Raffle tickets aren't cheap. I think they went for $50 a piece or something like that last year. I will likely only buy one since it is going to be the one pulled, LOL!

Looks like the model has a much lower stab and a much bigger rudder, good job.

Hello,

LOL Joe. Wayne I glad you got some stick time. I think the sheer size on the plane also attributes to the solid flying. Going to go back to make dinner. Bucs won so Im cooking.

Hey John, as soon as you're able, how about putting some info on your website about this plane so I'll know how much money to save up and what comes with it. The color schemes would be nice to know too.

I believe it will only be offered in a kit, so the color scheme would be up to you!

That's where I got the idea it would be an ARF.
Maybe I'm missunderstanding something here or he's talking about a different plane?

Hello,

Biff was just pulling leggs. When ordered we build and finish inhouse, We have an artist that can paint almost anything. So Instead of 100 of one we can be more flexible to offer custom schemes and a plane built to last.

Its too late for tickets I am sure right? I am sorry I did not get to follow this that well... I have to say, you guys did a fine job making that Extra look like a Sukhoi.... J/K . Beautifully done John... stunning.

Saw this wonderful plane at Tucson. After I cleaned up all the drool, I contemplated armed robbery and other foul, nefarious acts.

Alas, the plane went to a Desert Aircraft employee; so it will stay local. Also, plenty of good people to help fly it and report on it's characteristics.

My $10.00 was well spent, and stayed right at the Shootout, so I feel pretty good losing.

Thanks to John and Aerotech! I'm much more likely to be a customer.
