Default China Flyboy Models?

Anyone had any experience with China Flyboy Models? They are producing an F-15 ARF that closely resembles the Great Planes 40 size prop jet kit that was discontinued a few years ago. Saw photos of the model on Ebay, looks pretty good but????????

Good question , I have bid on that plane many times, cant win !!!!! lol , it looks good and sound from the pics and the ebay seller seems to have good reviews . I dont want to payover $99 for the plane with shipping that way I feel the risk is reduced

While you guys are lusting over this plane, go take a look at the Raidentech thread in the clubhouse. Then decide if that's the kind of business you want to give your money to.

Chuck I hear you , I did just get lucky on a CMP hellcat knock off .
I figured if I could get it for under $70 bucks , I know that the shipping was $55 , I knew 100% what my risk to benift was with the ebay seller ect ect . So I figured baring a non shipment or a totally crushed plane or missing parts , I would take a chance but it had to be purchased under $70 .
well to my surprise -I was shipped in under 10 days , it was packed exactly like my CMP P40 that I paid $270 , it was a very high quality plane 70" span delivered !!!

I dont play the lottery , smoke or drink so I can gamble on a plane knowing 100% what I am getting into with the hope that I have the modeling skills to fix anything bigger then a ding !
If you dont go into the on line buys with open eyes then you will be burnt .
