Default In-Flight A-20 Demon

I just bought the A-20 Demon clone from In-Flight rocketry. (Got in on Ebay). I know some folks will say it's just another 3FNC, but I consider this one a classic. I was worried though. The key "feature" on the Demon (keeping in mind it was first released way back in the fall of '71) was the silver foil body wraps. Would the clone have the wraps, or some sort of silvery decal instead? Good news - the kit has the foil wraps!! Kudos to In-Flight for a faithful reproduction!

On another note - are they still in production? Their website never seems to work.... I hope so! Otherwise, I guess this belongs in the kit collecting section.

Sadly Inflight is no longer in business. There is nothing wrong that the A-20 is a 3FNC because it meant something to you. Enjoy your Demon!

The A-20 Demon is a 4FNC, not 3FNC.
I built two of them; the In-Flight one and the one from PDR.
Flies nicely on C11's in smaller fields. Gets way up there on a D12 or E9.

Awfully picky for a "no rules" advocate. But, yes, 4FNC.

Actually, it's not that he is a"no rules advocate", he is actually more like an anarchist.

Actually I'm more of a MY rules advocate.
I can't ever seem to find any career openings for my chosen field of "Benevolent Monarch" or "Perpetual OVERLORD" though....
