Hi all.
Today I received the Rafale complete kit that I ordered directly from the X-tremjets website. I payd the kit through my PayPal account. The invoice total was $ 1010,- incl. shipping, insurance and PayPal fee. |

That's great news Stig. How about the internal construction? Every body is looking for a feedback. Is the quality OK for the price? I allready recieve the proforma invoice but haven't paid yet. For what I look seems rigth.

At first impressions it looks like an easy build. (But we all know that there usually is more work than we think, don't we;)) Here are some construction pictures from the CD. (I hope/think its OK to post them) |

ORIGINAL: Adil Nasim Hi Stig, GREAT. It seems like the kits are shipping now.. How is the quality? I've been thinking about one as well.. Thanks - Adil For the price, the quality is very good. The moldwork is quite light and the seem lines will not require much work. From first impressions, the parts fit together well. It may take some time to get the alignment of the wings and fin right, but other than that, I think it should be an easy build. But when I look at the work that needs to be done, and compare it to the up-price of the ARTF painted version, I would get the ARTF version next time i purchase a kit from X-tremejets. Here's an interesting page from the instructions. |

I have to agree with you that the ARTF may be the way to go especially after looking at your pictures of all the formers :D Upgrade struts are something new from SM and I kind of like it. The Hydralic struts are real neat but not necessary if you are on a budget etc. I look forward to some flying reports etc. Thanks a lot. Regards, Adil |
RE: Rafale complete kit from X-tremejets
hello,
I received my rafale kit (not ARTF) and A10 ARTF today As SIG. Quality is fantastic for teh price. I have actually a christen diffusion rafale and AD large mirage 2000. The quality of Extreme jet is best and low price!!! The rafale kit is really extraordinary details. No problem, it is necessary just to pay the customs (france). Very serious packing, fast delivery by DHL, that happiness. As Sig, i think that the ARTF is more interesting... At this price!! no question!!! Thank you Anton!! Sébastien from France |

Hello again.
I managed to place the X-tremejets Rafale on the building table next to the Aviation Design large Rafale that I am building for a customer. Just to give an idea of the size. |

ORIGINAL: digitech how much was the vat and import tax? They wrote "model airplane samples" on the invoice. DHL cleared the box through customs and the lady from DHL told me there will be an invoice for $ 43 to cover the import tax. I didn't pay any VAT. |
RE: Rafale complete kit from X-tremejets
Hello,
For me in france It's TVA = 20 % and custon taxes = 4 % so 24 % ... it is normal to pay VAT. Even with that VAT, this kit is cheaper and good quality, best regard |

By the way. Even if you order the so called "complete kit", you will not get these parts. You need to order them as an extra when ordering the kit.

RE: Rafale complete kit from X-tremejets
Thanks SIG,
I sought these parts in packing without finding them!!! How to order them? I do not see them on the site? |

Will the HS 5955 TG servo fit in the wings? Are the canards use only one servo or two?

RE: Rafale complete kit from X-tremejets
Hi Stig, thanks for all the great information about this jet. It looks very very nice. Could you please show and or tell me how to do a single pipe setup? Or mount engine in tail? The gear looks nice and so does the hardware but I would as well like to know what hardware the kit does not include. I also support the local store but some of the hardware is not easy to find. Can you ask X-tremejets to make this more clear?
Regards, Joe |

Can you ask X-tremejets to make this more clear? Regards, Joe Not sure yet how I am goint to mount the engine. But the pipe will be a straight pipe, since we have small problems wiht noise restrictions on some fields. (It's getting worse, actually[:o]) I had a single pipe on my AD Rafale as well and I made it in the same way as made on the EuroSport. It is not scale, but it is the price I have to pay for keeping the noise level down. I sent an e-mail to X-tremejets about the hardware thing yesterday. Lets wait and see what the answer is in 2 or 3 days. |
RE: Rafale complete kit from X-tremejets
does anybody know how the f-16 looks, especially the cammo? I am going to be buying a 1/8 f-16 arf for my p-60 but i am not sure if i want to take the plunge with a company that i dont even know what the cammo scheme looks like. I really want a Skymaser f-16 with the engine in the tail but i would be willing to order from x-treme if the quality is the same.
