Frank KrauseHigh-quality mass-production. Usually you only have one or the other, but Philip manges to bring both together. It's COOL, man!😎

Bill GilmanThis looks fantastic! I love the way you're fixing the actuators on the slats. I didn't do that when I built this kit when it first came out. I wish I had! 🙂

Philip De KeyserThanks guys, this evening I start with sanding the slats, when that's done I will fix the tail and nose on the body, update later with new pictures😉

Augieooo gimme a seat... make sure to do the pilot standing rubbing his ass...

Bill GilmanHe sure did, but they weren't carrier landings. The F7U was notorious for causing back injuries to pilots when the front gear collapsed on landing, mostly carrier landings. The resulting impact would sometimes drive the top of the strut into the bottom of the ejection seat. Ouch.

Bill GilmanHave a look here, plenty of barrier crashes, collapsed gear and inadvertent ejections:

AugieQuite correct bill, if i recall correctly from an artical i read by him. It was a carrier landing that did it.. The LSO had him cut power too high will see if i can find an scan the artical

Bill GilmanFrank, I was shocked the first time I saw the seat and pilot ejected from the plane when the front gear collapsed. How awful! 🙁
