DREAM IS OVER
[sm=thumbs_down.gif]
I think more tahn one thought that Fly Eagle Jets will be the dream of all of us... A good product for a rasonable price.
THERE IS NO MORE DREAM!
I am a jet flyer and I was condsidering buying one of these jets, but I was following the growth of the company and I am very disappointed.
They adopted the same philosophy and marketing tactics as other companies playing with demand.
Prices are increasing almost every month.
Those prices were introductory prices because they keep releasing new products, now you are *****ing because they are bringing the prices up ? I can't even understand how they manage to make a profit selling those kits at those prices. Just take the scale landing gears of the advanced f-16 and bring it to your local machine shop and ask them how much to make 250 of them you'll understand how cheap those kits are. The standard f-16 is 1250$, cheaper than most 35% prop ARFs. Obviously if you think 1250$ for a kit like this is too much then you need to go back to .40 sized glow models. No need to cry here that there is NO MORE DREAM! because they are raising the introductory prices...
Here here. Would you rather they keep their prices low, not make any profit at all, go broke, close the factory and then you lose all the support for existing customers and go back to paying much more for less by their competitors????? As mentioned now a few times. Go back to high wing prop planes and the DREAM will return!
