me likes... wish I could afford one right now. My FEJ F-16 flew flawlessly at MAB this past weekend. They make nice stuff for the $$ you spend.

ARA,
It has been about 6 weeks for me, but they were working out some "bugs" on them. Mine was one of the first orders in...I think they have a bit of a back log now. WORTH the wait I am sure!!!
As for motors, I am putting in Jet Cat P-120 SX's (30lbs ea.). They also say that you can use the P-160's as well (36lbs). Can't remember what the Rhino's blow, but I hope these #'s help.
Keep in touch and watch the forum. I will post all I can about mine when I get it. Glad you jumped on the F-14 band wagon!!!
Talk to you soon,
Lowell

I think you could be waiting a bit longer yet, mine has now been on order since about the 20th January, so that's about 15 weeks so far, I have no complaints about this and am prepared to wait, it's going to be one great model.

I placed the order and paid within a day of the F14 coming on the market, James also asked what scheme I would like the plane to be if I didn't like what was on the website, so I sent him the Black Bunny Scheme to which he replied they couldn't do that scheme at that time, so to me it's Greeeaaat that they have picked it up and run with it.

Just took delivery of my 1/7th scale F15E from fly eagle and I must say it's very well built, the new retracts seem to work well, I'm planning to use 2-16kg thrust turbines in each plane.

The Rhino is the same class as the P160. I have one Rhino so it would be cheaper just to get me one more Rhino for power.

BTW, I notice there are multiple threads for the F14 - which one do you (Lowell) anticipate updating with your building progress?
Please keep me in the loop.
Thanks,
Amir

I am going to try and make it down even if I don't bring a plane. Would love to give the 14 a good looking over.

Ian, I look forward to seeing you there. I'm sure there will be plenty for you to fly!

Amir, I will either leave it here or start a new one on it. Also, I think the Rhino's will be great in there. I also thought about putting the 160's in mine as I do have a new SX I am not using.
Should be good either way.

The swing geometry on that does not appear to be correct either.

Mr DJ

Jet, what up...

Sure, go here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemID=511150

Will try to post much more tonight.

DJ, good video. Now maybe some of the skeptics will have a new view of the progress that FEJ has done and are doing. Mine is on the way now and should be here in about a week or so. I'll keep you posted on the build.

Glenn, I had to pay extra for the Bunny scheme. They didn't have it at the time either but I got them to do it special. Now it's a production model! It should look good next to my Bunny F-4!

Lowell

Mr DJ

Lowell, my Man… Let’s hope so. You, I, and a bunch of others know that FEJ is on their job and are improving all the time. And for the prices they are charging, no one should complain, but you, I, and a bunch of others know that no matter what, someone will complain, but like I said somewhere above, life continues.

Folks, have you placed your orders yet? This is the bird to get; to get for now until I (hopefully) convince FEJ to produce the Saab J-35 Draken – I’m working on it.

So, Lowell, yours will be in soon – Kool Beans. I actually was the first to order but since I’m a Rep, it pleases me to step back and let you guys get yours first and have much fun. If you’ve seen my video, you’ll know that I’ve plenty birds to build, so receiving mine in a hurry is not a priority. My brother, Stefan: Eagle Driver, in Germany will also do a build thread or he may just throw his photos here or wherever you post yours. Everyone builds a little differently, seeing builds from many is a good thing.

The above video is now on FEJ’s site; I may have a newer one real soon; soon as I have it, you’ll have it. I’m excited about this puppy, and if the Draken becomes a reality, I’ll probably pee on myself [X(]

Dj, go clean yourself up!! I am sure they will do it if enough of us ask. It's a cool ship. I agree with you, everyone builds a bit different, and I know I learn new tricks from everyone I meet. I look forward to doing the build with all that have them.
I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again,
Lowell

Thomas,

If the carry through structure on the FEJ F-14 looked like this...then I would be concerned. Look's like a very robust pivot, but check out the mounting platform.

Hello Thomas,
that is Made in Austria by Manfred Eberhard. It is his new Creation ..........a big Tornado

Ah, it's a Tornado... that explains the swing geometry.

Were the wings ever retracted during flight? Or was this the first flight and more to come?

Lowell,
Is the span wise rectangular looking piece on the aft side of the rear swing wing pivot the cross bracing you mentioned earlier?

My Feedback: (10)

Where is the big bolt in cross brace?

Did they raise the gear during the flight? I could not tell.

Mr DJ

Mike

No Sir, wings were straight out. Yes, more video coming...

Mr DJ

Matt

You didn't see it? It is thin somewhat in the video but it was right there - take another look and make it full screen. The gear appeared to me to be down.

Thomas,
Mine will be here in about 7 days. I will get some good shots and post them for all. This way, I can look at it and describe it better once I get my hands on it.
Thanks,
