Default Fei Bao Jets Dolphin build thread by RCISFUN
This will be my build thread for the new Fei Bao Sport jet, the Dolphin

In this thread I will attempt to cover the building sequence and the design of internal mounting components that I made during the assembly of this great model.
Additionally I have been asked by the factory to write the manual.


I starting working on this model in the beginning of May for a couple of evenings a week and have been photo documenting my work as I proceeded. I designed all of the internal mounting parts in AutoCAD and have forwarded to the factory for inclusion into the production model.

Drawings will include fuel tank mountings, two nose mounted battery boxes, UAT mounting, mounting plates for servo connections and a balancing fixture.

I will start off with photos of the completed model, specification of the various parts and then start posting my build sequence.

The model has just been test flow by three competitive pattern pilots, Jim Hiller, Lewis Patton and Joe Stek. The feedback from these three gentlemen was unanimous, FB Jets has a winner on their hands.
