i was at stuarts house the other evening and saw the fuselage in the flesh, the photo's do not do justice to the quality of the mouldings!, the surface detail is exceptional, i did ask the price but as the saying goes "if you have to ask you can't afford it"! and i couldn't.

Been hearin a lot of good things about this one Steve...so go on....I'll ask....whats the damage then ??

p

About 4000 euros plus jet.

At today's rate that's £2,667.48  :(

Where's that lottery ticket

The one and only Stuart Mackay Models, but it's not on his web-site yet (got to build it first)

About 4000 euros plus jet.

mm that's just for the kit. Add the Jet. Add the retracts. Add the cockpit. plus radio and servos. Oh and don't forget getting a very large box across from Germany.

You wouldn't get much change from £61/2-£7k  Ouch!!

Had a great day building today.

Finished off the 1/2 scale Revolution +Engine run.

All the nose cone, retracts and firewall all positioned.

Forgot the camera so used Stuarts so will download over the w/end.

Tell you what it is so easy to put together, took 2 hrs to do the main wheels and 1/2 day to do all the woodwork and nose wheel.

Engine should be arriving this week. Using a Frank Turbine, from Germany.

This is what can be done in just over 1 week.

Well it's standing on all three legs!!

Onto some more detail.

Nose wheel.

CNC Cut framework is expoxyed into the fus, with this the nose wheel is screwed in.

Attached to the leg is the steering servo high torque digital job!!

Gear doors detail.

Arms epoxyed in and servos mounted in the CNC cut holes either side of the nose wheel entry.

That's the nose wheel, it's as easy as that!

Onto the main gear.

Simple enough just screwed in the internal framework that was built in the factory.

Airbrakes installed, glued and screwed in place.

Just check out the detail on the wheels.

Now for the doors.

And all tucked away nice and neat.

Onto the nose.

Ply plate epoxied into the nose cone with locating holes that match screw heads on the firewall.

Within the nose the batteries will be placed.

A couple of internal photos showing, the airbrake servo location with wheel cylinder.

Also the ducting, which was a major job positioning.

Test fitting the turbine.

The dive brakes are still to be installed.

42 holes (guess who drilled them!!)

Well we had to put it fully together to get the scale!!

Kind of mean looking!!

Here's Stuart putting scale to the whole plane.

Last ones for today, some external shots of the detail in the mouldings.

Check out the weld line along the wing tanks.

Steve, looking nice, what scheme are you doing?

Does it need a digi on the steering or did you just have one laying about?

Latest update: Got this bit wrong, used Hitec 645MG for the servo on the nose leg. Not digital.

Latest Jet info:

38lb of thrust @ 120,000rpm

Projet ECU

Weighs 1.56Kg

Has the approx the same performance as a JetCat 160 but £700.00 cheaper.

All available through Stuart.
