  • What Fantasy Aircraft would you buy if mass produced in RC?

    Let me preface this by saying, we do not have any plans to make any of these, but I came across a nostalgia toy thread and remember playing with the GI Joe Conquest X-30 (attached picture). How cool would a 70-90mm version of that be? I know people have custom made Death Stars, Helicarriers etc. But what would be the top of your fantasy aircraft list?

    And just to reiterate: This is not a rumor mill of our intentions. Just an honest off-topic discussion.

    Ah yes the old X-30 that was based on the X-29. My brother had gotten it for Christmas and I had gotten the Cobra Raven. Good memories indeed.
    You might be interested in the Flite test X-29 kit that flies really well. https://store.flitetest.com/flite-te...t-1054/p702655

            Remember when that member of Congress held one of these models on the news, claiming it was quite accurate, and wondering how Testors managed to get ahold of a classified design?

            Then, the Government released information on the real Stealth Fighter, the F-117, and this model just vanished.

            I wonder how it would really fly as a scale EDF?

              It may do well just on the flying body principle, but being a mock up im sure it would fly like a delta

                There are so many cool fantasy aircraft that I would love to see.. If only the X-Wing could be easily made yaw and pitch stable, that would be the ultimate dream! Would require either a canard or some cheater vertical fins though.

                Other craft would include the Pelican from Halo, the SR-2 Normandy from the Mass Effect Series, the lifting body Spacecraft from the intro of Star Trek Enterprise, and the troop transport helicopter from Avatar.

                      Not sure how feasible it would be aerodynamically but the Viper is bad ass.

                                    A really good Bat-plane from the 1989 movie
                                    It would have to be twin EDF

                                    I'm experimenting on a twin 70mm EDF one, but its not an easy plane to make look right and still have it fly well.
                                    FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

                                    current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs
