Do you own a Jet Central product?
I guess not - if you did then you would not be concerned obout these things! The ones I own outclass many others (personal comment) and as such I would have no hessitation in advance ordering a FLEA.
The development has taken place over several years - its been flying for 6 months - with the backup and design resources available for this manufacturer it has to be a winner. Putting it in the market too early in the development cycle can do untold harm. Lets face it - they are testing the market and this will eventually help set the standards / price / performance characteristics. There is a lot of interest here from modellers not currently in the jet set.
This is not to knock other manufactureres - just stating the facts - each has a place in the marketplace and it is up to us to select.
I have had a good experience with the Artes range - so no waiting for me!
I own turbines from 4 manufacturers - ALL top quality items in their class - any turbine manufacturer who screws up by unrealistic claims or poor merchandise will lose ground very quickly.
Why not buy a Bee, FALCON or a RHINO and get a first hand experience - this may well give you the confidence to pre-order one too.
