My Feedback: (9)
this is Richard Hoffman from FB, we chat there ! I just got a NIB FM and posted it maybe couple weeks ago but dont wanna build it, flying a hotts .40 now and have a really nice hot pink FM a buddy built me years ago, flew right off the board straight as an arrow. Working on my super hotts now and just installed a NIB .61 FS because the pump .61 that was on it started leaking from the rear and i could not get a needle tune on it.
LOVE THE FM man!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember maybe 10 years ago they tried to ARF the FM but it didnt happen, was it CONDOR ????

#11 has been started! almost complete with the fuse. started the wood wing last night. I'm soooo close to have all 3 framed up. i cut and added a peace of ply on top and bottom of the elevator for more support for the Dub Jett POWER! #11 has a Rossi 40 gold head. should fly pretty awesome!

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 9pt">I have been contacting East RC for 3 months about the Flying Machine. I was told via e-mail that the production was scheduled a few weeks out. Now they say there is no production date available and it could be sometime next year. They have other projects that have to be completed before the Flying Machine will get off the ground. </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 9pt">I have to say I am very disappointed. I flew with Don and the Cloud Dancers late 70s through early 80s and this is the only plane of its kind. I have several friends that want one and from this thread it appears a few more are eager to purchase. I spoke with Don last week and he can’t get an answer as to production dates either.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 9pt">Come on guys. What does it take to get this going. How many orders do you need to complete this task or is there something else in the way. I realize economic times are tough right now but it would seem this is a pretty popular aircraft and if you guys have the exclusive on the model it should turn numbers fairly quickly. I will purchase 3 and I know of a few more in my club that want the FM. I don’t have a clue as to how many pre-orders there are but I would be more than happy to help generate additional orders if this is the answer. </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 9pt">How can we get this bird in the air?</span></div>
