Default NCR F-117 Nighthawk - ships July 15

NCR is proud to present the "F-117 Nighthawk Boost Glider! This bird will ship no later than July 15 to customers who pre-order now. List price is $117.00.

In 1996, Estes planned to release flying version of the F-117 Nighthawk; it was even featured on the cover of the new products brochure that year. It never made it to market, but I always liked the design.

A few years ago, I went back to the original designer, Dave Meyers, and asked him to update it for NCR. Three years of hard work later, here it is!

It requires good modeling skills and a lot of sanding, but I suspect most everyone on this forum will be able to build it without a problem.

No - sorry.
The blog builds are mostly LPR.
I've known Matt Steele for years. His kits and accessories are top notch!

This is a free-flight glider, not an RC glider.
