What new Propeller models would you like to see next?

[rifleman_btx]

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!

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.

How about maybe an O-2 @ 2000 :P;)LOL

Sure why not. :PLOL

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

[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

The full scale O2 / C-337 retract system (like the C-182 RG) uses cables to pull the retracts up, gravity drop most of the way down then cable pulls it into the locked position.

The answer for RC would be similar to the Freewing F-14 solution. Just swing them in a non-scale manner. (using gear doors on the C-337

WE WANT SILVERPLATE! WE WANT SILVERPLATE! WE WANT SILVERPLATE! WE WANT SILVERPLATE! WE WANT SILVERPLATE!:Scared:

[RRHandy]

What you all just SAID.... ;)

[Jpahemi1]

I’d really like to see a B-29 or a 1600 mm Bf-109 to go along with the Spitfire. I’d be happy with either but both would be better

[rifleman_btx]

Yes i think 2000mm is good for 4 engine planes, but not twins.

[RCjetdude]

A big (2000mm at least) beautiful C-130!!

[rifleman_btx]

Yeah, the appeal of the O-2 makes it seem like a no-brainer, yet very few have been made. It fits for civilian, fits for military, fits for twin engine fliers, fits for those who want a high wing, and generally everyone likes it. No doubt the retracts could be an issue, but it wouldn't deter me if it came with fixed gear that looked scale. The tricycle landing gear would also be great for grass fields. There aren't too many single airframes that would appeal to such a wide group of pilots.

They could do the retracts similarly to how flyzone did the seawind system and it would still have a sweet look to it.

[Valkpilot]

The B-29 is already one the top requested list. But the B-36 is massive and with it's 6X prop engines and its 4X turbojet engines it would make this a very complex model to do in foam within the limitations of 1600mm and to keep it a decent price.
Even as impressive as this scratch build is it makes you cringe that it might crash. This particular model has only been tested but has yet to fly.

The reason I quoted those specific models of the B-36 is because they DID NOT have jet pods when produced. Even so, to make it cheapest, you'd have fake jet pods and only four working engines with the outboard
ones freewheeling, or make it with "six turning". And I'd like a 12 or 1400 de Havilland Mosquito, or de Havilland Hornet.
