Hmm..... I wonder if that might give it away.... I'd like to see another guess or two, then I'll disclose if it's a Freewing or FlightLine.

Thanks, tclaridge, as always we hope to do your waiting justice and make every investment with us worth your hard earned cash!
Boots, alright, fair enough, I suppose that did count as two guesses.
Project Foil is a Freewing EDF. :)Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

F-4's called "chaffers" were used in Vietnam to create 15-minute airborne corridors of metal foil strips that degraded enemy SAM and AAA radars. Up to 20 F-4's accompanied each raid, dropping Mk 129 chaff bombs at slow speed...the chaff configurations were changed several times until the tech reps brought the dispenser on line that would effectively provide chaff for the corridor. There were plenty of efforts to try and "tune" the dispersal rate so as to gain the maximum radar return, resulting in the length of some chaff strips being increased. I never knew this until now but I bet those guys would have been in the most vulnerable part of the missions.

"Of course, 'foil' could refer to something else as well, being that the word, out of context, could refer to fooling someone or a fencing weapon as well".
You heard it from me first, not that I know any insider information, but 'foil' and 'Sabre' seem to point to an F-100
We'll see
