So is the FM ARF project still making any progress?

Or did something go terribly wrong with the prototypes that Don received, and the project got set way back? Or maybe cancelled it?

I read in some threads there was a short kit floating around, true or not ? I would gladly take a s/kit until the ARF's arrive, what is the possibility? I never wanted a kit so much so here goes...I want one..I want one...x's a whole bunch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for a reply! Joe

This is Don's baby...and he needs his cut of the deal. Maybe get permission from him before you go selling copies of his BLOOD AND SWEAT!!

I'm just saying.......

Condor logged into RCU yesterday afternoon, but didn't post an update to this thread.

I've got to admit that the future of the FM ARF has me worried.................again.

This has obviously become a joke, which is unfortunate because it is a fantastic airplane, kudos to Don, and thanks for a wonderful design, but seriously folks......

Not sure what went wrong, but it's looking like the Flying Machine ARF project has died........again.

It' not some sort of "right" to be informed of the progress by this private business who is working on this item to sell. This stuff isn't cheap nor easy, so step back, take a deep breath, and let them work on this. Heckling, jabbing, making supposition, etc doesn't help nor speed things up or change the end result.

Would have to respectfully disagree with your assertion. Promises have been made, personal info given to this person, updates have been given by this person. To say its none of our business, please, thats kind of arrogant on your part. If you cant see that, you need to re-examine your attitude post haste.

You're right on !!  except for the guys who have put their money up to own this FM ARF !! //  Silence on Condors part is not good business, nor does it help with future projects they may have. //  Me personally, my heart goes out to Don Muddiman (my best friend) who has tried his best for at least 20+ years to get this plane on the market by large company's only to be blown off that there really isn't a demand for these high speed Aerobatic planes. Mean while watching Manufactures very qiuckly produce V-Tail junk, copy cat attemtps, Foam crap etc., VERY frustrating to say the least.  The truth is; they can put out a 1/4 scale or 1/3 scale plane for only 15.00 to 20.00 more using Chinese labor, ALOT more profit for sure, and only selling half as many. Believe me I know first hand !!  I have tried to get Great Planes, Horizon Hobby, Hobby Lobby,  etc. to ARF my Scream Machine Reaper Electric since 2009' , same story even after sending Videos, Plans, Templates, phone calls, etc. I gave up. !!  Don has much MORE patience than I do.

So I agree, BUILD it yourself if you want one , then YOU WILL BECOME a MASTER BUILDER and use that knowledge on all your next projects. Stop complaining and get to work. !! The King of Scream thanks to DON M. !!

Status: offline 		How about licensing the plans to smaller kit manufacturers like AK-Models in Iowa City, IA. I've met Alex personally, he gave me the tour when I picked up a kit from him in the past, he has a computerized lazer cutter and even cuts his own balsa stock. I'm sure he would be happy to have the business.

To be honest, there is probably a small market for this kit and to get a large manufacturer involved with it is a tough sell. Maybe a smaller manufacturer or kit cutter can make a small volume venture work.

Just a thought.

I absolutely dis-agree with you!! First off, there has been NO heckling, jabbing or making any supposition concerning the FM ARF. We have the highest regard for Don, and what it takes to make this process successful........BUT, as the end user of this product, you know....THE CUSTOMER, we have every right to be informed of the progress!! Without us, SOMEONE GETS STUCK WITH THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, IN A NOWHERE PROJECT!!

So Tweek.......even if you are one of the two investors, I suggest that you remember this...The Customer is ALWAYS right, so you should keep your insults to a minimum!!

I agree , I hope Condor reads this;  Don Muddiman has the most loyal followers I've ever seen with any product, and if anybody EVER gets the FM on the shelves of Hobby Shops across the U.S.A., they will fly off the shelves FAST !!. //  Just in our small Club there would be at least 6+ sales right now, and everywhere I go people ask me about WHEN will Don's plane be out. !!?? ( that covers all of Central Florida ) pretty much. I fly every where from Daytona Beach to Ocala, to Mullberry Laleland, RCACF Orlando, etc.
 So please respond !!   If the FM comes out it won't matter what the price is !!  Trust me !!  I talk to guys all over !!  Just look at the prices on ALIGN Helicopters because they're the best, it doesn't matter if it's 400.00 or 1100.00, GET ME ONE is the attitude. !! /////  WELL ??  there is NO OTHER PLANE out there that you can unleash yourself on and become a super great pilot except the Flying Machine !!  Do you really think the price matters. !!??  Heck NO !!  Folks want a plane they can advance with, NOT blow the wings off of in a heart beat. !!  Right now that market is wide open and has been since at least 1970s. !!  Please FILL IT ASAP. !! ////  if you're not then say so. !! ///  Screamrp - The King of Scream
