Any word from Motion when the lightning will be back in stock?

Gonna put two rcgf 10 cc re stingers in, spoke with Glen there, He'll set them up for scale rotation. 1.9 hp at 12k rpm..potential for nearly 4 hp

Dude that would be epic! Can't wait to see it running!

Here is the latest and greatest link at MotionRC (as of today), for the Nexa P-38 Lightning Olive Drab 2108mm (83") Wingspan - ARF. (https://www.motionrc.com/products/ne...rf-nxa1013-001). I just received mine yesterday. The list price is now $829.00, and does not include electric retracts. Basic wire struts are included, which of course, I won't be using. Greetings to the Hobby Squawk community! wjm

Thank you Twowingtj for the kind welcome. I will have a boat-load of good and bad regarding my recent purchase of the Nexa P-38 Lighting 2108mm in the coming weeks. Cheers! wjm

If you feel like it, you can check out my YT channel and search for "Legend Models P-38" and I have videos of her flying...(Same exact model, different name).

Thinking about buying one of these, anyone else have any maiden info?

She flies fantastic. Build is so-so (check for QC issues, some of my formers were not glued in) but once she's built soundly she flies superb. CG, throws by the book if I recall. Gentle lady.
