It would be a shame if this project would be canned for financial reasons. This is an exciting new jet-fighter, and deserves to be flown in DCS: World.
If Beczl can produce a MiG-21 from $15.000,= raised by Kickstarter (original pledge: $13.000,=), I'm sure the F-35 can take off for $30.000,= raised and participation of Beta testers (with the creative part of the fan community providing missions).
