With all the hype.... I hope it is not a big disappointment !!! I would rather they handle it like FMS, they have been knocking it out of the park at a lot quicker pace without all the fan fair and bling that MRC generates.. Kinda like fake news.. Over time you end up tuning it out and ends up like. "Who cares anymore" and move on to other things.My Hangar inventory FW 90 mm hp F-15, FW 90 mm F-104, FW 90 mm T-45, FW 80 70mm F-5, FW 80 mm Scorpion, 70 mm V2 Z Rebel, F-8 Bearcat and a stable of T-28, white and Orange and yellow

I beg to differ on the A10. Smaller easier to transport and flys on rails. Also 150 dollars cheaper, plus another hundred off if you count the extra battery pack you have to buy for the money put freewing. And you dont have to modify the gear to keep it from bouncing. Finally I never needed any thrust line modification, as mine never dipped the nose or anything from idle to max throttle. I will say (although I do this with near every large servo numbered plane), I did add an external bec for a safety measure. The original escs are still going strong even in 100+ degree heat. I believe it's all in how you set up and treat your equipment. But as it stands. 0 issues out of my A10, the only foul was, it doesn't hold up well to road signs. LOL

PS, I have solid faith in both FMS & FW/FL. I favor FW/FL because of the great Motion customer service. But FMS products are in fact good products, and I know this from experience. W

To each there own. My experience with a friends had nothing to do with the size but the quality of the retracts ( failed on the 1st flight) and servos (nervous and won't center).. I base my opinion on that and that alone. I've experienced similar shortcomings in other FMS products. To this day all my FMS air-frames are still going strong without a single issue..

Ya know in the old days, (1971) servos never failed, at least I never heard of a servo failure.

My retracts handle a field with 4inch tall grass without missing a beat. No sign of trying to rip loose, as my p38 just did Sunday. However that seem to be a problem with most all the brands mounts. Just didn't seem to have much glue on the mount to handle that much weight on a grass field. To its credit I will say it did hold up until it stopped saving my props and its underbelly from getting scrapped up.

Originally posted by rifleman_btxOf course they do, I'm just not gonna stand by when someone cuts down my plane that flys to perfection. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Especially when theres not a damn thing wrong with it. As evident in this video.
