Hi Goose, nee ons het geen veranderings aangebring nie. EK hou maar by die build standard en manual. Hierdie een se fittings is nogal stewig en is binne in die tenk versterk. Het jy al begin met die deur angles?

Hi Goose,
Do you know the total weight of the kit ?
Did you weight the differents parts ? (wings, frame, undercarriage, etc)
It would have been very interresting to compare with a BB Explorer.
I'm a French speaking person. Sorry for the mistakes I can make.
If you don't understand what I say, do not hesitate to tell me.

Hi MYR

Yes it would be interresting to compare the BB and KF
But Now I do not have any weights for the kit or the components
Maybe the guys at the BB factory have weight the KF they are building there

vhpy No Probl. Had a good laugh. No we did not weigh the KF. We will weigh the frame fully build without the engine. No need to weigh the seperate components
