It supposedly has a tad higher motor KV (1900kv for the FMS vs 1850kv for the Eflite), but still inrunner and 12 blade fans and the same 80A ESC's), different paint scheme, and rumored to have potentially different servos ( but even the listing above shows the same servo weight, so who knows, ha-ha). The motor KV difference won't make a massive difference in performance at this weight. So, to me, this is simply a paint scheme change, which I must say is better in my opinion. At least the nose section isn't white unpainted foam.

Eflite used the older 70mm EDF that has been out a while now. FMS used the newest PRO EDF: http://www.fmsmodel.com/fms-70mm-pla...v1900-motor-6s

Not just higher Kv, but also a bigger motor.

the edfs are the new upgraded units and the ESCs are better as well. Along with the better full painted airframe as well. The Eflite has left the white areas bare foam.... When I make the space this too will be a plane that I get!

I didn't see that... but good to see that they did that! I have tried out the new higher KV and longer motor. It for sure is better than the other with only a slight penalty in amps and weight! My flight times didn't change but the performance was noticeably better! I am looking forward to trying them in a twin!
The motor in my Eflite Viper is sounding rough so I am gonna throw one of those two in it soon.

90 bucks more than the BNF. Not really an option for me as I fly Jeti..... The PNP.... is 519.00 ( since I live in Illinois I gotta pay 8% tax. 560.00 with tax....
So if I bite on Xvipers link.... 80 bucks more for...
Not having to wait.... and getting the better livery....

I'm not telling you to go this route nor am I telling you to avoid it. Here is a link to a post showing the guy's screen name (Great_Xu). You need to read the whole thread and determine for yourself if you wish to "jump in" and take any risks there may be. From that thread, you can also search ALL posts by this fellow and try to get a feel for his character. You could also message those who have dealt successfully with him to get more details on who he is and how it all works.

All good! I was more than 3/4 's kidding and would not expect someone to poison a personal well. :-) I just purchased the New Eflite P-51..... SO that pushes this out a tad... but LOVE the FMS Livery!
