        Yea I saw that Video of the HSD F86 Jet Powered Prototype. I thought it was pretty stunning. HSD if your watching, I'm not going to tell you the vid was not cool. It was. PROBLEM?? The price of this darn thing. HSD needs to focus more on 75 & 90mm Electric Driven Fans that common folk can afford to fly. As beautiful as the F-86 prototype is, (and it is awesome). Most people will never spend the money.

          Thats how i feel about 90mm+ fans and 1700mm+ single/twin engine prop planes. 2000+ for quad engines is good though and frankly necessary.

            Frankly, I'm happy with the MRC offering in relation to the F-86. Nice plane and affordable to purchase and operate. If I did buy one of these, as I probably won't in the near future. I don't think I could resist trying to refinish it in chrome monikote. Which would take a bit of time to say the least. Just think of how it would look though, I'm certain it would look really cool refinished like this.

                Mark my word, HSD has 5 planes in the works right now. The 747, T-33 , F-86 , New Viper and another project they won’t spill on. The problem is they can’t stock their current products so how in the heck are they going to bring these other products to market. I bet Alpha knows what’s going on at HSD. They do not have a reputation for product\customer support. Lots of pressure has been brought to these manufacturers by Motion and Freewing......The Bar Has Been Raised and there is no going back.

                  nice planes but none of these will grace my hanger, not my cup of tea. Fortunately Motion will keep new ones coming if all goes well.

                    Welp a MRC F-86 might grace mine someday. But an HSD, I really don't want to get started on a 3K model.

                      I am just amazed at BH, how do they stay in business ? 80% of their product is either backorder or preorder. The only things in stock is the LX garbage.....

                          True about the Viper, but no spare parts list, no product videos, etc...very weak.

                            If you click on the Viper, there is a spare parts link....HSD does not seem to offer the spare parts that a freewing or flightline does....but they are nice models nonetheless... I have had two Vipers and currently have the 105mm F-16....

                                  Agree, It really makes me wonder why HSD got together with them. I know they needed a warehouse and a partner but there are and were others out there that had a better reputation and would serve them better for their market niche. They have to get better on spares and support as well as marketing. Videos at the public park on a bench with a hat worn sideways does not inspire the "oh boy got to have one" response. If HSD is listing you can have a great product but if not supported sales will not follow. Case in point can be made in three letters. "MRC".

                                    Would like to know the story as to why Banana seems to have exclusivity here in the States with HSD....BH seem to have lost their FMS rights awhile back...I was hoping Motion would have added the product line as it is very good...and in my opinion a great way to bridge the EDF/Turbine gap.......Still hoping....

                                      Banana hobby should be a good hobby store 'cause they run it like a hobby, (not a business)

                                        Banana is like a failed experiment that has an outcome that just keeps reemerging on us.

                                          I received a message from Banana to that the new T-33 was ready for preorder, it comes in two versions, Edf or turbine.
