Default RE: Has Anyone flown a Fei Bao Jet?? Love to hear from you.

Around here we had:
1. new F86 crash due to incorrect elevator stab incidence from factory (only later discovered) - a new model was provided from FB.
2. New Hawk second flight, crashed on a full speed low pass due to what appers to be a tail plane takeover, it just nosed in and splattered.
3. new MB339 second flight total loss of control = total lost crash and huge explosion - dont think its FB's fault but the fuse did become flexible when warm (turbine running).

outside of Israel i heard abiut the F-86 with delaminated wing, the flutter with the Rafale (saw a video) and a few more problems.

overall, a really bad record, thats scary stuff ! i think i will not be getting FB any time soon. at least until they work the bugs out.
