It's a numbers game, no doubt about it. I always appreciate all of the team's effort at Motion RC to explore ideas. If it doesn't work out financially, it won't make sense to do if it affects the bottom line to a point where business cannot be sustained at a high enough level. I would rather have an aircraft of great design within a price range I find appropriate, which is what I've seen over the years from Freewing and Motion RC, rather than be too picky over ordnance offerings. If it changes in the future where it is more feasible to do, then that's icing on the cake.
I didn't know what to call the "MWS" design of locking mechanism that mate the ordnance to the pylons LOL. What does MWS stand for? Motion Was Smart?

RCDJ, Are you going to start those soon? Also, do you know if there will be any 3DPUP cockpit parts and accessories for this airframe? Best, LB

Thanks!
DirtyDee and others have made tons of weapons for stuff like the A-10 and F-4 - all of which should be perfectly possible to scale to fitFreewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

Hey guys, I have a question concerning the wing tip rails. I ordered the BA version and I donˋt like to install the rails. At the tips there are two cones for better attachment of these. Now, could there arise an aerodynamic issue without the rails or doesnˋt it matter at all? I ˋm not quite sure. But drag should be reduced anyway. THX

Hi Wolfgang, welcome to Hobby Squawk! We designed the Hornet's wingtip rail to be held on with two screws. If you don't want it, just leave it off. The real BA retains the rail, but you can do whatever you want with your model. The aerodynamic advantage will be slight in this scale. Perhaps a barely perceptible increase in roll rate with the same aileron throw.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Hi Alpha, thanks for the quick reply. So not a problem at all. I thought, BA are without the rails. I ˋll try, which one looks better.
