What new Propeller models would you like to see next?

[fhhuber]

Dynam usually, at least in my experience, usually has exceptional air frames. It's all the little things you usually have to straighten out. If they ever get there act together, they're going to be a serious competitor in this business. There foam finishing is exceptional in my opinion, some times you can't even tell it's foam. But I'm sure many, many feel differently.

PS Dynams retracts really, really suck, just sayin. Always consider this. But once you get a good set of retracts installed they usually fly exceptional. You know, the best thing Dynam could do is fire the company that makes their retracts, and hire the company that makes E-flight retracts. This would be a serious game changer for Dynam.

It would be great if hey offered "no electronics, no motor" ARFs...

Stick in good servos/retracts/motor(s)/ESCs in and they are great.

Mostly I've gotten good motors and serviceable servos/retracts from Dynam, but I know there are better.

[rifleman_btx]

Yes indeed, i bet a model of it would be pretty quick as well.

[Woodcock]

Ya know at first glance a T-Bone, (IE Twin Bonanza) Doesn't really look that big. It's almost as big as a King Air 90, it just doesn't have a large cabin. It's a huge plane. Very nice plane, I always like those.

Indeed i have 4 other packages with parts on the way. And this made it here first. I guess its budget time for the warehouse. Trying to fill the allotted quotas :Thinking:

[Valkpilot]

Ya know mate, that one caught my eye too. But on that one at least, I'm listening to the critics. The nose wheel has to suck serious. It also doesn't sound to me like anyone has been able to correct that issue. That's probably why they're getting cheaper and cheaper.

Woody

The Commander isn't the only model that had nose wheel problems. The UMX MiG 15 did, I think mainly due to the attempt at "scale accuracy". And so does the A-10, along with a "glass nose". I guess not everybody in the business is as QC oriented as the MRC folks.

[JamesonC]

It does make you wonder about them when they send you a box with only a slip of paper and a packing slip.

My buddy had the same thing happen. He ordered some spare parts and got two shipping notifications. One was all his parts, the other was a pretty good size box with nothing but a flier/ad in it with a packing slip showing that was all that was supposed to be in the box. :Thinking:

[rifleman_btx]

Oh and on to the buschmule, it does fly nice, but i would buy it as kit form and add your own servos and electronics. Nose wheel is controlled with a plastic geared servo, and the escs are way too lean for that application. Another cool one would be the beechcraft twin bonanza model 50.

[rifleman_btx]

Welp, HobbyKing does have an Avios Bush Mule, which to me is very Twin Otter like. I would actually think a scale Twin Otter would be very cool. Probably a really nice flying plane to boot. If they got that thing right, you could in theory fly it pretty slow. I will probably get that Bush Mule eventually. But I already have the Durifly Tundra in the box. Figure I better build and fly that first.

Ya know Rman, I got me one of those 1M Wildcats from Parkzone. Mostly because I wanted something I could carry in my truck and fly on a moments notice. Found a park near my house and was having a ball with it until I did something stupid, and tried a trim adjustment in a turn. Had a mind fart I guess, (happens to us older folks, LOL). Then had a minor crash. Didn't even break the prop, just bent it too much to use again. The front cowl is like it's made out of china dish ware. Shattered of course. But let me tell ya man, that thing fly's superb. Just very very fragile. Wont take any punishment what so ever. I was bummed. So I worked off and on most of the day Sunday piecing that cowl back together. Now I can't find a prop anywhere on earth. I usually purchase as a rule at least 3 or 4 spare props when I order something like this, but they didn't have any at the time, still don't. It's kind of a special prop, fat on the tip and skinny at the hub. Wont be purchasing any new planes any more planes that don't have spare propellers available at the time of purchase. Personally you think Horizon would have planned for that. But I was really excited about how well it flew. Almost exactly like a Dynam Hellcat, little smaller, but just a ton of fun to fly.

Sorry about the speel everyone.

Best Regards

Yeah, a King Air would be awesome! One flew into the local airport while we were flying at our club field. The King Air was just stunning coming in on final approach on a summer night. The Seminole would be another good option. I always kind of liked the Dynam civilian twin (Grand Cruiser?), but the quality of some of the Dynam stuff limited my interest. The UMX Aero Commander remains on my list of planes I wouldn't mind owning if I find a great deal on a pre-owned one. A larger twin with retracts would really be nice.

Don't bother with the Aero Commander. While it might have been my set-up or "rustiness" I had some serious problems with it. And unless you belly-land, order extra nose wheels.

I'd love to see a civilian multi. Like a Seminole or a Baron or something bigger like a King Air!

I like the way you're thinking here. I believe a King Air 200 model would fly really well. The longer tail moment and the T-tail, I think would work great. How ever if given the choice, I would prefer a Mitsubishi MU-2, commonly known as a, "Rice Rocket". It had this name much earlier than when they started referring to Japanese motorcycles. I honestly think it was the original coined term. Once again it would have to be the larger longer one, and forget about making it original with spoilerons, and just simply put traditional ailerons on it. THe MU-2 didn't have ailerons, and flying it with spoilerons was a very different experience. This was a little plane had pretty extreme performance for a Turbo Prop Civilian Aircraft. Not many planes in it's class would keep up with it. But if they were going to do a civi plane, this would be a good one in my opinion.

Yes, there was an OV-10 at Joe Nall/Motion, I was sure it was a teaser about things to come, but they denied it... And it was obviously a plane that had been around for a while, but... sure got me wondering!

[JamesonC]

Caught part of the movie "American Made" on one of the movie channels last night and thought an Aerostar would make a fun RC plane. That was a beautiful civilian twin and would translate well into a RC plane. Not sure of how big the market would be for a civilian twin, compared to the 336/337/O-2 that has both civilian and military markets.

Parkzone micro Mosquito got a bad reputation, mainly (I believe) because it was impossible to get the CG to where it would fly correctly using the battery supplied.

Mine is modified for a pair of 200 mah 1S in parallel instead of the single 250 mah.

Next to solve is the need for differential ailerons. It has really bad adverse yaw at low speed. (common for deep under-chambered wings of the micros)

It was quite the handful, and why I keep away from planes that load the battery through the nose or on the bottom. Toploaders are much easier to balance and adjust.
