  • Official wish list for new products.

    Some of the other threads are getting filled with new product request and ideas so I started this thread so that you can put all of your request here and Alpha has promised to check it every single day:Silly:

    Thanks for starting this thread TiredIron!

    Personally for me all I want is a proper twin 80mm MiG-29 with thrust vectoring and in the Red Star colors, that'd be something I'd buy in a heartbeat.

    Of course, I'm not picky towards MiGs, if they released any of the others (80mm MiG-15/17/23, twin 80mm MiG-25/31) I'd buy them too.
    For any of their scale jets I prefer the 80mm size as they pack a punch, have good flight times, and seem to be easier on the batteries than the 90s.
    And maybe they could release a 80mm A-7, F-8, and/or a F-105 as well, but that depends on their sales numbers from the two that are 64mm. Heck, even the two 64mm as 4S birds would be great!

      Please keep it mind my requests are without regard to how it would affect the price of a model if it’s included in a PNP, ROI, or any other factors, simply my wants/requests :Cool:. I understand if and why some or all won’t be possible to produce for one reason or another.

      1. A one piece 9-blade fan EDF Power System with inrunner motor as the optional “upgrade” for a 80 or 90mm EDF jet, not just the current 12-blade upgrade with inrunner.

      2. A Motion-RC/Freewing RC Flight Simulator. This would be great to have our favorite models in a sim. that simulate a particular aircrafts flight characteristics and functionality when we don’t get a chance to get to the field, fly a few models on the sim. as I save to purchase it, or have fun flying a newly announced model in the sim. before I receive the real one.

      3. More size ranges in the Admiral Carbon Graphene line-up of batteries. I can imagine Motion is feeling the waters right now with it’s single battery offering and price point, and that’s okay, but hope to see further LiPo’s in the future. I can be specific on desired size ranges if need be.

      4. More realistic pilot molds, especially jet pilots, of several size ranges. They have been much improved over the years, but would like to see further improvement.

      5. On models that would allow, possibly a removable top hatch that is discrete and close to the CG range to place additional electronics such as telemetry, soundcard, gyro, etc.

      6. F-22 80/90mm EDF jet

      7. F-18 80/90mm EDF jet

      8. Mig-29 80/90mm EDF Jet

      9. F-100 80/90mm EDF Jet

      10. Mig-25 80/90mm EDF Jet

      11. Mig 15/17 80/90mm EDF Jet

      12. B-737 70/80mm EDF jet

      13. Learjet

      14. Su-35 80mm EDF jet

      15. F9 Cougar

      16. T-6 Texan II. 1600+mm wingspan

              I would like the OV10, Hellcat, and an A26 at 1600mm. Also a PNY at 2000mm using the same power system in the tigercat/P38. and 2000mm+ i would like to see the 4 engine bombers to include a Lancaster, B17, and B29 with sufficient battery space for pairs of 5000mah 4s packs or better. On the edf side, a nice 80mm F22, and a YF23 to go with. I also think a 2000mm swing wing B1B with twin 80mm fans would be something to behold.

                  1700 mm war birds or larger, formed with close cell epo and actual cockpits or cockpit upgrades available.

                  1. Hellcat is just begging to be in the 1700 mm or larger class.
                  2. Spitfire
                  3. A Corsair that does not have wings that individually weigh more than the entire fuse (sarcasm, I think, FMS 1700 mm Corsair has some really heavy wings)
                  4.

                          Great suggestions from T-Cat regarding more realistic pilots, flight sim and a hatch for gyros, sound cards etc.

                          Grass field capability is a must for me so this means grass capable gear and a cheater that is not affected by the addition of a FOD grill. Speaking of which an aftermarket FOD grill would be a great accessory (perhaps available as a 3d printable part to fit each model?)

                          My wish-list includes one not mentioned above and the re-work of a couple of old favourites.

                          EDF:
                          midsize+ Hawker Hunter (plus blue-note :))
                          midsize+ F/A18 (EPO - no vectored thrust)
                          midsize++ Yak130, lightened, reworked version (lighter pilots, resized ordnance, 9 bladed fan etc), or perhaps an M-346 version should that win the T-X Advanced Pilot training competition)

                          Edit: The gear on my Stinger 90 and A4 work well on our grass club field. However, the front gear on these models does seem a little soft / under-damped compared to the mains, causing some 'bucking bronco' like pitching on take-off and landing at times. I realise that plenty of work has gone into spring rates etc.at the factory, but maybe this is one area where recalibration of spring rates would be helpful for us grass field only guys.

                            This new lack of post editing time feature l am not particularly fond of, ha-ha. I went back to add more to my original post above by editing it instead of typing another post, but I have to post a separate reply since I cannot edit the first post. Anyhow, below is a new post with additional thoughts I had LOL.

                            1. Wood or plastic additions, tabs, etc., near/on the EDF foam cover to help remove and install the EDF cover without potential risk of making impressions in the foam. Something like this would help grip onto the piece much easier, and likely could be created without detriment to aerodynamics and aesthetics.

                            2. Divots/cut-outs/impressions in the models foam mold near the servo pockets at the point of the servo arm screw to allow for easier access to the servo arm screw for when adjustment/removal is needed of the arm for centering, etc. Currently I just cut out a small piece of foam near the servo arm if that is necessary to reach the screw and then glue it back in neatly, and that is fine, but would be nice not to have to do that.

                            3. Plastic servo pockets (I know...I know...we used to have them, but I liked them), not servo covers, servo pockets. Having a plastic servo pocket is nice if servo removal is needed for replacement, etc., without damaging the underlying foam since the servo is glued into the plastic pocket, not the foam of the model aircraft.

                              Looks like they are already doing this based on the new L-39.

                                  Well, shiver me timbers! Thanks for noticing that. I requested that last year here on this forum and RCg (or maybe not RCg), but cannot remember the response I got here on the forums from Motion RC. I’m glad to see that implemented. I wonder if it’s on any of the other servos. I just found a picture from Bajora that looks to show all servos having the cutout, but it is too difficult to tell.

                                  Alpha, Stuart, Bajora, and anyone with the plane, can you clarify? AND....thank you for adding the request to this jet and hopefully future offerings :Cool:;):).

I requested that last year here on this forum and RCg (or maybe not RCg), but cannot remember the response I got here on the forums from Motion RC. I’m glad to see that implemented. I wonder if it’s on any of the other servos. I just found a picture from Bajora that looks to show all servos having the cutout, but it is too difficult to tell.

                                      Alpha, Stuart, Bajora, and anyone with the plane, can you clarify? AND....thank you for adding the request to this jet and hopefully future offerings :Cool:;):).
                                      I saw some close up pics of the undersides of the wings, and yes they are doing it on all servos.

                                        Giddy-up! Well, that is one request check marked off my list LOL. ;)

                                        Edit: I just found the thread where I requested it and it was in 2016. Time flies by, geez. I didn’t realize it was that long ago. It’s incredible to see how Motion RC and Freewing listen to feedback and customer requests. So, a huge THANKS to all of them for continuing to improve the products and working hard for us hobbyists and the hobby. :Cool::Hug:
