What new Propeller models would you like to see next?

[QUOTE=Evoman;n152517} So what new FlightlineRC models would you like to see that would be realistically possible, popular to more than a few just a few individuals and that has not been done in foam yet?[/QUOTE]

E, Dittos on the Warbirds; a 1600mm Bf-109 and the 1600mm Grumman F6F would be fabulous. Although I understand there has been a foam B-17, I would still like to see one done to match the 2000mm B-24 Liberator in size, quality, and performance. As for more current aircraft, I'd like to see a 1600mm Beechcraft T-6C Texan 2. Seems like that would be a great flying aircraft and it is really a looker. Might get some younger guys fired up for a performance prop-driven aircraft... Best, LB

1600mm zero, 2000mm ov-10 or a mosquito would be awesome

No twins over 1600mm period.

Please do a 1600mm T-34C Turbo Mentor in the white and red training scheme!

You notice a clear message here MRC? Many of us find it important to have the retractable gear option on our flying boats.

There could be a chance of there being T-34 but it would most likely be in the 1200mm range. All of the bigger 1600mm models I have seen so far have been of more popular airplanes that are guaranteed to sell well. This is because larger models are more costly to develop and manufacture. So if model might have low volume sales it will be a low return on that big investment.

Much agreed!

While I am planning one of these as a scratch build, would make a nice production model. Cirrus may be more popular but these beat them every way possible in the real world of flying.
That said, C-119, Convair T-29 or the civil equivalents would be great. Some of course made popular by movies, etc. C-123 Con Air was special. Have never seen anyone market any prop liner - so it would be a first!
Unless of course you count the DC-3.

[F22trainer]

Add to my previous, the EMB-120 since it is still my favorite plane to fly.

I had to go to Pennsylvania last week on a small jet. Not use to riding on such a small frail plane, (it was a Cessna Citation XL). I took a turn in the right seat for a couple of hours going and coming, not much to do though. Was really surprised how solid it felt. Wouldn't let me take off and land, (Kind of a let down, d^^m Civilians). But we had to stop going and coming in Kansas for fuel, (Don't ask me where in Kansas, because honestly I wasn't paying any attention). But I was sitting in the back, and saw this. I woke up and snapped these picts. It's in the back ground so you'll have to look closely. I ask the FBO operator on the way back, and they said the owner has been working on this plane for 10 years running. It looked really good and solid from what I could tell, (from afar). Looked air worthy, but who knows, LOL.

This would make a really nice model. MRC! really, really nice model! guaranteed winner here. FYI. "Alpha" ??

The Meridian is a nice plane and would be a good model. I think a TBM 850 would be pretty sweet too or maybe a nice King Air!
