    Is there a typo on the new decals? I saw in the build video that the text on the decal said "fichter wing". You can see it at 1m 50sec into the video. My guess is that it should be "Fighter Wing"? Easily fixed with a marker pen though. :)

                      One exciter, that's all that will fit.

                        Correct...And Mike said to watch the freewing f-18 64mm build video or the freewing yak 130 70mm build video as he shows the football still in the package.

                            If anyone is looking for the protective cases that Mike shows putting on the wing connectors in the build video I got mine off of eBay.

                            They are $5.49 (shipping included) for 5 of them.

                                          Yeah, according to the spec page, they are supposed to be water slide. I'm wondering if that has changed or was pilot Mike working with a preproduction decal set. I personally would prefer the water slide type because they look better but at this point it will be what it is. BTW any new update on the ETA ? Brad
