Feibao Velox Arrives!
Guys
My Velox was just delivered. You will be blown away by the quality and value of this jet, the paintwork is outstanding, not painted in the mould but painted afterwards, decals applied and then clearcoated. Will go and take some photographs and post later.

I believe Digitech will have them next week when the container arrives, I had mine air freighted as I have adeadline on the build. Now for some photographs! The camera does not do justice to the paint finish, it is superb, the best I have seen on an ARTF for only 99 Euros extra. Model comes with 2.3 litre tank, gear doors & cylinders, whip aerial.

we will all start selling them at the same time.
so we will ship out immidiatly after they are all booked and checked in.
also we need to open every box to check them and add jet-1A parts..

The "ailerons" look split for aileron/elevon/flap function ?
I like the way the gear doors are done and recessed. I think even I could hinge them and get them to work properly.

Maybe next weekend! As you know I have built a few twin boomers, I like the design, this knocks everything else into a cocked hat, the quality is incredible for the money. I understand it is available for around $870 in the US, painted. That is 1/3 of the cost of a Composite Bobcat. Even if you have purple blood in your veins you will love this bird!

Yes the flaps / ailerons are split. The only building work is to glue in the Robart type pin hinges and slot and glue the control horns. Even the pushrods are the correct length will a clevis on one end and a metal ball link on the other. Air cylinders and hinges are supplied for the gear doors.

Yes, full size servos for flap, aileron and elevator, minis i.e. Hitec HS 225 MG on the rudders, Feibao must have been listening when I criticised the Phoenix on this point!
