| I seem to recall someone offering up that the Grace is a good plane for IXO. Does anyone know if you have the option of Torpedo/No Torpedo? If it does come with a torpedo, is the torpedo and bay moulded open, or do we have the option of open or closed? (I'm concerned that the bay would be moulded open similiar to their multi-engine landing gear. The moulded open gear on the planes that I have just looks way to "cheaply" done for my taste. I do understand that IXO wil be the only company doing this plane, but it really is a deal breaker for me.) |
Can't speak to your other questions but I do have the Altaya version of the Grace. You have the option for fitting the torpedo or leaving it off. If it is one you can not use the stand. The bay is moulded shut as the Grace carried the torpedo externally (see this photo:

Like all the Altaya models I have the landing gear are very weak. I haven't got around to gluing them in and until I do that the plane will not stand on its gear. Mine is stand mount right now. Haven't got around to photographing mine either.
