FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

So where are we going tomorrow? Well, we know that turbines as large as they are, are relatively small in the modeling world compared to props; more on that in a second.<o:p></o:p>Orders are currently being taken for the:<o:p>
</o:p>- F-18 120” (I got mine)<o:p></o:p>Due to unforeseen events, release changes may occur, but if all goes according to plan, save your pennies for:
- F-4 (within 10 days)
- Mig 29
- A-10 80 turbine size
-BAe Hawk 103”
-T-33
-F-106
-J35 Draken 120” (you can thank or curse “me” for this puppy. This is ALL my doing as was the F-14)
-A-10 120 to 160 size turbine (your engine choice)
-F-20 Tiger Shark 120” (if enough interest is drummed up)(if you want it, PM me)<o:p></o:p>Those of you/us who still fly large gassers, you’re in good hands. FEJ is forming a separate prop engine company to produce large prop planes. First on their list are:
-P-40
-P-51
-Yak
-Extra<o:p></o:p>I see them in the future building multi-engine bombers, large Cessnas like my sweet 13’ DA 150 Tommy Composite Cessna below, and other great scale and war bird planes. (Now I don’t want to sound like I got itlike this but I got it like this: if you have a particular bird you’d like to have, hit me up with it: no BS. The more of you interested in the same bird, the easier my convincing job will be for pushing it into production. As for the Draken, I got one PM for a two-seater; it didn’t help me. But I was so passionate about that puppy, I worked it on my own and won, but if a good number of you hit me up with the same bird, I can probably make it happen) <o:p></o:p>The link below takes you to my FEJ F-14 wing sweep operation. The other two photos I just threw in, they are from Hamburg Jet Jamboree 2009 in PA; you guys know the man standing next to me I’m sure.<o:p></o:p>http://vimeo.com/6974638<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>There you have itladies and gents; just a few of our upcoming models in order of release. We have more of course but a ways away, so I’ll hold off just at the moment, but will continue to post them right here.<o:p></o:p>FEJ thanks you for your support.<o:p></o:p>Other:<o:p></o:p>Oh yeah, a quick shout out to Sin City Jets and US MicroJet. I just bought at the same time 4; that’s right 4 off the freakin’ sweet and smoking hot shelf evoJet Booster 160s and 1 booty kickin’ AMT 450 and now I am one broke a** mother http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../cry_smile.gif<o:p></o:p>Anyways, two of the evo 160s has a permanent home in my F-14 while the other two will hop between my F-4, A-10, Mig 29, and Other. AMT 450 for F-16, F-18, and Draken, although, I may have to obtain another 450 for my Draken - she's my Baby! Oh wait, I still have that New in Box SimJet Nexus – almost forgot, that will go in my FEJ T-33 and Liberty. Stay tuned for new sale video.<o:p></o:p>Questions?

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

Too many P-51's on the market. I'd rather see some ME/BF 109's, FW190's and other less modeled WWII planes

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

Excellent point, Sweetpea...

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

Mr DJ,

How about a 1/6th scale Hawker Hunter.:D

Sign me up now if you can get that on the list.

I ran a poll a few months ago with really positive responses.

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

How about doing My Cessna 177B Cardinal I can supply just about any info they need... it is a Great airplane and it has NO wing struts or corrugated flying surfaces.... Enough Cessna 182 Skylanes as well....
I still want THE F-101 Voo Doo.

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

HOW ABOUT A SCALE!!! T-28 TROJAN, ALL COMPOSITE! In the 80-100 inch w.s category!! PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS SSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

100"long Hawker Hunter.....

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

Dj, How about a small 14/16 lb thrust size Mig 21???

Awesome, where are the pics! Has to be the first 1/6 scale f-18 on the planet, can't wait to see it!

Your buddy BV was working on one years ago, BTW.

How did you get your hands on one so early?

Ah but how many "All Composite" RTF warbirds are there?? same goes for the Spitty, AT-6 and pretty much all the others as well... there simply is very little on offer in regard to decent sized, pre-finished fully moulded warbirds. Just try and start a list and you will quickly see what I mean...

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

I like the T-28 idea along with the following

Bearcat
Skyraider

For turbo prop

Tucano
Navy trainer T-34
US airforce trainer T-6A

I would rather see a T-38 than a F20

Lastly has the factory said anything on making the leading edge slats and tail hook on the 1/7 superhornet

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

Actually, there are plenty of aerobatic planes of all sizes flooding the market as well as a lot of small warbirds. IMO, there is not much available in the 150cc size WWII warbirds. I'd especially be interest in warbirds with round cowls, such as the Hellcat, Bearcat, Skyraiders, T-28, LA-7, Sea Fury, etc. Please, no Corsairs, Zeros, or Mustangs, plenty on the market already.

Would like to have a huge F-20 (120"), but would be just as interested in having a huge T-38 (120"). [8D]

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

Mr DJ, for some reason when I read your post it was in the voice of Isaac Hayes (Chef from Southpark). I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. :)

RTF (painted) pre finshed composite warbirds where??????

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

I want to see some vid of someone flying an F-14, with turbines, with the wings swept.

I can't wait to buy one.

Raf

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

How about the 1/7 F-16.I know the 1/6 F-16 is popular now but it is too large for most clubmates of us.If we want to fly it,we need to change the car to carry this big guy!However ,the 1/8 is a little too small for scale -detail.There are little numbers of ARF F-16 for this size.We hope you can release this size F-16 as soon as possible,Thanks!

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

Mig-15 & 17 ;)

RTF (composite) - Spitfire Mk IX, Mosquito, Me-109E, Me-262, P-51, Corsair F4U, Corsair A-7

I would love to see a Mig 15 for a 14lb turbine

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

DJ

ALL the jet models you list are just too big for me.

I could not fit them in the car and I am not going to buy a long wheelbase van just to carry jets around in. Also I am not going to buy a plane that will weigh more than 20 Kg as this means it has to meet UK Large Model Association rules. These models seem to be aimed at the very few semi-professionals who fly at shows.

I currently have 2 twin engine jets but I know that there are only very few that will be prepared to own and operate a twin engine plane. The extra complexity and cost of 2 turbines just does not appeal to many.

It seems that FEJ is ignoring the huge numbers of people that have 54' 14 lb thrust engines. The is no doubt that a small Hunter for this engine size would sell really well as it has a large number of possible colour schemes and I do not understand why one has not been made. I also agree with Dennis about the Mig15. I would add a small Mig 17 and Mig 21 to the list. If FEJ were to make some smaller models like these then they would also be obvious candidates for EDF, increasing the possible market.

Thomas, what up, Baby... I agree with you in wanting to see something different and you will, but you have to remember that to our younger folks who don't have these planes:P-51, Yak, etc.theyare exciting and will alway be so. You and I are old farts, will you are anywayshttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gifI'm sure you've been flying for years, I started in 1985 while stationed in Japan (Air Force). Jet FX and the rest all had good suggestions of which I will work; won't get them all, but I'll be on it. Thanks for your inputs, Thomas.

What was the end result of that? I'm not into polls; someone did a poll a while back and the Tornado won soFEJ built it and no one is buying it. There's nothing like a live Lobbyist workin' the House for you.

Nick, what's up, Baby... I counted 3 T-28s in the room already. Must be a hot plane. Ok, I'm pushing this one already http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...wink_smile.gif

RE: FEJ Where We're Goin' Tomorrow

What about a Vampire??

I note this jet rarely gets a mention or does any manufacturer make one. Am I missing something?
