I'm not sick of FEJ threads, just sick of that everytime anyone start a thread someone have to trash the thread with this F-14 comment.
I have allways had good respons from FEJ. I have had the large F-15, large F-14 and i now fly the F-4 from FEJ.
Thumbs up! If you wonder: I sold the F-15 crashed the F-14 due to pilot error (would be easy to blame FEJ these days, but i have balls enough to say i did mistake ;-) ). F-4 flies great with correct CG. Powered by two ATJ-140 SE

Cool,
I also want to give a shout-out to my local grocer. I went in there with a shopping list, put the stuff on the list in my basket, went to the counter and the guy rang it up and took my money! I couldn't be happier or more impressed with that kind of above-and-beyond service!

One person posts a positive experience and gets pounced upon by those who have nothing better to do than criticize and complain.
Same thing happened to me in a separate thread. What a bunch of miserable sods. You are the ones who are killing this hobby.
If you can't show a positive attitude towards fellow modellers in this hobby when they have a good experience nobody really wants to hear from you..
If you have your own poor experiences then post them objectively but it is downright PATHETIC to see RC modellers bagging another modeller for being happy about a positive experience.

I a world governed by "It's not my fault" and "They did this or didn't do that", this is what we have all come to expect. Whine and cry. I lost an F-16(Skymaster), an F-15 (Skymaster) and probably will loose another, but did not come hear to whine and cry. IT WAS MY FAULT! Damn, that was easy. When I first got into RC, a guy told me "It's not if you are going to crash, but when". Take it to heart, it is a true statement. I right now have an F-15 coming from FEJ and have received good correspondence from them along with pictures along the way. Can't live in the past, look toward the future, keep the negative to yourselves and see what develops. One thing my father instilled in me was "Tact: The ability to tell someone to go to hell and make them feel good about it." Probably those who attack during their request for help get their just rewards. I will give FEJ a chance to prove itself and hopefully the whiners proof they need.

Why are you rehashing the same dead horse? The perception regarding the quality of their product has been set in stone. The topic here is about customer service, which based on this thread is inconsistent.
I'm tired of hearing about "this F-14" too, yet even the FEJ fans bring it up.

Excellent post.. yes, If you buy a product and want to put it in the air.. YOU are responsible for checking it and making sure it is airworthy.. if it crashes or fails it is YOUR failure because you don't understand your equipment. If I buy a plane I can easily see faults in workmanship or engineering and I will correct / repair accordingly before I fly. I have an Aeronautical Engineering Degree. I understand that most people don't. If you dont understand engineering or aerodynamics enough to predict failure then stick to light foamies before you hurt somebody
Well, I have to ask, then: What (if any) ARE your expectations when you buy an ARF jet?? Since you expect the end-user to have x-ray vision, an AE degree AND general clairvoyance, what does the maker have to do (other than nice paint)? I'm not trying to rehash this particular battle again, but my head is spinning after reading that.

But we all know that never happens.
Iphones can be dead out of the box.
A new car can be recalled for dangerous faults only identified after commercial release
Heck, real multi million dollar jets always have safety bulletins, advisory wires and sometimes require urgent modification to the entire fleet after the first failure of a component is recorded.
Look at the history of real aviation - design and manufacturing faults have killed thousands of people.
Nothing is perfect and while most consumer items will not hurt you if they are faulty, an RC Jet can most certainly kill. My point was that if you want to put one of these aircraft into the air it is your responsibility to make sure it is airworthy. Don't just blindly trust or expect that the manufacturer is PERFECT every time.
There are plenty of RC Jet pilots who are competent and professional.
But we all know RC Pilots who are a danger to themselves and anyone else around, these people have no business flying an RC Jet.

Yes, I-phones can be DOA; cars are recalled by the manufacturer for defects; and business & commercial jets have AD's. But those manufacturers don't blame the consumer. FEJ does!!!
How would it be if every time Apple blamed the consumer for the phone being defective by claiming the consumer charged the phone wrong or dropped it, and then denied a refund or replacement? Or if a car manufacturer claimed the car was perfect when it left the factory, but maybe the consumer drove the car wrong or hit a large pothole that caused the defect? Or if Boeing blamed the pilot for the fire or the wing ripping off while in flight ... maybe they would claim the pilot yanked the sticks to hard?
Well, FEJ blames the buyer for all their jets falling apart. Then denies any fault of their own despite the same situation happening time and time again!
Since FEJ can't build an airworthy R/C jet, they have no business being in this hobby. All they have is a pretty paint job on static designed jets.
If your point is, "if you want to put one of these aircraft into the air it is your responsibility to make sure it is airworthy. Don't just blindly trust or expect that the manufacturer is PERFECT every time" then please explain how the buyer is supposed to do that when they would actually have to take the jet apart, rip off the wing skins, re-build & repaint the jet that they bought which was assembled and painted? In order to fully inspect these jets, the buyer would have to rebuild the jet! So what is the point of buying a completed & painted jet? These companies ARE supplying FINISHED jets ... and the engineering should be PERFECT.
These jets are advertised as simply needing final assembly of components; engine, landing gear, fuel tanks, servos, etc. When if fact, they should be advertised as BUYER BEWARE.
So, a guy orders a few parts and gets them, and that it worth commending a company for? Geeze!
Meanwhile that same company sells defective products; takes a 100% deposit of thousands of dollars then can't produce the "purchased product" for a year; denies any responsibility for inept craftsmanship & engineering; causes their customers to lose $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 because of their design flaws; fails to give refunds; and blames their customers !! DOUBLE GEEEEEZZZZE !!!!!
