    Priceless!

    Good to know we can just replace broken wings with canards, very convenient!

      Also a fine lesson in how the name is pronounced :D

            Much bigger wing than the Mirage, perhaps it needs the additional roll?
            Strongly doubt that. The Eurofighter is even wider and has tons of roll authority from elevons alone.

              Pre-ordered today. Send me one without the decals already applied and your on. Dang Alpha, no more releases for a few months though. Wallet is yelping.

                I've hit my purchasing limit for the year so no Gripen for me (yet), but I'm going to model the IRIS-T for those that want give it some teeth.
                That would be sweet!

                    • Does anyone know, will the ARF Plus have the decals applied by the factory?

                      My assumption is yes.

                      • Will motion have chemtrail injectors as upgrade. Only scale option I want. I found the the chemtrail switch on my F-16 once. However I think it was faulty as it seamed it killed my motor.

                            Thanks for posting that. My favorite was the chemtrail ejector :-) However, it is unbelievable how often I get asked if pilots really create those "chemtrails" by using a switch in the cockpit...

                                • Thank you. Battery compartment dimensions would be good to know also, if you had them available.

                                        • Excited to see this over the winter. Hopefully someone can chime in with help on setting it up on a FrSky S8R. I know they have a delta wing in their config, but with the canards....????
