90" I believe - when I get home I'll check out my Byron catalog and make sure.

Default F-5

I don't think you have to wait too long to see one of these up close cause a local flier is getting one of these kits. I'll let you guess who.

I already know!
I guess that will be a very small concillation, at least I would get to touch it...

Heck, now get those p200s over here drop one of those in it and that would be a combination to "shock and awe" with. :stupid:


Yeah yeah it was cheap.

Default Where and When??

All right guys, where do you fly? I am in So Cal as well and currently in the process of converting a byron I bought here into a P-120 machine. Which kit is the 117" plane in that pic? It looks awesome! I am glad to see there are some other F-20 nuts in the area.

Default Hello

I fly at Sepulveda Basin in the valley. A number of jet fliers also fly at the Pomona Valley club in Prado Dam rec area.

Others fly in the desert at a couple of dry lake beds.

THe picture in the photo is of the Peter Liebetrau F-5. I am thinking about getting one, cant' decide between that one and some other kits.

Good luck with the conversion, if you need any help with the turbine just ask.
