Default RE: FEJ Announcement

David,
Yea...I remember...you and I each bought one of the first batch of 10 of the 1/7 F-18's. Man, they were heavy! It took full throttle with my Rhino to keep it in the air!!! I was sitting at Liberty Bell Jet Rally in PA that year, flying a SM F-4 and Kingcat at the time, when Eric Clapp came over to me and told me about this new company that was all about making larger airframes. Man, I flew the mongo out of that airframe for two years once I got a bigger engine for it!

All the delivery times I was ever given and even the guys I built for, were within a week of when promised. It's not been that way lately for everyone but maybe they are catching up now...a buddy of mine is getting his F-4 in right at the end of 14 weeks. Got pics yesterday and it ships when they get his final payment.

Dantley,
I understand your position and respect it but my personal experience and a few friends of mine also, did not receive any customer care on some airframe issues that were known problems after total losses of airframes. My experience was over three years ago but a particular buddy lost a large Viper a year ago and received just a small discount offer, even after admitting they knew there was a problem with the vertical fin and rudder structure.

So, as you are, I am speaking from personal experience of other manufacturers too.
