Default Is there hope for FEJ MAYBE

Approx 1 year two months ago I ordered a Tornado from FEJ and after all this time I had given up on ever recieving anything from them. This week I recieved pictures of my FEJ Tornado done in the custom scheme I had asked for. I will keep everone informed as the transaction moves forward I an excited by the prospect of actually receiving an airframe to work with.

I hope you get your plane,, I hope the pic is your plane, it looks great.
I know that Fej has left some others hoping for their plane, and I truly Hope you get yours and it is a good model.
There is always Hope....



Get ready for all the dirtybirds that are about to jump into this post bashing FEJ, they cant help themselves.

What I find really disappointing about FEJ fans is that you only care about yourselves and what FEJ can do for you. There are a lot of guys who have been massively screwed over by FEJ and you could care less. That's a damn shame.

And probably the exact reason FEJ is still in business

Why you would do that defies all logic.....but clearly, that's why they're still around and sponsoring KJ.

+1 and these are not the pics the jet community are interested in. It's the ones showing insides of stab, fins and wings...

You know that's not going to happen. 2/3 of FEJ jet videos are of people taxing them around. They make great RC cars.

You sir, are wasting your time, your money and all the money on equipment you are going to put in that pretty looking airplane if you fly it.

If you decide to make a static model of it, then GREAT!!

Here's a pic of my static FEJ model. It is doing what it does best: Look Pretty on the ground.

ANYONE who tells you that FEJ can be trusted to not make lawn darts is quite disreputable.

It would be sheer madness to trust FEJ after all that has been said, witnessed and experienced.

Try 30 easy flights. And then talk about it.

How do you know? Is that a FEJ?

If it's a FEJ, did you look at it? Did you take it apart?

Here are the internals of the two FEJ jets I personally had in my hand that are pretty but absolute and thorough junk.

That you can see!


I saw a G5 from FEJ in person and was wondering why the reversing clam shells looked so weird.. Come to find out, after they painted them and installed them, they put the Right top on the Left side and vice versa, so the paint lines didn't match up.. AND there was QC sticker or some similar crap (along with GLOBS and GLOBS of glue.. oh and a broken Reversing clamshell hinge) on the inside of the nacelle.. So much for "quality" LOL

and for those who don't believe me, its even up on their website!

It amazes me that someone would actually comment "congrats"
But I'm even more amazed there are guys still ordering this crap.
