Yuk....sorry looks like a jet that caught fire and burned to a cinder, pusher props...hmmm that would add to the more toy like features.
Sorry just can't sugar coat this one for ya...all the best

Hi jetguy,
Thank you fro your honesty, but, if you saw a balsa model unpainted would you say "Yuk that looks like a lump of wood"?...hmmmmm its unpainted, and what the bare bones looks like....We at Green Air Designs, like to tell the whole truth not just the bit we want you see, so this kits and all the other are high accuracy CNC cut kits, thisparticular one IS TWIN EDF.....but we have made other options for people who do not have the cash for a twin EDF brushless setup......that way every one can have some fun!!!.........perhaps youi would like us just to post painted planes to cover up the build?.....but our customers would, we think....like to know what they are buying!
best regards.
Mike.

Hi Mike, I appreciate your comeback, inappropriate comment removed by moderator but I am not sure why you are describing the build of a jet hence the my name "Jetguy" I have 4 jets and know how to build, I just hate covering them, anyway yes you have me there, pusher props are for low budgeters but a good EDF fan is not all that expensive, for instance the New GWS EDF55-150 are great fans and they are affordable, same as pusher maybe 10 bucks diff, you cant go wrong. may not power your jet to 100mph but the next step up could, all I am saying is your jet does not look scale, I looks like it has been paved or something, make a scale looking jet that has good EDF fans in it, and add more color to your jet, a nice thunder bird F16 scheme or F16 Fighting Falcon, its your choice Mike, just lose the charcoal black ok, for me please, you owe it to your self.

Jetguy....do i know you?..................have i wronged you in another life?............Right lets get to business!!!!
Stiffen it up.....think you need to get your facts right...we at green air have spent 1000`s of pounds adn 1000`s or hours testing fans, motors, cells and combinations of such.
The new GWS fans are very good, BUT....you dotn get the speed!..we have tested Vasa55`s, vasa65`s, minifas, microfans, midifans..and they all have thier place in rc flight.....but we do not believe that this is the best option for this plane....You obviously havent looked at the videos on our site of the F-15 and the Mig-29 or you wouldnt be talkng in such a manner.
WE also try to offer our aircraft to everybody not just people like you who by inference appear not to have and other finantial obligations, the idea is that this is fun!!...its the chioce of the consumer..
My personal F-15 started life as a EDF powered by a vasa55 and brushless motor....and it was nice...and i use the word nice loosly..now its powered by a hacker with well over 100mph capable and now it flies like a jet!!!!now you say you are a jet flyer and builder but its very apparent that you are not a designer, because you say ifs designed scale then it should fly scale.....you ever heard of reynolds numbers?......hmmm efficiciency the of wing in relationto their size......so just a quick lesson in aerodynamics.."the smaller the wing the lower the reynold number"...ergo.......less efficient it is......so compromises have to be made!!!!! you get where im going with this!!!!, you claim your a clever guy go do the maths!!
Also i said earlier that the picture above of te Mig is not painted!! so i will say it a bit louder for you!! ITS NOT PAINTED!!!!!!!!! this is bear depron!!!! adn blue foam straight from the CNC cutter!!!!!!!
I agree that a nice paint job is required but im not selling painted planes im selling kits...very accurat kits.......not hand cut kits!!!! kits designed using one of the most modern techniques available..also we are the only kit manufacturer of kits of the is type in the world (at the mo)........adn we have many many happy customers to boot.
So you obviously dont like our kits so please go have a look at other kits!!! there are many to chose from!!!..i appreciate constructive critacism....but i have read all of your posts on here and...well....i personlay dont think your people skills are as good as you think your building skills are.
Oh and my F-15 was faster than 55mph on vasa55..i just didnt like it!!! needed more speed..personal chioce.
refreshing as alway to talk with you, nice to see that you have opinions........
take care and happy jet building.
Mike.
