You will indeed - those models are superlative pieces of model engineering!

Before micro jets became available, a colleague back in the 1970s was attempting to build a lightweight model Harrier complete with a ducted fan vectored thrust system. I don't know if he ever succeeded, but it was a brilliant effort nevertheless.

I wonder how well that F-104G model flies....?

I never progressed much beyond a Veron Robot powered by an OS Max II .15with 6-ch non-proportional 27Mhz radio - these models are from a whole different universe!
