Preliminary information about kit features and price:

1) The CARF-Models BOLT will be 3,990 USD / Euro (incl VAT) single color white

2) The shown "Honeycomb Scheme" and the new "Victory Scheme" will add 700 USD/. Euro (incl Vat) Any other future scheme cost will vary. Full custom schemes will have to be fully paid before production starts. Color Swaps on two stock schemes are 100 USD/Euro upcharge.

3) The kit will be very complete with all required hardware to finish the build and installation of all equipment.
Saddle fuel tanks, smoke tank, thrust tube and Electron landing gear with wheels/brakes and controller are extra items listed on site and will have to be purchased separatly when needed.

4) At the time of completion of you model in the factory there will be an ARF-Plus option available, which can be purchased additionally. This will install retracts, thrust tube and fuel- and smoke tanks so that the only remaining work for you will be installation of engine, servos and other RC gear.

Ray and Mike are there to help everyone your side of the ‘pond’
Mike has flown the Bolt, so I’m sure he can help with any questions.

It would be very cool to have at least some of the carbon exposed and clear coated as part of a scheme....

Second prototype has flown today. Short shake down flight before real testing can continue.
