BTC,
I love your flying in the 2nd and 3rd videos; very scale like, especially the landings, nose high.
Inverted flying seems stable but speed bled off very quickly in inverted climbing turns and outside loop. What impresses me the most is the all metal, servo less retracts. The retract mechanism is the best I have seen in this price range. I am tempted to get the jet for the retracts alone. Where can I get more info about this EDF jet? There isn't a lot of info on Easy Tiger. Is it available from any other distributor/retailer? How much for a PNP version?
Who's the actual manufacturer? What type of foam is the airframe made of, EPS, EPO or SEPO? Is it fairly durable?
Many questions, hope you can help. Thanks.

Many questions hopefully answered. :-)
1. More info can hopefully be answered on the RCGroups thread. It seems to be a lot more popular than the one here for some reason. There is 3 of us with this plane so far so you can get 3 different opinions of it.But I'll help you the best that Ican. :-)
2. For now, no other U.S.A distributors for this plane. There is a couple of distributors outside of the USA but they are prohibited to ship to us.
3. The PNP is $279.00. It doesn't come anyother way. But the servos seem to be pretty good quality. 9G TowerPro servos
4. Actual manufacturer from what Iunderstand is a new player to the market. This is their very first jet. If thats true, its a definite home run for them!
5. Foam is EPS, but the wings are reinforced with glass rods.
6. Durability? Extremely durable. The landing gear doesn't quiver on landing at all.
If you have any more let me know. You won't be disappointed in this plane. Its well worth the money!

Hi turbinefancy, I'll help however Ican. :-) There are other distributors of the airplane. For a while it was only ETM, but the others are located outside of the US. One guy bought the airframe only to find out that it doesn't have the landing gear. I would definitely buy the ARF and not the airframe only. There isn't a lot of info floating out there on this plane. I'm basically it. There is a thread on RCG where about 4 to 5 of us have this plane. They all love it. Thisisn't a PNP as you need your own battery. I don't think that it is offered as a PNP either. Just get yourself a 4s2200mAh lipo. Get a high C rating to ensure that the lipo doesn't puff. Its aperfect fit but if the lipo swells, goodluck getting it out of the plane. Its near impossible to get it out. The ARFversion is $279 Ibelieve. I'm just going off of memory.
For the actual manufacturer. From what I understand, this is there first plane that they are offering. They definitely hit a home run. But I'm not sure who they are.
I believe that teh airframe is EPS, but an extremely durable EPS. The nose is a little soft, but not bad. ALSO, Iforgot, this plane has a ton of potential. The wings have rods that run through them for support.
Hope this helps.

Upgraded my lipos to 45c 4s 2200mAh . AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also good to note.... There are no cheaters on this plane. In stock form this plane on a level fly hits about 70mph. With an upgraded motor like say the MB1, its doing easily over 100mph! STILL Runnning STrong!
