We take donations if you'd like to help contribute to the channel, or if you really have a model in mind that you'd like to see me fly, set up, and put through its paces: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/JonSynRC

Be sure to pick up a BlueFire or TrueFire ???? afterburner for this jet. Larry's afterburners look amazing - brighter than what you can get elsewhere, and cheaper too:
