What new Propeller models would you like to see next?

[rifleman_btx]

My dynam corsair is very strong and without issues. Im pleased with it. If i build another, im definitely going to get a different decal set. That is one thing i never really cared for with their planes the decals are meh, and the pilots... always look high and i dont mean in the sky!LOL

The nearest thing to a 1600 EPO Corsair is the 1700 by FMS that explodes in flight when the motor comes loose. I really don't want to get into wood airplanes that end up being a thousand or $1,400 by the time you have it flying after spending many hours constructing. The free wing Spitfire is well worth the money and they need to come out with some more WW2 Fighters that size with their quality.

Hey Buddy, We're all friends here, so please don't take my opinion, (which is all it is) as the gospel, or me trying to admonish your opinion. As your's is just as valid as mine. : ) I've seen a couple of Vid's of the FMS plane coming apart in flight. I personally just chalk it up to a poor build on the owners part.
I have several FMS models, and have found them to be second to none in quality. Especially when building a larger model, IT'S THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE PLANE STAYS IN ONE PIECE, not FMS's.

I'm almost certain that FMS does a fair amount of foundry work for more than a couple of the FreeWing and FlightLine models. So if Flightline chose to make a Corsair offering, (Which I seriously would rather they don't because of all the others already out there) there is probably a better than average chance FMS would be building it anyway. Something to consider. Maybe not, to be honest I'm not sure, but I think it could be possible. So maybe they will make it, maybe they won't. But Horizon just offered there new and improved P-51 Mustang, (As if we really needed another one of these, LOL).

I would much rather Flight Line brought back the 1600mm A-1 Sky Raider. As there is only an 800mm version being offered by anyone right now. I have a Dynam Corsair and love it. There have been all sorts of story's about the poor quality of this plane! Motors melting and coming loose, bad retracts, (I fitted mine with a set of Eflight Retracts). Yes the plane has issues, I just corrected them all, and ended up with a beautiful rendition of a WW2 Corsair. That fly's and looks good enough for me. I'll post pictures maybe some day, if I get time.

But good luck to you mate. Maybe they will make another Corsair. Like I said Horizon just made a brand spanking new P-51.

Best Regards
Woody

Sorry guys, I guess I should have clarified, I fortunately, was not among the people who got laid off, but all of my crew is going and a lot of people I consider friends are gone now. 19 people left on Friday and my crew could be gone by the new year. I'm hoping for the best, but have 40 more months to work in the U.S. and then hopefully retire at age 68. Lesson for all the younger crowd here, start saving those $$ and be able to retire to a big airfield and fly fly fly!!

I would like to put in my vote for a 1600 Corsair in WW 2 colors and A-26 invader in Korea war markings.
they also need to bring more planes out in silver or appropriate color scheme so we can put our own markings on them.

Seriously? You honestly don't think we have enough Corsairs out there?? I'm with ya on the A-26, But there are plenty of B-24's that could be easily modded to look like this. But I think an A-26 could be OK I guess, I like the looks of it.

But Corsair's?? Take a look around man!! I like Corsair's, but between Hanger 9, and all the others I think we got this model pretty well covered. Now an A-7 Corsair is a different story entirely.

The Zero is one of my all time favorites. I still think the original FMS 1400mm Zero remains one of the best flying foam MP warbirds I've ever flown, period. And I've flown, without exaggeration, nearly all of them. I'd wager that many pilots who flew one would agree it's a sweetheart.

Sadly, another fact cannot be ignored: All data we have point to Zeros and other Japanese warbirds, in any foam size over the past five years, struggling to break even. From a manufacturer's investment point of view, it's impossible for me to convince them that the sixth time's the charm. For whatever reason, the market voted with their wallets against further Japanese warbirds. At least until newer warbirds have been done and the cycle begins anew. Meanwhile, T-28s, Cubs and Mustangs continue to sell, sell, sell.

As a modeler (not as a developer), I too want to see new, never before modeled aircraft. But as a developer, I'm telling y'all straight, supporting "left field" products that are on the market now is always the most powerful way of influencing manufacturers to continue to push outside the Classics in the future. Otherwise the temptation (and economics) to continue with the Same is understandably difficult to ignore.

Slack day at work, 19 people just got laid off, really sucks, in case you're wondering what I'm doing here at this hour.....

Sorry to hear that Dan. When I worked for Northwest Airlines during the years I was with the Air Guard we went on strike 5 times for months at a time, thank goodness I had the Air Force to fall back on. Hope you get back to work real soon my friend, hang in there.

I traded my zero off with another plane for a hangar 9 hellcat which was a great flying plane as well. The FMS 1400mm Zero was the only warbird foam plane I ever had to add just a touch of tail weight. It was a phenomenal flying plane. I think it is one of the models that is just screaming to be made as a 16 or better yet a 1700mm model. No tail retract, that would be some savings, no twist and turn mains, another plus. Nice scale looks. Yeah, I think its one plane that you could absolutely not go wrong making as a 1600 or better yet a 1700 mm plane.

I get the economics of it. But, I have noticed more and more giant scale gas zero's at the war bird meets. They appear to fly as well if not better than anything there. Oh well, we can dream

[rifleman_btx]

Dan, i feel your pain. Only difference is a sniper and a small explosive device decided i would be cut loose early from my attempted career. So i understand what its like to suddenly have the rug pulled out from under you. :/

[Alpha]

Send you a PM, Dan

[farmflyer]

Dan I didn’t catch this when I first read your post sorry to hear it. I understand your situation completely I used to get laid off occasionally with a good paying job I had years back but I was younger and getting work was easier. Finally I got tired of it and moved on it actually worked out a lot better in the end. I hope something similar happens for you and it works out to be a blessing in disguise.

Why not bring back a 1600mm zero... Grass field capable is a must...

Dan.....so sorry my friend. I went through that :Poo:twice. It always feels like a sucker punch:Angry:

My condolences. Never been laid off, but have had hours cut. Hope you go back soon so you can get that Heinkel when it comes out.

[Jhnybgd]

Yeah I got a little carried away with the same scale:Thinking:but it would be great at 2000mm ummm and not made by Dynam please:Straight-Face:

[Grossman56]

that would have to be a big He 111, but a 2000 mm would be great

[rifleman_btx]

But with the 1200, more believable.

[OV10]

+1 on He111,needs to be in scale with the 1600 spit.

Think about the HE bieng chased xown the runway by the Spit:Drooling:

Never happen in scale to the 1600 Spitty since the HE111 has a span twice that :Straight-Face:
