Very nice!
It will be great if they can do an all-grey scheme too as although the tiger scheme is fantastic for visibility, I can understand it it's not to everyone's taste.
More details ASAP please FMS!

Not to ruin the party, but okay time to nitpick:

don't see the main gear door (should be fairly easy to add, with or without servos)
canard angled off (full scale angled up a bit like 5 degrees or so? I did see some 3 view picture shows no dihedral)
main wing should have a bit anhedral

The canard looks functional

But, most pilots don't care, right?

The slow flying IS REALLY nice, and is a good relief to know that this Rafale is not too heavy like many contemporary foam EDF's, and seems very stable.

Wonder why this seems not a joint venture with Eflite, but I am glad FMS has their own projects nevertheless

This just demotivated me from further rework on the old 70mm HK Rafale sigh

I'm willing to bet we get an eflite version with a different color scheme. Don't quote me on that just a guess.

Very cool to see a Rafale. I like that it is a 80mm EDF, visually will be easy to see with that paint scheme, there appears to be main gear doors, and dual nose gear lights to simulate the full scale.

I need to watch the videos on a larger screen, but I can't tell yet if it has functioning canards. It will be nice to hear of more specs. as further information is released.

If Horizon doesn't release this under their brand(s), then the US market at the moment would have q difficult time getting one from China (at least within a reasonable and consistent amount of time).
