A lot of people are still buying from FEJ without know all the history, if you are looking for some help to get your model air worthy and flyable some people have been very successful with fej models after doing mods. fejs f-14 is a good flying jet if you address the issues, a few people have posted threads on the improvements you will need. EDFJim did a nice job on modding his stabs, which includes the changing to a better shaft position to avoid flutter. B1Bob has molds to make brand new stabs, and the mod to improve the swing wing from flexing. All are pretty simple to do, I have a couple mods I did on my f-14 as well. Here is my thread just look on page 2 http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-j...-thread-2.html

As far as I know the only person still doing business with them stateside is Nir from www.nirlybuilt.com, he maybe able to get you replacement parts if needed.
How would you know if the F-14 is a good flying jet? You've never flown one. EDFJim's F-14 was completely redesigned by Jim and no longer qualified as a plane made by FEJ. Let's just be real here and stop blowing smoke. It has gotten old.
