tigerman Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 So what the hell happened to the FMS Rafale ? It has been over 6 months now and I have heard some rumours that the FMS Rafale had a lot of problems from the outset .Think FMS might have shot themselves in the foot with this one .Even a well no blocker test flew it and promised to follow the video up but never did .Which tells me every think I need to know ,Cancelled my Rafale order and brought the Freewing Gripen instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I suspect the pure frustration of wanting something that is just out of reach! I remember that feeling when I was in my yoof, but then it was girls! Edited March 9, 2021 by Ron Gray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Fry Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) It’s a matter of yin and yan. Tigerman is in the UK, wants one, and can’t get one. I live in France, can get one, don’t want one. And so the universe remains in balance. I also remember girls Edited March 9, 2021 by Don Fry Spelling 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRC Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 i work for a company that sells freewing and I'd like to confirm that the Gripen is better than the rafale. Freewing = great, everything else = rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the point? 🤨 This model may have had a tricky birth but it doesn't look too bad to me, though the price for these kind of foamies is eye-watering these days...

Freewing = great, everything else = rubbish Interesting you should say that. I’ve been looking at both the Freewing and FMS Yak130 EDFs. It seems to me that the FMS is of higher quality. For one thing, the FMS has proper sprung undercarriage oleos where the Freewing has simple wire retracts. I guess a wire undercarriage makes it cheaper, but am I missing something?
