Smoke in this configuration of airframe is a pain in the a**e, because of the tail and booms being in the exhaust you get an oily mess all over the back that needs to be constantly wiped off, even then it drips onto the floor of your car from parts you have missed, its surprising how much oil gets inside the servo covers after a while and contaminates the surrounding wood, just a heads up for those that have not done it before.

jetwash, I do hope you have access to one. LOL

Status: offline 		Thats Awesome to hear I have purchased stuff from them before to ship to me here and they are like the Brazil Tower Hobbies.  Also I have 12 flights on my new V3 and I must say it flies like it is on rails and performs awesome.  I am planning to head to Honduras for the Iguana Cup and burn some holes there with my V3 with P100.  I have never radared the airplane but it has to be pushing 220mph becuase it keeps up with my sons Bandit with no problem.  Great Job Henry keep up the great work.

Status: offline 		Henry was very unprofessional with me on my V3.  Had 2 small issues with the kit.  Email'd Henry with problems and he told me if I did not like his product or service send the plane back and he would give a refund in a very sarcastic note.  He has lost a turbine purchase and landing gear.  Very disappointed with him.

Status: offline 		I called you 3 times to get your info but you were busy or in meetings so I stoped I have over 100 people that want airplanes and it is unfair to them that I am chasing after you for a plane that I can give to somebody that wants one and is ready at that moment to buy one.  If that is wrong then I guess that I am wrong and you can tell the 100+ people on waitlist for the plane that they cant have one becuase I had to wait for you.

Status: offline 		 Well from my opinion Henry is a stand up guy and gives excellent customer service. He always answers the phone day or night and goes above and beyond to get things done. I ordered a V3 upgrade kit and he called me telling me that they would not be in so he refunded my money and one week later I get a knock on the door from FedEx and there it was.  I called and told him that I recieved the upgrade and he told me that it must have been a mistake since they are so busy it must have shipped by accident but not to worry and keep it and he do not even ask for money.

Status: online 		Henry,

You are wrong for that reply. You did not have to wait for me. I simply told you I was in a meeting and for you to send me over a invoice and I would pay it right away and you never did and you never called me back. I have the text messages confirming that. You also told me that if I pay I would be number 120 in line for one, If I understood you right there was no longer a waiting list because you had an extra 7 according to your previous post. I'm not the only person that says your customer service is horrible. That Tornado that you shipped to GA belongs to a friend of mine and he also said that his experience with you was very unprofessional and your estimated delivery dates are not even close to actual dates.

But, as you always do, you blame the consumer for your mistakes and you don't accept negativity very well. From my very first call to you, you were very short and blunt with any questions I had about the plane as if you didn't feel like answer questions but just wanted my CC#.

Thanks but No Thanks, you can keep it.

For all you guys that say Henry is a stand up guy, wait until you have a problem or need parts! Good Luck! This is the same guy that couldn't even supply me with a engine mount let alone a wing or boom. Once the charge is made you can forget about customer service!

Good Luck Tornado Owners!

Henry and Alberto from Modellbau have helped us down here so much. They really do everything possible for us to get our products and help down here. This is my opinion for what it's worth

Status: offline 		Let me get this right, flame customer service yet you turn and buy a 3k jet. Why even bother coming here? Two sides to every story gentlemen. Air your laundry somewhere else.

I don't understand those who drive a BMW and complain about the high maintenance? Really? I take 40 mg of celexa to protect me from society. Lmao

IT'S amazing that I followed Henry's advice and my plane flys amazing. It also amazes me that all the issues posted here I haven't had....hmmm maybe because I take responsibility and read!? Built the plane to MY standards, and nothing has happened? My two collapse gear landings weren't because spring air, it was because the plate on the nose gear won't let you lock the nose unless you slow her down enough to reduce the pressure and drag. Jets 101 boys. It wasn't cables, spring air, or the blocks fault, I was just too fast to lock them. Gotta slow her down and they lock every time.

But wait, maybe I should complain and get a free fuse replacement? Or I can take accountability for my flying and slow down...


Hmmmm wonder what I should do????


Henry, can I have free fuse since I can't slow down and build my plane?

Status: offline 		Just got word my V3 arrived! I emailed him at 9pm last week to see if he had any left. He said he had 1 more in the Navy scheme and sent me his number. I called him right away to order. Can't wait to get home from my business trip tomorrow and take a look. I didn't even want to mess around.....I ordered the whole package with a K80 kero from Henry and will build per his directions. I can't believe people complain about some loose formers and such. For what you get overall, it's a darn good deal! You can replace the whole airframe for a lot less than what a lot of other companies charge you to replace just a fuse.

Status: online 		You know, i'm am so tired of hearing people talk about this and comparing the price of this jet with others. And saying its ok that the formers are loose. It its not. It is advertised as a jet arf, not a jet 'kit'. If you are going to do something, then do it right our not at all. I mean how hard is it to have a fuse made and glue the damn formers in right? Now at V3 and its still no better. I have no problem gluing in formers, but some people do. Just because the jet is priced at a bargain doesn't give Modelbau the right to sell bargain quality.

Jeez, I need a break from RCU.....

Nice and neat install which eases maintenance and adjustment 

Nice to see the hinges pre cut and hinged on the V3

Couple of quid of hysol needed for the formers but really no big deal and easy to do
