Welcome to the club.

You should've researched a bit more before you bought.

Be careful though, you won't get any sympathy around here for blundering enough to buy FEJ stuff.

Holy crap, yet another FEJ thread :-(

And unfortunately probably absolutely Zero help from FEJ now that you have gone public

Be prepared to be ripped to shreds. If you think FEJ have been bad to you just wait and see what you are in for here

No big deal, this was bought on the recommendation of a local jet pilot, the more I find out the worse it gets, going to start from scratch with another manufacture, upon recommendations of RCU people..
I still prefer the Viper and want something from 90 to 100 inch wing span, so start the ideas coming.

Your only hope is to contact Nir at Nirlybuilt.com he is James right hand man for everything FEJ now(State side and lives in the same town as James). There are no other US reps due to every person having the same issues as yourself. Good luck and welcome to the club

no results, he was very helpful, but James refuses to contact me.

I figured as much, I told Nirl he may want to break ties due to his bread and butter being from building stuff for people. Sorry it was a dead end.

Nothing wrong with your model at all. Its a perfectly normal FEJ airframe.

You could contact Ali at Al's Hobbies in the UK. He posted that he was working with the manufacturer (FEJ) to improve their products so he may have some advice...

Skymaster & Fei Bao Jets make Vipers in the size you are requesting. While both these companies take years to test and develop a sturdy and airworthy jet, FEJ cuts out the R&D to get their jets into market within a few months. FEJ has their customers unwittingly do the R&D at their own expense.

Sorry about your loss of money in dealing with FEJ. You are not alone.

Weeeelllllll, lets not get that crazy. For a while they all seemed to be putting out the same model splashed from each other. The F-15 was a perfect example. Look at the bottom of the F-15 nose, all three (still) have a very straight line on the bottom where the full scale had a slight (but noticeable) bulge. Yellows is too prominent, Avonds had it about perfect. Not to mention the internal structures were the same for all of them.

It seems like each has progressed in their own way but lets not forget where everyone began from....

...and then there's this.....

Sadly that thread could have had some valuable information for newbies. But the poll was tainted by FEJ and more than 100 friends using either the name long* or yang* (all joined RCU within a few days of each other near the time of the thread) to throw the results... really incredible. What a farce.

But, I like the idea of having a thread listing out the "good stuff". I am sure this information is already on RCU but scattered. A concentrated and organized thread would really help modelers.

Now that's funny :cool:
Well...I'm now convinced that my T-33 is not from FEJ ... during the building process everything fits... no missing parts.. @ hamburg Jet Rally..people asking me who makes my T-33 it doesn't look like a FEJ..the quality remind me of my ULTRA FLASH..but I could have been one of lucky ones

Oh sorry about your Fej Viper :( wish you bought the FEJ SPORT JET instead..I need data.

Now is this Basil from Markham park?!?!

What's up Dan :)

LOL.... you were not joking....
I looked at the poll results and some nit wit, posted the same name just some minor changes.....
WHacky...

Scam away,What a joke!!

I think if FEJ flight tested their designs better, that may be a good start ... Here is a team that might be more than capable of doing this for them ! ;)
