Tinkerman, that F9F is gorgeous. You did an amazing job with it. Can't wait to see her maiden and see how fast she goes.

[@n7hww]

Awesome job Tim! The layout of the cockpit is a thing of beauty. I have a sweet spot for the Panther. My dad was a USMC recruiter in the early 60s. He brought home a few Panther desk display models for me to play with. Good times.

Ho-Lee-Carp! This is exactly what my wife is afraid I will eventually get into! LOL...I dont see me progressing much past foamies,tho! Just an amazing aircraft and craftsmanship, Tim.

[@dphotos007]

Nice looking plane. Big step up from the foamy and balsa planes. Took awhile for you to build it but it came out nice. I wish you could had started the JetCat for us. Can't wait to see it fly. When you first fly it don't worry about the video. All your train of thought should be on learning to fly a turbine.

[@DickGibson]

Far out man that is super kool. I can't wait to see it fly. You do a meticulous build!!!!
