Gotta be something wrong with your PM account. I responded the very hour I received it. I will find my answer and send to you again.
Also, you may feel free to post in the Jet Engine Forum and I will address publically.

Mick & Mark,
When are your planes due?

F-15E

Length = 63.8 feet or 19.4 m
Wingspan 42.8 feet or 13.05 m
Height 18.5 feet 05 5.63m

1/7 scale

Length = 109.37 inches
Wingspan = 73.37 inches
height = 32.71 inches

FeiBao is 109, 74
FEJ is 109, 68

Gee why doesn't it surprise me FEJ wingspan is off by 5+ inches?????

FeiBao is basically dead on scale to within a fraction of an inche. Why doesn't that surprise me???

You had better ask Andy Sheldon.

My dad heard there was a shipment on Friday. Asked whether his was with this batch, but it is still being made. This is the same as when asked beginning December.
Nice considering he paid for it in October!

Laura,

Been dealing with James direct. Paid for early Oct and spoke to James today and he says a few more days before it's finished!

Cheers,
Mark

Laura H

Mark,
They said few more days middle of December when previously asked.
Im not sure whether the difference between days, weeks and months are known!

I'm kind of been looking into purchasing a F-15, am I missing something, I thought the FEJ and FEIBOA where one in the same.

Just been looking at some of the hardware, new pictures on the FEJ site, very impressive I like the push pull elevon control and the concealed rudder control, very nice.

I guess I was just looking at the tiger paint scheme and assumed they where the same but after looking at the dimensions of each, now I know. However, as it seems that the Feibao is relatively close in scale to the wing size, both are way off in fuse length, which should be roughly 119 1/2" unless they are measuring to a different area. Curious as to which one is of the better quality

1/1
Length = 69'9" measured from nose to trailing edge of stabilators
Wingspan = 42'10" measured wingtip to wingtip
Height = 18'8" measured ground to top of canopy

rhallgarth

I believe the fuselage length at approx 109 inches is correct. I would guess if the model is measured to trailing edge of stabilator will be approx 119 inches. If you look at both Avonds and yellows F-15s the length is dead on for the scale based on the figures I found.

Specifications from Fly Eagle site, just wondered why 109" was mentioned as the length?

http://www.flyeaglejet.com/

Flyeaglejet ARF F-15E 1:7 Scale

Length: 107" (2730mm)
Wingspan: 68' (1720mm)
Power: 36~45Lb (16~20kg) thrust
Radio: min. 8 ~ 12 Servos required

rhallgarth

I was incorrect earlier. According to Boeing these are the specs of the F-15E on following web page

http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/...5k/f15spec.htm

They match closely the ones I posted and I was wrong when assuming the fuse length was 109 inches. that is the length to end of stabilator. Not sure where you got 119 inches.

The FeiBai is dead on.

The FEJ is out to lunch on the wingspan

rhallgarth

You are correct about FEJ being 107. So it is 2 inches short and 5 inches off on length. Maybe it is not quite a 1/7 scale. That is not unusual.

viper16

F-15E strike eagle . com was where I got my numbers from, the 3-view stated 69'9" which was what I went by,but now looking at the printed text it states 63'9" other sites I went to stated 69'9" so that is what I thought was correct. My apologies! Gregr

rhallgarth

Gregr

Information is so different everywhere for these planes it gets confusing. Unless two of us got out there with a fracking tape measure as far as we know they could ALL be wrong.

I just want the F-15E i payed for before I turn totally gray or forget that I even ordered one.

Eagle Driver

Gents,

there is a mistake on the FEJ site .....
the wingspan is 72.835 " (1850mm)

lenght is 108.268 " (2750mm) with Elevators installed

thats a exact scale from 1 : 7,0500

we are sorry that we lost that 0.05 in scale, for that mistake and for the following discussions .....

THANK YOU for clearing this up. I am looking forward to the arrival of the F-15 so we can get this thread back on target.

Bill & Eric,

I'll be following right along with you! Mine will have twin Rhinos though. I think the F-15's got shipped today. I hope!

Eric, I'll be sending the Rhinos to the factory for matching next week!

OK OK OK...this thread is completely titled wrong. It should read: FEJ F-15 1/7th being built by Bill while Eric gets in the way".

Yep...that would be a more valid statement!

Bevar, he is good at handing me tools sometimes. He does sometimes come up with some good ideas. I have a list of his Ideas on a note pad in the shop. I will be building my FEJ F-18 at the same time so my shop will be full.
