Even the real life lightning was a huge gas hog. It was basically limited to take off, intercept and return to base. Plus with its short wings I would imagine an RC pilot would be limited to just doing straight line passes.

I would like to see an F-101B, that’s the two seat version that had a RIO (radar intercept operator) in the the back. It was developed for Air Defense Command as a Cold War interceptor and carried the first nuclear air to air Genie missiles. They were used in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Anyway I think it would fly well in foam. It’s a beautiful and iconic jet.

Ok, I know everyone likes to beat the old classics to death. But I think Flightline might consider making a Grumman F4F Wildcat. As far as I can tell we only have a meager offering in this particular aircraft. Only Banana's, and a couple of park flyers. I have the Parkzone, and Eflight variants. E-flights micro is notorious for just up and flying away when it feels like it, the Parkzone is made out of paper mache. Consequently they both fly well when they fly, exceptional well as a matter of fact. Something to think about.

I have a friend that at one point was interested in the E-flight Wildcat but was turned off for not having retracts. I even looked into modifying it with the Retract unit from Bananas model and noticed most of the parts were out of stock every time I checked the site. Then I remembered the 2nd reason I have stayed away from BH models. So I do agree that there really isn't a good scale Wildcat offering. The F4F Wildcat is now the only airplane missing from MRC lineup of Grumman cats.Warbird Charlie

Ahhhhhhh Geeeeez............ the poor F6F Hellcat still ain't getting no lovin cause it isn't in the MRC Flight Line lineup where it belongs versus the Dynam. :Smug:
I am more concerned about the models that don't have a decent version available or that are completely absent from the market. In this case we were referring to the F4F Wildcat not the F6F Hellcat. :Confused:

Yeah, the Dynam Hellcat is decent or shall we say is sufficient to get ya by because there isn't anything else available but it certainly don't compare to the remaining FMS 1400 Hellcats that exist.
I have the FMS Hellcat and cherish it, just dreaming that FL will make one at the level of the Spitty and Corsair cause I know mine has that yet to be determined expiration date. ;)
Actually it would be an absolute slam dunk if FL released both a Wildcat and Hellcat at the same time.:Cool:Warbird Charlie

I say that because of the short wing span that would require a higher speed to keep it flying. With that higher speed you need more throttle depleting the battery even faster and if it is a 90mm even worse!
