I had been thinking of other twin engine civilian airplanes that would be good candidates to offer another alternative to the ONLY other option the Dynam 310 Grand Cruiser. And as I was watching a clip from the movie American Made I thought why not the Piper Aerostar 600!
I am sure plenty of other RC pilots out there attempt short takes off's from short runways all the time anyways! lol Who else would be interested in an Aerostar?

How about a couple of Vietnam era FAC aircraft that have been almost completely ignored? I am referring to the L-19/O-1 Bird Dog and the O-2A!! My Dad flew the L-19 and I would love a model of her complete with the famous 60 degree "Barn Door" flaps that allowed her to dang near hover! Oh I wish someone would do these two great aircraft. They would be so fun to fly!!

Please, please, please return the Douglas A1 Skyraider in one form or another. Maybe the truth is that this plane is not well liked. Maybe it's too "proprietary" or too ugly for people to accept as a new FlightlLine or Freewing version. They no longer exist as an RC foamie model and maybe they just never hit the right nerve...

If you check the HSDGO.com web site they appear to have a few of the HSD 1600mm A-1 kits still in stock. It's a kit so you'll have to fit it out with your preferred components. My good forum friend, "F22trainer" posted a link right here in this thread for a company that offered a verity of beautiful very large A-1 Skyraiders with wooden pre-built construction.
So it gives my heart gratitude that some have felt it was worth preserving in the RC modeling world. Flightline could easily have this one in it's stable if it chose to do so. I believe the A-1 SkyRaider replaced the Corsairs during the Korean conflict. Corsairs were heavily being used for ground attack aircraft in the beginning of the conflict. The Skyraider could carry a lot more bombs, missiles, and ammunition. If I was on the opposing side, I wouldn't like seeing them approach the battle field, they were a beast in the air.
I believe FMS has the mold and the tooling to produce these right now today. Kicker is who ever chooses to offer this beautiful plane has to make a quantity purchase of at least 500 planes minimum. Motion, "could" do their magic to this kit, lights, Corsair landing gear, etc, and have a winner for sure. (this is all opinion) It might not sell early on as well as they would like. But alas it's their company, and their money not mine.
One last thing, the 1600mm A-1 sounds amazing! That huge 4 bladed prop it turns makes a sound all it's own. You have to hear one too believe it.
Best Regards

I too would like Flightline/Freewing to do this, but I think they're busy with an F-35 that really isn't my cup of tea. : ).

It's 800mm, small little thing, but very well done, and it fly's great! Have to be careful on take off as it's swinging a huge 4 bladed prop in relationship to it's size, so smooth, right rudder take offs are a must with this one. Once in the air it fly's really nice. As a matter of fact I keep it in the back seat of my truck and take it every where I go. One of my favorite planes, I can fly it almost anywhere.
