Default FEJ Customer Voting

Hi Guy`s

i stay in Mail-Contact with James from FEJ each Day. Sometimes he ask me which Model they shoud release as the next. I told him that i had no Idea what worldwide Customers want. After a few more Mails we have a great Idea. FEJ will do a Voting for the Customers "Most Wanted" Model. James ask me to work out the voting side for them. Now the Side is ready an i need your help...
Pls let me know which Models you want on the List to vote for them.

Regards Steven

F-111 would be cool
A6 Intruder
F-14 Tomcat
Vampire
Hunter


But mostly I would really like to see a 14lb thrust sport jet along the lines of a bandit.

I drew up this design a year ago now and haven't heard of any progress from the gentleman who was wanting to build it and make a mold. Something that would fly well on 14 to 18lbs of thrust max. Less fuel consumption in a tough package!

A large, single turbine SU27 - so many people want one, but they are either too much work or
made for 2 turbines, which makes it too much hassle... One that will take a P180 or similar!

F-14
SU-27
Mig-29
A-6
SR-71

To me the F-14 is the ultimate show stopper. I know one is on the board and I'm waiting.

FEJ jets are very well priced and in my opinion priced correctly with gear etc included. I think we need a low priced trainer that can run on a JetJoe 14# turbine so we can get more rc people into jets. Once you fly turbine there is no going back. Problem today is too many people are priced out of jets and that is a shame because if you can get kids into this hobby the hobby will grow and a growing the turbine side of the hobby means lower prices and better quality for all.

It looks very nice, but I have a hard time seeing how good the performance could be on 14lbs thrust. Thats bigger than my Super Bandit, after converting the measurements that's 82" long and a 63" span. It looks great, like a stretched bandit, but like I say, its not what I would consider a 14lb thrust jet. I'd like something closer to 68" to 70" long with a 63 or 65" span that would fly with jet performance on a PST600R or a P60. Something I could fit in my car instead of truck and trailer and get more than 3 flights out of a 2.5 gallon jug of Kero. I'm sure that one would sell very well, but there is nothing out there in the 14lb range in a conventional style sport jet that is a dedicated turbine jet at a reasonable price.
I've already got 3 larger jets with the Kingcat, Super Bandit and Razor, I'll go scale next big jet I get, but I'd love a small sport jet that has great looks. The old BVM stuff looks great, but it's been done, something that looks good and is original (hence my design idea) is where my $$ would go

rhallgarth, that was one other idea:

a trainer for everyone on a very low price for small engines, like a VW Beetle.

Think James and his crew can copy my "REVENGE" (Red ONE) and offer it in
a much smaller size for that small engines. Let me know which size is most wanted.

I prefer 1/7th scale, but from what I've noticed, if you were to make two sizes, say a 1/7th and a 1/10 or 1/9th you would hit a larger part of the market.

What do you guys think about two sizes on the revenge ...

Length 82,5" - Span 62,9"

and

Lenght 66,2" - Span 50,5"

both on very low prices including all the stuff (retract, fuel cells, etc.)

If enough of you want one i talk to James again

I like that idea because you can fly the 1/10 using EDF or small turbines. I like the bigger planes because they are easier to follow and see in the air.

Make them in 2 colors. One all silver and the other camo and white. Make them very scale with armament. Suitable for 35-45lbs thrust.

Another great idea although with the power the EDF's from BVM, Tam, DS-94 HDT, the Dyn-E-Max, Stumax etc are producing most of the big jets could be airborne with twin EDF units. BVM's top ones are 21# plus as is Schuebler. There is a 140 mm fan that produces 28# static thrust.

http://www.ductedfans.com/Turbo_Fan_...edfanscom.html

two of those could get anything in the air.

The F105 is a great Idea, but it must be 110" long

Your right because 100" would only be around 50" wingspan. Longer the better. 110-120
