I’d really like to see a twin 80mm or single 90mm F-101 Voodoo with all the bells and whistles retracts with full gear doors, air brakes.

I really wish there was a nice sized F-22 raptor with scale retracts and power similar to the avanti. The only decently sized f22 i have been able to find is my old hangar 9 balsa model, which isnt very scale dimension-wise and is prop driven. Flies great but its just not quite satisfying that f22 craving.

I'm actually not certain if any has done one of these. This is a PT-22 Ryan. My uncle actually restored one of these, and flew it to the Mentor Field Air Show, and put it on static display. It was easily as nice a ether of these. Maybe better, you just had to see his restoration work, unbelievable to put it lightly. So he's visiting with people at the air show, (about 1985 or so). This scruffy looking guy walks up and asks my uncle, "How much for the Ryan"? My uncle and his wife pondered it for a few seconds, my uncle says 250 thousand. He figured it was worth about 50 thousand at the time. The guy proceeds to hand him a check for 250 thousand dollars. My uncle was literally speech less. He actually liked the plane and was planning on keeping it for a while. But like most, when someone offers you 5 times what something is worth, he took the money. He went on and restored about 5 more planes before his death.
So I always thought it was a beautiful plane.
Best Regards

PT-19/23 is better known and so similar that the Ryan aircraft get confused with the Fairchild aircraft. It doesn't help that the series numbers squeeze the Ryans in between the Fairchilds.
So we end up with several kits, ARFs and RTFs of the PT-19 and hard to find a Ryan.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

A 2M U2 would only look realistic with a 70mm, running 4s. Any larger edf and it'll just become a parts plane, and yes the OV10 could do many more times what the U2 could do in speed, aerobatics and absolute fun factor. Have you seen what the OV10 can do in Afghanistan? I would venture not.
