Join me on an epic journey as I unveil our next project...a scratch-build that in fact started about 5-years ago! In light of recent events (fairwell B-58😥) it was time to revive this 80mm EDF F4D Skyray project and get her flown and all dressed up for the ball! Watch as we take it to the skies for its first flights and share some of the details of the project. I'll have even more detail on the project as well as feature all of the detail and finish work in a coming video, so stay tuned! Thank you to Brock Slagle from Blue Sky Filmworks for his help behind the camera.

A big thank you to  @hechtspeed  for helping get this in primer for me before our move!
