Default RE: FlyEagleJet F-15 disintegrated in the air - WARNING

ORIGINAL: Jeti

Hello,

my name is Uwe, I am 38 years old and wanted to ask whether someone can help me.

...

The balsa wood Verkastung in the wing is made of 2mm at the end of Holmes on four blots glue.

What do you say?

...

Gruß Uwe

Yep, I would say, "been there, done that" [:@] and I posted the warning and my fix on the FEJ 1/9th F-15 build thread ([link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=8950315]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=8950315[/link])

Fortunately, mine happened on the ground so I didn't loose the airplane. Sorry for your loss.

I have no idea if the newer stuff that FEJ is putting out is better, but the F-15, F-16, Rafale, etc. are really bad construction and not worth even the discounted price you pay for them. Buyer beware...
