Looks great, will have to wait a year to afford it probably. Loving the F75 so far, but it has not flown. I will admit to picking it up from time to time just to feel the solid heft of it. Will not admit to dancing with it.

Nice! I hope this is as competitively priced as the smaller versions. What are the tube lengths?
 
Awesome; another great deal! My F75 is being upgraded to DD, the F98 will make an excellent big brother! Love the Formula line!

Dang it all. Just when I get my spending under control you dangle this in front of me! And in orange too! All my screwdrivers and prybars are orange handled, so this is really temping. The pre-pack part is interesting too.

No Problem Darrin, I have a feeling this kit is going to turn into allot of peoples workhorse rocket.
 
That's a nice rocket family, and they surely look like they would be some good workhorse rockets.

Are there any plans for DD configurations for the Formula 75 and 54, maybe even with the motor mount increased to the next size?

No plans to make the 54 & 75 DD, It definitely can be done but its not really their intended uses.
 
Still anxiously waiting for it to appear....


[refresh, wait 10 seconds, refresh ....]



I feel like I'm waiting outside the Apple store for the next iThingy to be released.
 
I REALLY want one, but then I realized that I can't afford or even legally purchase any motor that it would fly well on. Oh well, only three more years!
 
Is the combo currently available? Didn't see a link on the web site.

Thanks.
 
Stan:
I think the Combo Packs will be listed by the end of the week.

I should have finished pics of my Formula 98 up by Monday night or so, First flight will be at Red Glare on a CTI 4G K940WT, Looking at around 5800'.

How far into the year before you think we may see some of the new scale kits from PR? I would like to see some by the Fall flying season. MWP10 is the 1st weekend of Nov.
Thanks

I guess Wildman will have to go cheaper than $99 for his 4" kits on Black Friday, as this one is $99 all the time!
