There is no doubt that you can finish the assembly and gear installation and have the Lightning
ready to fly in 3 - 4 days, and we did this just to check it was possible. Virtually all you have to
do is install your R/C, landing gear and turbine and go and punch some holes in the sky.
For sure this has to be the most prefabricated large-scale jet you can get for your $$ !
