Im flying a 1/8 FEJ F16 that fist flew in 2009. It has had landing gear issues but what F16 has not??? It is still alive and flying great with a pst1300. It did have a jetcat 120 but the rear bearing made noise and jet cat wouldn't sell parts to me, plus wanted $1200usd to service it.
It has over 90 hours total time including set up of the radio according to my radio. And I fly it like I stole it...
With the F16 experience amazing as it is made me buy the first A10 from FEJ.... Bad move... then a mate bought the large hawk from my recommendation from the F16.. Another bad move... He decided not to fly the Hawk so I bought it because I made him buy it. I strengthened the tail to stop it blowing off and some other little mods. On my 34th flight doing a touch and go on grass the nose gear former ripped out and tearing the nose off.... Cardboard Honeycomb sandwiched between single layers of carbon fibre... Then they wanted $700USD plus freight for a new nose. If it was ply formers it would of never of broken our of the fuse.......
