Ok, Raf and I have worked out a deal on the F-14 HC version. Just trying to figure out how to ship it at the moment.
I think this process will be beneficial for all FEJ owners, but even more beneficial for FEJ. I am happy to provide them with a list and images of all the deficiencies noted, I will also provide them with suggested methods of correction IF they are willing to listen and incorporate. They haven't been willing in the past... I wont waste my time if they are not willing to acknowledge their faults and take action.
The purpose of this process, for me, is to show what things are being done wrong which can cause failure of an airframe. The details are being sought so current FEJ owners understand the extent of the deficiencies hidden by skin.

I want to be clear.... I have nothing against FEJ personally; I consider many of the FEJ representatives in the USA as good friends. Lowell, James, Eddie, Nir.... They are all wonderful, passionate modelers that would bend over backwards to help any one of you regardless of brand!
I have expressed my concerns to FEJ in the past regarding their construction materials, methods and quality. By doing so, I believe some affiliated with the company felt as if I was making unfounded attacks. For me, there were two major concerns... First and foremost; Safety! I have been adamant that these airframes are dangerous and sooner or later, we will have a disaster on our hands. In-Flight structure failure usually results in some high energy impact. Second; consumers are sinking hard earned dollars into aircraft that have a very low success rate of lasting more than a year or two and losses extend beyond just airframe due to the high energy impacts.
The more manufacturers on the market the better as far as i'm concerned. More selections, better pricing and more hobbyist drawn to this segment. Everything I would want as a business owner which caters to the Jet market. However, Airframes manufactured with such deficiencies are extremely dangerous to the hobby as a whole. If one of these airframes comes apart and flies into a ''bus full of nuns'' (sorry, vintage RCU guys will get this one) it could end the hobby as we know it.... For you, a hobby goes away.... For me, its a livelihood! We need to be pro-active in minimizing risk across the board; we are being watched closely, now more than ever! We all need to join forces in protecting the hobby before its too late! Glade to see this movement started, sad to see FEJ still just does not get it []
