With the huge success of the B-24 release, it is clear that the best marketing solution for MotionRC is to release all further multi-engine releases in 2000mm, including the Bronco, which would be awesome. With plug in wings, transport is not an issue. ;)
PS The U2 would be cool, but I can't see an easy solution for the wing tip pogo gear. TO and landing would be problematic.

The way I see it, a well done U-2 could be done to satisfy us scale guys and give a nice big moto-glider to fly. I would consider 70mm on 6S so that you can still get that crazy U-2 climbout. Once at altitude, sit back and fly it like a Radian, using the motor just to bring it up to altitude again. Would be a nice relaxing experience to fly. Would also be neat if you put a high def camera in the belly and take some recon photos to hunt for lost planes.
That said, the gear would be a challenge for takeoff/landing. You would need some sort of outrigger wheels to support the wing tips, either some light servo driven retracts or a half-recessed wheel in the tip.
With the gear challenges, another cool alternative for a similar flight experience could be a Global Hawk.

Sorry jhnybdg... it doesn’t matter what we think. If you’d like one there is no problem with that. Being a Global Hawk Sensor Operator for 7 years was not anywhere close to being as “fun” as being a Loadmaster on C-5s and C-17s. The U-2 flys similar to the GH. Super high altitude and in so small of a flight envelope that you’re within a 10 knot window of either stalling or ripping the wings off. A scale C-17 would be awesome but I’m biased. I have the Tiang Shen version but it’s kinda a POS... it runs 4 55mm EDF fans on a single 4s battery. It also comes with a working cargo ramp for airdropping toy army g1 Photo

I'd definitely go for a decent modern EDF powered U-2.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

Rifleman, they are similar to bangood and the other Chinese direct stores. They are like a shady version of Amazon minus the customer service..And shipping might take quite a while.
