New FMS/Eflite Su-30 coming soon

[T-CAT]

They do that with every single plane on their site. They have a higher price marked through with a lower price next to it. The higher one was never the price and the "discount" never goes away. That is just the regular price with some makeup on it!

So true. That seems to be the normal practice.

typical sales tactic... No stanks!!

FMS has released their own scheme but only for Chinese domestic market. probably some non-compete clause with eflite.

599 is BNF with a battery though. $519 is PNP. Though i don't know how long they plan to keep those prices as i see price reduction originally from $550 on the website

You just struck a nerve. I still have my Freewing SU-35. If There comes an updated one from Freewing, I'd have to take it upon myself to fly my current one with wild abandon (planned destruction).

Now that's funny!

No one burst any bubble so whats the hipe? One reason I usually stay off sites like this. A lot are ready to pounce on some one that has been miss informed about things. OH and by the way I do plan in enjoying my E - FLITE SU 30 you all have a Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year

In that case, Santa, I would love a Mig-29/35, and updated SU-35.

I was also going to get one but the price is a bit over the top for me at this time, even with the "price reduction" (which you just brought to light for me now). I flying buddy here should be taking delivery of his from the LHS maybe next week or the week after that.
(It kinda makes me wonder why Horizon would lower the price so soon. The plane has only just started to be sent out. They usually raise the prices to rake in the revenue just before Xmas.)

Wild Man xviper FMS and Freewing are completely different factories and have zero collaboration with each other, whatsoever. Freewing has never produced a model for FMS, nor would we. Also, just to be clear, I work out of my office at Freewing's factory here in China a couple days every week and have done so for years, so... if anyone knows the truth about whom makes what, I do.

I hope everyone enjoys your Sukhois! I have always been drawn to Sukhois and MiGs.

I knew as much but I wasn't going to be the one to burst his bubble. People "hear" stuff all the time and this particular "declaration" is NOT new and has been posted before but in the past, when someone tries to set the person straight, it has almost always resulted in an online fight. I figured if Alpha says it, there can be no argument. When it comes to stuff like this, it's wonderful that this forum has its own BS detector (in addition to Freewing-Model scam detector).

I already have it lined up. After the first of the year when shipping gets back to normal I will be getting it. I was going to get the FMS version of the 80mm F-4 but the price drop on the Eflite made the descision for me. I will share the pix when I get it... gotta get busy cleaning out planes now though!!

[Wild Man]

Well I guess that shows you can't believe every thing you hear. Now I know the rest of the story. From what I see some manufacturer's were missing out on the EDF market and now getting in for a bite of the action IMO

It's expensive to.For $599.99 I'd wait for a while. Wonder is FMS will compete that price tag.
