Now that's what I'm talking about....
This plane is officially on "the list"

And it has the benefit of having nothing to do with Queque Somenzini (aka the only guy at horizon who is allowed to work). Which probably means I can afford it.
Looks like fun ;D

And the link to the RCG thread that will have all the details.

The details look good. A little more room a little more wing area.
Very cool.
Any idea on price, I wonder what the cost differential would be between this, and a real F5D ship like a Sunracer would be?
Word is priced around $160 us. So like 120 off a sun racer and locally available.
The quality of the gen1 Rifle was a good value and I hope the bigger one comes out at least that good. Reports are that some of the issues have been resolved.
As for replacing a F5D airframe......

Thanks for the link, ok looks like if I'm buying new then Rifle 1M it is :)
Flew the original today, with a mostly overcast sky and frozen fingers it's really getting hard to see and fly!
