Heard a Rumor that the Eurofighter may be in stock late this week or early next week. I guess will find out

For anyone interested and has BBC Earth on the TV, there is currently repeating episodes of Brian Cox's Adventures in Space and Time - What Is Time? Season 1, Episode 4.

There is a wonderful clip of the real Eurofighter as it blasts it's way to nearly Mach 2 with Cox on board. He points out all the "classified" stuff on the plane that they can't film or talk about.

I wonder if that a mode 1 thing. Throwing rudder at a plane seems to induce roll. If you watch this video you can see them wiggling the rudder and the canards and ailerons wiggle too

[xviper]

Those latest FNRC videos somewhat confirms what I originally thought in my mind after seeing their earlier vids ........................... Either this plane really needs a gyro or the pilot needs to calm down the tremors in his thumbs. It looks wobbly and "loose".

Videos being quality ................. perhaps. First vids, couldn't see the plane because it got so far away. Latest vids, the plane wizzed by so fast, it couldn't be kept in frame (too much zoom). They can't seem to win.

Seems to be some more videos from the overseas boys.
They seem to be better quality, less of that GoPro on a stick stuff.

I can't wait for the Eurofighter to arrive, I'm going to sit back and watch all the complaints about it and the drama, then I may order one.......

Why wait, start posting now and get ahead of the curve. After all the new player is XFly and the ol' Banana.

I don't think you'll need to wait long or even have to start posting now. Since this is one of the current new releases in the foamie EDF class, the Banana shills will show up shortly after delivery to say they got theirs and how bad it is - if you can't hype up your own product any further, trash the competitors'. Old "car sales" trick. Still sort of works, except more and more potential customers hate the trash talk and steer away.
I'll eventually have both, so it won't be hard to tell who's honest and who's just BS-ing.

Just got a email from Raymond at rc castle still shooting for Feb 16th shipout on the eurofighter
he is also checking on xfly b1 bomber possible ship dates ..

I asked him the same questions.
I didn't want to disclose too much about the B1 just in case somebody at Banana Hobby caught wind of it and tell X-Fly to withhold shipment to anyone but them for a certain amount of time. I don't put it past BH to do exactly that. They want the world to think they and they alone are bringing this plane to market and have an exclusive on it.

Chinese New Year shut down is now over. Freewing factory production on this plane has resumed. Estimated shipping date for ours to be Feb. 16. Keeping fingers crossed.

The estimated arrival has not changed. Still mid-Feb to end of March, however, with the latest delay due to Covid and the Chinese New Year, I believe the end of March time frame is more likely. I don't think they've even left the factory for the boat docks yet. RC Castle still indicates shipping will commence Feb. 18. It seems to me that RCC's stock leave the factory doors about the same time the boat load leaves. Freewing apparently didn't pull the reins on this one to allow Motion to get their stock in hand a month or two before allowing other sellers to start their sales.

Still no updated ETA?

[Evan D]

He plugged the big battery into the back of the Hota, the input is on the back.

[xviper]

He's using it to power the charger. That's great for those that charge at the field and don't have a power source.

Nice. It looked like he was charging it with the charger. I suppose I could have translated the title.
