I have said many times I'd NEVER buy anything from Banana Hobby. Well I did. I wanted to duplicate my larger EDF fleet with smaller models I could toss around at the soccer field. F16, Sabre, F-35 and Mig. I ordered a mini blitz F-16 kit. Only $39 plus shipping. The order was processed and then I was notified it was out of stock. The next thing I got an email and they said they had refunded my CC. Just to be sure, I went on live chat and I was informed that they had, indeed, refunded the card. Wow. That was painless. Sooooooooooooo, I ordered a mini Mig. It's due here Friday. UPS confirmed. Anybody want to make a bet on how this story is going to end?  |

With a little frustration. My mini AMX took some finagling, but it's a simple and fun mini edf I toss around every now and then.

I look forward to one that has 'enough' power.
How do you define 'enough'?
At least 1:1 thrust to weight!

Hey rpm,
I think you have Bieber Fever ha ha, ok not funny but anyway I purchased the 6ch. Blue Angel F-18 Hornet from banana hobby and man she is beautiful. I am close to purchasing one of the Mig 12Ch. according to Banana its one of the best with thrust vectoring. If it helps any I think they have done some good to bring us new EDF's that don't cost too much, and I think you will like the mini. Post some pics of it in action so we can check it out.

It actually came today. It looks to be in perfect shape and the paper work and even the labeling on the box were all designed with customer satisfaction in mind. Could things be changing for the better at Banana Hobby? It came with a motor. I wasn't expecting that. Decent foam and assembly work too. Throw in a couple of servos, a battery and ESC with one of my Target Rx's and the whole thing won't cost $70. Cheap fun.  rfloops. Good to hear your experience with BH has been positive. I haven't had anybody to do flying video until recently so I should be able to post some vids this Spring. I think this little plane is going to be fine. If it is, I plan on getting more and at some point would even consider buying one of the larger ones. Maybe a TV. |

That's good to hear. I'd be interested to see some pics and get a flight report. It's always good to hear success with BH.
