No more F4 Phantoms?

[CrshNBrn]

It never fails...just when I started getting serious about pulling the trigger to purchase a FT F-4 Phantom, it disappears from the store. Wah-waah

My hope is that its absence is just temporary and not a reflection of the lack of love for the plane in the reviews and on the forums. I'd hate for them to pull it permanently...at least until I can buy a kit. If there's anybody else out there who was considering building one, perhaps they can contact the FT Store as well. With enough voices, they might do another production run.

Fingers crossed and holding my breath.

Thank you. I always forget there's other options.

What’s the story with that makerfoam.com? It’s clearly the same website as flitetest.com but with slightly different ads.

That is FT's marketing name for their foamboard

Yeah, but I wonder why there’s a separate but nearly identical website, along with different availability for the same product. That’s odd.

 

[CrshNBrn]

I noticed that too. The Makerfoam store website also indicated it wouldn't ship F4's to Oregon; looks like I need to give them a call because that's never been an issue with the other FliteTest store. Are they both in Ohio?

Any of you old timers or FT insiders know why there's two stores?

Hey Guys,

FYI the Maker Foam store is just a test site not a real store so anything you see there is not real inventory.

As for the Master Series F4. That is cut at John Overstreet's FT Midwest facility. They have been notified of what we are out of.
Once we get them back they will go back on the store.
I am sorry I can give you more info but that is all we know at this time.
We do not have an ETA on when we will have these in stock

Yeah, he is fine. He has growing kids and puting his family first.

 

[Crazed Scout Pilot]

as one of five I understand that!
I think it would be cool if he did some master series mini jets with like 50 mm edf

Does anyone have pdf plans for an f-22?

 

[Mr NCT]

Here is a fairly complete plans index. It's worth bookmarking. It has plans for a mini F-22 and a larger one.

Here is a video of a beautiful f-22 that you could build. I think there are plans on rc plans. Com.
