Any word when this may be in stock?

[Racer686]

All ordered up and expecting delivery early in the week!

Has anyone added a turbine to this jet? I'm more interested in a turbine version.

[Racer686]

Just noticed the price went up $30 to $689.

We'll likely see this across the board with wood ARFs and kits as the price of balsa has gone through the roof.

Has the stock nose wheel steering worked reliable or are you guys modifying it. Pictures would be great. Thanks

Anyone know when this will be back in stock?

I lost the grub screw in the nosewheel (even though it was lock tited), so the wheel decided to depart the jet and stay on the ground for the flight. It was a bad design choice to have the thread tapped so that forward motion of the wheel would loosen the bolt.

My one came without retracts, but with legs. I use the electric retracts from Pichler.
