With FeiBao F100's already flying I would be inclined to say the Xtreme Arf version should be ok considering the molds are the same - but I could be wrong.

If you check back issues of RCJI, the prototype FeiBao was reviewed in the Aug/Sep 2011 and Oct/Nov 2011 issues. The only real problem mentioned was the stab pivot position seemed off. Considering this prototype article was in 2011 I assume that was corrected by now.

With that said, I agree with most here that I would not want to spend the $ until I see one fly. Hopefully Xtreme Arf will provide some flight info, pics, vids shortly. One thing I did notice at JOK was the cheap tailpipe, but I see Billy D already noted that in his post above.

I see there's a FeiBao for sale here now... http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=995429

I also found this flight video... http://youtu.be/e5oHVpjQZxE
Sc0tt,

A simple confirmation of this info, directly from the mfg, would seem appropriate at this time. Niki, Mr Ye, I notice you are on this thread currently. How about a prompt response to questions/issues mentioned?
