FEJ Tornado
I am close to pulling the trigger on a FEJ Tornado. Does anyone have any feedback, good bad or indifferent. How does if fly? take off and landing characteristics. Any build quality issues that need to be addressed? Thanks in advance Paul.

RE: FEJ Tornado
Paul, no build issues at all with it. It flew great. The only thing is you have to cut the throws WAAAAAY back when the wings are swung back. It gets very sensative. Other than that it's a great looking and flying plane. Take off and landings were a breeze and very predictable. Let me know what I can do to help.
Thanks Fender.

One guy in our club has one. Turned out heavy for it's size. It flew OK but could be a bit of a handful in certain circumstances.. If they use the new construction it could be OK as it would be much lighter. One thing to avaoid is transiting the gear in a turn, doesn't like it!
Fantastic looking model though.
