If you do decide to grab one of these FMS birds do some research if you are in the US, I have heard a lot of bad stories about the vendor that produced the video, they don't have A good rep at all!

PW-rc and rc castle in Singapore are 2 great stores to deal with, the customer service you will get from them is fantastic, http://www.pw-rc.com/index.php/cPath/126?osCsid=7c483c23d320dcf33f1ade60153e7a94 http://rc-castle.com/shop/index.php?manufacturers_id=55 Plus they also stock a lot of spares which is great! The new 109, and 190 have not been released yet, but should be within the next few weeks, the FMS Stuka, zero, hellcat, and p-38 are also really nice models from what I have seen, and for what they are ( foamies) Craig Craig _________________________ The problem with the World is stupidity.

Some of the ARF's are available as a kit with none of the hardware pre-assembled which leads me to believe they are all manufactured by the same source company and sold by distributors under their own label. _________________________ Windows 7 32 SP1 Gigabyte GA770 probably obsolete already AMD Phenom II X4 3.1Ghz really an X3 unlocked and overclocked ATI HD 5830 1Gb 256 bit it was cheap 4 x 1Gb GSkill 1333Mhz looks pretty on the MB X-Fi Xtreme Creative Soundcard - cheap pair of headphones "She put carbolic in my coffee, turpentine in my tea, Strychnine in my biscuits, Lord but she didn't hurt me."

IV/JG7trumps Member Registered: 05/18/04 Posts: 829 Loc: Perth australia	the larger 1400mm size ones listed as FMS are only sold under the FMS label, they aren't even sold as Airfield now by nitroplanes.

WWChunk Junior Member Registered: 02/01/05 Posts: 65 Loc: SF Bay Area, CA	Trumps is 100% correct. NP use to re-brand FMS planes into their airfield line; that's no longer the case. The sole US distributor for FMS planes is BananaHobby going forward. PW-RC and RC Castle will also carry them, and I know for a fact that they are outstanding when it comes to supplies of replacement parts for FMS.
