This the Prowler alongside my well worn DerJET Vampire and Cougar, this is a good size jet.

Main body of the Prowler fits nice on the work table, most of the build is here.

Good looking nose gear, servo is mounted on the strut for positive steering.

The main gear is mounted solid, and is setup to rotate 90 degrees as it fits up into the wheel well, all the gear doors are included in the kit.

Nose gear strut doors use a simple flat hinge, bolted directly to the plywood side plates, straight forward air cylinder install with a 1/4" basswood spacer added to former.

The small clearance cut along the hinge line is for tire clearance, as it rotates it really does move outward that far.

The door rib was hitting the tire during the retraction cycle so had to remove one rib, this is why next time I would move the hinge line out 1/8"

Final install of main gear wheel well went well, note the large gap at hinge line required for gear door to clearance in open position, another reason to move the hinge line out 1/8"

Roll control is with spoilers, and large almost full span flaps, this will be my first model airplane experience with spoiier roll control, keeps life fun.

Flap and spoiler servos mount in a nice servo pocket, provide control linkages are rod ends at servo end, pretty clean but fiddly adjusting linkage in this tight spot, but all worked out well.

Air cylinder to move the speed boards install was straight forward, the air lines were already installed and ready to hookup to the air cylinder, small pocket but easy install.

Servo bay hatch for Rudder and Elevator servos is located underneath, nice large opening for easy work.

How's this for plenty of room, a two story servo bay, upper servo is the rudder servo, cables to rudder, and lower is the elevator servo, using an almost 700 in-oz. servo.

How's this for some twisted tailpipes, "S" pipes turn out to the sides then angle back aft, pretty nifty setup.

The recceiver is located at the aft end of the cockpit bay, buried between the inlets. I don't yet have a gyro installed, but you know it is coming, just not before the test flight. Still need to tidy up this mess of tubing and wires, but not too bad for initial install.

Up front is reserved for the heavy stuff, that tray weighs 4 pounds 10 ounces, just batteries and PowerPacks. The yellow batteries are Jet Central supplied 3c LiFe 2100 mah for the turbines, and blue are 2c Lipo 2200 mah for the radio.

Just realized, that's four seats to fill, need pilot and crew for this bird, time to start a search.

How about four ejection seats, I'm going to need a pilot and 3 crew to fill these pits.
