    Personally, I'd rather see an A-26 than another B-26. But that's just me.

      Definitely! An A-26 would be a great model to see, both in the Vietnam A-26K and WWII A-26B versions.

        Oh I totally agree. That's what I was trying to say. Just not made by dynam though. I did more than enough cutting and filling in on my B-26 to clean up the engine nacelle lines to the wing

          There are lots of P-51's out there because they sell. However, both the Freewing 1410mm and FMS 1450mm are getting long in the tooth. 1400 - 1500 is a great size - big enough to handle hard surface and most grass fields, small enough to store and transport wings on, and at a popular price range without the added expense of 6s vs 4s batteries. I wouldn't mind seeing updated versions with better stock power, more reliable retracts, plug-in wings etc. Advantage to the distributor/manufacturer - no major retooling costs. Actually, if Freewing/FMS doesn't update, I'll bet Horizon/E-Flite will.

              I think Hanger 9 is in the process of an update too. Probably folding wings would be my guess. Oh Well, I give up. LOL Bring on the P-51's. LOL I hear ya man, updated and improved is always better.

              Now Alpha, if you're watching. I would like to see a really cool hand tosser to go with the P-51. I vote for a Hellcat.

                    There might just be a bomber in the pipeline. Some of the most requested airplanes have been bombers.

                      All I can say is, if there isn't an OV-10 in the VERY NEAR future, it will get ugly. I'm talking Phyllis Diller naked ugly.

                        Oh I am pretty sure Motion RC is well aware that the OV-10 has been a highly requested model by now. So it might be coming up next as soon as they can get it right. The OV-10 design does not seam like an airplane that would translate to foam easily because of its thin tail booms and custom long gear.

                          The Broncos articulating gear would be cool but too heavy and complex for its 1700mm size............see how I slipped that in? :)

                          I don’t mind the gear not functioning scale, it doesn’t seem to hurt the 99.9% of every model produced that don’t operate per its full size counterpart.

                          Is it here yet?

                                I was not aware the Yak models nose and main gear collapsed upon retraction, thus taking up less internal space in the airframe! :Confused:

                                        I'd love to see a P-39 with all the bells and whistles we have come to expect from Flightline. Something in 1400/1600 mm would be my preferred size. ;)
