I'm digging that main gear but not the measled riveting. Based on FMS's past history of introductory pricing I'm gonna venture to say that this one is gonna be out of reach of the majority.
I would have never seen these pics because I have expressed elsewhere my disdain for FB but am appreciative of TI's FB peeping(almost used the word voyeurism because the Tiger is just sexy) ;)Warbird Charlie

That is an EPO model, from an actual mold. The way molds are constructed, those rivets are milled into the mold. Removing those rivets is impossible, because milling is a reductive process. They would need to create an entirely new mold, which I cannot imagine them doing at this point because the cost of mold this size is expensive. As in, in the neighborhood of the average American annual income.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Well, judging by the number of postings on the RC Groups site of those flyers who got to test fly the new FMS F7F the FMS version is quite a nice flyer and the landing gears seems to be well received. The landing gears certainly seem robust,
I will wait and see how well they fly and how well the landing gear lasts before I make my decision,
As everyone is aware the weak link in the electric rc flying models are the landing gear, hopefully the new design by FMS will prove to be robust and their design will become the new standard.
