Default Carf f4

Is there any links to the monster CARF F4 set to debut at NALL. I only seen a pic on a cell phone thing was massive around 100lb?

Thanks for reply, YT vid exactly what I needed no FB here........
I'd have to say that a half dozen ole sckool BVM's in the sky running 200mph sorties off the horizon was impressive as well. Whats the odds more than one of these fill the skies at once?

Saw this bad boy fly yesterday at Joe Nall. It is totally spectacular. Detail was amazing. A little pricy so I could only afford 1 plus a spare at $35k each.

I can’t believe they didn’t install a drogue chute. Surely there’s enough space for one back there.

I know it has a chute, I saw it in the maiden video before they left for the states.

There is one, they were having problems getting it to fully open when they deployed it at JOC.

I finally had to realize that the chute button has to be hit a few feet above runway on approach. With this technique it always opened for me on my F4
