Default RE: Has the quality of Fly Eagle jets improved?

My opinion is that FEJ has improved from what I've seen two years ago. Had it not, I would not have bought a plane from them. However, it seems as though they have traded one problem for another. 2 years ago the main issue was quality of construction and their landing gear. For large models the gear never worked. Reps say they would work online, but I was at the same jet events where the gear were down the entire time. Now the issue is their methods for using honeycomb, which in their large jets might become more catastrophic than in smaller planes. FEJ has stated that the current jets are fine, but how about having some good pilots fly them like they would a BVM, Skymaster, or CARF plane for a season and let's see how they hold up.

Oh and they offer a light kit now...
