Default Jet Legend F-16 1/8 landing gear

Anyone have a recently purchased Jet Legend f-16 1/8 and not receive the landing gear. I bought my jet from Mike at the global jet club and the gear is still being delayed by the factory. bought it in march. Gear was suppose to be there every week during april and kept getting pushed back. If you have run into this problem is there any info on when they are going to be available? Mike is doing a nice job communicating with me and is truely a stand up guy, but im just checking to see if any one else has any inside info. thanks

I had problems with the original landing gear & had to wait for the re-designed gear. I received this (free of charge) from Yang in February. It works perfectly.
Not sure why there should be a delay with supply now.

Regards.

Im sure they fly great. It really is a very nice kit. i just dont want to have to resort to bungee launching it. lol. My p-60 SE came in the mail monday. i had Jetcat crank up the RPMs to 170k. Should go very nice.

Looks very nice. How is she on landing? I really cant wait to get min up into the air. My "ace in the hole" scheme looks great and it should really stand out in the sky.

It lands fairly hot. with a nose high attitude. I bet your paint will show much better than mine.

Hi Rich,

I got a call from JL and said that they finally resolved the L/G production issues and will start sending out our L/Gs this week.

I have told them to start making you bungee cords if they can't offer us the L/G this month.

We have been patiently waiting for a CT114 stab. Heard there was some really bad weather that was effecting the electricity at the factory. Hope they get on line soon. Summers already here!!!!Scott

I started working on the wing of a JL 1/6 scale F-16 on Sunday of this week. Unfortunately, I found that both ailerons I received were for left wing. E-mail Camlex Sunday night and got a response from JL stating the replacement part had been shipped on the 7th. Perhaps, JL has gotten thing together.

Our club has several orders of the 1/6 scale on the way. I will check and make sure we got both ailerons. It happened before on our 1/8 scale orders too. They are very difficult to tell because they are symmetric. It's an easy fix just by putting a "L" and a "R" on the molds. Don't know why they don't come up with that solution.

Mike
