I can't wait!!!!
I should have one in my garage within the next couple weeks. Looking forward to the build. One of my favorites!

Looks like it flys great. I have to say Fly Eagle has been doing their homework.

Billy

Well...I have to admit I have never been a big fan of FEJ, but the A-7 really looks sweet. Nice job guys...

Beave

Landing Gear LOOK's great ..
Semper Fi
Joe

I agree... great job for FEJ team!

João

WOW...
What turbine?
Presumed price?

Just saw this as well plus they have the 1/6 f-16 in it as well nice looking jet. I can tell you the honey comb cost about 1800 extra and saves you roughly 6 pounds of weight. This is for the F-16 1/6 scale. Plus it adds about another month of build time. FEJ is rocking! resistance is futile!

I am picking it up at KJ. Will be in your garage in no time Billy.Should be saweeeet!! That thing flew great and can't wait for mine. I'm thinking a P-120SX should do it. If not, a 160 will really move it. 30lbs all up.

Lowell:

One is under doing paing job for your A7. Yes, you should get it during KY jets.

Thanks
James

What is that thing/rail/not suppose to be there, modeled in the fuse sides above the main doors?



David Hudson

Isn't that supposed to be a missle rail?

Marty

i did a quick check and at 5.20 you see it pretty clear [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCSxSyuTyJk[/youtube]

I believe it is some kind of fuel pipe on Navy versions .
The front gear is too small but the plane is really nice.
It is good thing to do unusual models, congratulations FEJ, way to go!

What's the price?

Florent

D#m*, my piggy bank is empty! Guess I have to wait on this one. [8D]

Gotta looooove the SLUF!

Shaz

Come on Shaz...get on the list!!

Lowell

It does look pretty cool.

Jim

Lowell my brotha, LOL! I have so many I cant see straight. Will pm you regardless...

Shaz

I flew the USAF A-7D, Craig G. did as well and he might chime in...........this is at best "cartoon scale" because of that weird "thing" on the fuselage above the main gear door and the huge carbuncle that is where the fairing for the 20mm Vulcan cannon is located. RWR antenna's on the side of the intake aren't right either.
That said, the general outline is nice and it ought to be a good standoff scale for those so inclined.

What thing/rail do you mean?

He's talking about the thing/rail in the two pictures in the first post. Maybe it's supposed to be the missile launcher rail but it's not the right shape or position. You can see the front and position of the real rail in one of these pics and with it removed in the other.

Anyhow, like Billy, Speed is life and others, I'm just gald to see someone else is doing an A-7!

Craig

OK,
These planes are ARF, and nothing to compete in scale events with. If you want a really scale plane, you should build them yourself.
Dont know why people allways have to complain on the ARF makers???
I think the FEJ A7 looks great!!!

Christian

There you go Hudson, if you want something scale go build it yourself! LOL
You think you can model something better than this? Then show us how!

Sorry I just has to post that.

Care to show us your work? :-)

He wasnt complaining as you stated. He was giving an experienced technical critique of the model. Its not the same as complaining. It was actually great of him to help the guys out with details that most people wouldnt know. For those that like scale aircraft and would like to modify this to be more scale, that type of insight is valuable. And I like to see the people that "really" know details chime in so we can put it in perspective. Thanks for your insight, I for one appreciate it even if others don't. They did a good job on this plane, it wouldnt take much to make it very scale.

Just to get you going
