A lot of guys have asked for more information on flight testing, we have only seen two videos of very gentle and reserved flying. In the last video there is one full throttle pass with a gentle pull up. If you look closely when the jet taxis out you can see the stabs moving around a lot.
Are there any videos of static testing of the stabs or any other flight test videos of the model really being put through its paces, and how many flights has the proto type done?
I have too many friends who have wasted money on Fly Eagle models that have failed.
I was interested in one of these, but lack of testing has forced me look at other manufacturers.
Pity you guys don't listen to your customers requests for more information.

I understand your concern very well, unfortunately there are no more videos since November, because it is off season in USA (where the jets are it is snow time now) and they are not flying, but they will attend at Florida Jets and t I am sure they will take a lot of videos, also a lot of customers are to receive their jets next week so you will see lots of them flying and videos will be taken.
Regarding the information, all of question asked here on the thread, was answered by them or by me when I see that I can help and have the knowledge to do it, any question that you have you can contact them, me or Billy D and I am sure that we will have an answer. Now they will be close for the Chinese new year ( I do not know the dates ) but usually February is a wasted month so new F100 orders is programmed to be delivered between July and August.

I believe what everyone is asking for are the ORIGINAL testing videos. Not new video. It was posted that two models had been tested.
If no videos exist, just say so. If testing prior to Jims flights was not done by the factory, just say so. If a static load test of the wing was not done, just say so.
If if testing was done, as has been claimed, it would be nice to see the results of those tests.

HI Al, This is the reason you all have not seen any new videos of the F-100. I'm in Ohio and we will have 2 more months of this yet
Thanks Billy D

F-100 Arrives Today
My F-100 arrived today in great shape! DHL delivered without even scratching the box (LOL)! The plane was packed very well, and I'm happy they took the time to do it right! The "Hun" is a "Big Boy;" just what you need when you get older (LOL)! It was shipped with a very nice manual, and that should make things proceed well. Really looking forward to the build, and many thanks for a very nice airplane.
Thanks,
Lewis

My F-100 got here today and as well. Lewis is right the HUN is big. DHL called in the AM and asked me if he could drop it first , He said the box was taking up half his truck one hour later it was there with out a mark on the box. 10 mins after getting it in the door, Billy D sent a Tex asking if I got it and what I thought about it. That is custom service, Thanks Billy your the man.

WowThat's all I can say from the moment I opened the box.Everything from this plane being delivered on schedule to the customer service that Billy provided.The planes paint job is one of the best I've ever seen in the detail is great.The construction inside with all the carbon fiber is very nice in the plane fits together perfectly.I'm looking forward to seeing some more video of the bigHUN flying at Florida Jets.Thanks again Billy and Wagner
