What new Propeller models would you like to see next?

Like heading to the field after taking some oxycontin. Just isnt gonna end well.

Guaranteed to break something...

The Wright Flyers were all terribly unstable... Only years of practice controlling kite mock-ups allowed the Wright Brothers to succeed.

You especially do not want scale roll control, since it is wing warping with massive adverse yaw.

The airplane had "Anhedral" or reverse of dihedral... making it try to roll inverted when rudder was applied. Failure to coordinate the turn with rudder and wing warp was a guaranteed way to plant the airplane in the dirt.

I want a 1905 Wright Flyer(the world's first practical airplane and not a kit but a bind-n-fly or PNP. Can it please come in something like a 44" wingspan?

No, you don’t. There’s nothing fun about an airplane that is looking for a place to crash.

my fav fixed gear warbird is a jap aiche val.....

[Evoman]

this would make a nice plane, fixed gear, no retract problems. it is a prototype for the A5 m3 i think?
I don't care much for the paint scheme, but that could be anything

If you prefer a fixed gear warbird the Ju 87 Stucka might be your best bet as it would be guaranteed to sell well for a good return on the investment to develop it. If they are able to include the dive siren it would be a hot seller.

Has there been a project name released for the next Flightline product yet?

[rifleman_btx]

Yes! Game on with those!

A silver A26 would make sense from flightline with interchangeable gun nose and clear nose

I would certainly buy an A 26 and if they were to make an FW 190 and a WW 2 Corsair, all in the 1600 mm size I would order all three of them as soon as they announce them.

[Evoman]

I like the idea of a CL-415 but it would have to have retracts and be able to carry a load of water to air drop it. Heck you can even see the open drop doors open at the bottom.

[vrosi1963]

He115 Twin Engine Floatplane...


FW190 in winter clothing....



CL 215 without the water....

CL-415 JET PROP

This here is what flight line needs to make. I for one think there working hard on one of these. But heck wada I know. I gave you your OV-10. Now here's a professionals plane. LOL

To me this is Super Duper Cool!!

Who would not want a do335 or HE-219 and a Kyushu j7w ?? from flighline in there fleet .

The main added cost of the contra rotation is the second ESC. Second is machining the hollow shaft and the rear prop mount.

They don't have to be as expensive as they are... Mass production in large numbers would cut the cost. So far there has not been high enough demand.

[OV10]

Yes contras are possible;) They have been used in F3A for the last couple years.
Just google them and you'll find there are some affordable ones for birds turning props from 8 to 15 diameters.
Himax is one of the well known manufactures but a tad pricey.

[Evoman]

Here is a working prototype of contra-rotating propellers set up for the Wyvern. It is possible!

Here is a different project with the same concept but it gives better detail of the build.
