    Lest we forget the good old Douglas A1 Skyraider. It would be great to see a "dialed in" new model by Freewing/ FlightLine with all the "fixins". 63 inch to join the res of the crew that's been building since the Tigercat and P38. I love the Skyraider.....What can I say!....

    I'm still hoping for a Hurricane as the next single engine 1600 mm release as Alpha has repeatedly popped my bubble for an Me 109E or a Buchon:Crying2:

    I'd also like to see some WWI aircraft developed. Not enough available.
    Welcome to my bandwagon I’ve been asking for one for years. I don’t care if it’s done by Dynam as long as it is done. Oh yea it has to be the version with a radial engine the B version not the Super B with a turbine.

    John Ranson has done probably the most scale RC model of a Hornet. I've been collecting books and drawings for a long time and as Ranson says even some of the drawings at the RAF museum are inaccurate. I've redrawn a few of the "best" drawings I have with stated dimensions and I keep coming up short or long at various places. They are close but when you're a scale geek accuracy is everything. Apparently original factory drawings do exist but no one has taken the time to do the research and translate them into available 2D or 3D drawings for us modelers. David A. Collins has co-wrote a book on the Hornet and is a modeler and is probably one of the most knowledgeable people to inquire of scale details and dimensions for this aircraft.

    Here's a video of John's Hornet.


    RC Groups thread...


    If MRC ever undertakes with this subject I'd suggest they get in contact with David A. Collins in the UK.

    The only German twin that could come before the Bronco without me going on a Alpha hunt safari is the DO 335 and the market would support this.;)

    I was working in a hanger and on the flight line on Hawaiian Air National Guard F 102 s while they were filming Tora Tora Tora. We were really near the edge of Pearl Harbor at the end of the civilian airport there. Some of our Pilots volunteered to go over and fly the airplanes in that movie and were turned down because they didn't have anything but Jet experience they were really upset :) watching the planes Wheeling around in the sky and making passes over Pearl Harbor with the explosions and the Smoke and Flames going up in the air was as near as it'll ever be to being there in 1941.

    Correct.

    Most (all?) were modified for the movie "Tora Tora Tora"

    There are exactly 2 remaining original flyable Zeros. One with original engine (last I heard)

    I wear out FMS 1450 mm T28s and replace them with a new one regularly because they fly so well.

    it doesn't matter how many inferior ones have been produced by other companies earlier, we know the difference is like night and day between Freewing/Flight line planes and the inferior brands.
    that's why we are here pleading our case.
    The FMS zero is likely the best flying foam rc ever made.

    Many of us have Charlie's back on the OV-10.....There is a need for some well done German twins. They could always have a livery option as an American "captured" version to make it more appealing to the "I'll never fly a German bird" crowd.:);). They did make some interesting aircraft. That's the appeal to me.

    Another vote for the Heinkel He-219 UHU. Of course, then they'd need to follow it up with a mosquito, but everyone knows how those would sell.

    Ah yeah, that baby is a must have. Other than the tigercat, you cant find a nicer flying model. So smooth and sexy, a huge reason for making her an fpv ship for me!:Cool:
