Sorry for those who own FEJs and are trying to sell. But then again, not like FEJ being open made any difference.

This is from FEJ. Tom, you should send email to [email protected] for all information you need. We will offer CG and throw for you. So far, company has not got your email. Make sure you send it correctly.

We, FEJ, there is nothing change in the factory. For those guys who made terrible rumor about FEJ close the door or sold, company will ask the lawyer to collect necessary information and reserves the right to prosecute.

I wrote to that address a few times in the last 2 months and no response. I was in contact with Johnny on that address when I was making purchases but seems like no one wants to respond to me now. I will send again today and see what happens. Tom.

You don't need to reserve the right to prosecute you just do it. Rather than do that however it would be better if you just answered your customers emails

What a crock! Since FEJ can't make any money, now you make ridiculous threats to sue? GET A GRIP! You can't do that.

The only rumor FEJ is trying to spread is that they are a good company.
If you haven't closed your door, you sure act as if you did.

Secondly, we all know better that to accept anything you, or FEJ says, as being truthful.

However, you are right about one thing you wrote; "We, FEJ, there is nothing change in the factory." ..... Your quality has not improved, and your customer service in non-existent.

Surprising??? What would be surprising about FEJ having closed up shop?!
Just what I have been told by a fairly reliable source. Do I know this as fact, no... As I stated, Word has it they have closed up shop and sold the molds. I would tend to trust the source over FEJ's word ;-) But then again... does it really matter? Only a fool would part with his funds for an FEJ product. JMHO... yours may vary

Be careful Todd, they have "reserved the right to prosecute"
At one time I actually kind of liked what they were doing (some years ago), luckily that has changed....

No i agree with you in the parting of funds. Its just surprising to hear this bc as much bad press as they have received, there is just as many, if not more, fanboys still supporting them.

I wasnt at FL jets unfortunately, but i havent seen nor heard any mention of FEJ being there either.....

Correct... didnt see the crash but did see the wreckage. Wing folded... Well, to put it more accurately, wing departed the airframe's flight path and the pilot was unable to pull off a Hemple.

Unless you have solid proof, this all BS including your so called "Source". I'm not a FEJ fan boy but I am stuck with 2 of there planes...

I heard from a source that drewmworks rc is closing down too, I'm I certain no, but my BS imaginary source says so It must be true

Post proof or stop making up rumors, if they have closed up it will eventually be self evident, wouldn't be surprising but at least we know where they and the FEJ owners stand.

Have you (or anyone) heard from FEJ in the last few months? Email answered, phones picked up, order delivered??
You can call Dreamworks any day of the week, during business hours, and the phone will be answered, by a human
I know... two airframes, you have to keep the faith they are still out there somewhere.....

YES i called last night to there Chinese Phone number: (86)13120253215 last night and spoke to a rep called "Echo" she took my information and said Johnny would contact me (now whether or not that happens is another issue...)

Since they are in China they have a different time zone and you have to call after 11:00 P.M. eastern to get them on the phone.So obviously someone is still working their. Also I know of a local person who Just got replaced BAE HAWK stabs for his 1.45 jet 2 weeks ago, so someone is obviously still doing something there.

Thats wonderful dreamworks answers the phone, dreamworks also charges 2.5x for items:

http://www.dreamworksrc.com/catalog/...en-110-X-102Mm
vs
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ard_110mm.html

But this isn't about dreamworks, its about you making up some baloney about FEJ closing down and not posting proof. You may very well be completely accurate, but I and many other would like solid proof. Who is your source and why should we believe him/her? Is it James for FEJ USA? Did he say this?

If it is too expensive for you, dont buy. Free trade in this country.... I also have comparable products from other vendors for 2.5x less. I wont get into how to run a business with you.... I do business in Asia, with many vendors. Do you really beliave I dont know how to communicate with manufacturers in these countries?
Just stated what I have heard, also stated I dont know this to be fact, just reliable sourced information. (from Asia and US) Take it for what it is and move on....
This is why anyone who is seasoned in this segment is no longer here; nothing but keyboard combat.... Pathetic!

Disco bro,

Really? Trying to flex on Todd?

HARDLEY.

Your time on this matter is better suited to trying to keep your beloved FEJ stuff from joining its brethren in that eternal runway in the sky.

Look all I'm saying if he knows FEJ is closing down then post for sure, not just rumors. I already wrote off my FEJ planes, at best they could be nice display pieces at a hobby shop and that's what I will eventually do with my 1/6 F-18 unless I can get new fiberglass/wood stabs built.

That being said I have had a replacement stab on order from FEJ for about 5 months now.. yea probably wishful thinking but I know of a LOCAL flier thats 80 miles from me WHO JUST GOT A NEW updated stab at no cost:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-j...l#post11724835

Now why would they be doing this if they are going out of business?

Sure you would be a moron to buy a FEJ plane now, but all the folks that already have there planes including myself would like to know what the hell is going with FEJ, with proof evidence no rumors.

I'm not trying to pass rumors, just giving a heads up as to what I am hearing... I have deep connections in the industry and I am simply passing on what has been trickling down. Means nothing to me either way, I gain nothing if they do or dont exist any longer! Never have, nor would I ever own an FEJ, even if they paid me to take one. I knew they were crap when they first appeared on the market. Tried to talk my best friend out of one; like most, he fell into the trap of pretty paint and got boned. Just thought this info would be useful to some "expecting" anything from them...
The stabs you mention as JUST GOT was posted on 1/30 and he received them 2 weeks prior. By my count, that's TWO MONTHS AGO!
