Sean, I am going to have to keep it in my house since Lavernge knows how to get into my shop. Never did trust those "Feds" LOL


Ronnie, I appreciate the offer to test fly it for me but NO WAY DUDE

Pat, you are right it has been way too long since we have seen each other and had a good visit. Looking forward to seeing you again, soon.

Vincent, I put a JC P-70 in it.

She's a work for Art there Jetdriver-
I did think about buying one from Tam, just the Basic A-4 kit, but got a shock when I received the quote for the freight-

"The shipping cost is around $500"

I've imported a few kits from the states before, and never paid that kinda money- shame really

I'd still love to bring one home, but not at that price- Sorry Tam

Good luck with the test flight!

Ants, thanks for the kind words. The scooter is one of my all time favorite jets. Tam did his homework on this one as far as engineering . It is suppose to fly great but I can't say until I fly this one. I will give a report after the maiden

Hope you can work something out with Tam so you can get one.

Ants,
New Zealand is another side of the world.
Shipping had gone double since March.[:@]
Normal it only cost around $275. But if you give me the address and let me see if any chance the price goes down.

The more wires and hydraulic lines and cables you can cram up in that nose gear well, the more realistic it will become. Scooter looks very good.
