True this one shud be the fire breathing Funjet ka Baap
With 27 lbs of thrust will be a blast, the fun jet I think evolved from the skywalker
The kit is from skygate , now taken over by Composite Arf

Beautiful machines Nandan. Simply breathtaking. But something in the pics got me thinking........ who is the second pilot? Would you be having trials for the selection process?  ;D. I just can't stop myself from going back and seeing the pics again and again.

Great job.
