Just a quick comment. I know several people complained about the gold, stained canopy. I do not understand this. It looks EXACTLY like the Gold Dust Treated canopies installed in modern fighters like the F-22. It looks really great.
It doesn't consistently go through there, however. I've had it arrive in CA before via Fed Ex as well. it's already on it's way to Memphis. $20 says I see it Tuesday.
From my perspective, if it was because of the hurricanes, then they were a Godsend. LA customs is HORRIBLE. Send it though Alaska, then Memphis, and it'll hit Albuquerque a full week earlier.
I don't know, I'm thinking that unless they pack in a bunch of extras, they could probably get away with this one being between $250 and whatever the VF-17 was.
I was planning to do a video review for the YF-30 when it arrives but right now it's scheduled for Wednesday which means I won't have time to do anything until at least next weekend. Not sure if I'll be able to put anything together.
Technically the 25 has three hardpoints. Two on the wing and one of the glove. Being able to hang additional gunpods from those wing gloves would look awesome.
I think it's funny how for the last two years there's been a lot of "pass, it's silly looking" talk on this thread and now it's suddenly ,"Holy!!! I have to get at least two!"
