremy,

            Where there any noticeable flight characteristics changes from adding the combustion chambers? Do you have the files to print them?

              Don’t add them! Lost tons of thrust. They looked cool but the jet had to fly at 100% throttle to barely fly. It was a great idea for scale look but will not work for flight.

              • Hello everyone, I already ordered my Al37 from Spain, I asked for the white version, I am going to paint military, matt gray, and I asked for callie decals, of the P8 POSEIDON, I have some photos of the real one, does anyone have any more to be able to contrast? thanks

                • Tough waiting. Alpha’s “it won’t be long” is making it harder. 😀

                  Batteries are here. Receiver is here. Callie’s graphics are here. Just need an airplane. 😱😱

                  • It's always been stated as "early December", with the second batch being "mid-December". Having someone say "it won't be long now" doesn't change a thing. I'll also have the Callie graphics here before the plane, but then, that's MY doing. It won't change when the plane will be here. How tough the wait is becomes a mental process.

                    • On the bright side it gives us a chance to rethink some of our design methods. Judging from these photos I see the wing tops are almost totally a light grey while there appears to be an aluminum edge on all leading wing edges, even the tail. My design will be made up of a combination 30 minute epoxy coating 2 or 3 inches from the wing leading edge to prevent spray paint gatoring of the leading edge, aluminum spray paint (not water based) over the epoxy coated leading edge and
                      light grey vinyl sheeting covering the aluminum spray up to maybe an inch or closer to the leading edge to make the aluminum edge look accurate
                      . The horizontal rear stabilizers will be coated with a water based paint that matched the vinyl after a coating of 30 minute epoxy, which also helps hide cell foam patterns, which has worked quite well in the past. Not sure about the fuselage; I may just settle for a coat or two of Minwax once the decals are applied.

                                I just cleared my build table, got out my paint and have the United graphics from Callie laid out on a flat table.
                                Now where is that darn FedEx Driver!
