FMS F7F Tigercat

[RCINFORMER]

Actually, what I'd really like to know is how the two planes compare. TI was saying that he has both and they're apples and oranges so why don't we get some info flowing on that subject. Also, is MRC going to offer this one as well?
All I currently know is that its a 1700 mm compared to the 1600 mm FlightLine version and I hear that its 6s. Does it run 2x6s or one?
The landing gear looks interesting as well, what's the price on it?
These are things we should be talking about, how about it?

Grossman56,

As requested, I have produced a few videos you may really be interested in viewing:)

Ask for it and you shalt receive:)

It does seem that there is much interest in the FMS F7F on this thread! I had launched these videos last weekend and before I even had a chance to post them on the forums, someone had posted it in RCGroups as I went there to post it:) I figured that with the High interest in this model it would have been posted here relatively quickly as well but it had not...

Anyway, in the videos, I tried to give everyone a overview of the basics of the model even though mine is a VERY EARLY test of the mold and is actually the first one out of the mold to fly. It should have many improvements before it starts production & leaves the factory for sales. Hopefully I was able to answer most of the question everyone had. It uses only one battery, has the finest landing gear available, is very powerful, easy to fly, and is great on grass as you will see in the second video...

The first video is a on-the-bench overview of the model...... the second video is a Full UNEDITED flight Demo flown from a grass field on the stock power setup!

Stay tuned to the RCINFORMER YouTube Channel for more videos on this model... I will be launching a few videos of several proposed Hi Power setups that make the airplane stupidly powerful!

Enjoy!

I thought it was a repost of the previous video or I would have posted it here....it's hard to get past the attractive young lady on the title shot ;)

The above posts have been moved to this dedicated FMS F7F thread to help keep the forum organized.

LOL...that would be "Baker's Beauty" ;)

Well, it looks like somewhere in the world, the price for this has been set:

http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/product/FS0231/fms-1700mm-f7f-tigercat-artf-w-o-tx-rx-batt

We know that those guys on the other side of the pond generally pay through the nose for their FMS and Freewing planes, so doing a correlation between known planes (British Pound vs USD), this one should get released tagged at between $450.00 - $500.00 USD. (Something to chew on.)

I dont think these types of post for self promotion of YouTube channels should be allowed here on the sqwuak. Just my .2 cents worth.

It was requested by a forum moderator (Grossman56).

[dkalwishky]

I found the videos informative, I see nothing wrong with them.

[AkumaZeto]

Like I said its my opinion lol. I don't think that John guy who just cross posts his youtube videos all over is cool either. At least rich talks to us.

There is nothing wrong with the content at all. my only objection is bias. Rich get these for free and could be biased. Rich works for FMS and at what time for force for product. Thats cool I just think people should know that the person doing the review is basically a paid reviewer and not neutral like flight test etc.

[dkalwishky]

Geez, I like John's videos as well. He seems to assemble a lot of planes and I enjoy seeing them from the unboxing through the build. That helps me as a consumer decide if I want to buy it or not.

[AkumaZeto]

I like the stuff to but he never sticks around to answer questions its just like these guys bomb all the forums to get subscribers or views and thats all they care about. The older crowd might not get it or read into it but its basically spamming for views thats a huge nono especially when your channel is a monetary channel and you get paid for views. I digress.

I'll agree with that.

[xviper]

I'll digress as well ....................... I've got one video that's monetized (just to see). I have over 20,000 views on it and I've received nothing. I think you need 100's of thousands of views to get even a few cents. I see one, maybe two of RCInformers videos with over 100,000 views. He must be just raking it in. LOL Sure, he may be doing it for views, but it's not for money. He likely gets compensation (in the form of money and planes) from the people he does his reviews for and that might be hard to put into a $$ value. Fame maybe? :Silly: I hope he didn't quit his day job just to do this. And you're right, he has never replied to any questions I may have asked nor have I seen him reply to others (unless it was frivolous banter and not committing to anything that might get him into "hot water"). I would have liked to have received a reply but hey, I'll live. I'm sure he get's a lot of questions by PM as well. I can see where it would be too time consuming to address them all. I don't mind him spamming. It gets the word out. I don't care what his rationale is. I just care that I got to see stuff I like to see.

[AkumaZeto]

Its cool man. But the video might as well come from leo Hou himself

[rifleman_btx]

I'd still go flight line

[OV10]

They are both nice Airplane, but the FL doesn't hold a candle to the detail and flight performance that the FMS has

I personally would expect that the FMS should burn the candle brighter being that it is $200 more expensive but WOW..........those words coming from someone that has had their fill of brand belittlement.
This is what you responded to me with a month earlier when I asked a simple question and you got sorta defensive.

Had my fill of it.

So, true, OV. As a consumer, I've seen this a long while ago and it makes a difference where my money goes.

[Brandon Moon]

OV10...It was just an expression in comparison....not a bashing in anyway. Don't make out the statement to be more than it is. As It also says...they're both nice planes and I like them both.

I have both, two of each in fact. So it's an honest straightforward observation and comparrison. Not a bashing or belittlement in any way intended.

Your explanation is fair enough but I would ask the same of you in the future.........don't make out statements/questions to be more than what they are. ;)
