    Motion, what say you?
    If you really cannot wait, there is another place that has them in stock...for 559 euros, not including shipping. I don't mind the wait though. But if you must...see the link below. Good luck.

        Cool, nicely done again Ryan cheers. Now stop mucking around and get that full feature flight vid done - you've got the teaser vids down pat hey - I need more!) . ;)

        What constantly amazes me about this jet is it's slow speed handling, whether it's windy or not. A lot of sport jets (specially turbines), can get a bit of a tail wiggle with full flaps and slow speeds. (Nothing major, just a minor side to side movement and just something I've noticed with sportjets in general over time). This one looks pretty solid. The more vid I see, the more excited I'm getting.

          That's not as expensive as I first posted but it's still $600.00US for an ARF. I like SebArt stuff. I have their Mig29. Again, not cheap but a quality product.

                I did notice that the one in the link mentions a 90mm edf. Interesting.......

                  Hey guys, it looks awesome! Finally got back after a week of the flu and the next week of pounding out overtime. 13 hours this week is enough to drain you when you're not up to snuff!
                  Anyway, glad to see Ryan has his up and running, great build video and the short flight video is pretty darned impressive!!
                  That suspension is amazing, it'll be getting the lawn test first thing as none of my planes will taxi on the lawn.
                  As long as the plane gets here in time for Nefi, I'll be happy. If not, I can check out Ryan's while we're there. Two months to go so don't forget.

                        You probably won't see a ready-made blue canopy option. See posts #266, page 14 and #402 on page 21 for instructions on how to achieve a blue canopy. Just be careful if mixing paint brands ie. ....spraying a chrome final layer if a different brand. One paint might badly wrinkle the other! Test on some scrap plastic first. The paint used wasTamiya Clear Blue TS-72 .

                                You won't be able to achieve the same result as the test plane, i believe that the canopy was clear on that one all the production models have a smoked canopy so I guess the blue won't be as vivid.I wish they kept the clear canopy I will also paint mine.
                                Cheers

                                  You will paint the inside of the canopy after masking off all of the outside surface or at least enough to keep overspray from getting to the outside. The canopy's white "frame" is on the outside so you don't want to spray that at all. Spraying the inside really protects a canopy's coloration. I had forgotten the final canopy is tinted so yeah, the blue treatment won't be quite the same. I will still use the blue paint though.

                                          560 euros = $600.00US. That's like paying $300.00 to get it to Europe, then more shipping to get it to the end user. I can't imagine them selling many at that price.
