Not too concerned about the construction of the model, as I believe Dirk and Barry are not going sell anything that doesn't meet their standards. More interested in scale appearance and certainly flight characteristics.
Hi David,
Like Digital Pilot said, This is a 3D version plane that is built light and does not have all the scale details you would expect for a scale plane. I talked to the factory and they can get us close to Scale gear and they are looking into some kind of Cockpit. If they provide a cockpit, it will be a basic type cockpit and not a true scale cockpit as this was intended to be a very large, Very light, Very fun, 3D plane. At this time, they are not going to build new molds for a true Scale Rafale.
Aviation Jets is not affiliated with Skyaviation, Aviation Design, FEJ, or any other Aviation whatever company, they are a stand alone company and their quality is absolutely fantastic!! This company was started by some employees of other big name companies, that ventured off on their own and brought Expert Building, Design & Painting skills to the table. Like you had mentioned in this thread, Barry & myself would not partner up with a company unless they produce TOP QUALITY planes, PERIOD!!
The SU-35 is coming along and is very scale, the attention to detail, that you can see below and more pictures on our website is very good. Stay tuned, as the price is going to be nothing like you would expect to pay!! This plane should be released this summer, Hopefully, fingers crossed.
I am also very excited to announce that we have another New plane coming out in Spring called the Sparrow. This plane was designed by our very own, Mr. Barry Hou and brought to life with the collaboration of Mr. John Yi from Aviation Jets. The Sparrow is a 2.1M Sport Jet with a 1.9M wing span. This plane has a very unique design and is nothing like anything already built. I am also happy to say the price point should be VERY attractive along with a standard light kit installed and Split fuel / Smoke tank. You can find more details about it on our website
