I'm seeing double!
Many of you at the Mississippi Afterburner event witnessed the first flight of my new MB-339. I actually built two of those suckers, and just finished (to primer) the second one. 
It is being shipped to it's new owner now, but I did get an opportunity to take some pics of both finished airplanes together before it was boxed.
Me with both of the monsters:

Bob,
I tried to talk Kevin into trading the second one for my P120 (on loan in plane #1), but he said the new owner would kick his @#$ . That new owner is going to have one nice, well built plane. I hope he enjoys it.

Hi whos kit jetteam? Thanks
This kit was designed to use a pusher fan and would have disentigrated with turbine power if I had built them by the plans. I had to completely redesigned every load bearing structure in the plane(s).
I think I have seen the ads for the Jetteam kit and if I am thinking of the right one, it looks pretty darned good.
Ben, Mark, Mike,
I'll let you guys fight over my Interceptor when I put it up for sale in a few weeks

P-160?
I saw a P-160 in action at Winnamac two weekends ago in Tim R. bobcat. What a awesome power plant. Tim had a speed limiter installed. Less than 75 ft take off roll, pull up and go vertical forever.

He brought cool top-secret stuff to AMA last weekend. (ooppppssss!!! ) He could have arranged to drop ship the airplane there also.

You know I will never say anything good about JETCAT. Oh BTW, my JETCAT P-120 powered SJ F-16 got a good press at the AMA home coming over the weekend. In addition, Tim's P-160 powered BobCat left many pilots speechless.
