Hi JLogan!
If necessary, you are encouraged to contact us for technical assistance and solutions, especially if you are still within an active warranty period. Our records indicate that you had indeed purchased a B-17, however any inquiries regarding the complications stated above are nonexistent. At any rate, as for the ME-262, please feel free to preorder now as they may go fast! Thanks! -Seba |

Let us remember that not all foamies are created equal.....
Just because the Dynam 262 and the Freewing 262 are the same size and use the same size fans does not make them of equal value. I have flown the Dynam Me-262 and it was pretty decent. The landing gear was pretty crude, I thought and on the model I was flying (a buddies) it had failed early, leaving one main leg intermittent. I will say that my Freewing Su-35 had a much better finish and was more refined in design and construction than most other foamy offerings. Compared to the Dynam Me-262, it was far superior. The Dynam model looked like it had been painted by someone in kindergarden, IMO. The Freewing metal strut electronic retracts in the Su-35 were quite a bit better than the ones I saw in the Dynam 262. I like the opposite rotation fans on the Su-35 and it is my understanding that the same units are used in the Freewing 262. My Freewing Su-34 has around 130-140 flights on it, with no issues except occasional fan breaks, usually after FOD ingestion. Easy and cheap to replace. Is the Freewing 262 worth 150 more than the Dynam? I am not sure, but given my experience with Freewing, the cost is not completely out of line and there are certainly certain aspects of the Freewing 262 that are notably superior to the Dynam offering. I would be an instant buyer at around 300. Might still be a buyer even at 350. |

The Freewing has much better looking nacelles. I already mentioned the crude camo.I will say for a fact that my 6S Freewing SU-35 fans sound better than my buddies cheap 4S Dynam 262 setup... I will pay the slight weight penalty for the lower amps of the 6S system. The EPS foam is lighter, anyway.I own a couple of Dynam models:PBY, Cessna 310 and like them fine. However, they are simply not as refined as my Freewing models. I will agree that they could have done a better job on the nose profile, the gun ports and the canopy....I have yet to see a perfect foamy ARF from anyone, though. The Freewing 262 would be much improved with the Dynam canopy, I will admit... ![]() I stand by what I said. The Dynam is not bad at all for 200 bucks, but I think the Freewing will turn out to be a superior offering...at a price some will be willing to pay and some will not be willing to pay. |

Good evening Pilots.
The Freewing ME-262 have a much better scale and is better made. For this aircraft, it does not need glue as it uses series of plastic pieces to assemble, thus, eliminating the need for glue but it is also a personal preference if you wish to use the glue to have the aircraft more secure. The retracts were upgraded and is now running on metal retracts. The Freewing ME-262 also have flaps, different scale color scheme, and the flying characteristics. Sincerely, Nancy P. |
