I have a chance to pick up a NIB 94 inch Fly Eagle Jets A-10. Everything is there, and the price is awesome, but with all the negative press they've had of late, I thought I pick your brains a little! It is the " honeycomb" construction. While this seems to be the issue structurally with their jets, I've not heard anything negative about their A-10. SO....anybody have any thoughts/ experience with this kit?

Should not be a problem. Go for it!! Ignore the bad press. The honeycomb issues are only related to the F-14s, F-16s, Hawk, F-18's, A7's. You should be fine. You can make it work for sure.

Please have someone take a video of the maiden.

Kim, do you really think the A-10 is built better than the rest of their junk??? You're going to end up losing $9k in engines, electronics and assorted other stuff when it folds up just so, you can save a few bucks on an airframe? Makes no sense to even consider the plane, there's so much info available on this company's poor performance record.

I hope it's cheap$ because you can hardly give away an FEJ airframe right now.

If there using Honeycomb to make the structure that holds the engine pods, GOOD LUCK
And you better nail your landings dead on, Im sure the gear plates are mounted to HC too.

I have the original layup version (not honeycomb) and it has been flown at KY Jets for the last 3 years. It flies like a cub while in the air. That said, mine weighs 71 pounds wet and is LTMA-1 certified. There is a trade off for structural integrity vs weight at least partially. The balance should be in design.

HI, I had the Fiberglass version and did the mods to make it structurally sound. It weighted 61 lbs. and flew great, wish I had kept it.
