From the website, "...the F-117 settles into a fast glide." I wonder, how fast?

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.

Ordered! This looks like a lot of fun.
